Is it possible to output keyword album updates as Standard or Simple RSS feeds?

I think I have tried every combination and researched the forums

- No "add feed" links appear in "album actions" for keyword albums
- Tacking the g2_highlightId onto any rss string doesn't produce a result
- I can't see a renamed url path that would give the desired result

Thanks

Thanks supersidr!

Now I get it. Nearly there.

I am getting feed empty messages.
- I took out the <album> tags
- XML validators dont like the &amp in the link urls

Here's the top half. What do you think?

OK The problem is authentication. Neither gallery rss plugin nor slideshow xml.php seem to work with the login embedded in the URL. I tried this with Yahoo pipes. Any means of going all this with permanent/persistent session cookies?

you can set 'activeUserId' => in the init function in xml.php among other means.

OK it is working now! Great!

I have a unique user cloned from 'Guest' to spool the feed. Access is restricted by IP address thtough .htaccess

This'll work for a while :-)
