Hypography RSS Feed...


Buffy

Recommended Posts

There is currently an RSS feed which will add new threads to your favorites list. In firefox you will see an orange icon on the bottom right. Other browsers I have no clue.

 

The email's you and everyone else have been receiveing is from a newsletter system that we installed. You can turn them on or off in your control panel, or switch between HTML and text mails.

Well, in spite of alexander, I actually use IE to read hypography! Its cuz I have popups turned off, and it doesn't use the same process space as my performance monitors that are running in FF. I also have a separate newsreader and never use the FF rss feature. I'll grab the url out of FF if you want to leave it to me as an exercise....

 

Go ahead, K, call me a girl-geek if you must.... :)

 

Thanks!

Now why would I call you a girl-geek? I see nothing out of the ordinary. Now those jocks, they are the strange ones. :)

 

Now let me see if I am getting the right message here... You wish for a live feed of the current posts, not from FF, but in a newsreader? Would you happen to be referring to the news mail function seen in a few mail clients like Outlook and Tunderbird?

Nope. I mainly use RSSReater 1.0.88 (available from download.com) cuz its free. I got it working with the Hypography feed url: works good! Now I can turn off those e-mail posts!

 

You should publish it so that folks not using that wierd feature of FF don't have to look at the page source to find it! But I'll leave it to you to post it!

 

Cheers,

Buffy

Hokay, been fiddling with it: you should add the forum name and the poster to the information that's spit out in the feed. Otherwise good! I like!

 

Um, is it dynamically generated, or is it updated on a schedule? At the very least there seems to be a lag. You may want to try dynamic generation until it gets a lot of subscribers, then you'll have to start worrying about processor usage (although CT doesn't charge for it...yet, they'll just move the rest of us off to other application pools!).

I frankly don't know - I've only installed a vbulletin.org hack that offers some improvement over the basic one that comes with vBulletin. I'll publish the details tomorrow so that you can tweak it via the URL - there are a lot of options, really. It just hasn't been to high on our list yet.

For now the RSS feed is integrated with vBulletin and not written by ourselves but of course we can hack it so that it works just the way we want it. Problem is then it will not be like how others want it. And then they'll start hitting me because I'm so short. And I don't like that. :)

 

No, seriously...it's 4am over here and I need to go back to sleep...I have a cold and a sore throat and am actually to be on a breakfast show on TV in 5 hours and have almost lost my voice entirely. Yay!!! :D
