How to override the generation of RSS feeds in DSpace?

This is somewhat related to my other question. I was asked to modify the results of the RSS feeds such that the list will be the same as when you view the /browse?type=dateissued in descending order. I can't find where the resulting list of the RSS feeds are generated. Or is this even doable?

I am using DSpace version 5.3 Mirage 2 Theme.

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • There is recent.submissions.sort-option in dspace.cfg which claims to work for feeds as well:

    # the sort option name (from webui.itemlist.sort-option above) to use for
# displaying recent submissions.  (this
# is used by the Recent Submissions system and any other time based
# browse query such as FeedServlet)
recent.submissions.sort-option = dateaccessioned

    Looks like that's used in XMLUI as well, so you may be able to achieve what you describe by setting this option to dateissued.
