RSS Feed!

**Toobs** · 26-07-2005, 03:16 PM

I noticed that vb is supposed to support RSS feed... something which I think is f'cking cool!
Unfortunately it doesn't look like anyone has turned on the feeds yet:

Error parsing RSS XML: Not a valid xml document: The root element is missing.
Please try to validate this feed. If this feed validates as correct RSS, you can send an error report.

Can someone turn on the feeds so we can test???

The administrator may have enabled RSS syndication, this allows you to view newly created threads in guest viewable forums without visiting the board.

The feeds are currently provided in two formats, RSS and RSS v2. The differences are as follows:
RSS 0.91 - This feed is based on a standard written by netscape and provides a link and the title of the thread.
http://toymods.net/forums/external.php?type=rss
RSS 2.0 - This feed contains title, author, date and the contents of the first post of the thread.
http://toymods.net/forums/external.php?type=rss2

To add this to MyYahoo click here.

The forums to which this applies can also be limited to specific guest viewable forums by adding another paramater to the URL containing the forumids as follows:
http://toymods.net/forums/external.p...2&forumids=123

If you would like the content to be generated for multiple forums you can seperate the forumids by commas.

The problem with the RSS feed is it authenticates as a guest meaning only posts from sections viewable by guests will be sent on RSS. It also only sends the latest 15 threads.

At the moment guest can't see much at all on the forum but we'll look into it further.
