RSS Feed for emiratesmac forum

hmimthiaz · 14th June 2007, 10:41

Hi Magnus

Is there any RSS feed for the whole forum section of emiratesmac.com. I really love to read the latest post that is happening in the forum, unfortunately I don't have much time to browse through all the sections.

You don't have to give a complete article on the RSS a simple teaser will do. If any topic is interesting or something where I can contribute or if I have the same issues I can jump in and contribute

.

I logged in after a long time and there was note on top that I was not contributing to the group and I felt bad and doing something related to that. That was nice approach. Do we have a facebook community for our user group? I think lot of people spend good amount of time in facebook these days. I think starting a small group in facebook can bring in more members too. Just a thought

You rock !!!!

It's a good idea, but unfortunately right now there is no single RSS feed for all forums and threads. I'll look into it though.

If you haven't visited for a while, to catch up, go to the New Posts page. It should show you all posts that have been made since last you checked.

I know a few people from here are on FaceBook. If you start a group, invite me to it, and I'll also post it to the blog. Thanks for the initiative.

Yes I totally agree with you related to new posts on the forum. The issue here is coming to the website, logging in and going to the page. Sorry for being such a lazy goose. Instead I spend like 2 hours reading lot of stuff on my rss reader. I use newsfire on macbook and which is an incredible software.

If you need any help from me in writing a rss generator for the forum I will be glad to help you out with :-)

Thanks for the offer, and I may just take you up on it (I even wrote a simple RSS feeder myself for ADWC Podcast Central - where all podcasts at ADWC come together). It may be that I've just not looked into vBulletin's capabilities enough. I know vB produces one RSS feed per forum, and that's how there's an RSS feed for the blog, for example, but I don't know of one overall one.

Hi Magnus

Can you give me the database structure of forum . I can write a small script and we can test it over. You can email me the structure.

I love to be a part in this. As you know I am bit held up with my current project time line. I will do it asap.

Thanks
Imthiaz

I think http://www.emiratesmac.com/forums/external.php will give you all posts in publicly available forums.

I guess what I linked to doesn't work. Just checked it myself and it doesn't seem to do the trick.
