I have setup an rss feed for 1 content type and this is working fine. I have now been asked to add another content type into the same feed so that both the news content type and blog content types are merged in one rss feed. I dont think this is possible as when you add both content types and go to fields, drupal asks you which field is to be used for the title and which field is to be used for the content etc. As the two data types have different fields then in my mind this limits rss feeds to one data type only. If I wanted to merge the two types of data then I would need to create a news-blog data type and input all information into the one content type and then have a field to identify whether its news or a blog post.

Please could you confirm if I am right in that you cant have 2 content types in a single rss feed or if I am incorrect then how can this be done?

Thanks

Nick

You can create a feed with more than one content type by using the views module.
You need to create a page type rss ann then filter by node->type selecting which types you want to appear in the feed.

Thanks for replying - I did this but when I selected to display flields it didnt give me the normal list of fields to choose a field from. Instead it just said title and a drop down box to select which field was to be the title field. Due to having two content types and hence two titles, I was unsure how I could select both?
