Creating an RSS feed from a Document Library?

Is this possible? I would like to create an RSS feed of recently uploaded/published documents but the feature in Sitefinity 5 only gives me blogs, lists, or forums.

Hi Brock,

 

did you got any feedback or help on that request?

I'm searching to do exactly the same...

Hi Michael,

In order to add documents to the feed, you need to go to Administration >> Settings >> Publishing >> Types, 

Create new with this name:
Telerik.Sitefinity.Libraries.Model.Document

And for assembly name you can enter again:
Telerik.Sitefinity.Libraries.Model.Document

This will include the documents titles in the feed. This is because only the title of the document item is indexed by the feed, not the binary data (actual text). This is why the Documents aren't included by default in the feeds content type. If you want the feed to index binary data, you will have to implement a custom pipe that does this. Information on how to do this you can find here:

Another approach is to create a new List Item (with rss feed) along with document publishing, where you could add more information about the published document.
