Hi,

Believe it or not, I am new to RSS so I need some help. Namely, I want to write the instruction for publishers for using RSS on my site, but because I myself don't know exactly what and how they can do with those XML files and java script, I need someone to explain to me how that part works in vivvo.

Can someone tell me in details how they can use this feature?

To embed XML in 3rd party website, they will need some programmer to write a piece of code (or use free XML parsers) in that purpose. XML is usually aimed towards end-users who read content on your website. The easiest way is to use RSS icon in address bar of your browser (click on it) and subscribe to the feed.

JavaScript feed can be easily used by publishers (other websites), all they need to do is copy/paste JS code and embed it in their HTML page. As simple as that.

I don't understand that.

There is feed importer in vivvo, right? It imports articles through the link to third party XML file, right?
In the same way can other websites use my XML files, right?

I figured out that clicking the RSS button on the navbar opens the XML files where items are 5 random articles from random categories. Number of items is 5. HoW can I change it to 10? Where?
I found where to change the number of items for XML file that contains articles from one particular category (RSS/rss.php ,line 100 , $wcHeadlines=5) but where is the other one changed ?

If you want to view 10 articles in your rss plase use this
http://yoursite/rss/rss.php?wcCategory=0&wcHeadlines=10

wcCategory=0 => For all category
wcCategory=1 or ... wcCategory=6 or ... => For once category who is defined.

wcHeadlines=5 => Default value from Vivvo
wcHeadlines=x => Number of articles in you rss

It's ok?
