JMann Veteran Posted October 4, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2008 I am not 100% sure if this is possible due to the limitations of IPB, which as far as I am aware Neowin uses. I don't know how heavily modified the Forums backend is, or what our great Neowin coderator's could do? I could definitely see it been used though if possible!

White Cuban Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...mp;id=SOMETHING i don't know why hums doesn't work, maybe because his forum number isn't as same as rss as other things, since rss must clear when its deleted, while the forum keeps count of the forums even if deleted, rss might work otherwise, just keep going up till you find the feed. don't forget to thank me 6 for example is vista forum if im not mastiken.

White Cuban Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Interesting idea, just one thing though. How will it be implemented? jesus just read my post, the forum system already has it integrated, we just need to find Hum's forum number. Couldn't Hum instead make his own news collection site instead of having asub forum of his own on a tech site. No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted October 4, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2008 Couldn't Hum instead make his own news collection site instead of having asub forum of his own on a tech site. He does seem to post alot of non tech stories but the same could be said for other sections like me with the media but I don't see the need for a RSS feed if you want to know where he gets his stories from ask him and RSS those sites.

C++ Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 ^ What's an RSS feed ? :unsure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS ;) You've been had... Hum is playing coy, RSS feeds is where he gets most of his stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEah, but the whole forum is dedicated to him spamming "interesting" news stories. it'd be better for him to have his own site, it serves no purpose here. heck they could make it a neowin sub site or partner site or whatever, and all the Hum fans could read his stories there. For them it'd make little difference if he posted on a news collector site of his own, a site properly coded and set up to deliver news and even provide links backs and all that crap, rather than spammign a forum, mostly for post count.

sundayx Veteran Posted October 4, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 4, 2008 If you use Firefox you could see the list of RSS feeds available. From the looks of it if his posts were in its own section it would be possible already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted October 4, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2008 I thought each forum could have its own rss feed in firefox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs_Angel_D Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 I looked for an RSS feed for that forum with firefox but couldn't find one my guess is it's not enabled in the Admin control panel, that's why I asked if we could have one, I was hoping they would turn it on. It would be really handy to have the Feed made available and then Burned at Feedburner, that would keep down bandwidth on Neowin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs_Angel_D Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Why can't the RSS feed be enabled for this forum PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE!!!! I really would love to have it in my feed reader.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad. Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I love Hum's news, Come on Neowin, check the usual forums, notice one of his news posts in the recent activity and view it, go back to the homepage and there's usually something of my interest in the recent activity area.

MasterC Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Couldn't Hum instead make his own news collection site instead of having asub forum of his own on a tech site. I agree. All he does is copy and paste stupid stories here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJo Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Why not just get any other news RSS? The stories posted in his forum are only copied from other news agencies. That's not to say that it's not a good thing to have it here - it's nice to get a selection of the interesting stories in a forum designed for discussion.

AnthonySterling Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 You could, with a little PHP, always make your own feeder. Of course, you'd need to add some caching and error checking, but here's a working example... <?php $iForumID = (isset($_GET['readForum']) && !empty($_GET['readForum']) && (Integer)$_GET['readForum'] !== 0) ? $_GET['readForum'] : 58; $oXPath = new DOMXPath(@DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile('https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showforum=' . $iForumID)); if($oXPath->query('//span/span/a')->length == 30) { $sXML = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">'; foreach($oXPath->query('//span/span/a') as $oNewsItem) { $sXML .= trim(sprintf( ' <entry> <title>%s</title> <link href="%s" /> <id>%s</id> <updated>%s</updated> </entry> ', ucwords(strtolower($oNewsItem->nodeValue)), htmlspecialchars($oNewsItem->getAttribute('href')), md5($oNewsItem->getAttribute('href')), date(DATE_ATOM, time()) )); } $sXML .= '</feed>'; header('Content-Type: application/atom+xml'); $oXML = new SimpleXMLElement(trim($sXML)); echo $oXML->asXML(); exit; } header('HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable'); exit; ?> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"><entry> <title>Silly News Items</title> <link href="https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?amp;showtopic=514973"/> <id>219175ad79bb8edb73265536d2500738</id> <updated>2009-05-08T11:02:16+01:00</updated> </entry><entry> <title>Crikey, Mate!
