[CKAN-support] FW: RSS de-featured in 2.0?

Tue Jan 28 07:31:02 UTC 2014

Hi George,

As far as I can see, the feeds themselves seem to be working.

Groups
Format: https://data.qld.gov.au/feeds/group/{id}.atom
Example: https://data.qld.gov.au/feeds/group/business-and-economic.atom

Tags
Format: https://data.qld.gov.au/feeds/tag/{id}.atom
Example: https://data.qld.gov.au/feeds/tag/government.atom

Datasets
Format: https://data.qld.gov.au/feeds/dataset.atom

Custom
Format: https://data.qld.gov.au/feeds/custom.atom?param=value
Example:
https://data.qld.gov.au/feeds/custom.atom?q=population&sort=metadata_modified%20desc

I'll take a quick look at what CKAN shows up on individual pages to
followup what CKAN shows on each page.  Additionally, I don't think CKAN
actually does what they want with RSS (or used to). If they want users to
follow certain datasets and be emailed of activity, the activity stream
does it already. Users can follow datasets to see it's feed in their
dashboard. Or have email
notifications<http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/email-notifications.html>
.
