I need to use RSS to update Dlvr.it feeds, so have to create the RSS feed direct from JSON - has anyone out there tried this?
I asked Wappler AI to do it, whilst it said it was possible, every attempt resulted in a failure. It looks like RSS isn't supported in the app.js file:
{"status":"500","message":"Action template doesn't exist in core","stack":"Error: Action template doesn't exist in core\n at App._exec
(C:\\Users\\xxx\\Documents\\xxxxx\\Site-Name-Obscured\\lib\\core\\app.js:712:17)\n
Or, is there another way to achieve this without having to use a third party API..?
I did an XML feed by using a Wappler extension (will need to dig it out as I can't remember what it was called or who made it) which allowed you to easily write and append to a file so I looped through the data writing it to the text file. I did this to create a sitemap.xml file. RSS is similar so you could do it in the same way. Mine was PHP but I think the extension is available for both.
It's NodeJS, the method you mention sounds like the way to go up to now.. I'll try and take a look see if I can find that extension too, thanks for pitching in
Yes, something similar to that, RSS 2.0 format with a file extension of .rss - as per this:
I have a db table that outputs the usual JSON from a news release table. I need to create an RSS feed for it so I can feed it into an aggregator service (dlvr.it) and various other sources (to Google for example).
I hope this very old feature request has not been forgotten. It seems a serious omission from the server-side tools Wappler offers. Apart from the FR referred to, it would solve the issue in the current thread - and others (eg creating XML site maps).
