How about RSS support?

Postby SimonWpt » Thu Dec 07, 2006 11:05 am

Hi,

could you implement a rss-feed for your forum?

Thank you!

This would only show the last x number of posts. Would it really be that useful? The forum software doesn't automatically generate RSS feeds, but it would be possible to use a script that pulled the last x number of posts from a designated forum, or the last x number of posts as a whole.

Wow I am dragging this post out from the archives....

I was looking for the same, mainly for the Announcements board (for WB) so that when and if any announcements come about, I am notified via my daily read RSS feed Reader.

Actually I thought phpBB had this facility already - might be an add-on but either way would be a handy add-on.

While I'd like to visit every day/week/month my eyes can only view so many sites per day/week/month :P

So anyway sorry to drag this request out again - but if something can be done for the announcement boards at least it would be good.

EDIT: Another option could be a subscription option to a specific board and we are notified by email of any new threads/posts in that board... might be a way to get around the RSS issue ... not that I thought there is one... :)

EDIT: Lots of options here - http://www.phpbb.com/mods/db/index.php? ... yndication

Cheers

Any idea which is the most simple and best for phpBB 3? Any experience anyone?

Not really sure but it might be worth asking the phpBB admins as they appear to have it working on their forums, so I guess they have it tested for compatibility :).

pretty incredible that phpbb doesn't have it out of the box. almost silly in 2009.

What if you just subscribe to the newsletter?

You might also try: http://www.masternewmedia.org/news/2006 ... _a_rss.htm

of course, Karlis could just use twitter like the rest of us and let us know that way. :) You can subscribe to someone's twitter feed via RSS (no need to be a user or visit the page) so it would serve the same purpose.
