RSS feed creation for whole Phorum

How does Phorum 5.2 not provide an RSS feed for the whole forum? It can do a full forum feed or it can do a feed for a specific forum. Either with or without replies included in the feed. "RSS feed creation for whole Phorum" describes what we already have, so either your description of what Phorum does not support is bad (and you wanted some other feature that is not supported) or you overlooked the feature.

Example: full feed, with replies for phorum.org

What the ...??? Are you responding to posts from 2005 now? That sad, especially with your reference "don't expect too much help from the development team". Please man, stop being such a troll. You want to be a forum administrator; you really should know better than this...

And once again: is there a question in your message? Or are you "just thinking out loud" once more? Are we supposed to respond to your white screen issue?

White screens normally mean that something is wrong and the PHP crashes at an early stage in the code. The most common reason for this is that there is a syntax error in the code. Check your error logs and enable error reporting in the php.ini so you can see errors in the browser when they occur.

Well, ok, but this is not a "RSS feed creation for whole Phorum". These are partial feeds associated at best to particular forums not several one.

Hello Peter, don't expect too much help from the development team. They are very busy.

I try personally to understand how works this implementation because i obtain a logo with a link in "rss.php?" which shows a magnific blank page wherever it is.

if you use UTF-8 thats the case.
The page already tells what to do:
[feeds.archive.org]

The link posted by Thomas is dead, i found the information it probably has given under [feedvalidator.org]

The rss needs a bit more cleaning to get rid of garbage.

I haven't quite worked out how yet, but I'll get there. Consider this feed which is ok in firefox but falls over in IE due to the apostrophes

[www.sh20extension.com]

Currently I've added in the code at the bottom of [forums.digitalpoint.com] but it doesn't seem to help with this specific problem.

I'm surprised this isn't standard with the forum, but I'm sure it will be eventually.

Minor improvement

The rss.php feeds are kind of hard to read, since they have no linebreaks. The fix is to change line 118 of rss.php from:

        $data.="      \n";

to:

       $data.="      nl2br(htmlspecialchars($item['description']))."]]>\n";

This makes the feeds nicer to read. Cheers!

I suggest to add a charset definition to both header and xml entity. Obviousely an author must contain an email address, so maybe it should only be displayed when an adress is present.

With these changes implemented this Feed validates with [www.feedvalidator.org]

[www.feedvalidator.org] says here to me:

------------cut------------

Sorry - This feed does not validate.
line 16, column 18: author must include an email address (30 occurrences) [help]

I am wondering how the guys of feedvalidator.org knows my nickname. I am glad about this "bug", that an emailadress will NOT be published there at feedvalidator.org. I already have enough spam.

I got rss.php but I would like to get only the thread and not the message to avoid multiple line for the same thread.
So for me it will be better to have the thread id and not the message id

I have a version that does this. I don't have it in SVN though. I don't know that it will make it into 5.1 stable. I will try to post it here though.

Is there a way to find the latest available release of a given plugin without having to dig through the associated thread in the forum?

Can someone point me to a version of rss.php that they are confident in?

Another thread mentioned that RSS was being integrated into phorum's core, but I just upgraded and I don't see anything that looks related.

With russian charset works only phorss version, and one more addition, it will be good to make replacement of forum tags (like ) to html tags before make rss, i made it myself, because can't found in forum function which made such replacement, maybe somebody can help

$descr = nl2br($item['description']);
$descr = preg_replace("/[url(.*?)\]/i","",$descr);
$descr = preg_replace("/[\/url(.*?)\]/i","",$descr);
$descr = preg_replace("/[color(.*?)\]/i","",$descr);
$descr = preg_replace("/[\/color(.*?)\]/i","",$descr);
$descr = preg_replace("/[(.*?)\]/i","<\\1>",$descr);
$descr = preg_replace("/[\/(.*?)\]/i","",$descr);
$data.=" \n";

Neither is 100% possible. YOu can have a global feed. You can also have a feed for just one forum. You can not have a feed for one forum of only new topics. That is on the wishlist though.

I have the rss feed runnin for the whole board, but I'd like to have 2 rss feeds runnin and relayin the info to an ircd [which i have working fine] the thing is, the rss I have now is replayin all posts made global (all activity) on my phorum, and I'd like that to remain but to miss out 1 forum which I'd like as a second feed that will only grab the new posts in this particular forum, is this possible?

So, 2 rss feeds with 2 urls

example: www.domain.com/rss.php (gloabal - 1 forum)
www.domain.com/rss1.php (forum specific)

RSS Feed error occurs with character & in forum heading.

Also, encoding doesn't know how to treat the ' character.

What's the fix for these?
---------------------------------------------
Ok, got those fixed... Now the new thing...
bbcodes and showing in rss feed(s)...

Anyone have a simple solution my current problem?

Hi, just tried to subscribe to the phorum rss feed running off this site using Omea Reader but it won't do it and says the feed is invalid, having a invalid charcter in the given encoding, line 41 position 38.

Can anyone help?!?

Could someone tell me where to add the array? I don't think I can do that with php skills...

Re: RSS feed creation for whole Phorum

Thomas Seifert — Thu, 10 Mar 2005 06:49:30 -0600

phorum_format_messages requires an array to work with.

Re: RSS feed creation for whole Phorum

Sep — Thu, 10 Mar 2005 05:24:24 -0600

I replaced this:

$data.=" \n";

With this:

$data.=" \n";

I also tried it with format messages inside htmlspecialchars - doesn't seem to work - I'm php challenged, so I might've gotten that worng...

Re: RSS feed creation for whole Phorum

Brian Moon — Mon, 07 Mar 2005 10:26:06 -0600

Just call phorum_format_messages(). Let us know if that works out.

Nice module, works very well. Just one question - how hard would it be to make it parse forum code into html - like links made with [ url ]-tag, images and such?

Re: RSS feed creation for whole Phorum

jgarbers — Thu, 20 Jan 2005 14:50:34 -0600

Hi - wanted to let you know that the code worked perfectly here - just dropped right in. The only thing I noticed, an admittedly obscure case, was that I get an error "Notice: Undefined variable: items in c:\apache\htdocs\asite\phorum\rss.php on line 89" if I try to pull the RSS feed for a completely empty forum. Thanks for sharing the nice work!

You have a newline at the first of your document that is generated. Check our source for some errant newline.

I get this error message when i try to browse rss.php (for troubleshooting reasons):

XML Parsing Error: xml processing instruction not at start of external entity
Location: [happymtb.org]
Line Number 2, Column 1:

^

RSS readers can not load the feed.

The Phorum uses mod_rewrite to get url:s like http://happymtb.org/forum/list.php/1 instead of http://happymtb.org/forum/list.php?1 and I suspect this is why it doesn't work?

I used the rss.zip from the first post.

I have not attached the example.php code to my footer.tpl yet.

Re: RSS feed creation for whole Phorum

Brian Moon — Wed, 12 Jan 2005 16:16:14 -0600

Odd, the rss script does not include the footer. Not sure where that came from.
