R – Configuring RSS feed in MOSS

mosssharepoint

I am trying to configure RSS feed for a pages library in MOSS. The requirement is fairly simple, it includes:

display the page title
display the page description (short summary)
filter the feed by the content type

I have done the following:

enable RSS feed in site collection
enable and configure the RSS feed on the list to display the description
create custom view to filter by content type

However, the feed is displaying page file name instead of page title.

Anyone know if I missed something obvious?

I found this when searching for an answer to this question. The solution I found might help you but it seems overkill for what you're trying to achieve. I haven't worked with the SharePoint RSS feed much so I have no idea if there's a simpler way to get replace the page name with the title. Still, check this article out and see if it helps.

Also I just noticed the question date...but I've already typed all this...so...yeah.

Unfortunately the lookup control is designed to be compatible with generic lists and does not understand that the document libraries have a file with a specific url associated.

You will probably have to find a custom lookup control on the web or roll your own.

you'll need to get the value from an item in the list. off the top, i think this will work:

SPList list = SPContext.Current.Web.Lists["my list name"];
SPListItem item = list.items.GetItemById(ItemId);

//the following 2 lines are not strictly necessary
//but since you explicitly mentioned this is related to ContentTypes
//this is how you can ensure the item you retrieved is of the apprpriate type
SPContentTypeId myContentTypeId = GetContentTypeId();
if (list.ContentTypes.BestMatch(myContentTypeId).Equals(item.ContentType.Id))
{
  string value = item["interesting field name"].ToString();
  //if the value is of interest, do your thing
}
