RSS (Real Simple Syndication) is a way for other sites to carry our content. If you don't know what it means, it probably won't do much for you.

While I see two RSS Feed linls listed here, is there a way to access only specific forums (i.e. Blue Angel Upgrading or Blue Angel Accessories) with an RSS Feed Link?

Thanks in advance for your answer!

Why don't you add:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="XDA-Developers News" href="http://xda-developers.com/news.rss" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="XDA-Developers Last 30 Topics" href="http://xda-developers.com/forum-30.rss" />

to the HTML Head field? :)

I appreciate your response, however if I'm reading your code correctly this would give me the last 30 posts, regardless of forum. I'm only interested in posts in the BA forums (either BA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=23
or
BS Upgrading:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=24).
Any ideas on this? I'm currently beta testing NewsBreak and would like to include feeds specific to my device.

TIA!

TIA!I think the same. You must order the phpbb_topics table by the last message post (time/id) and pick the first 30 post_id 's... :) Smt like this will do afaik:
$sql = "SELECT *
FROM " . TOPICS_TABLE . "
ORDER BY `topic_last_post_id` DESC
LIMIT 0, 30";

Hi,
I agree: it should be very very usefull to have a different rss for each forum, in order to sync only that forums of your interest...

Any idea?

So, is there an rss feed for each forum yet? I don't need the feed for the whole xda phone world!

Yup, it's the same for me. I'm only interested in maybe three forums.

Any chance of getting individual feeds?

I am using SPB Insight as my news feed reader and have sucessfully subscribed to just the ones i need using varations on the following:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=312

All i did was change the number on the end to reflect the sub forum i wanted. 312 being the Trinity Upgrade Thread.

Is it be possible to be notified of all new posts, not just new threads ?

It would be nice if we could subscribe to specific threads as well :) It would be handy for the bigger topics (Kitchen threads etc).

Not seen any answer to the same point posted couple of posts above.
Is it possibile to subscribe and get updats also for new posts, not only new threads?
Thx

Yes is it posssible to subscribe to a particular thread? :confused:

Yes, please... me too... if I could subscribe to specific threads, it'd be absolutely great!

Alternatively, I guess I can just reroute all email notifications from subscribed threads into my rss reader.. although the result won't look nearly as clean as if an RSS feed could just be directly tied to a subscribed thread..

Thanks!

Thanx!!! it works!!!


some numbers for hermes Rss feeds : 305 -355 -306

some observation: the numbers are in order of creation of subtopics so there is a logic in it but no logic in it :D example: hermes WM6 thread opened much later than other hermes threads so its number is 355 the others are 305-306 are in order...

How do I see the newest post in each feed?
I seem to be able to get the first post in each feed, which is no good for me, considering some threads are 350+ posts long and I just want to read the last few posts in that thread.
Currently, I just keeping getting the first post over and over.

Hi folks,

I've added various forums (sub-forums?) to RSS Hub and it's working great apart from only showing me the 15 most recent new treads-can i increase this number?

I'm currently using URLs like this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=419

Thanks in advance!

For whatever reason, I'm not getting the subform listing to work with the RSS feed of Yahoo. Other RSS feeds work, including the RSS feed from the top-level (i.e., all new posts across all of XDA Developers).

I'm using the form of:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=419

Any ideas? Did this suddenly stop working?

I've seen how to only show posts from specific forums, but has any work been done on pulling individual threads for rss?

I also want this, just getting the new threads doesn't do much good.
