RSS Feeds of Threads

craigp84 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-22-2007

Hi Guys,

With the RSS feeds of new threads added to the forums, would it be possible to include the text of the post in the RSS body?

This means that i wouldn't have to keep clicking "view site" to see what the thread's about from my rss aggregator.

I've included 2 x screenshots below that hopefully show what i'm after. One is how the unix.com shows up, and one is how another forum subscription (Ubuntu GNU/Linux in this case) shows up.

Unix.com is an excellent site. This feature would just save me some time and repeated, monotonous clicking :-).

Cheers,

Hi Craig,

I have the same issue with the RSS feeds we are importing. Great suggestion. We will look into it and see how to correct this. Thanks again.

Hi Craig,

You should update the url for the UNIX.com feed to be the following:
http://www.unix.com/external.php?type=rss2

Neo, the feeds we are importing explicitly truncate the output after a couple of lines, it is designed specifically to force you to visit the sites.
