	Quote: 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 Check out my test feed in the first post again. I've been able to bring YaBBC formatting into the feed (minus the CSS stuff) so links and images work as they should. I'll release a new beta with this feature soon. I built an alpha atom feed and have decided to drop that project. Turns out that with atom there still needs to be a link to an external site so it doesn't offere any advantages anymore. Dan

	<bump for beta 7> Added YaBBC support so now links, images, smilies, and other YaBBC codes should work in short form post descriptions. Dan

	Right, got one for you, without me reading all the previous posts, but doing just a quick skim, I can't see what I'm after... Instead of using the recent posts, is it possible to pass a board name to it, so that I can specify if I want the feed to come from a specific board? Cheers in advance.

	You can specify which categories to feed but not individual boards. Dan

	Hmmmm, will you be adding "board" support?

	I'll have to think about it to see if I can work out access right complications. The reason for using categories is that membergroup access is set at the category level in YaBB and therefore board access is determined based on categories. Dan

	Surely though if a board admin wants the feed to come from a specific board, it's simplier? less loading so less system resource usage? I can see the url now... YaBB.cgi?board=news;action=rss

	Just had a look at your code for RSS_Feed, no offence, but it looks like there's way too much in there for what the routine is actually for. As I said no offence.

	The script for the RSS Feed itself isn't that big, just the RSS_Feed routine. The biggest block of script in the file is the RSS_Display routine which is pretty much the entire contents of the Display.pl file, slightly modified to strip it down to just the thread minus the headers, navigation and so forth but plus the forum template CSS stuff. This fits the three pane format of RSS readers a bit better. The script for the Settings Page is also in there. Also, the strip_char routine is fairly long. RSS is much less tolerant of abnormal content than html is so the strip_char routine is needed to convert a bunch of special characters to character codes. Dan

	This is the best version yet as it supports the Yabb tags. I just have to figure out how to change the colors of the text inside of a quote box as it is showing up black text on black box in the RSS feed.

	You might want to try this Ironwing RSS Validator

	Quote: You might want to try this Ironwing RSS Validator Yep, I use the validator continuously while tweaking the mod. The output is valid. If you have ideas on shrinking the code while producing the same output, have at it. Dan

	Hmmm when I run it through the validator I get... This feed does not validate. Feeds should not be served with the 'text/plain' media type. Also I noticed you were "using" definitions from another site, I've gone to the RSS v2.0 definations and changed stuff like <dc:subject> to the correct <title> etc. I'm just trying to get YaBB to put it out as a proper XML format, I suspect it's because of the "print $RSS_feed;" at the end that's stopping this.
