RSS feed for forum posts

Post by Laisvunas »

Hi,

These are active and interesting forums, but to read new posts you should at first visit the website and open forum page.

Forums would be much more usable if there would be a RSS feed for forum posts; then you could subscribe to RSS feed and read forum posts through some RSS reader, such as Bloglines.

Does PHPbb support RSS? I can not see such feature in admin panel.

Not keen to install any addons... :?

There are many solutions for enabling RSS on www. phpbb.com website.

Perpaps the most actively discussed solution is Full syndication suite which is in 0.97 version now.

It is strange that phpBB does not support RSS out of the box. If it is important not to rely on add-ons, why not to use some more advanced forum software, such as from SimpleMachines ?

Busy with development, no time to improve forum :(

Will try something in the future, if time permits...

Will wait impatiently.

Subscribable forums are really essential for any online community.

Rather than an add-on to the forum, it could be a simple .php script. Will investigate (I should have it on my test phpBB setup still) and forward the details to Karlis.
