Can't increase the max item count of rss feed

[Rubin Velcani]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to increase the max item count of the rss feed of a category to 200 (it is now 50 by default i believe).
I searched around and came to the conclusion that i need to edit the config.json file inside of the project.
The problem is that I have botched the setup on this specific machine, and the change is urgent and can't wait for me to go on a machine where the project is working.
Got suggested that the config.json may be inside the database, so i connected directly to the database through MongoDB Compass, found the config object, added "rss:max-items-count": 200 at the bottom, restarted and rebuild my nodebb project successfully. But the rss feed of the categories still shows 50 items max.

What am I doing wrong? And is there a better way to increase the rss feed item count? (i am not using any plugins because the installation through the admin panel fails on every single one of them)
Thank you in advance

https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/routes/feeds.js#L130 change that value to 199 and restart nodebb, then that feed should show 200 items.

Can you post the url of the rss feed that you are trying to modify? You will probably have to modify the source code.

Hi Baris,
The rss feed I need to expand: https://vial.community/category/2.rss?uid=17&token=359f80db-c545-4b38-9e22-8a1bb863ad14
Just to make sure i am clear, I am trying to increase the max amount of items that can show on a rss feed of all categories

Did that and the feed shows 200 items! Thank you for the quick response Baris, saved me lots of brain cells from the stress!
