RSS feeds

[Joe ST he/him]

Well yeah, since you've started promoting articles and things, is there any way we can get a feed of 'things that appear on the front page'? I couldn't find one, the only 4 I found were too IP.Content one which were empty, the 'blogs' feed, and the Calendar.

Thanks

Joe

Hmmm. That's really bizarre how it's not already there. I'm sure I can do it (because Dragonmount does, and their on IPB as well), but it'll take a bit of time.

We just need to play around with the RSS controls. Wherever they are; honestly, I've been so busy with the design end of it that I haven't looked around for things like RSS at all, and the Invision Power Suite ACP can be a little... strange, sometimes, in where it puts the options. Like putting the settings for friendly URLs under "Search Engine Optimization" instead of the category that actually mentions URLs.

[Chaos he/him]

Yeah there might exist some RSS options we haven't noticed yet.

[Joe ST he/him]

thanks for considering it , good luck

That would be excellent. It always catches me by surprise when we have a News Story.

EDIT: Ooh, could we make it so we can have a feed for different topics? That would be awesome for Nexus.

Turns out this was stupidly easy. Apparently, the default setting was "Let's not give them an RSS feed!"

Now there is one, right next to the Latest News header.

Or the feed is right here: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/rss/ccs/1-17th%20Shard/

EDIT: The link to this feed may change when I get Feedburner set up, but there will be very obvious buttons when I do.

hmm, well the Vericon Report is not in that feed.

[Chaos he/him]

Guh. That's weird, to say the least.

[Chaos he/him]

I'm not sure why the Vericon report didn't appear, but Save Vin did, so the feed DOES work. Something weird happened to Vericon, unfortunately.

[Joe ST he/him]

Ahh ok....Thanks

[KChan she/her]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Save Vin go up after the RSS? Or if it didn't, wasn't it the current article when that was enabled? If that's the case, it could just be that the RSS feed doesn't pull news posts retroactively.
