Phoca Download Syndication

I'm not a professional web developer and am new to RSS so please forgive if this is an obvious question. I am using phoca download with Joomla 1.5 to post mp3s for public download. Everything is working beautifully. My question is, can I set up an RSS feed to alert subscribers when new mp3s are posted?

I tried using a Joomla module, but it only syndicates articles and did not recognize updates to my downloads. I also tried writing an RSS file manually, but could not validate the file due to the web address generated by Joomla/phoca for my download page (http://www.demonsbeware.com/index.php?o ... s&Itemid=3). The RSS validator says this is an "invalid token". Any help would be appreciated! :idea:

Hi, for now there is not RSS function in Phoca Download :-( so it cannot be directly used. If there is some other extensions which can make RSS work for Phoca Download, I don't know :-(

Is this something that may be implemented in the future. I really like phocadownload, but the only problem I have is the lack of RSS.

I have tried for the past two days to try and figure out how I can take the data directly from the database into an RSS feed but it is way beyond me. foobla RSS does have an extension for it, but €60 is a little steep for my liking.

Hi, I think codejunkie has some solution for RSS, but the creation will take some time :( :(

it would be fantastic if it had RSS on it. Phoca download is the best download system I have seen. The others seem to complicated, where Phoca Download is so straight forward.
