RSS FEEDS

Submitted by omniscient_colossus on Fri, 2005-11-18 19:34

I would love to have RSS feeds from STD.o! This would be a great way to see whats haappening on this site from anywhere else on the net.

the mod for PHPBB is HERE

I use this on my LinAV forum as you can see by clicking on the RSS FEEDS link.

The rss feed also make having a custom dynamic hompage a snap. See the LinAV portal page Here I combine RSS from the forum, sourceforge and the wiki!

WHOOPS!! The mod I use is Topics Anywhere (which also does RSS feed and other stuff) available HERE.
I had to manualy add a link to the overall_header.tpl for the rss.php (inside the forum root folder)

A site creates RSS feeds to some of it's content, and then other sites can be set up to display the feeds (like the SN home page's news feeds). I think Firefox can be set up to receive RSS feeds directly too...

Firefox has "Live Bookmarks" which are essentially links to the RSS feed that then expand to the internal links the feed itself supplies (which lead to the new content). There's a plugin for this BBS software to generate a feed.

The document returned when you go to the feed is a (usually) XML document that lists the new content and provides a link to each new item. Unfortunately there are at least a half-dozen different standards of RSS and there's also Atom (single standard of that!), so a feed reader has to be a polymath to understand them all.
