thanx for that bud,

[Delita]

I didnt the see this RSS in the last link the guy put.

No SS or something too see how is this?

[Michael]

The mod adds an RSS icon beside each forum title that you set to allow one, do you really need a screenshot of that?

Hi Michael

I can't get this mod to show more than one item despite the settings of "Forum Feed number of items"
Any idé as to why?

Link to my site (in swedish) http://www.jaktsnack...php?showforum=4

That's odd, let me look into the issue.

EDIT: OK, found the problem, sending you a new sources/components_public/feeds.php file.

Interesting modification. Going to buy later today

You're welcome

Just two questions before I decide to buy.

Will this be available for 3.0 and also will I be able to use an outside feed to go directly into one thread rather than per topic per forum?

[Michael]

I do plan on updating this for 3.0 right now, but I have yet to actually look at how feasible that will be.  This one only needed a couple of skin edits, and no file edits, so in theory I should be able to accomplish a 3.0 version similarly, or perhaps even without any edits by using the hooks system.  As I have not attempted to upgrade this yet I cannot say for sure, but it is my plan right now to upgrade this one.

I'm not sure what you mean by the second question, can you give me an example of what you mean?

[Destiny67]

For example let's say I have a thread on my site called Ghost Stories in a Supernatural forum section. I would like to use an outside feed say from a ghost website to go into my Ghost Stories thread daily.. I don't want it to start a new thread each time. It would have to reply as it were to my thread allocated. Is that possible with this mod?

[Michael]

I suppose it would depend on how that outside feed behaves.  What this mod is going to do in your case is it's going to make an RSS feed for that Ghost Stories topic with a distinct URL.  That feed will show each post in the topic.  It'll act just like a regular RSS feed, like what we have here on this site, but instead of the standard IP.Board RSS feed where each entry is its own topic, each entry will be for an individual post in that topic.

On this outside site, how does it act with other types of feeds?  Is it like IP.Board's RSS import where a new topic is created for each entry, like the BBC news feed we have here?  If that's the case, then it's going to do the same thing with a topic feed from this mod.  I can't change how RSS readers/importers deal with what this mod creates, it's creating a standard RSS feed, it's up to whatever parses that feed to decide what to do with new entries.

[Michael]

Was thinking about this as I went to go pick up my lunch, I think what's going to be the best solution for you is to take advantage of IP.Board 3's XML skin.  Here's an example of what this XML content will look like:

http://forums.invisi...howtopic=281561

Basically what you'd need to do is just write some code that would parse that and then it could display it as HTML code on your website.  It would always be up-to-date as it's reading the actual live forum page.  Make sense?

[Destiny67]

I can sort of see what you mean. I've no idea how to write such a code to parse it but I will wait on 3.0 and see if anybody comes up with something. I think that may be my best bet.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hey Michael,

Sorry I bought this mod a long while ago but am just getting round to implement it and I have the same issue showing only a single RSS entry. You can send me the code edit and I'll do it myself ..no need to send the full file

[Michael]

That was 16 months ago that I posted that, I don't know what the specific problem was.  All I can send you is the full mod.  I'll PM that to you.

Hi Michael,

I've been a member on here for a while and have found some good stuff. I am very interested in this mod, but my website runs v 3.1. This is just what I am looking for as on one section of my website I have videos and when people reply the video maker want the "comments" (posted replies) to also appear on his site via the RSS feed.

As you may know IPB 3 only has topics which get exported and not posts within topics. Perhaps you updated the mod but I was unable to find it, if you didn't is there any chance that you might? I would be very interested in it

[Tealer]

Please can someone give me an update on this it has been more than one week, I am keen to have this mod for Invision 3.1 and am prepared to pay for it to be made?
