How to create RSS feed

[eluser]clintonbeattie[/eluser]
Hi,

I've nearly finished my blog build with codeigniter and wondering how easy it is to output an RSS feed so people can subscribe with a feed reader.

Any advice welcome.

Thanks,
C

depends on how you want to format the feed, because RSS is only 1 feed format, you may consider later JSON, or ATOM, but you would build the output just like you would a normal view, and send a download header, using the download helpers and redirect back if necessary

Hi there, I have finished my RSS feed, tested it and all works perfectly, but when I remove an article from my feed it still showed in the reader. How do i get the reader to see the article is no longer part of the feed?

I don't know if my advice could be of any help after all the replies you had but, I personally use SimplePie RSS that can be easily transformed in a CI Plugin reading this tutorial:
