RSS Question

[kizko]

I want my RSS to expose just the first topic from a category, not the reply`s. How can i do that?

[Jade Elizabeth]

That's an interesting question.

If you remind me, I'll look into it tomorrow .

[kizko]

SMF can`t do that (as i know). The most easyer way is to go on www.feedburner.com/ and register yur link. They will expose only the first post. If you find a way to do it from SMF, that will be great!

Well the Show XML feed or what ever function at the top of the news.php source could be edited or you could cheat...

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=25009.0

action=.xml;sa=news <that's that you want

in index.template.php in each of your theme's folders, find this:

Code Select Expand

// If RSS feeds are enabled, advertise the presence of one.
if (!empty($modSettings['xmlnews_enable']) && (!empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) || $context['user']['is_logged']))
echo '
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="', $context['forum_name_html_safe'], ' - ', $txt['rss'], '" href="', $scripturl, '?type=rss;action=.xml" />';


Replace with this:

Code Select Expand

// If RSS feeds are enabled, advertise the presence of one.
if (!empty($modSettings['xmlnews_enable']) && (!empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) || $context['user']['is_logged']))
echo '
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="', $context['forum_name_html_safe'], ' - ', $txt['rss'], '" href="', $scripturl, '?action=.xml;sa=news;limit=10
" />';


Change the limit= number to what ever you choose, but keep in mind that RSS readers load that many each time, not in total .

I'd not recommend going over 100, maybe even 50 to be honest.


Let me know if it works out .

Apparently there's a mod waiting to be approved which does this:

Awesome

I wanted to up the limit of mine, cause I didnt like it being on 10, so that's how I did it .

[meko me]

Hi jade RSS is being sent out frommy email not from my user name for example

can u do something like in WP so that rss should display my user id instead of my email ?

If you're making it send from something other than SMF I doubt it.

Your forum should use its own email, for example mine uses "[email protected]" or "[email protected]".

I'm not sure how to assign a name to that.

You can set it up in the mail > mail settings section .

Oh, well that makes more sense.

I don't know how to do that. If I did I would do it. It's listed as a feature for 2.1 though I believe .

[kizko]

Nice one Jade Elizabeth !!


But is there a posibillity do display only once a topic?

Can you rephrase the question please? I don't understand what you mean .

[kizko]

I`ve set my RSS into feedburner.com

Here is the link : click

Why isn`t the post title going to the original post? The link the oppened window link or the index page. Why?

I used

http://forum.psp-fanatik.ro/index.php?action=.xml;sa=recent;boards=4,5,6,7,8,15,16,17,22,32,31,49,2,3,28,4350,27;limit=10;type=rss2

as RSS Link

[kizko]

Here is the new feed. Same error!

click

[Jade Elizabeth]

That, sadly, is a lovely Feedburner feature. Even my feeds in my sig do it. You're going to need to contact support to figure out if you can change it .

[kizko]

But you feed from you sig have link in theyr title to the supposed topic.

Mine just send me to expose page.

[Jade Elizabeth]

There's something wrong with your RSS feed, I can't fix it. You need to create a new support topic on this .
