RSS feed tests

[Hacker]

rojer_31,
It's already possible, as described earlier in this thread.

I would like to have a feed that returns all FIRST unread posts of a subforum.

I mean, something like: www.ghisler.ch/board/rss.php?login&f=3, that returns all new posts from the English forum, but only returning the first unread post of every topic. I think that would be the best way for reading the forum through RSS.

EDIT: Now I see this RSS PHPBB mod is being discussed in this PHPBB.com topic, so I should ask there, shouldn't I?

Yes, please do! I will install any updates if there are any.

Yes, please do! I will install any updates if there are any.

Thanks for your interest, Mr. Ghisler.

I will make a post in that forum requesting the feature in relation to this topic (I think they will take this request more seriously if they see the forum manager is interested in the mod).

Hi Guys,

thx for all the fish....... errrrrr thx for all the RSS links here..

Just one question - using GreatNews and after I entered for instance http://www.ghisler.ch/board/rss.php?c=50&login&f=10 (Slovak Forum), it only downloaded last 25 Posts instead of 50.....

Is the address wrong somehow?

I have already made a little change: The topic titles are change from e.g.
Total Commander (English) :: Subject
to just
Eng :: Subject

So the forum titles don't take the entire space e.g. in Sage RSS reader. What do you think?

2ghisler:
Please do the same for the very long topic titles:
- TC7 beta bug reports (English) :: Subject
- TC7 beta discussion+suggestions (English) :: Subject

I suggest something like:
- TC7b bug report :: Subject
- TC7b discussion :: Subject

FYI

The limit for the number of posts that can be retrieved in one download (per RSS) has been raised from 100 to 500.
Now you can use a link like:

Code: Select all

http://www.ghisler.ch/board/rss.php?c=500

The default number of posts downloaded without the "c" parameter specified is currently 25.
Any suggestions for a change? 50? 75?

Well, I use 50 as my personal default... but 25 is OK for me.
If someone REALLY wants more ... it is very easy to change

I use googles RSS reader and I can't seam to use the login part, I tried without it and I can still get all post. Is that okay or do I miss something?

[ghisler(Author)]

Yes, you should be able to see all posts just fine when not logged in.

Is there any way you would consider adding RSS announcements to your main TC page?

Or at least moving announcements to their separate subforum here so we can RSS follow only that?

I pretty much use RSS to inform me about all my software updates, it would be nice if I could do it for TC too, I just don't need to follow all the board correspondence.

No RSS, but you can subscribe to the mailing-list which inform about software updates.

But mailing lists are so 20th century! I very much support the suggestion to add a software update feed. In fact, it's why I came to the forum today.
