Adding RSS to Rails

Published on March 24, 2007 in Requirements engineering. 3 Comments

Adding a RSS feed to a Rails app is a work of a couple of hours.

I followed the instructions detailed here.

Then I had to do some tweaking. I was missing tags in my XML, or they were not correctly populated, so I used this wikipedia page to keep the structure in mind.

The final test was the Feed Validator, which made the job really easy.

I am still having some issues, I need to try to change the address from rss.xml to feed.rss to see if the extension is the reason for Thunderbird to offer to download the file instead of parsing it.

This is my first post over what is my most time consuming hobby, to the strong dismay of my wife, Requirements Tracker.

This website offers the possibility to create requirements and manage their lifecycle.

I just added a basic functionality to add a RSS feed by project. Hopefully this should be consolidated and extended to the requirements by next week.
