I am having an issue with the format of the RSS URL for each article. The URL protocol output says: site instead of http

#set ( $currentDate = $_DateTool.getDate() )
#set ( $callingPage = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($contentRoot, "/system-index-block/calling-page/system-page") )
#set ( $features = $_XPathTool.selectNodes($contentRoot, "/system-index-block/system-page[path != '/_internal/base assets/article']") )
$_SortTool.addSortCriterion("start-date", "", "number", "descending", "")

$_SortTool.sort($features)
#set ( $pageTitle = $_SerializerTool.serialize($callingPage.getChild("title"), true) )
#if (!$pageTitle)
    #set ( $pageTitle = "Volunteer State News" )
#end
#set ( $pageDescription = $callingPage.getChild("summary").text.replace("&", "&") )
#if (!$pageDescription)
    #set ( $pageDescription = "Current News for Volunteer State" )
#end
<rss version="2.0">
   <channel>
      <title>$pageTitle</title>
      <link>$callingPage.getChild("link").value</link>
      <description>$pageDescription</description>
      <language>en-us</language>
      <pubDate>$_DateTool.format('E, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z', $currentDate)</pubDate>
      <generator>Cascade Server</generator>
    #foreach ( $feature in $features )

        #set ( $dateNode = $feature.getChild("start-date").value )
        #set ( $startDate = $_DateTool.getDate($dateNode) )

        #set ( $url = $feature.getChild("link").value )
        #set ( $summary = $feature.getChild("summary") )
      <item>
         <title>$_SerializerTool.serialize($feature.getChild("title"), true)</title>
         <link>$url</link>
             <description>$_SerializerTool.serialize($summary, true)</description>
         <pubDate>$_DateTool.format('E, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z', $startDate)</pubDate>
         <guid>$url</guid>
      </item>
    #end
   </channel>
</rss>

Here is the output:

<rss version="2.0">

   OK. I made the following changes and got the link to work, but I am wondering if there is a better way of doing it:
   

   #set ( $currentDate = $_DateTool.getDate() )
   #set ( $callingPage = $_XPathTool.selectSingleNode($contentRoot, "/system-index-block/calling-page/system-page") )
   #set ( $features = $_XPathTool.selectNodes($contentRoot, "/system-index-block/system-page[path != '/_internal/base assets/article']") )
   #set ( $domain = "http://www.volstate.edu" )
   $_SortTool.addSortCriterion("start-date", "", "number", "descending", "")
   
   $_SortTool.sort($features)
   #set ( $pageTitle = $_SerializerTool.serialize($callingPage.getChild("title"), true) )
   #if (!$pageTitle)
       #set ( $pageTitle = "Volunteer State News" )
   #end
   #set ( $pageDescription = $callingPage.getChild("summary").text.replace("&", "&") )
   #if (!$pageDescription)
       #set ( $pageDescription = "Current News for Volunteer State" )
   #end
   <!--#START-CODE
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   #END-CODE-->
   <rss version="2.0">
      <channel>
         <title>$pageTitle</title>
         <link>$domain</link>
         <description>$pageDescription</description>
         <language>en-us</language>
         <pubDate>$_DateTool.format('E, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z', $currentDate)</pubDate>
         <generator>Cascade Server</generator>
       #foreach ( $feature in $features )
   
           #set ( $dateNode = $feature.getChild("start-date").value )
           #set ( $startDate = $_DateTool.getDate($dateNode) )
   
           #set ( $url = $feature.getChild("path").value )
           #set ( $summary = $feature.getChild("summary") )
         <item>
            <title>$_SerializerTool.serialize($feature.getChild("title"), true)</title>
            <link>${domain}${url}.php</link>
            <description>$_SerializerTool.serialize($summary, true)</description>
            <pubDate>$_DateTool.format('E, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss z', $startDate)</pubDate>
            <guid>${domain}${url}.php</guid>
         </item>
       #end
      </channel>
   </rss>

   Hi Jefferson,

   Currently, appending a static URL onto the front and extension onto the end is the way we typically use to accomplish this, because there is currently no means of finding the Site URL dynamically.

   One thing you may be able to try is to move the RSS Page to another Site and use the value of the link element. This would create a cross-site link, which should automatically add the Site URL and page extension to the link when published.

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks!
