RSS has very specific fields that it outputs, I don't know that it would make any sense to have a specific RSS output without also a UI to specify which fields need to go where. (Patch welcome ;-)

What are you trying to accomplish? Just some form of data export? The module as-is (6.x-2.x anyway) supports views_bonus export (CSV, XML, XLS, etc) just fine.

Hi - Thx for answer

In general, in all the RSS style I'v used before, there was no way to choose the fields (I thing they where pre-choosen by the code or something like that ?)

I'm not trying to export datas. My first idea was to send an email, according to parameters like "that field is empty", to some admins. The Bonus Pack Rules allow this, but I can't see the Webform MySQL Views inside it to use it with Rules (don't know why :( )

So my idea was to generate from Webform MySQL Views a RSS flux that should made the stuff (telling to admin : "Hey guys, there's something here to do, you have some work" ;)

Yup, so RSS is pretty much designed for nodes. It has a title, a description (body/teaser), a timestamp and file attachments.

There's no sensible way to parse the data from all possible webforms into that small fixed set of fields. If you *do* want to do that, it's possible to add your own row plugin to Views that would grab your webform data and output it as an RSS feed... but I don't think it makes sense to add that into this module.

Oh, alternatively, you could create a custom tpl.php for the view and format your data any way you like without needing to code a plugin.

Ok, so the "bug" with RSS is not a bug - it makes sense :)

Gonna try to take a look to that proposition "Oh, alternatively, you could create a custom tpl.php for the view and format your data any way you like without needing to code a plugin."

Don't really know how to do that, but I should find it out.
Hope so.

Many many thanks for your answers.
