Is this even possible? I want to export my forum's topics as RSS but couldn't find the functionality in ipboard 4?

Forums > Settings > Enable RSS Feeds

already done so but can't locate the feeds

​Should be at bottom right (can see on IPS site Here)

When you click it opens a little box with link for the 'feed' link

I see that the box features per-forum feeds, what I want is a single feed that can contain data from all my forums.

I want to find a feed with all posts!

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.

There is no manager, but you can create an activity stream for the content you want and then that stream can have an RSS feed.

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.

Why do you need more, even more than 100? Doesn’t sound like a good idea to create such large feeds. 
 

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. 

 

Sure it does.

Can you tell me where exactly you are creating this above content stream ?

In Admin panel, System > Content Discovery > Streams > Create New

Is this the one ?

I need it for FEEDBURNER as I will be posting 100+ new posts every day.

The number of entries in a feed doesn’t need to exceed the number of new items per day. That’s not how RSS works. ;-)

We send Feedburner email daily with all 100 new posts we make.

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.

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

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. 

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 ?

Streams, public side. But the issue is you get bumped topics, so duplicates. They need a "Created by" date sort.

Thank You. I am OK with bumped topics.

1) Where can I read more documentation about Streams ? 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 ?

 

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?

Not sure what you are expecting. You don’t need to “create a RSS feed”. It’s just a feature of an activity stream. There are no additional settings. 

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.

Doesn't exist on my site.  Like I said, I see nothing.
