Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
opentype Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Maybe instead of just saying “I want this”, people could explain a little better WHAT they want? What are your use cases? How are you using the RSS exports? What options are required for these specific uses?

NoGi Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 Maybe instead of just saying “I want this”, people could explain a little better WHAT they want? What are your use cases? How are you using the RSS exports? What options are required for these specific uses?I use RSS exports to have my forum posts syndicate to my social media (FB, G+ and Twitter) pages. The advantage of the RSS export available on 3.4.x was that I could build that feed based on the forums I wanted included (not the whole forum). As far as I can see, there are no other out of the box features that would allow me to do this? Instead, the only option is do to this forum by forum which is undesirable given the number of forums I have.
phatmass Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I would like this feature back too--but, in the meantime, I am using the limited RSS options in combination with Yahoo! Pipes to aggregate the individual forum feeds together. Might be an option for some of y'all?Update: Nevermind. Thanks alot Marissa Mayer! http://www.businessinsider.com/yahoo-kills-pipes-maps-other-products-2015-6
chilihead Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I use this in 3.4 to syndicate company tweets. Need the per-forum solution as well.
opentype Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I use this in 3.4 to syndicate company tweets. Need the per-forum solution as well. Just in case some people might have missed this: an RSS feed per forum is already possible. Just turn it on in Community → Forums → Settings
NoGi Posted June 16, 2015 Author Posted June 16, 2015 Using a 3rd party site to aggregate my feeds atm but it breaks everytime I change a forum which will be around once a month for the next few months while I optimise layout and forum content based on actual usage on my site. Would be good to get an update from IPS as to where this is at.
Management Matt Posted June 17, 2015 Management Posted June 17, 2015 You can enable RSS feeds per forum so you can easily syndicate a single forum. Are you looking for a feature that can pull from various forums? How would we work permissions for that? Just show what guests can see?
georgebkk Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 I can't upgrade without this single feature as I have multiple domains that requires a RSS feed from my forum.Checking out the marketplace now....
Sheffielder Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I use a 3rd party solution to send out all posts (and an image from the post) to Twitter and FacebookCurrently can't do that as the custom RSS feed has gone which is critical to my sitesUntil it's reinstated I either have to not upgrade to the latest version, or consider moving away from IPS which would be a nightmare
Makoto Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I'll happily look into creating a custom RSS feed application for IPS4. Just give me about a week or two and I'll post it here as soon as it's ready.
sasiko Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I'll happily look into creating a custom RSS feed application for IPS4. Just give me about a week or two and I'll post it here as soon as it's ready.thanks, while you at it you should create all plugins that ips removed from 3.4 aswell <3
Makoto Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Actually I would be happy to work on this as a paid application, but before I do, I would like confirmation that this is not something IPS is currently interested in re-implementing themselves in a future release. Is that something you can comment on @Matt?
NoGi Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 I would hope that they are bringing it back as I would hate to now have to pay for a feature I used to have.

Is that something you can comment on @Matt? This RSS-option seems to be available on all activity streams you can create in the upcoming 4.1-version:
InsideEdge Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 You can enable RSS feeds per forum so you can easily syndicate a single forum. Are you looking for a feature that can pull from various forums? How would we work permissions for that? Just show what guests can see?Yes,For me Guest view is acceptable. I'd like to be able to choose which Forums RSS feeds are selected and combined to create a Site feed that is used to stream topics to facebook and twitter. This is currently present in 3.4.8. For example my site is a hockey website, thus I'd like to combine into one topic feed my NHL team forums along with other general hockey forums and not include other sports forums or off topic forums that are also present on the website. Ideally it would be great to be able to select and include the blog RSS and an article RSS feed to the selected forum RSS feeds.
The Old Man Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 As well as RSS appearing on Activity Streams, I just noticed it's a button on the View All Notifications page too. Clearly IPS thinks RSS isn't dead yet (it's also available in Pages), so I guess there is still hope we can restore our RSS of global new topics/content to get our Twitter etc feeds updating again, possibly by Activity Streams rather than a global customisable RSS feed.
Ocean West Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 wonder if there will be some way to integrate the blogs / and article RSS or other feeds to ios9 News app https://developer.apple.com/news-publisher/
svit Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Must have for my sites too, hope my humble reminder helps bring the rss export as a core function back.
NoGi Posted November 11, 2015 Author Posted November 11, 2015 This could easily be resolved if we could create custom streams based on topic creation date and only list topics as streams all seem to have RSS exports available. But alas, you can't create a stream based on creation date atm.
Sheffielder Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Any updates on this one? its critical to what I do with my forums
Sheffielder Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Be great if this could be reintroduced asap
