Hobo Cookbook

This is mostly the same as standard rails. Hobo does shorten the controller side if you don’t need any filtering.

In your controller, add an indexaction for your feed.

index_action :rss

Hobo index actions will paginate for html requests but by default do not for xml requests.

Then add the view file under /app/views/controller/rss.builder

xml.instruct! :xml, :version => "1.0"

xml.rss "version" => "2.0" do
 xml.channel do

   xml.title       "news"
   xml.link        url_for(:only_path => false, :controller => 'posts')
   xml.description "news items"

   @posts.each do |post|
     xml.item do
       xml.title       post.title
       xml.link        url_for(:only_path => false, :controller => 'posts', :action => 'show', :id => post.id)
       xml.description post.body
       xml.updated_at  post.updated_at
       xml.guid        url_for(:only_path => false, :controller => 'posts', :action => 'show', :id => post.id)
     end
   end

 end
end

The above is from a feed I created for a posts controller. Substitute your fields as needed.
