Irrlicht Forum RSS - Now With More Magic

[dejai]

I was getting sick of the Irrlicht forum RSS not existing so now you have: http://uberwolf.com/services/irrlicht/rss/ it has all the current topics and updates often enough to be of some use. If you like it leave a comment if you want me to add any features to the system please leave a comment below. Honestly I just wanted RSS support and couldn't be bothered waiting. Maybe it could be some cool forum statistic software / analyzer later who knows.

Well, maybe you just shoudl have asked?! Since we have the new forum now, such things should also be possible...

Certainly PHPBB3 has inbuilt atom support. I wrote this script a while back just thought it would be something useful to have around in case people wanted to build additional services ontop of the forum instead having to manually scrape the pages themselves. I update it every 15 minutes to be polite to the server. Maybe it is not so useful.

Hmm, actually you're right. There's a feeds setting in the administration panel. I've now enabled some feeds, but didn't found any changes so far. Maybe there's some more config to be done first.

Well Chrome is suggesting me some feeds. They seem to only be visible in the source:

Code: Select all

<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Feed - Irrlicht Engine" href="http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/feed.php" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Feed - News" href="http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/feed.php?mode=news" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Feed - All forums" href="http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/feed.php?mode=forums" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Feed - New Topics" href="http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/feed.php?mode=topics" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Feed - Forum - Off-topic" href="http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/feed.php?f=3" />

Opera perfectly detects all feeeds

Oh yeah, firefox also has them. It's just that firefox 5 does not display them in the title bar anymore
