SMF2RSS

[Ryan Marcus]

After about 30 minutes of work, I was capable of producing this: http://marcusfamily.info/~ryan/SMF2RSS.zip

It takes all the posts on a SMF board and turns it into a RSS feed.

Example feed: http://marcusfamily.info/~ryan/rss/

There is still a lot of work to be done, but it is getting there!

You do realize SMF already has an RSS feed, right?

Isn't it a plugin you need to install?

Hehe.. really? I looked for it in the help and could not find it and I searched the offical mod database and found nothing...

You can export the board as RSS, but that is not a live feed. Even if it was built in, I plan on adding quiet a few things to my little script..

No.  It comes standard with RC2 1.1.

I gaurentee it's built in with RC2 1.1.  I'm subscribed to three feeds from RC2 1.1 boards, two of which were freshly installed a few months ago.

You're using it now...

Hmmm.. Lesson learned.

Thanks!

Don't let it discourage you.  Perhaps you could build onto what's already been done?  The fact that it marks you as online/logged in when you update the feed is pretty annoying.

Yeah but that could be an easy fix, most likely.

I know.  It was a mere suggestion.

But how am I to know that you're actually online then?

If he's just getting the RSS feed and not actually online, then he's not actually online...?

His browser is still up, so he must be online!

I have no reason to close Opera.  I leave it running as long as my computer is on (which is true unless there's a power outage, I'm restarting or some other related failure).  Opera is also my e-mail client.  I like waking up in the morning and checking my mail.
