Hey, is it possible to get RSS feeds for the forums? I think there is a phpBB feature for that. I think it'll be very useful for all of us.
Thanks!

RSS Forum Feeds?
- Thread starter ingenious
- Start date
WiKi's RSS is using "Dublin Core" extension (http://purl.org/rss/1.0), so you need a RSS Reader with such support.ingenious said:x-X-x said:
Just tried it - doesn't work
I'm using Opera 8.1 and it works well for such RSS and as a bonus it works well with ATOM feeds, unfortunately there is a bug in Opera when dealing with ATOM feeds. It doesn't show the actual posted dates. But I think it is fixed already in the latest opera...
I'm using rss from several phpBB based boards so it's possible, though I don't know how. But someone has to put a little time in it.
So pls pls pls...pls

Does WiKi's RSS work for you? (URL for subscription: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RecentChanges&format=rss)oltp said:
Not sure :-( it says 0/0. At the moment I'm using Skookum v2.0.0.0, which can keep me up-to-date with podcasts as well. It's still under development & it's free. Can't remember wether it worked with HappyJackRoad PoketRss, my trial has expired & I wasn't completely pleased with it so unmilling to pay for it.
If one of you know a great PocketRss reader I'm pleased to hear. In the meantime I'm going to pm Peter Poelman to ask for the implementation of rss feeds on the board, maybe it works.

zscreen scrape
in the mean time, someone could do a screen scrape every hour or so on the latest news on the home page.
how do xda dev people feel about that though.
it's not something that's looked on favourably by most people.

Well scrape could be better than nothing. But for the moment I'm going to wait for Peter's answer.

wiki rss
Switched from Skookum to Newsbreak (trial) via A6.times (didn't work) & Newsbreak does pick-up the wiki rss messages
No answer from Peter till now.

yeah, having it for the wiki is neat, but I want it for the forums. I tried /external.php, which is what most of these forums use, it doesn't exist.
The reference /rss.php isn't working either.
Peter Poelman has received my question from the May 27th this week, no answer yet. Guess he's not to interested in it. Too bad I think it's really convenient to view the forum with rss. I use it for other fora too.

@ MDANavymom: Maybe I'll give it another try to see where I went wrong in a few weeks or so. First I go on holiday for three weeks.
Pity Peter didn't respond to my PM, maybe he gets thousands of them a day, I don't know ...
@ JonTheNiceGuy: no PM, but if you're capable of getting us the rss, I would certainly be very pleased.

Guys, can you give this a go. I probably need to tweak the format etc.

V,
It shows nicely all the topics the hyperlinks are working, all I'm lacking is the body of the post itself. But for a scrape it's a very good start to maybe having it all
Great job again V, really appreciate it.
