RSS Feeds for the Forum

[antipasto]

I know PHPbb has a plugin for rss feeds... and since Xlobby uses RSS... it would be nice to keep abreast of new topics! I get most (if not all) of my information (short of email) from RSS, and would be nice to monitor the forums! Thanks so much!

I think I would be more inclined to help newbies (er... that is... newbies besides myself) if it was easier to see new posts ;p

This has been done! I received an email from Mr. Steven, who was very nice in getting back to me about this!!! Here's the skinny:

There are three variables to the feed URL, and this allows you to create your own feed for whichever forum or topic. You can select how many of the newest articles you would like to see when your feed gets queried, as well as all repies to all topics, or just new topics!

The three variables are (f)orum, (c)ount, and (t)opics ... The value of F is the number of the forum, which can be retreived from the URL when you are looking at that forum. The C variable is the count of new posts (like 20 for the newest 20 posts), and T is a true or false (default false if omitted) value for new topics only.

if you want the annoucements forum you would use this

http://www.xlobby.com/forum/rss.php?f=4

and for more new posts use something like this

http://www.xlobby.com/forum/rss.php?f=4&c=10&t=1

Update: It appears that all of these options are optional... The default for F is all new posts from all forums... and the default for C appears to be 15:
