Title: RSS Feeds
Post by: Netham45 on January 04, 2007, 07:06:00 pm
Would it be at all possible to have RSS feeds for the individual threads? That would be great; I could add certain topics to Opera's RSS feed manager.

can not be done on IF (as PHP or something would have to create the RSS fedd). That might be a good idea for Rivereye CMS though.

i know, but we cant access the php. Only way to do php here is to have the php script inserted in a image or something like this. Tenniskid may be more able to help on this, as he found out the solution

still the issue with lack of db access, get around that, and things will be good.

yeah, he could always grab news directly from html pages tho, like the portal

This could be done, but not be very feasible.  What I would have to do to do RSS feeds, for example on the latest news topics, would be have to use a file_get_contents() on the page that lists the news topics and would have to extract the three latest news topics from the raw html (very very difficult) and would then update a database with them, and then the feed would have to extract the titles from the database.  Not easy by any means.

Yeah, I think that is what he means. Mabye it would be easier to just sniff out the RSS feeds that have Omnimaga in them and show those as seperate RSS feeds?

So, TK, did you figure out how to do it yet?
Title: RSS Feeds
Post by: Netham45 on January 26, 2007, 06:05:00 pm
Has anything came of this?
Title: RSS Feeds
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 27, 2007, 02:39:00 am
i dont think so. TK hasnt done much work on this yet, plus I got told it's very insecure to use php image scripts in images, so i doubt it would be a good idea

Post by: rivereye on January 27, 2007, 04:42:00 am
actually, it insecure just to allow offsite things anyway really, as with a little .htaccess, you can really do some damage.

Post by: tenniskid493 on January 27, 2007, 05:40:00 am
there is no safe, secure way to do this w/o database access, so im not going to be able to do anything about it
Title: RSS Feeds
Post by: Netham45 on January 27, 2007, 06:50:00 am
Ok. Mabye Zetaboards will have a secure way to do this.

yeah but ti news is very slow, it would be better to have our own feed

really? they've been rather fast. the way they work is when someone accesses the Omnimaga RSS feed it updates the feed before sending it, so it *should* always be updated.
