How to exclude a Section from RSS output ?

[MozeBaltyk]

Hello Guys,

Does someone know, how to disactivate or exclude RSS indexing on a full Section (in my case ./content/docs) ?

Hugo doc talk about output formats generated for each page kind...

If someone can give a tips on this.

Regards,

I found this blog

but I suppose it means to create layouts/_default/rss.xml which would overcome the existing one ?

I am looking for a more parametrial way...

The solution that I found, if it can help someone :

Customize Your Hugo Blog RSS feed

• Some RSS config in .config/hugo.yaml

# Limit the number of articles in your RSS feed
services:
  RSS:
    limit: 10

# Change the default index.xml to feed.xml
outputFormats:
  RSS:
    mediatype: "application/rss"
    baseName: "feed"    

outputs:
  home:
    - HTML
    - Offline        # required by PWA module for displaying the offline pages.
    - RSS
    - SearchIndex    # required by search module.
    - WebAppManifest # required by PWA module to make your site installable.
  # default outputs for other kinds of pages (avoid produce RSS unecessarily).
  section: ['html']
  taxonomy: ['html']
  term: ['html']

To customize the XML of your RSS feed, you need to override the default template. For this, create a file named layouts/_default/rss.xml with the default Hugo rss.xml, then adapt.

For example in my case - display just type "page" (not the Categories, Authors, etc ) and only "posts" section, then I diplay the full content with my Github avatar as front image:

    {{- range where (where .Site.Pages ".Section" "posts") "Kind" "page" }}
    <item>
      <title>{{ .Title }}</title>
      <link>{{ .Permalink }}</link>
      <pubDate>{{ .PublishDate.Format "Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 -0700" | safeHTML }}</pubDate>
      {{- with $authorEmail }}<author>{{ . }}{{ with $authorName }} ({{ . }}){{ end }}</author>{{ end }}
      <guid>{{ .Permalink }}</guid>
      {{- $content := safeHTML (.Content | html) -}}
      <description>
        {{ "<" | html }}img src="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/35733045?v=4" alt="Featured image for {{ .Title }}" {{ "/>" | html}}
        {{ $content }}
      </description>
    </item>
    {{- end }}
