Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 Due to popular demand, a MoDaCo RSS feed is now available, for use in RSS readers like Trillian, NewsGator etc... Simply point your RSS reader at http://smartphone.modaco.com/rss.php Enjoy! :lol: P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 In addition, you can narrow results by forum and count, for example: http://smartphone.modaco.com/rss.php?f=35&c=5 will return 5 results from forum 35 (News). P

P To make it perfect, could you make it possible to see only first posts from each thread in given forum? (so that I could see just the news items, without comments, that are obfuscating the the older news items)
Guest nickcornaglia Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 What does obfuscating mean?
Guest www.msmobiles.com Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 What does obfuscating mean? it means that comments to older news are removing latest news from the sight (from the top 10) and thus making them invisible
Guest LarsDK Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 How do you get it to work in trillian, I have installed the rss.dll and added it to plugins, but what do i type in the fields that says server and location?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 14, 2004 Report Posted February 14, 2004 Server is probably smartphone.modaco.com, location is probably rss.php? Use rss.php on it's own for everything, or rss.php?f=35 for news posts, and rss.php?f=35&t=1 for news topics only. P
Guest LarsDK Posted February 15, 2004 Report Posted February 15, 2004 After a reboot of the computer it worked, nice...:) Thanks
Guest DavidD Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 How about tweaking your RSS builder so that it strips out HTML? Also, you might check out how a few other feeds like Wired implement their RSS. Works real smooth.
Guest M@rkC Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 Yee Ha!!! That's made my day, finding out that I can now see what's happening on MoDaCo all day long.....from the comfort of Outlook! I use Intravnews as my RSS reader - it plugs in to Outlook just like NewsGator (oh, and it's free for personal use and dirt cheap for corporates!!). Anyway, I got thrown into a panic when Intravnews said "No RSS channels found" when I tried to subscribe (that's another cool thing; it puts a "Read in Intravnews" entry on IE's right-click menu, so you can just right click an RSS URL and click "Read in Intravnews" - job done!); I tried to subscribe to the feed manually and was able to ascertain that it needed me to provide my MoDaCo login information before it could access the feed. Phew!!! 8) Now, for a question directed at Paul........I might think of more later, I'm like that :wink: Q. Can you provide a list of all the forum numbers so I can work out which ones I want to monitor??
Guest M@rkC Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 Thought of another question for Paul already..... Q. Are the parameters to the .PHP file mutually exclusive....i.e. can i say "rss.php?t=1" to get just the topic headings across all forums? Also, can I do "rss.php?c=20?t=1" to see a maximum of 20 topic headings across all forums.....and finally, if there is any sort of answer to the above "question", do you fancy adding a "?d=n" to just get posts from the last 'n' days (for quiet forums and for when I'm out of the office etc...I really would like to avoid receiving everything posted in the last 14 days for example :shock: ) Thanks in advance......
Guest doyle_am Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 Paul, I'm using rss.php?f=35&t=1 to access the latest news feed. But I keep getting duplicate posts when the reply count changes on a news article. For example I've had 20 items from it for the "Orange Launch Trial of 3G Datacard" - each only differing in the number of replies. Is there a way to stop that happening? Thanks, Andy Doyle
Guest M@rkC Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 Paul, any news on my questions - and on the valid point raised by "doyle_am" about duplicate feed entries with different reply counts??? :roll: Thanks in advance..... M@rk.
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted May 11, 2004 Report Posted May 11, 2004 I'll add it to my 'todo' (been off the forum for a short while). :) P
Guest squall Posted June 8, 2004 Report Posted June 8, 2004 does anyone have the html code for this to be displayed on a web site?
Guest nickcornaglia Posted June 9, 2004 Report Posted June 9, 2004 There's alot of scripts out there that aggregrate RSS feeds. Here is one that I found that works...there's probably better one's out there. Try hotscripts.com http://barkerjr.net/webdesign// Link to CafeRSS
