Yes, RSS rendering is now enabled and works, with previous glitches fixed.

See page Drupal_blogs for an example.

Categories

How do I add categories to pages?--Linda 21:36, 10 March 2006 (GMT)

Ok, you just add the tag at the bottom of a page for a category. No need to create the category first - copy the format from one which is there already.

Sidebar

Editing the sidebar in mediawiki is by MediaWiki:Sidebar

insert a line eg

    • drupal-url|Drupal

redirect

How to create a redirect (PHP)...

If you want to have your domain redirect to another page or folder on your domain you can create an index.php page and enter the following code...

<?php

  header ('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');

  header ('Location: /shop/');

?>

In this example if you put the index.php file in your root folder of www.domainname.com any visitors would be redirected to www.domainname.com/shop/
