About the RSS Module

Sitecore RSS module allows you to easily syndicate your content providing RSS feeds to end users. All you need to do is install the RSS module and create one or more RSS feeds syndicating the specific content branch, single site or the whole Sitecore solution and then provide users with a feed link.

 

Then a user may choose to subscribe to the feed of one’s interest (one may only be interested in new downloads or new articles on xaml technology) and have all of the updates delivered to one’s PC automatically. It is really simple and convenient!


 

RSS quickly gained support across the web, and now there are dozens of both free and commercial RSS reader applications. Media giants like MSN, Google and Yahoo provide web RSS readers and integrate RSS services into their offers.

 

In fact RSS got so popular that some users do not want to refresh the news pages every hour any longer – they want the content to be delivered right to their doors and as often as they like.


Sitecore RSS Module supports different kinds of feeds, like the ones that are refreshed on each Sitecore publishing, thus saving server resources, or the dynamic feeds which are generated upon surfer’s request and support item-specific security.


It is also possible to turn any content item into RSS feed so that the users are completely free in their choice of subscription, whether it’s the whole articles section, a specific group of items or even a single article.
