Hi,
Just a quick question. Is it possible to enable RSS feeds for several of the higher traffic forums here?
Thanks
Hey Bass –
That's a built-in feature in SMF, so the RSS feeds are being created but I haven't enabled links. Because I'm running SMF under Mambo there are some complications, because Mambo declares its feed in the header.
Let me take a look at it and see what I can do – maybe put a RSS link button somewhere on each board?
What do you think – should I use the feed:// or http:// protocol? A lot of browsers still don't recognize feed://…
OK, I put a RSS feed button next to each board header on the main forum index. That will show up to 25 posts since your last login. I think. Play around with it and let me know if it does what you want.
Hey Lingster,
Wow, that was quick 😎 . My RSS feeder isn't loving the type of link its giving. I think it needs a direct link to a xml files (I'm no expert on RSS). I'm using Firefox with Sage right now. If any other RSS readers can work with it then I'll just change.
Thanks
Hm. Post a link to a feed it does like, let me check it.
OK, it looks like it works in RSS enabled browsers like Safari. Other applications seemed to be confused by the XML information in the Amaz0ns template header. So I have to look into that.
I don't really know when I became so ignorant, but what is an RSS Feed? Is it described elsewhere on this site? If it's about me (as in Really Stupid Sonofa…) don't tell me because I don't want to know.
Here's a feed it does like: http://leovilletownsquare.com/fusionbb/rss/fid15.xml
It also likes the feed for your blog on the main page. I think its only going to work if given a direct link to the xml file. Thanks for the effort you're putting in, I really appreciate it.
@ TheGov
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Basically if someone has a blog you like going to, or in this case forum, and if they provide a RSS feed, you can subscribe to it and everytime its updated your browser or RSS reader of choice will alert you and give you a preview of the post made. Hope that helps. Wikipedia has a good page on it LINK
Glad you added the RSS feeds…but wow, that is a bright and shiny link button. I like the subdued colors + layout of the site, and the largish orange buttons are a bit out of place. But maybe you're just making them so prominent until everyone sees that RSS is available now.
