Thanks for your hard work to all, i just wonder if there is a feed available for this forum?

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/type,rss/action,.xml

You can also add other parameters, such as:

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/type, ... ction,.xml
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/type, ... ction,.xml
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/type, ... ction,.xml

Additionally, you can limit it by board:

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board ... ction,.xml
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board ... ction,.xml

You can also increase the number of items given:

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/type, ... ction,.xml

If your feed reader does not like RSS 0.93, you can also use RDF (type set to rdf), Atom 0.3 (type set to atom), RSS 2.0 (rss2), and a proprietary format with more information (by not setting it at all.)

Thanks!

Some newsreaders have problems with the above, you can use this syntax also :

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?actio ... s&limit=20

Or you can use ; instead of & for those that have problems with that syntax.  I'm really not sure why newsreaders are so picky, but they are - for example, Google will only accept (from what I've seen) them if they end with .xml.

Thanks for the helpful posts [unknown] (although I know your real name)

Quite interesting for me.

I'm not sure myself, but I've run into far too many various problems with newsreaders - for example, some (like Google's personalized homepage) require it to end in .xml or similar.  Others don't always support & or other characters in URLs (even if that makes no sense.)

Most are tolerant, however.

Some OS X dashboard widgets using Apple's sample code from their developer website won't display anything using the /param,value syntax.

Any way to get an rss feed for a particular topic?

I've tried adding "/topic,##/" - but that doesn't seem to do the trick. 

I think I could subscribe to the topic and then set my email notifications to send every reply - but it appears that setting is "global" rather than on a per topic basis, and I don't necessarily want every reply to every subscribed topic coming to me via email.

Nevermind... I just checked simplemachines.org forums, and it appears that feature is not currently available

This link works perfect:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,8.0/type,rss/sa,recent/limit,20/action,.xml

But when I try to get the Dutch board with:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,13.0/type,rss/sa,recent/limit,20/action,.xml
it doesn't work. Why is that

It doesn't do child boards.  If you want child boards, you should use:

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?board ... ction=.xml

Unfortunately, currently SMF does not support the search engine friendly style properly with that list.  This is due to the commas, of course.... which is a limitation I mean to work on.

Edit:

Hi Unknown,

This workes just fine! Thanks 

For your delectation and delight, the topic rss feed scraper I made for the OSM Names list:
*snip* http://cmeister2.uwcs.co.uk/scraper2.txt *snip*

The proxy_url bit in the middle is because i'm on an intranet

I modified the forum template on a SMF I run to include an RSS link on all forums.

Check out http://www.kampforum.com/forum/

As you can see all boards and childboards have the RSS link on top

I'd like a feed that showed all new posts in all forums except the International ones. I kinda stoopid, I don't speak any other languages...

Can anyone provide me with a link to generate such a feed? The are a LOT of forums here. Thanks!

torkil, great job. Please post how you did it when you get a sec...

THis does not work I get only the list of posts from " Joomla Sites - Feedback/Information"

bluesaze wrote:THis does not work I get only the list of posts from " Joomla Sites - Feedback/Information"

You are correct. Any idea how to get this working correctly?

How about for our own integrated forums?

I would like to offer my users a live feed, but I want it to take them to the wrapped forum, not the standalone.

I have the cms installed in my web root, smf in a subfolder, with SEF on, but I should be able to link with our without sef, right?
Tried these, without result:
http://www.domain.com/component/option, ... ction,.xml
http://www.domain.com/component/option, ... ction,.xml
http://www.domain.com/index.php?option= ... ction=.xml

You used "board" not "boards".  If you wish to list multiple boards, use boards not board.

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board ... ction,.xml

I'm not sure if the integration plays nice with feeds.

HeY thats cool Unknow Now it working

Maybe it's an idea to put the default feed links on the forum frontpage so more people will benefit from this? It's not that obvious to look over here when you're looking for the feeds.

I just noticed the RSS icon in Firefox! Good going

Edit: It would even be more usefull to increase the amount of shown items. Five is just a bit small because this forum goes very, very fast!

I cannot get it to work with Indic Forums....

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board ... ction,.xml

It says

An invalid character was found inside an entity reference. Error processing resource 'http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/boa...

How can I make rss feed that has unicode characters in it?

I have confirmed that the following RSS feed is genuine as it works in Google Personalised web pages....

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board ... ction,.xml

So, I guess, my question is answered... The feed is ok....
I still need help on how to get this to show up in SMF, but that is not for this thread.

This was exactly what I had been looking for.

When I read the rss feed I only get  the first line of the post. Is is possible to have it the whole instead?
