bonesoul Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Is this even possible? I want to export my forum's topics as RSS but couldn't find the functionality in ipboard 4?
bonesoul Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 already done so but can't locate the feeds
steve00 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 already done so but can't locate the feedsShould be at bottom right (can see on IPS site Here)When you click it opens a little box with link for the 'feed' link
bonesoul Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 I see that the box features per-forum feeds, what I want is a single feed that can contain data from all my forums.

Surendra.S Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 I am facing the same problem. In 4.1.9, where can I find RSS export manager ? (its available in my current version 3.4.5) I know there is RSS feed for every section. But how can I create a single RSS feed for my entire forum by exporting topics of selected sections ? Without that, how will I be able to supply a RSS feed for FEEDBURNER mails ? If anyone finds a solution, kindly let me know.

Thank You. But it does not seem to be giving control on which forum sections I should include in the stream. Also, in RSS feed, I need latest 150 items and only titles (no description). Currently RSS seems to be showing only 25 items. How and where to change RSS settings for that ?

Sure it does. 1 minute ago, Surendra.S said: Currently RSS seems to be showing only 25 items. Why do you need more, even more than 100? Doesn’t sound like a good idea to create such large feeds.
The Old Man Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Hi Surendra, This post may help you:- There are so many topics and discussions on this subject, probably because it's not obvious to people how to restore some of the outgoing RSS functionality.

Thank You so much sir. Will have a detailed look at that thread.

If RSS feed is created only for latest 25 posts, then the members get mail with 25 posts only and miss the remaining 75 posts. An RSS reader or in this case Feedburner is supposed to check your RSS feed frequently, e.g. every 10 minutes or every 30 minutes or whatever and will accumulate all new posts this way. That’s the point. And since RSS feeds are checked all the time (and potentially by thousands of clients at the same time) its good practise to keep them small.
Surendra.S Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Where are you creating the stream by selecting specific forums (sections) as shown in your image ? I cant find any such option (See image) in Demo version 4.1.9. Am I missing something ?
chilihead Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Streams, public side. But the issue is you get bumped topics, so duplicates. They need a "Created by" date sort.

Any IPB Docs available ? 2) How can I eliminate <DESCRIPTION> from RSS feeds ? I want only the <TITLE> & <LINK> to be shown in all RSS feeds. 3) How to make RSS feed to show 100 items in instead of default value 25 items ?
bassangler Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 I'm not seeing anyplace to create an RSS feed from an activity stream. There's nothing about RSS anywhere, other than enabling it in the ACP. What am I missing?

bassangler Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 I need an RSS feed for other purposes. The only RSS feeds I see, are for individual forums, but not for streams. I need one for the "view new content" stream. How do I do that? Where do I find those? I see nothing.

bassangler Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 Doesn't exist on my site. Like I said, I see nothing.
