Public list RSS works, but Private list doesn't?
Good morning, I'm writing about RSS for private "My Lists" in the patron OPAC account. In my system, which is Koha 20.11, I've noticed that I can subscribe to RSS for Public lists, and I get immediate results in my email (I'm subscribing via Microsoft Outlook). However, subscribing to Private lists that I've created in my account do not ever deliver results to my email. The XML file looks fine and in fact, and it appears that the same OPAC template and script are used to generate both the Public and Private list's RSS. Instead, it looks like there is something about the fact that one list is Public and one is Private that is preventing my feed reader from getting results. Could this be? Or maybe it is just my system? Thanks for any tips you might have. Tasha Bales

I think you've found a bug. It shouldn't be possible to subscribe to a private list because you must be logged in to the OPAC to be able to access them. We don't have any mechanism for providing a private RSS feed. The first step towards fixing it will probably be to hide the RSS button when looking at a private list. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries (740) 737-6006 https://www.myacpl.org
Bummer, as I could really use that feature. However, I'm glad to know it appears to be a bug, so that I can hide the button and avoid unhappy users! Thank you.
