It is kinda wierd that the following does not show up in validation for your board.  It is totaly left out.

<?xml version="1.0" ?> <rss version="2.0"     xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"><channel>  <image>     <title><-gLu-> Clan Forum</title>    <url>http://www.godzlikeus.com/gLuImages/gluspin.gif</url> ;   <link>http://www.godzlikeus.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi</link>;      <description><-gLu-> Clan Forum</description>  </image>  <title><-gLu-> Clan Forum</title>  <description><-gLu-> Clan Forum</description>  <link>http://www.godzlikeus.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi</link>;

Tim, that one is confusing, not sure why the header stuff CDTrips mentioned isn't showing for you.

In other news, I have the next beta working which has the admin select the categories to allow for RSS viewing.  This will get around the cookie problem.  I just have to write the help file and it will be ready to go.

I appreciate the effort folks are putting in to test these betas.  I know I'm on a rapid development cycle but I haven't had time to code in months so I'm jumping on the chance now.

Mayhaps a silly question but will the Admin selected cats override what the viewers would be allowed to see if they went to the site?

Yep.  Since the RSS Reader can't store cookies there is no way to grant/limit access based on member groups.  If there are categoreis that the Admin doesn't want available to everyone then it is best to leave them off the feed list.

<bump for beta 5>

Changes from beta 4:
  • Moved RSS Feed settings out of Forum Prefs and onto separate page within Admin Center.
  • Added control for Admin to select categories to offer in RSS Feed.  This is necessary as most RSS readers can't store cookie info.  See mod help file for notes.
  • Wrote separate, expanded help file for mod.
  • Fixed (hopefully for good) problem with non-english characters in feed (RSS Reader scripters really aught to think a little more globally).


To upgrade from 1.0 beta 1-4, uninstall/reinstall.  See help file for install directions.

In the MOD file it is looking for Amin.pl in the main Yabb Folder instead of Sources.

<bump for beta 6>

Beta 6 adds a control to turn the short format post descriptions on/off.  When on, the mod works as previous betas, showing the first few words of each post in plain text.  The reader could then choose to go to the full thread.  When off, the reader is taken straight to the full thread view when a post is selected.

I was wondering if anyone has come across similar problems to mine yet... I installed Beta 6 and I am still having the same trouble.

Another weird thing -- though I don't know if it is that weird -- is that I have uninstalled every Beta before continuing with the next version, but I noticed that old RSS Feed Mod functionality still remains in the Admin section of YaBB: where the description/time-offset/etc. info used to be edited.

Or is this how it is supposed to be?

Thanks,
Tim

Are you uploading the files after each change?

Also, if you send me your FTP login info I can take a look and see I can spot what the prblem might be.

Now, that I have my RSS working, thanks to the wonderful help of Dan, I can...add a...wish to the mod...ahem...ha ha! Smiley

Any way to get html formatting to come through in the feed? (i.e., line-breaks and hyper-links would be the most helpful).

Thanks,

Tim

I'll look into formatting but I'm not seeing enough formatting in various feeds to figure out what is allowed/not allowed.

I've also been reading up on the atom standard and I'm thinking of creating an option to syndicate in atom along side rss.  Most of the common readers seem to support the atom standard and it allows for creating more complex feed info without having to tap an external site to pick up the Dublin Core definitions.  Any thoughts on that?

In Display_RSS.pl find:

Code
Select All
	$YaBB_RSS = qq~
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<rss version="2.0"
    xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
<channel>
  <image>
    <title>$mbname</title>
    <url>$imagesdir/$RSS_Image</url>
    <link>$scripturl</link>
    <description>$RSS_Description</description>
  </image>
  <title>$mbname</title>
  <description>$RSS_Description</description>
  <link>$scripturl</link>
~;


and add a couple line returns or \n characters just before
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
