m@t Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hello there,I would like to use the RSS feed of my ips website for gallery streaming to my second website - works fine so fare - but i have only 20 items in the RSS feed from the IPS Gallery - where i can change this to an higher number of items in the RSS feed? IPS support told me that they changed this in IPS 4 to only 10 items anymore ! I do not understand why they do this and why something is hard-coded @ IPS Please find here an setting ..... @ all Can somebody tell me where i find in the code files/the part to change this number of RSS feed items (pls. for IPS4 & IPS3)? Or is there any modification at the moment for ips3 ? I have not found anything Thank you ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Charles Posted March 25, 2015 Management Share Posted March 25, 2015 I am curious as to why it matters? My understanding for RSS is that you get a certain number in the feed (5, 10, 20, whatever) and from there on the program you are using to monitor the feed keeps checking. So while you always have a limit in the feed you never actually miss anything because as new items are added it keeps track. I'm not sure how 10 vs 20 vs 1000 makes a different. Can you explain what you are trying to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous IPB User Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I would like to be able to limit the number of imports and how many times it runs each day. The reason being, on a forum that is not very active, it's easy for the entire site to be overrun by RSS feed imports. It's nice to get a few new items by the RSS feed without it taking over the entire forum annoying the few active members the site has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far more control, far less parsing overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
