====Wikka RSS feeds====

A small modification to ##header.php## allows Wikka feeds to be 'autodiscovered' by most feed readers and now also by some browsers supporting this mechanism.

Add the following lines after the stylesheet-related lines in ##actions/header.php##:

%%(php)
<?php
if ($this->GetMethod() != 'edit') {
$rsslink = ' <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="'.$this->GetWakkaName().': revisions for '.$this->tag.' (RSS)" href="'.$this->Href('revisions.xml', $this->tag).'" />'."\n";
$rsslink .= ' <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="'.$this->GetWakkaName().': recently edited pages (RSS)" href="'.$this->Href('recentchanges.xml', $this->tag).'" />'."\n";
echo $rsslink;
}
?>
%%

====Feed reader support====

To use autodiscovery, you don't need to find out the location of the RSS file, you simply give your RSS reader the address of the web page and the RSS reader will search the page for any RSS links that it can find.

Feed readers with autodiscovery include (in alphabetical order):

~-[[http://bitworking.org/Aggie.html | Aggie]]
~-[[http://www.bradsoft.com/feeddemon/ | FeedDemon]]
~-[[http://www.sharpreader.net/ | SharpReader]] (Only the first link is picked up.)
