Cool Stuff...
I installed ver 1.0b7 and interestingly it is displaying guests & Member Email addresses... when in the RSSReader
http://www.rssreader.com/ ...

I tried clearing my cookie,,, logged out and restarted browser and RSS Reader...  Still could see the email addresses..??
maybe I missed something...

Cool mod ...

Thanks

Hi,,,
  Yes, I use IE6 and was using RSSReader...
I will test more tonight and post more

I don't know why but the rssreader when I click on Read More
No other icons just email addresses of Guests... and some members... not all ??   I have tried logging out and in as someone
else, not admin or Gmod... 
I can't figure it out there is no rhyme or reason...
it shows All Guests and some members email addresses..

Hmmm,  if you log out of Boardmod here and then look around the boards you will see that showing the emails for guests is default YaBB behavior even if the viewer is a guest.

That being said, I think that the "long form" descriptions are still too bloated and I'm thinking about stripping them down further.  The email addresses are certainly one thing that could go, as well as many of the buttons.  I think the short form descriptions better implement the RSS idea that less is more.

I finally found this board. lol  I bugged Dan in PM because I couldn't find this board. 

I got this mod to work but I still get errors with some  new posts.  Dan saw I had weird characters in a few posts like a ... as one character.  I then had more errors but not sure of the characters causing it now.  It might be the apostrophe.  How about " or &? 

Two new questions.  One, how can I find the exact characters listed in the error message (line, character #)?  In case I come across another character error not fixed yet, I want to quickly fix it so the RSS isn't errored out too long.

Two, is there a way to ONLY send the 1st post of each topic to RSS?  I don't want replies sent to RSS.  Worst case scenario: I'll only allow staff to post but I'd like the topics to be discussed.

To have the first post in a thread listed in the feed instead of the last, in RRS_Display.pl find:

				while( <FILE> ) { $recentmessage = $_; }

 

and replace it with:

#				while( <FILE> ) { $recentmessage = $_; }
				@tempmessages = <FILE>;
				$recentmessage = $tempmessages[0];

Hi, just wanted to say that I installed this mod and it works fine for me. My forum doesn't allow guest posting.

I don't know what effect this has, but I altered the last occurance of action=rssdisplay in RSS_Display.pl to action=display. I use SmartbarXP and added a component for the news ticker to display the latest posts.

Before changing it, it showed my forum pages using the correct style but no yabb menu at the top. By changing the rssdisplay to display, the links open up the correct page in the normal forum. So if your logged in or out, it's the same as if anyone visits the forum.

Seems to be working perfectly, but I'm going to download some other feedreader's and see what happens with them.

Nice mod folks. I like it and it seems to work for me
