RSS feed for each forum

Hans · Post by **Hans** » 01 Jan 2008, 22:06

Hi,

Apart from the 'default' RSS feed which gives you all topics on the complete Message Board, as of today you can also subscribe to a feed for a specific forum.
For this you need the forum-ID; just go to the forum you want the RSS-feed from; in your address bar you will now see something like http://www.scramble.nl/forum/viewforum.php?f=14 (this being the Amsterdam-Schiphol forum). Here "14" is the forum-ID. Now put this forum-ID behind the RSS-link in the same manner, for example http://www.scramble.nl/forum/rss.php?f=14 for the RSS feed of just the Amsterdam-Schiphol forum.

Any feedback is welcome!

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Hans

Hi,

Until now I didn't receive any response. But nevertheless I would like some feedback on whether the option to subscribe to only a particular forum is wanted, because otherwise I will not put any effort in getting the same functionality when we upgrade to the next version of the Message Board software in the near future.

Regards,

Hans

Hi Hans
Good job!

Can I also do http://www.scramble.nl/forum/viewforum. ... 4,11,34,88" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to combine a list of wanted RSS feeds?
And do you have a list of forum with it's id?

Nope, you need to subscribe to each forum separately.

No, and I will not make one either, as I want to stay flexible with creating and deleting forums without constantly thinking of updating that list too. Just follow the example in my first post, and you will be fine

Hi Hans,

Must say I missed your initial announcement.

The feature is highly appreciated, but I have yet to install this on my computers. Install starts right away...

Hans,

Added the forums i wanted to my reader.

EDIT: request from a non-poster if the airfield in 'spotting NL - BE' and 'spotting europe' can be arranged in alphabetical order.

I know i asked this already, but it seems i'm not the only one with this req....

Thanks, Chris.

Although I fail to see what this has to do with the RSS feed

, the answer is "no". The software has not this feature by default, I'm not aware of any modification to achieve this and especially with the new version coming up shortly I'm not going to dig into this either - especially not for a "non poster".... sorry.

Hi,

Better news; the new version does support this feature by default, although you have to be registered and logged in to make use of it (it is a setting in your profile).

Regards,

Hans

.

Don't know if this is an addition, but just discovered that it's also possible to put the seperate forum-parts in your RSS feeder...

So "Aviation in general" is now in my RSS reader as http://www.scramble.nl/forum/rss.php?c=10" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .

Bye, Chris.

You can put it in there, but it won't work.
Just tried, and it just showed also posting from the Schiphol forum, which is not exactly in that particularly category
