RSS for Single postings? (single.xml?)

support
1

Most of my blog’s individual postings are collections of individual items such as pictures: /trips/iceland.html will show a collection of my Iceland Trip pictures

Does anybody know if it would be possible to have an RSS feed for every individual posting (/trips/iceland.xml, not trips/rss.xml)? I have been playing with renaming it to single.xml and playing with the [outputformats] and [mediaType] fields on the config files with zero success so far.

Is something like this even possible with hugo?

Creating a layouts/_default/single.xml template might work. But what is the point of having a feed with a single post? Who would subscribe to it?

You need to tell Hugo, that it should create RSS for these sections. Probably like this:

[outputs]
trip = [ "HTML", "RSS" ]

The default is HTML only for pages I believe, so you have to tell it.

I tried this, it didn’t work, although it should

About subscribing, at this point it’s just for me to keep track of the content on an RSS reader.

I tried this, but still only renders trips/index.xml , not trips/*/index.xml

it looks like [outputs] can only go one level in, not two levels to single posts. I am not sure if this is by design.

6

all these pages are of kind page. Try page instead of trip. It might create more than you like.

That totally worked and it was so simple, thanks so much @davidsneighbour !

Something else, I can’t quite mark this as [solved] as I (potentially) found a kink here.

@davidsneighbour 's solution works although it only seem to display the default RSS, it completely ignores _default/single.rss.xml (and /trips/single.rss.xml and so on).

I have tried with several combinations and I can’t seem to be able to make hugo read my own RSS template, it only displays the default one.

Did I just find a bug or does anybody know if I am missing anything here?
