Can we get RSS for xda-developers.com? - About xda-developers.com

Hey, so we can read post on our cell.
please provide subforum RSS as well.

i believe you can already subscribe to sub-forums. Just not single threads.
You can see the forum id in the url of your chosen sub-forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=312
All i did was change the number on the end to reflect the sub forum i wanted. 312 being the Trinity Upgrade Thread.

Will someone give us RSS as new year presents?

are you after individual threads, or sub-forums? ...
Cos if it's threads, (like an individual ROM thread for instance),
then I concur, this would be nice, but your original post seemed to indicate you were asking for sub-forum RSS feeds.
If it's that, then I assure you, what I said before works....
just go to your sub-forum, note down the number at the top,
then copy and paste the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=312
into your rss reader and change the number at the end to the [sub-forum] you want.

XDA-developers now offers RSS feeds

RSS (Real Simple Syndication) is a way for other sites to carry our content. If you don't know what it means, it probably won't do much for you.

Forum Specific RSS Feeds?
While I see two RSS Feed linls listed here, is there a way to access only specific forums (i.e. Blue Angel Upgrading or Blue Angel Accessories) with an RSS Feed Link?
Thanks in advance for your answer!
Why don't you add:
Code:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="XDA-Developers News" href="http://xda-developers.com/news.rss" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="XDA-Developers Last 30 Topics" href="http://xda-developers.com/forum-30.rss" />
to the HTML Head field?
I appreciate your response, however if I'm reading your code correctly this would give me the last 30 posts, regardless of forum. I'm only interested in posts in the BA forums (either BA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=23
or
BS Upgrading:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=24).
Any ideas on this? I'm currently beta testing NewsBreak and would like to include feeds specific to my device.
TIA!

I think the same. You must order the phpbb_topics table by the last message post (time/id) and pick the first 30 post_id 's... Smt like this will do afaik:
Code:
$sql = "SELECT *
FROM " . TOPICS_TABLE . "
ORDER BY `topic_last_post_id` DESC
LIMIT 0, 30";

Great! Just I am looking for.
Hi,
I agree: it should be very very usefull to have a different rss for each forum, in order to sync only that forums of your interest...
Any idea?
So, is there an rss feed for each forum yet? I don't need the feed for the whole xda phone world!
Yup, it's the same for me. I'm only interested in maybe three forums.
Any chance of getting individual feeds?
I am using SPB Insight as my news feed reader and have sucessfully subscribed to just the ones i need using varations on the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=312
All i did was change the number on the end to reflect the sub forum i wanted. 312 being the Trinity Upgrade Thread.
Is it be possible to be notified of all new posts, not just new threads ?
It would be nice if we could subscribe to specific threads as well It would be handy for the bigger topics (Kitchen threads etc).
rss of new posts, not only thread.
Not seen any answer to the same point posted couple of posts above.
Is it possibile to subscribe and get updats also for new posts, not only new threads?
Thx
Vic
Yes is it posssible to subscribe to a particular thread?
Yes, please... me too... if I could subscribe to specific threads, it'd be absolutely great!
Alternatively, I guess I can just reroute all email notifications from subscribed threads into my rss reader.. although the result won't look nearly as clean as if an RSS feed could just be directly tied to a subscribed thread..
Thanks!

some numbers for hermes Rss feeds : 305 -355 -306
some observation: the numbers are in order of creation of subtopics so there is a logic in it but no logic in it example: hermes WM6 thread opened much later than other hermes threads so its number is 355 the others are 305-306 are in order...
How do I see the newest post in each feed?
I seem to be able to get the first post in each feed, which is no good for me, considering some threads are 350+ posts long and I just want to read the last few posts in that thread.
Currently, I just keeping getting the first post over and over.
Hi folks,
I've added various forums (sub-forums?) to RSS Hub and it's working great apart from only showing me the 15 most recent new treads-can i increase this number?
I'm currently using URLs like this :

Thanks in advance!

RSS Subforum feeds don't work in Yahoo reader
For whatever reason, I'm not getting the subform listing to work with the RSS feed of Yahoo. Other RSS feeds work, including the RSS feed from the top-level (i.e., all new posts across all of XDA Developers).
I'm using the form of:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=419
Any ideas? Did this suddenly stop working?

Help wanted: the FAQ system

The wiki ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com ) contains a tiny start of what could become a very nice FAQ. I do not have time over the next weeks to expand what's there, and appeal to any and all with some time on their hands to please see if they can add structure, or just questions and their answers. Feel free to change it until it's good, that's what wikis are for.
Nice post peter
Question for you
How would you feel if you had spent over 2 months building a wiki for the blueangel, posting the files to the ftp site, to find that they got deleted on the 16 .
Pm 2 admins, one picking up the pm but not repliying, the orher not picking up the pm.
Rebuilding the trashed ftp site, re linking the wiki links, Posting to the ftp non public thread, reading that it will happen soon, watching the ftp site getting trashed again (today) and then reading your reqest?
Ps you have a pm from me datedted 16 march, feel like picking it up?
Why this beautifull FAQ (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel) is not visible for ordinary people? I found it by accident.
But it is!
Top of screen to the right is the link wiki.xda-developers.com
On that page under HTC Device you will find Blueangel
The Blueangel Link gets you to that page
Never thought that behind these WiKi activities this FAQ is hidden - put another link under this WiKi.XDA-devloppers.com link with something like "How Blue Angel works" or "Blue Angel FAQ" or "Knowledgebase". So a person who visits for the first time immediatly sees this fine product of hard labor.
What happen to the Magician section ? Are we being ignore ???
Well, I really love your job, however, my device is being left out !!
Wiki like the forum is user driven. In short if no user feels the need or want to update wiki then it just does not happen.
You dont need to be a moderator to add pages in wiki, you dont even need to be good in english for somebody down the line will add or correct your page.
I have to say - that's a real shame.
There's a lot of information requested on these forums that has been requested before - but often it's buried deep in a confusing thread (most recently the splash image tweaks for the HTC Wizard - I have no idea what util tweaks what splash).
I just created a Wiki page (search for my username, I guess - it's not really linked from anything much yet), and I plan to create more related to the Wizard as time becomes available.
Wikis are inherently much better at giving concise information than an open-discussion forum... wish people would use it.

Hi guys, is it possible to have access to google-analytics results? Since we need to know for what the users are looking for - the most common search, how they act in site (in wiki! and so on)
Then we can make THE wiki.
Posting to the ftp non public thread, reading that it will happen soon

Chome Action URL and icon number for IE

I'd like to edit or create a sliding panel in Ookba's latest EVO ROM release for IE. I have an idea of how to do it (or at least try) but would appreciate it if someone could post the action URL needed for IE and the icon/picture number. With those I think I can get into trouble on my own. I did a semi-serious search but didn't turn up anything that helped me out. Thanks in advance.
You guys are not following the rules!
This is a 3VO Rom question, and it should be posted in the proper thread , not make a new one.
All you guys are doing is making more clutter , more amount of results , when someone does a search. Please keep questions in the proper thread.

In genral the front page has become multiple "questions already answered" & "even non smartphone related outside of appropriate thread"
Yeah i'm b*chin
b.t.w roloracer your service icons look sweet
Okay, delete/move thread since I don't have the ability to do it.
Nailed On Da Cross !!! Lol
The funny thing is that in the time it took you to type up your admonishment I'd be willling to bet at least one of you (if not both) could have provided me with the info I'm looking for. Maybe a "Please keep all related threads together and by the way.." response. Just and idea. Everyone, including you, was a noob once.

[Q] Google Reader Sub Forum RSS?

I use the Xda App and its amazing, but I would like all the new post to appear in my news when I read them all, I subscribe by email but not fast enough or sometimes it doesnt appear. Any idea how I can do so with out subscribing to whole xda rss feed. Thanks

I'm looking for a solution to this too. So far I've been recommended FeedBurner, but that just works at the thread listing level. I'm looking to generate a RSS of the posts from within a thread... Anyone got any suggestions?
The two feeds that I've found that XDA generates are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765
(change 765 to the forum level that you want)...
But this still doesn't list from within threads....
super easy go to the sub-forum and click the RSS button on your browser to get RSS link. copy to Google Reader.
if you have chrome you can subscribe to Google reader with 2 clicks. Rss button> Subscribe.
Evo 4g dev

Nook Colour Dev.
http://www.google.com/reader/view/f...opers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=864
wow hard.
note: rss feeds show newly started THEADS, not new posts, nor does it "bump" up an older thread with new posts,
nor can you subscribe to a "Device" subforum as a whole ( general Q&A Dev and Apps together), only sub-forums OF the device ( general, q&A ect SEPARATELY for each device)
Thanks trusselo, I found the regular RSS feeds as I said in my post. It's whether or not there is one for within the forum thread itself; and it appears there is not. I've tried various sites to dynamically generate a RSS from a web page, but they are terrible and syndicate a whole bunch of useless data.
Has anyone managed to use a third party site to generate a clean and usable RSS feed of posts within a sub forum?

I am not aware of a feed of posts, due to the huge number of posts you will see... New threads is all that rss covers afaik

Ye I was thinking that, but at the same time an RSS of thread data would be no more than what each page generates in standard forum HTML, especially if the feed was paginated with around 10-20 posts per page, like the thread pages are now.
I'll put it in as a feature request and see what happens in the future.

Forum RSS feeds

Sorry for the stupid question, i'm sure the forums had RSS links for each individual section of the forum but I can't seem to find it any more.
Could someone point me in the right direction or have they been removed?
anyone?
For some reason we don't have an icon for it.
Here's the URL for this forums' RSS feed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=263
Just replace the forumids=xxx with the forumId of the one you want to subscribe to.
Thanks
Dave
thanks, just what I was after
I've searched through the XDA archives but can't find any way to subscribe to an individual thread (not just forum ID) via RSS. Is this something that currently works?
Thanks.

Hi lio, thanks for that. I'm still trying to generate an RSS feed for within a thread though. So for instance I'm trying to get a feed for the following thread data:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765
... and feedburner gives me the following two feeds:
Code:
xda-developers - Desire HD Android Development - RSS Feed: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765[/url]
xda-developers RSS Feed: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2[/url]
... both of which are not generating from within the thread, they're just listing the different forums themselves. If you see what I mean?
These links no longer work
Is there some other link that we can use?

I know this is an old thread, but I'd settle for an RSS of my "Subscribed Threads & Forums" page. That alone would be enough for me...

Seems no viable solution exists...
I too would like this. I see XDA has their own feed reader app for the forum. Maybe they disabled RSS feeds so that we'd be forced to use their app so they can make $$? Kind of gay, RSS feeds allow me to check multiple forums from one list on one app.
Closest thing I found searching the forums is this: https://feeds.feedburner.com/xda-developers/ and maybe it can be modified to show the forum that you want?
