Well it's been a while since the last post. Is there any progress yet?
Are there still plans to create a rss-feed for the forum (like for example linuxquestions.com does) |

It would be nice to at least get the news that hits the Gentoo home page as an RSS feed.

RSS feed of topics? RSS feed of sub-topics?
Any kind of RSS feed would be good. |

I've got to throw in my vote. I don't time have time to participate in fgo as much as I want due to lack of time. RSS feeds would fix that. |

Great to hear! In the meantime the feed from feed43 will suffice for my fix. |

|

| I have an RSS feed running on the top of my desktop with news, portage updates and dealnews.com and I just thought how cool it would be to have an RSS feed of unanswered and new posts from the forums. I was just a bit curious to see if anyone else thinks that would be helpful? |

Yes, another vote for a RSS feed. I'd even be willing to spend some time hacking at phpBB internals.
Oh and please release the gentoo sources  |

Here's a quick Ruby script I came up with that will scrape the Posts from the last 24 hours search page and email it to somewhere. I've been using this because there's no RSS feed. I'm a programming noob so if anyone can improve/offer suggestions on the script please let me know.
| Code: | #!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'net/http'
latest_posts = Net::HTTP.get URI.parse("http://forums.gentoo.org/search.php?search_id=last")
lines = latest_posts.split("\n")
links = Array.new
lines.each do |line|
line =~ /<a/
$' =~ /<\/a>/
if $` != nil
links.push($`)
end
end
good_links = links.select { |link| link =~ /highlight-.html/ }
pre_url = "http://forums.gentoo.org/"
link_string = Array.new
good_links.each do |link|
link =~ /href=\"/
$' =~ /\?sid=/
url = pre_url + $`
link =~ /">/
link_string.push("#{url} #{$'}\n\n")
end
`echo "#{link_string.to_s}" | mutt -s "Gentoo Forum Activity" you@your_email.whatever`

|
|
I was poking around some other forums in the past day or two and I noticed that some of them allow for a direct RSS feed of a given topic. I don't know about the rest of you but anything I want to keep up on I take a RSS feed to Firefox or another program. It lets me see when someone has responded to a post or simply allows me to keep up on the latest news feeds.
Is it possible to add this feature to the Gentoo Forums?

Well if you mean a RSS feed of the entire forums it would be pretty crazy, but I'm going to assume you mean RSS feeds on a particular thread. I have no idea if the phpbb code allows for this, but it could be a decent addon for some users.
Personally I just do a username search on my SN to see what is happening on the threads I have responded to. |

Yep, that's exactly what I meant. I never realised there was an egosearch url. I thought that was just what people called it. |

Yeah, phpbb has some features that are easy to overlook. For example, it took me quite some time to figure out that the tiny little icon left to the "Posted: $date" field above each post can be used to link to the post directly, or that the "=> View newest post" and "=> View latest post" links on forums index pages have different semantics

Is there any talk of adding an RSS feed to the Gentoo Forums? I would be interested in this feature at some point.

The Admins don't want to use mods, so unless this feature gets added to phpBB2 it won't be added.

Oops, sorry. I checked for dupes briefly but not completely enough, I guess.

Would adding RSS strain the servers a non-trivial amount?
I don't care if you add it or not but back when I was young we had to check for new forum posts manually. Barefoot. In the snow. Up a Hill. Both ways. |
