Great component, even with dynamic RSS showed in the browser, closes a missing feature of docman. Thanks.
I searched for such a component a very long time! The dynamic feed feature is the BEST I have ever seen before! It is realised with a Joomla system plugin which is installed with the component. The feed is published in the head - just like you know it from the original Joomla feed.
If you don't like the dynamic feed you can switch it off and configure as many feeds as you want manually. After you have created a so called 'manual' feed you get a link to this feed - so you can implement it everywhere you want to.
Great component, thanks again!

I'd been looking for a RSS solution for DocMan for ages and was really pleased to find this. However, I couldn't get this to work with J!1.5 at all - it wouldn't list any of my DocMan categories. I did a bit of digging and needed to change the file docmanrss.class.php to match the SQL query that DocMan uses. It now reads at line 232:
function categoryArray()
{
global $database;
$query = "SELECT c.*, c.parent_id AS parent"
. "\n FROM #__categories AS c"
. "\n WHERE c.section='com_docman'"
. "\n AND c.published != -2"
. "\n ORDER BY parent_id,ordering" ;
All works very well now and I'm happy. Thanks!
