Finding the RSS feed URL

Post by Jynxx »

Hi!
I have been back and forth with Jan, who has been a huge help in setting up my downloads and all the modules I need... but there seems to be some confusion as to what exactly I am looking for, so I am hoping someone on here can help me.

Basically, I am looking for an RSS feed of my latest files added. Jan said that the RSS feed is visible in the module, but I can't seem to find it, and Jan takes a very long time to reply to emails. This is something I need done ASAP, as it is the last thing I really need checked off from my site development. I want my users to be able to plug the RSS feed into their feed readers so that they get updated whenever there is a new file added. Jan says that this feature is built in, but doesn't ever say how I can access it, or what the URL would be to get it. Jan said that the feed URL for THIS site is:

Code: Select all

https://www.phoca.cz/download/feed/111?format=feed&type=rss
But that comes up with a 500-FORBIDDEN error, so I don't think that is right. An RSS feed should be public, just like the RSS feed for the forums here, which is:

Code: Select all

https://www.phoca.cz/forum/rss.php
THAT is what I am looking for, but for Phoca Downloads specifically. As I said, I want my users to be able to keep up with my site, and know when I add new content automatically.

I think there is a communication gap that Jan and I just can't overcome, and so I am asking for everyone's help in this. PLEASE help me!

If you can help, thank you in advance!

I seem to have found it, but now I have another conundrum.

My links are protected so that only registered users can get to them... is there any way to make a public feed? One that doesn't have links?

Or does anyone know of a service that will take an authenticated feed and re-publish it? I tried "Free My Feed", as it is supposed to do just that... but it won't work unless it is basic authentication, like a pop up box. I need a way to make it log in to the site and grab the feed from there.
