    I recently upgraded to EE2 and need to build a new RSS feed… I was going to use the template ExpressionEngine offered, but it looks like it’s no longer available… or it was moved somewhere as the old link does not work: http://expressionengine.com/templates/source/category/feeds/

    Can someone direct me to where the RSS feed template is located? Thanks!

    Perhaps the template in the wiki could get you started?

    Nope… didn’t seem to help.

    I continue to get “empty feed”... partial code pasted below:

    <item>
            <title>empty_feed</title>
            <description>empty_feed</description>
            Thu, 28 Oct 2010 00:36:54 GMT</pubDate>
        </item>
        </channel>
    </rss>

    Can you show us the relevant parts of your template? Make sure there actually are entries with an “open” status, not in the future, not expired.

    I have also noticed that one of my EE sites now has an RSS feed that shows only “empty_feed” when that page is called. I tried replacing the content of that template with that of the one in the wiki Ingmar linked to above, but now I only get an XML parser error in the first character of the first line of the template:

    {assign_variable:master_weblog_name="announcements|events|news"}
    ^

    Any idea what might be causing this?

    Please disregard my last post. It works much better when using the sample RSS template provided at the URL below.

    GVF - Glad things are working better. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
