Further RSS setup questions:
Reference Link: http://www.allergy-immunology.com/index.php?/Commons/testRSS/

Question 1:
How do I setup the <link> node to be a custom url link.  Seems to append whatever value i have after my base IP.  I would like to put a custom link in this area (ex: http://www.google.com).

<link>http://www.google.com</link>

Question 2:
Trying to show my the categories, but nothing shows up.  Using unchanged code from template RSS that comes with EE.

<dc:subject>{exp:xml_encode}{categories backspace="1"}{category_name}, {/categories}{/exp:xml_encode}</dc:subject>

Question 3:
Is there a way to filter the RSS by category or date etc?  How do I filter the RSS?

Question 4:
How do I setup the RSS to point to our WIKI and our FORUM???
I think you responded to this earlier, but i am still confused.
Is there a link to where the WIKI/FORUM RSS template is?

Do you have a copy of the default rss template up- I’d put up a copy of that (found here- to alter the item links, you just tweak:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{master_weblog_name}" limit="10" rdf="off" dynamic_start="on" disable="member_data|trackbacks"}
    <item>
      <title>{exp:xml_encode}{title}{/exp:xml_encode}</title>
      <link>{title_permalink=site/index}</link>

That last line?  That should be the link to the individual article.  You could use whatever path variable you like- I generally use {comment_url_title_auto_path}- it’s weblog specific- the base url is set in ‘Admin- Weblog Admin- Weblog Management’ for each weblog- it the weblog’s ‘path’ settings.

As for the categories- do they show up in a regular weblog tag?  It’s just the rss where they fail?

For the wiki- it depends on where your wiki is installed, but in general- mysite.com/index.php?/wiki/Special:Recentchanges_RSS - if that doesn’t help, do you have a link to your wiki?
