RSS feed to follow new posts?

Hello Lambertus :wink:

One thing I would love is an RSS feed(s) for the forum. It’s very practical to directly see when there’s a new post and come-back quicker. I think it would increase participation/visits.

That said I don’t know if it’s an easy task to do on PunBB (plugin maybe?)

Anyway thanks for the forum as it is, it’s cool :slight_smile:

Hello together,

the PunBB is better as you know. He can allready show you rss feeds.
There is the file extern.php here some examples of the use of them:

All active posts from the Feedback Subforum:
http://forum.openstreetmap.org/extern.php?action=active&type=RSS&fid=8

Forum Germany
http://forum.openstreetmap.org/extern.php?action=active&type=RSS&fid=14

You can find the FID by scrolling with the mouse over the forum an you
just copy the id of the link.

Here the possibilities of the action parameter:
active (the newest active themes) (HTML or RSS)
new (newest themes) (HTML or RSS)
online (show online users) (HTML)
online_full (show all users) (HTML)
stats (Forum statistics) (HTML)

For detailed information please check:

Anyone know how you can get everything except the German forum? Actually the whole "OSM community " subsection would be nice to exclude…

This something that would be nice to have on the fourm as well, there is a link called “show new posts” which isn’t that good when you get german/swedish/russian posts mixed.

Wow, thanks a lot Zapfen I didn’t know it was that easy.

PS: I love your bike+navigation device very much :wink:

I receive requests for adding the post content to the RSS feed. It would then look something like this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/help/insideguardian/2008/oct/22/full-fat-rss-feed-upgrade/rss instead of: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/extern.php?action=active&type=RSS&fid=8

Any comments?
