RSS feed for Twilight forum

Post by alexschreyer » Fri Sep 25, 2009 3:47 pm

Can you add an RSS feed to the forum? It is extremely easy - I got the Kerkythea folks to add it to their forum a while ago. Since both are based on phpbb it may be possible to just copy the file over.

In essence: Get the rss.php file from the phpbb site. Put it into the root directory of the forum. Done! Users just have to browse to http://site.com/forum/rss.php and get the feed for the newest items. Don't forget to put a link somewhere in the template (and maybe add the proper header meta-tags as well).

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks for the suggestion Alex. I was not aware that the phpBB group had an official rss implementation. I investigated third-party implementations but was concerned about security. I'll look for it directly from phpBB.

We also have such a mod ("modification") over the SCF. You can subscribe to the whole forum (not suggested) or individual topics, new topics or new replies etc.

I don't know however how much members use it (I don't :roll: )
