@bdwankhede

The extension is converted into a subdirectory for the templates. So app/views/layouts/rss/default.ctp moved to app/views/layouts/default.ctp should meet your needs.

If you want both to be available you can add another route.

Is there any way we can exclude .rss extension from the url?
simply we need
http://example.com/live

Wow. That’s great!
I spent much time to research this problem.

But, this site below gave me the incorrect guideline.
- http://anupom.wordpress.com/2008/03/12/rss-in-cakephp-12/

This url is enough good, but lead us not using RSS helper of cakePHP
- http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/rss-feed-them-cake

And now, I found that, this location is very good, very exactly for dummy. Also, all of you could visit here:
- http://mark-story.com/nodes/view/creating-rss-feeds-with-cakephp-and-extensionless-routing

The key problem is, it must be $items and $channel called at default layout of rss/xml, not $content_for_layout as shown at normal layout.

@Paul
I think you should try this article instead, http://edwardawebb.com/programming/php-programming/cakephp/generating-dynamic-sitemaps-cakephp.

Check you have the parse extensions configuration properly set in your routes to include .xml, and that your view is in the xml folder.

@Jim

I am not sure how similar your code is to this post, but the method here works fine for FF. Just off the top of my head I would check that you have the RequestHandler component and the RSS helper in the controller.

Also, I don’t believe I used the line you included in my controller or view. If that is the problem just remove it.

I’ve got a very similar codebase to this for the RSS feeds in one of my applications, however i always find firefox tries to force a file download with the rss feed, the line that causes this seems to be echo $rss->header(); . Just wondered if anyone knew what was going wrong here I want the rss feed to opened up the browser.

I’ve been trying to implement an xml sitemap using this approach and I can access the dynamic xml document at example.com/sitemap but when I go to example.com/sitemap.xml I get an error. I guess this is a routes problem but I can’t seem to fix it. Anyone else hads this problem or know how to fix it?

@Gregg

Well I wrote this article a while back and had to do some digging. I left out to critical pieces, the RequestHandler component (in the controller) and the RSS layout (in the views). I have updated those sections above.
