[Xerte] Xerte (toolkits) and RSS

[Catherall, Paul]

We're actually just using 1 user account, the default one between 3 people right now, as we want them to work collaboratively in the same workspace, and see all the objects in Xerte, we also want to output the contents using generic feeds, so one for say a 'library tutorials' folder. I could be wrong but I think if they use their own accounts they get separate workspaces which isn't quite how we want them to work.

Hi Paul,

That's a neat idea.

It can also, do a feed for a user if that helps.

I just thought I'd share this approach we may be using to display the learning objects in our Web site(s).

As Xerte Toolkits generates RSS for site / folders, and our staff don't have much Web skills at the moment, I'll be suggesting something like this http://liv.ac.uk/library/ohecampus/help/interactive.htm where it's simply displayed automatically as a list, it's also using http://www.feed2js.org to output the RSS as HTML (until our local rss parser starts working on the server again..)
