How to disable RSS feeds

Hi,

in our site we have used RSS feeds for news and blogs document type. Any update made for a news or blog generates a new RSS feed. I want to disable the RSS feeds for some time till I test the workflow on my site.. How can I do it?

The rss feed pages are implmented as follows.

<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>All News RSS</title>
<link><![CDATA[<%=HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Remove(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Length - HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.PathAndQuery.Length) + HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath%>]]></link>
<description>All News RSS Feed</description>

<cms:cmsrepeater ID="NewsRepeater" runat="server" OrderBy="NewsReleaseDate DESC" ClassNames="cms.news"
TransformationName="cms.news.rssitem" SelectedItemTransformationName="cms.news.rssitem"
Path="/news/%" WhereCondition="NewsReleaseDate < GetDate()" SelectTopN="20"></cms:cmsrepeater>
</channel>
</rss>

This will remove the web part from live site and make the RSS link inaccessible. I would suggest creating a development instance of Kentico CMS for this kind of testing, to avoid similar issues in the future. Regards, Josef Dvorak

RE:How to disable RSS feeds

Hello,

Yes, I meant the repeater property, but of course if you can remove the entire page for a while, it would be even better.

Previously I mentioned the RSS URL will be disabled by setting the visible property, but this is only true if you were using the RSS web part. Setting the Visible property for repeater will only hide the list of news, not the page itself.

Regards,
Josef Dvorak.
