Hi Bengo.

1.) filename.rss.xml should do the trick

2.) Word is probably your problem - it does a whole bunch of stuff behind your back. I would suggest rather copying the text from the example above into Notepad and then editing it.

3.) Don't worry too much about how the file manager renders the document. It should be fine.

4.) if you named the file: filename.rss.xml and uploaded it to the file manager, and your site is: http://www.scratchinpost.synthasite.com/, then the file you uploaded should be available at:
http://www.scratchinpost.synthasite.c...

Hope this helps. let me know if you have any further questions

Bengo replied on October 01, 2008 05:44 to the question "Feeds" in SynthaSite:

1. Finally installing this and having a few hitches. Is filename.rss.xml the correct ending?
2.Is it OK to load this with WORD XML protocol, as there is an advisory NOT to use Word with formatting, but there is no other way to upload the file that Synthasite will accept?
3.What should I do about the file appearing as a ? in the files menu? This suggests the wrong appellation.
4. The link described above -- where do you envision it being placed in a typical application (what site, what page) to confirm what I think? It would typically go on the home page of the site you just made the link for, right?

I would also like to vote on this issue...pasting XML, even inside the "code" tag, strips out all attributes. Which results in customers asking me for this: http://getsatisfaction.com/balsamiq/t...

A simple escape of the text within a code tag would do no?

Looks like this is not much improved after 3months.

I notice I can wrap code with a <code> block, but it makes some odd decisions and tries to reformat the code. It's not pretty. The only thing that seemed to work was to convert all angle brackets to html entities -- but only the most desperate are going to muck around with that.

The best code snippet options I've seen are through http://stackoverflow.com/ -- they use a Markdown approach to content.

As it is, we can't really support developers through GetSatisfaction -- although I imagine its a great solution for end users.

If someone else owns the copyright to the music then you may not sell it or claim it as your own, no matter how you obtained a copy of the song! Please make sure that you do not do anything on your site that is illegal or a violation of our terms of service as this could lead to the disabling of your site and/or the permanent canceling of your account. – Monique, on September 04, 2008 06:52

as long as you didn't rip the song off a cd or downloaded it illegally, you can use it without copyright, you just can't sell it or say its your own

A comment on the question "What is PHP?" in SynthaSite:

Ohk, thank alot Christo :-) – Monica_unwell, on August 18, 2008 00:57

christoAtSyntha replied on August 18, 2008 00:52 to the question "What is PHP?" in SynthaSite:

hi Monica

As Monique mentioned, PHP is a scripting language. If you download your website you will see that it is written in PHP. The great thing about SynthaSite is that it means that you don't *have* to learn a complicated programming language to make nice websites :).

Unfortunately, for security reasons, you won't be able to use PHP from SynthaSite

Hope that helps!

Hi Monica_unwell

YES! Just fill in their form, click "create", copy the code from the box below the create button. Then in SynthaSite drag and drop an HTML widget onto your page, paste the code and click ok. You're done! Save your page and preview it to test that your pop up box is working.

Cool link - thank you! Super easy to use. I like it!

rockim, if you have done everything correctly it should b verified almost immediately!! try once again, and try to be more careful this time while copy pasting. Even one character less or more can create problems :(
