Title: RSS Feeds
Post by: andymacintyre on April 04, 2008, 01:04:01 PM

RSS Feeds from the News, For Sale and Forum would be great if possible.  Would make keeping tabs on the site a lot easier for me and others who get most of thier content via RSS.

The feed for the News section of the site is coming through fine.
Can't seem to pick up separate feeds for Classifieds or Forum.

I had the feeling that might be the case. When I get a chance I will try to look into it Andy. The only trouble might be that they are separate sub-programs within the website and as such may not be part of the overall syndication

Right, got the RSS thing in the forum working too. The only problem is that you will need to change the template (style) of the forum to see the RSS icons. Go into your profile and click on the "look and layout preferences" link on the left. At the top of the resultant window there is an option to change the style of the forum. Pick the default option. This will then change the template to show the RSS icons, but doesn't look as nice (in my opinion). This needs to be done by every user if they want to be able to access RSS feeds in the forum. Unfortunately at the moment I don't know how to activate this in the normal Phantom template.

Brilliant - that works a treat.  Once you have changed the layout to default and subscribed to the RSS feeds, you can then change the layout back to the multicolour theme in your profile and the feeds update fine in RSS reader when anything new is added to the site.
Many thanks for your efforts.
If there is any way to add a feed for the Classifieds that would be great.
