<pre wrap="">Hello Graham,
Have you considered putting your RSS link on .GroupHeader
or .GroupFooter pages to accomplish this for every page within each
group?
But if I'm understanding your problem, you would like to apply this
link sitewide to every newly created page as well as the preexisting
pages.
Maybe try this wikilink in a site wide footer or header.
[[{$Group}.RecentChanges?action=rss | RSS LINK]]
Here is a way to set up a site wide header.
I have not done this so am not sure if it is the best way to
accomplish this.

Hope this helps a bit.
Best,
Derek

<pre wrap="">Hi Hagan,
Thanks for this tip.
I should have mentioned we did try this route but found that the
feed to the browser does not offer us the same flexibility as the
feed direct to Thunderbird (e-mail). With the browser it is
difficult to set up the frequency of when to get the updates and
the browser feed
typically provides just the url of the page, the user then has to
click on it to view the page.
>From a work perspective my users are in two groups - those that
use the wiki to author data, and those that use the wiki to read/
respond to the data. For the first group - the RSS feed isn't an
issue, they are using the wiki all the time anyway and are the
cause of the updates! For the second group - they would only go to
the wiki when prompted (by an update) and do not use the web that
often. Instead these users are using Thunderbird for most of the
time for e-mail, so it's naturally intuitive for them to use the
RSS folders
within Thunderbird to manage the updates - as they look and feel
like e-mail. Also the benefit is the feed update frequency can be
set within Thunderbird some of the data in the projects are time
very time critical.
It is these second group of users I'm trying to address as they are
not that "web savvy" and I'm trying to make it easy as possible for
them to subscribe to the pages.
My first idea was to have an icon with the recent changes url+?
action=rss on every page - but I don't know how to go about doing
this - hence the question to the alias..... I had also thought
about creating a page with table that shows page name next to the
url , i.e if you want to have a feed for group.page X then copy url
Y into Thunderbird. This is not very elegant but might work until
the list gets quite long - and of course it suffers from the fact
that I have to monitor each new group.page as it's created and
update the table.
So at the moment I'm a bit stuck.. Perhaps there are other/better
ways of doing this too - I'm open to any further suggestions.
Best Regards
Graham

<pre wrap="">Hello, Firstly I'd like to say that my team have only been using
PmWiki for a few weeks but we already are finding it a great way
to collaborate and share our work - thank you for making this
available to us. We have various pages within our wiki that
contain "project status" information. This information changes
frequently. The RSS feed feature within PmWiki is great - it
allows the users - (who use Mozilla Thunderbird) - to receive the
updated pages within their Thunderbird client.
