Static RSS for new/cool/ratings
Hi,

For anyone who's interested, I just wrote this little script that will build .rss files for you. You may want to change the file extensions to .xml, but thats just a case of doing a search and replace of rss for xml :))

1) Edit build_rss.cgi, to replace /path/to/admin (2 occassions) to your path to the admin folder
2) Upload build_rss.cgi and CHMOD to 755 (where ever you want to upload, although the ideal place is in the admin folder)
3) Upload the .html files attached in into your templates folder (if using the luna template set for example, upload to /admin/template/luna)
4) Run the script, to test it works ok.
5) Setup a cronjob. You can set it to run whenever you want, although the ideal one would be daily - something like this should work:

Code:
0 0 * * * perl /full/path/to/build_rss.cgi

Hopefully this is of some use to someone =)

BTW: I've left the .html templates attached, so GT can look into why they won't open Unsure

Cheers
