Re: RSS for the 2+2 Forum
I would rather have the text of the message in the rss reader. I don't like the feeds that require me to click to view the message. But who knows what 2+2 would want.

Re: RSS for the 2+2 Forum
Finally got this working, been a bit busy with proper work the last couple of weeks.
I didn't have any offers to host the application generating the RSS files, so I'm going to try running it over my DSL line from home. On a crappy old Pentium III that's been gathering dust under my bed for a year or so. I can't see this being adequate if there are a lot of users, but only one way to find out... Just reinstalling Windows now, should be ready to use in a few hours. So - suggestions for a few forums to start off with? Will hopefully do all of them eventually, but just want to run with a few for the first week to get an idea of traffic/disk space use etc etc. |

Re: RSS for the 2+2 Forum
Well, that seems to be unanimous :-)
I'll get the URLs for those up on here in the morning. The rusty old Pentium III installed XP successfully. It occurred to me tonight that I could programmatically upload the RSS files to my ISP webspace to avoid the traffic issue. If anyone has an FTP class for C#, get in touch - it seems not to be included in the .NET framework... EDIT - any COM object or .NET assembly would do equally well, obviously. |

Re: RSS for the 2+2 Forum
One table: http://twoplustwo.gotdns.org/onetable.xml
Software: http://twoplustwo.gotdns.org/1.xml (this filename will change later today) Others to follow later - can't configure the forum list remotely from work yet. Need to change from RSS 0.91 to 2.0, the 15-item restriction in 0.91 is having some odd effects when an old thread gets added to and joins the front page for its forum... |

Re: RSS for the 2+2 Forum
It'll be off overnight (UK time) for a few days until I can move it to somewhere in the house that it doesn't keep me awake! [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Re: RSS for the 2+2 Forum
Is anyone besides myself using this? It works great on my BlackBerry device.
Only one complaint...the book and software forums do not seem to be updated correctly. Troll...care to share the source code? |

[/ QUOTE ] I noticed that too - which forums are covered is all database-driven, so just some setting wrong there I should think. I'll take a look over the weekend, hopefully get the PC moved to somewhere it can stay switched on 24/7 too. [ QUOTE ] Troll...care to share the source code? [/ QUOTE ] I'll zip it all up onto the webserver over the weekend. Still a lot of tidying up to be done, paid work has been taking priority recently! |
