Found a great little DotNetNuke module today. The GX-Page Feed module from GXDO.com is a great little module. The concept is simple. It simply looks anywhere on the page for a series of tags and associated child tags. It then uses these to generate RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom and XML feeds of the hidden data.
I found that by including the approrpriate feed tags in Xmod List View templates we could generate appropriate RSS feeds of our Xmod data. Now couple that with the power of Xmod Remote Data module and you can generate RSS feeds from any supported data platforms.
This seems to signal a recent trend in creating modules that can work with other modules. LucasLabs.Net have made the Xmod Remote Data module allow an integration option with the PowerReports Professional module while leveraging the templating engine for the Xmod module. GX-Page Feed can allow for RSS feeds from Text/HTML, PowerReports Professional, Xmod and other DNN modules.
Interesting concepts and ideas. Motiviated individuals are creating some unique ways to utilizing this type of interaction to increase the power of DNN.
