| | 4 | Several of the Trac modules support content syndication using the RSS (Really Simple Syndication) XML format. |
| | 5 | Using the RSS subscription feature in Trac, you can easily monitor progress of the project, a set of issues or even changes to a single file. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | Trac supports RSS feeds in: |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | * TracTimeline — Use the RSS feed to '''subscribe to project events'''.[[br]]Monitor overall project progress in your favorite RSS reader. |
| | 10 | * TracTickets, TracReports, and TracQuery — Allows syndication of report and ticket query results.[[br]]Be notified about important and relevant issue tickets. |
| | 11 | * TracBrowser and TracRevisionLog — Syndication of file changes.[[br]]Stay up to date with changes to a specific file or directory. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | == How to access RSS data == |
| | 14 | Anywhere in Trac where RSS is available, you should find a small orange '''XML''' icon, typically placed at the bottom of the page. Clicking the icon will access the RSS feed for that specific resource. |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | '''Note:''' Different modules provide different data in their RSS feeds. Usually, the syndicated information corresponds to the current view. For example, if you click the RSS link on a report page, the feed will be based on that report. It might be explained by thinking of the RSS feeds as an ''alternate view of the data currently displayed''. |
