RSS FEED for new postings

[RealEstateRay]

Any way you can set up an RSS feed for new posts across all forums, not just individual categories?

Yes, it is possible to do for all forums. It`s an administration option.

However, since RSS exports do not use a permission-based system, I would only do that for public forums. No members-only topics will ever be available in RSS format.

As such, would it be useful? Should they be exported separately (i.e. a separate feed for General Discussion, Real Estate Discussion, etc)? Or should there just be one feed that exports all public forum topics in one?

I appreciate input. I`ll enable these feeds if there is significant demand.

I`m an avid forum member and a RSS addict. Unless it`s all of them, eliminating my need to check the forums every day, it`s not really worth it to me. That said, I should really go add the calendar RSS to my reader.

 

[Grant]

Sounds good. I`ll leave it as is. The Calendar is quite useful as an RSS feed.

I don`t know all the ins and outs of RSS, but basically it`s a system that notifies people when there are updates to a certain website or news service. It`s like a news ticker.

Wikipedia explains it in more depth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rss

Hi Ed,

I wrote a series of articles about what RSS is and how to use it.
