RE: [Dnfbb-developers] RSS Feeds

[Bosanquet, S. <sim...@tr...>]

Si,

I saw your email regarding the guy who did the RSS feed stuff from
eggheadcafe (I think it was...Can't seem to locate the email just at the
moment).  I see he used an open source RSS feed generator.  I see his
thinking behind this.  The only problem is that it is under another type
of open source licence.  We already have two different ones (firebird
and mysql).  I think adding a third would just complicate the matter.
Really, for what we need I would suggest that I continue knocking up a
simple rss interface/file access interface.  I will be interested to
hear your thoughts on this as I don't want to do any more if you would
prefer we change to an open source style RSS feed system.

The rss standard can handle up to 15 items if you want to go for
something like that and then make it configurable, e.g. 15 or less for
the board settings.  Are you planning on making the configuration part
of the board settings, e.g. what feeds are included as part of the board
(forum, category or board wide)?

I was thinking along the lines of returning the last 10 posts, visible
to
the user requesting the feed.  This will be by forum, category or board
wide.  Only part of the post should be returned, along with a hyperlink
to
the topic within the forum.

Once I have finished the post/edit post/preview post stuff I will create
a
bol object that will return the last 10 posts for you.

Another thing to keep in mind, you can provide an RSS feed with a
username
and password, I havn't looked into this at all so have no idea how this
side
works.

All the above points ive taken from my use of RSS feeds, you might want
to
add more stuff if required.
