Any chance of enabling RSS for the bulletin board?

I've been trying to aggregate all my obsessions into one handy-dandy location. I found this, but I haven't actually tried it or anything: http://corp.feedster.com/blog/archives/ ... pport.html

You mean like http://forum.austinimprov.com/rss.php? The big problem with the phpBB2 RSS plugin is that there's not a good way (AFAICT) to publish the RSS link on the phpBB2 front page without manually mangling the code. Rrrr.

Hm. I'll have to check for that RSS plugin.

Here's another RSS mod for phpBB, one that looks like it's been worked on within the last two years or so (and supports RSS 2.0 and Atom):

http://naklon.info/rss/about.htm

And if you edit your templates/subSilver/overall_header.tpl file, you can add a line to enable RSS autodetection:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html dir="{S_CONTENT_DIRECTION}">
<head>
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="/forums/rss.php" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={S_CONTENT_ENCODING}">

Adding the line in bold, and replacing "/forums/rss.php" with the URL to your rss.php file.

You can see it in action at http://www.comedyworx.com/forums/

Thanks! The situation is much better, though I couldn't get both the Atom and the RSS feeds to show simultaneously. I wonder if there's some issue with having multiple

Code: Select all

<link rel="alternate" ... />

elements in the header. Though they seem to work fine in s9y.

Regardless, I hacked at ./includes/page_header.php to add autodetection links to the header no matter which template you're using.

Hopefully this works better than the other RSS mod.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I can see how someone might miss the relevance of the URL of the RSS feed for the bulletin board (http://forum.austinimprov.com/rss.php) to the question:

Actually, I'm lying. Or sarcastic. But enjoy using our guest account anyway.
