How to create an RSS feed for your site for Dzen and feed readers

← Back

Create an /rss section with the rss module and the access "No one. Can navigate to it.", then mark the source sections on its page — their objects will become the feed's news items.

  1. Create a section with the address rss (without .xml) and the rss module. Set the access to "No one. Can navigate to it.".
  2. Open the section page as an administrator.
  3. In the "Where to get news from" block, mark the sections whose objects will go into the feed.
  4. Fill in "Feed title" and "Description — one sentence". Set "How many news items" and "Only from the last, days" (0 — no limit).
  5. For Dzen, leave "Full news text in the feed (required by Dzen; without it — teaser only)" enabled. Click "Save".
  6. Click "Open feed" — you will see exactly what Dzen will receive. Copy the "Feed address".

Each object of the selected section is one news item: title, image, description and a link to the object's page. The newest come first. To publish a news item, add an object to the source section. You can also do this from the "Posting and Mailing" module, the "News on the site" item.

Connecting to Dzen: dzen.ru → Studio → Channel settings → "RSS import". Paste the feed address and confirm your rights to the domain. The same address is accepted by feed readers (Feedly, Inoreader) and aggregators.

There is only one feed per site. A second section with the rss module will show the same settings.

If it didn't work

  • "The feed is empty". No sections with objects are selected, or all objects are older than the specified period.
  • The section is marked "closed". Its objects will not appear in the feed until it has the access "Everyone" or "No one. Can navigate to it.".
  • Dzen does not pick up the news. It needs images of at least 480×320 and the full text, and it does not accept news older than 7 days. An address like /rss.xml will not work — only without the extension.
