Question

I have been using the RSS feeds from TWiki for a couple of weeks now (I'm running the most recent release--4.0.1). Unfortunately, the RSS feed that I get in NetNewsWire does not indicate when a revision to a specific topic occurs. I only get a new-item notification when a new topic is created. How can I setup TWiki to alert me each time a new topic is created AND each time a topic is edited?

Thank you!

Is the NetNewsWire feed of the WebRss?

It seems like your news reader remembers the URL of a topic and excludes the URL if it comes up again (whenever it changes.)

Try this: Each WebRss has two %SEARCHes. Change the topic URL so that it is different for each revision. In the format="", one SEARCH has a rdf:li tag with a URL, the other one has a item tag with a URL.

For both URL, change:
%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/$web/$topic

To:
%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/$web/$topic?t=$rev

And if you want a new item for every edit, even edits that are merged into the same revision, use $isodate.
