I have a quick CMSBuilder question. Can I do this with CMSB and what's the best way to do it? Create an articles database with title, headline, category and content. Then create RSS feeds from the article database based on a certain topic (category) or keywords in the content.
Then I could use these RSS feeds on another site, so the information on the second site would change depending on the articles I have entered into the article database.
Thanks for all your help.

Hi pchell,
Yes you can. There's step by step instructions on creating an RSS feed here:
http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/rss_feeds.html
And you could filter it by adding search terms like this:
myfeed.xml.php?category=sports
Or by creating a new file sports.xml.php with this line:
'where' => " category = 'sports' ",
And yes, the RSS feeds would be dynamic, so any secondary sites that used them would be updated when they were updated.
Hope that helps! Let me know any other questions you have.
