I have a List of blogpost-like items, which are published through a Page on a public facing site. I'd like to provide a selection of these items as an simple RSS feed (Title & Description), so I have configured the Publishing Page's RSS settings to "Link RSS items directly to their files" and set up a Content Query Web Part, filtering the appropriate items, and enabling its RSS feed.

The problem is that the RSS feed's items (and the CQWP itself) link to the items' internal Display Forms instead of their public facing urls.

Any help on the issue will be greatly appreciated.

You would need to customize the RSS that CQWP generates. This MSDN article contains instructions.

Basically you need to create your own XSL file and register it in \Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\portnumber\wpresources\web.config.

  • Thanks - So far we have edited the rss.xsl file's value <xsl:call-template name="OuterTemplate.GetSafeStaticUrl"> to point it to the desired url path. Once we're happy with the structure we'll register it in the web.config. – orestisf Jan 23 '12 at 20:15
