HOWTO: RSS Feeds for UNIX Forums

If you want to submit your favorite UNIX.COM forum to RSS news feeds registries or directories, here is how:

The top level RSS link to the UNIX forums is:

http://www.unix.com/external.php

This is the default for the RSS type, which is:

http://www.unix.com/external.php?type=RSS

(There is also type JS for Java Script and XML)

If you are interested in a specific forum RSS, you can add the forum ID, for example, the main "Dummies" forum ID is 2, so:

http://www.unix.com/external.php?forumids=2

The forum ID can be found in the URL (f=2) for example.

Feel free to submit your favorite UNIX forum to any RSS registry and post back where you submitted our news feed.

# Enable External Javascript
This setting allows you to enable/disable the Javascript content syndication system that allows you to embed vBulletin data in HTML pages.

If you set this option to 'yes', you can call it by going to:
http://www.unix.com/external.php?type=js

You could use javascript directly in your html pages to control the returned data.

# Enable RSS Syndication
This setting allows you to enable/disable the RSS content syndication system.

If you set this option to 'yes', you can call it by going to:
http://www.unix.com/external.php?type=rss

(example) There is a news-plugin for Trillian which lets you use RSS feeds to get the latest information posted in your trillian program.

# Enable XML Syndication
This setting allows you to enable/disable the XML content syndication system.

If you set this option to 'yes', you can call it by going to:
http://www.unix.com/external.php?type=xml
Thanks and Have Fun,
