Release Notes for October 18, 2011 Release
Merchant Facing Fixes
- Maturity bug fixes for Marketplace RSS feeds
Details: The following RSS feeds are available:
- http://marketplace.secondlife-staging.com/feeds/newest
- http://marketplace.secondlife-staging.com/feeds/free
- http://marketplace.secondlife-staging.com/feeds/popular
- http://marketplace.secondlife-staging.com/feeds/search
The easiest way to create a feed URL is to search on the Marketplace for what you would like to create a feed for. Copy the resulting URL and then replace "products" with "feeds". (This works with Items search only.)
Possible search parameters are:
- search[category_id] (this id can be obtained by clicking on a category and pulling out the value in the URL on the Marketplace web site)
- search[maturity_level] (options are: G, GM, GMA, A)
- search[keywords] (keyword to search for)
If the user who is pulling the RSS feed is not logged into the Marketplace, only G (General) products are available. Here is a sample URL: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/feeds/search?search[category_id]=222&search[maturity_level]=GM&search[keywords]=silk
