Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere, I had a quick search. I've got static javascript exporting nicely, but need either a second export template for the static file generation for a different look, or I use a rss feed parser to create javascript with the look I want, but I can't find a way to get a category specific list of links with rss. Am I overlooking something already available?

I swear I tried it, several different ways, but rssfeed.php?&thecondition=catid=1 works now. Thanks. BTW, in case anyone is in need of alternate feed outputs, I'm using Magpie with Infinite Penguin RSS Viewer to parse several rss feeds (from mine and other sites) to javascript or ssi, highly customizable output.

Since I seem to have not mentioned it and since it's in the title of the thread and likely to attract others wondering aobut it, note that you can use multiple javascript export templates by specifying the template in the url (as of about 3.12 or so), that's covered in the javascript export manual entry.

I did see that, but was concerned with server load, I'm using these on high traffic forum pages (related links), averaging 5000 views per day. Magpie caches the feed data for a configurable length of time, which is a step nearer to static files, and I thought that would be better for my usage.
