Resolved.

Now i'm coming across another issue:

The rss icon appears in the address bar when using Opera to browse the forum, while it doesn't appear in any part when using Explorer...

Why this?
Browser settings?? Other?

Thanks

Hi!

Could you implement a search function for this, like syndication.php?fid=20&t=1&keyword=phpbb ?

I installed the mod and when I try to past the link into Google's feed reader it says it can't find it.

I am not sure what I have done wrong. I have phpbb3 rc5 (even thought the directory is named phpbb2.)

:oops: OK for some reason I just had to wait 15 minutes now all is working great. It would be nice if it cashed the results and only updated it every 15 minutes or when it gets a request. That would lower my server load. Is this possible?

Hi, I installed the Mod into RC5.

There are two errors.
1) The reducing of the chars will not work. Always the full post is parsed in the feed. Or only the title (most in FF)
2) And if a post contains the

Code: Select all

 BBcode ....  the Feedvalidator says that this [code] it`s not UTF-8 and the feed is invalid.

Anybody heard about these errors?

I'm not using IE 7. When I tried this, it always let me download the syndication.php file.
I tried feed validation: http://validator.w3.org/feed/. It seems some posts cause errors.
If I use a small count to include only the first couple posts, it's valid. But my IE still can't read it. It's asking me to download. If this version works only for IE7, is it possible to make this 1.1.1b version work with IE 6?

Here's the errors from the validation. With old version rss.php, I don't have these errors.
Sorry
This feed does not validate.

It seems v1.0.2 rss.php works more easily. I have some questions.
1.

Code: Select all

rss.php?fid=2,3&count=2
It only read the most recent 2 as a total from forum 2 and 3. Is it possible to read recent 2 from the each forum?

And I also have the problem: the reducing of the chars will not work. Always the full post is parsed in the feed.

Thanks.

Hi,

ive used a mod called smartfeed in phpbb2 - it worked fine for me and it supported login via the url so that u can read private forums - so you do not need an active session. On the second hand it was very customizable, every you can choose what he wants to see in his feed.

Perhaps you can watch smartfeed working (http://phpbb.potomactavern.org/smartfeed/index.html) and copy some of its features :))

Thanks for your efforts!

I have installed the mod on my board but it is not working.. I tested the syndication.php on
:arrow: http://feedvalidator.org/

it could read the feed i saw the posts there however it produced several errors.

I continued to set it up for testing on my webportal.. to see if it would show. it didnt it came with an error saying invalid feed.. and undefined ... I used the google feed fetcher and gAjax RSS Feeds Displayer

:arrow: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxfeeds/documentation/

and you find the ajax here :

:arrow: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicinde ... player.htm

I'm getting double and triple feeds in my newsreader. Always the same post are read in again and again. Any idea how this can be fixed?

It would seem that something in the update has caused this mod to stop working... at least for me anyway. Anyone else?
