[thelist] Stab in the dark: broken Plone RSS syndication: FIXED

A while back I cried out about Plone CMS's borken RSS support. I found a
solution that I haven't found on any other list or part of the SEO'd
net, so I thought I'd close this topic.
To whom it may concern: Plone pretends to have very simple, on/off
syndication, that you can configure for the site as a whole, and then
for individual folders. However if you ever activate this, the generated
feed will display items in reverse order, from the oldest update onwards.
I thought I was going insane but this is down to a stupid mistake in
Plone's rss_template.pt. Open it up and change line 17 from:
objects python: objectList[:max]">
...to:
objects python: objectList[-max:]">
This will correct its method of getting items for the feed and will make
it display them from the top of the list (last to be added/changed)
downwards.
Hope this is relevant to somebody!
Regards,
Barney
