Can this be used as a news system for my own site? i.e. using the feeds on my site's front page to import topic titles from my own forums? (current news system only lets you import topic titles from one specific forum)

[Michael]

Not sure I follow, this will simply create individual feeds for every selected forum, not one feed for a bunch of forums, so maybe it's not what you're looking for?

[Michael Aivaliotis]

I'm looking for a mod that works like the existing IPB RSS except: It feeds all the replies to the topics, not just the first topic. Basically like this one:
http://mods.invisionize.com/db/index.php/f/5773

Does this mod support this?
Or if not, can you add this feature?

[Michael]

It creates 'topic feeds' which are individual feeds for each topic in the selected forum(s), with each post being a new item in that particular feed.  So one could use it to create a feed based on this topic, and the contents of that feed would be each of the individual posts in the topic.  So yes, I think that is what you are looking for.

It doesn't appear that way by default, but the skin can easily be edited to allow that.

Since you chose to ignore the guidelines you agreed to when you joined, I don't feel an overwhelming urge to open that ticket.

does IPB already have the functions of this mod in 2,34?

[Michael]

I haven't upgraded to 2.3.4 yet, but it wasn't in 2.3.3, so I kinda doubt they added this in 2.3.4, it's a pretty big change.

Hi Michael,

How does it work with hidden forums?
I'd like to provide information to a some people through RSS which are not members of my forum. Would this be possible and would there any opportunity to control if someone access to the stream without getting the permission?

[Michael]

Unfortunately, no, it's not possible, and this was one of the things I explained to the customer who requested this mod.  An RSS reader would have no way of checking IPB permission in order to display the results.  So if someone managed to craft the URL to the RSS feed of a hidden forum or topic, an RSS reader would display it.  So this mod will only effectively work if you have no forum content you wish to hide from your members.

[Tom]

Ah ok, thx for the explanation Michael.

[paris]

does it display the image after the forum titles or topics?

[Michael]

It displays the feed next to the forum and topic titles.
