Shagy, you do not have to use restful routes, that’s just my example. What’s your issue?

James, I have not tried adding images, but if you do I will post the solution.

Nice stuff. This works well for me, but I have yet to figure out how to add an image to my feed, probably because I am a noob. Would you use an enclosure or the images array? Almost all of my rss items will have at least one image. It sure would be nice if someone would just write a to_rss method that works just like to_xml.

I’ve tried everything and can’t get rss feeds to generate from my rails 2.0.2 app.
Do you HAVE to use restful routes? I’ve tried with and without.
just can’t get it to work and been trying for 2 days.

You would use hostname/controller_name/feed.rss but more likely you’d use < %= auto_discovery_link_tag(:rss, {:controller => “controller_name”, :action => “feed”, :format => “rss”}) %> in the of your page.

Have you tested this? It doesn’t work for me. What link would you put in the RSS reader?
