RSS feed for forum?

Garrett · Post by **Garrett** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 11:42 pm

Add support for getting the latest posts on the forum via RSS feed. It is
possible to add RSS support to the forum. But I'm not sure you all are
willing to install one of the phpbb mods needed to add this support. An
example of it in use can be seen here: http://www.vdsworld.com/forum/index.php

Here's a couple of links to PHPbb mods that add Feed support.

* http://www.phpbbhacks.com/category/23

Also, do you have the forum setup for security signup only? Where the
user needs to view the graphic and input the password in the graphic in
order to be allowed to post? If not, check into that as it will eliminate the
spam we are getting in here on a regular basis.

Thanks,
-Garrett

Hi Garrett,

This is indeed on our list - rss support. Once we get revdeveloper.com all squared away we should be able to move on this.

No. I don't expect RSS support to be added to this forum.

If you happen to speak German and want a forum about Revolution that supports RSS, have a look at http://www.revolutionboard.de/smf/index.php

Well this got set up on the japanese forum: forums.runrev.com/jp. So I assume somebody must have figured out how to do it.

There should now be an RSS feed attached to this forum. Essentially there was an issue with the closed nature of the forums, but now that they have been opened up it makes RSS much simpler. The link is:

http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/rss.php

Please let me know if you have any problems accessing it, or integrating it with your reader.

Kind regards,

Wow, Thanks !

This allows myself to check in by the dashboard. By the way I wrote this for my personal use, but spent the extra 20 minutes to share it (made it look nice), since I went to the touble of writing the Java Script before having my morning coffee. I made a little barebones dashboard widget, to keep track of the latest forum posts. Nothing special, just read, click on text to open topic web page, like I said barebones.

I added a backend page to our site. if any other mac OSX 10.4.3 or later users are interested. Link to forum widget

thanks, again.

Very nice, Obleo. Thanks. Not that I use Dashboard, but your widget is a great little toy.

Best,

Mark

I never used RSS before, and I don't have Mac OS 10.4. So of course I had to make a RSS aggregator stack in runrev!
Bonus: I finally learned how to use the dreaded XML library of runrev.

there's no documentation, use at your own risk.

Nice stack B!

Now add some shiny UI and keep it rolling.

All the best,

And many thanks to the RunRev people who finally added the RSS feed to the forums.

How about bringing back the RSS feed? It was the only useful feature of this board.

OK - The RSS feed is back, but it's *much* less useful than the old version. Having the forum topic displayed before the thread title sounds good in theory, but there isn't enough room in the RSS pane to display all that information. What you end up with instead is a series of entries like
