Syndication extension (RSS & Atom feeds)

Alkir

Please add Russian language

Alkir you can add yourself with Linguist extension.

Alkir I don't speak russian. But if you provide a translation file (you can use the English language as a template), I'll happily add it to the extension.

Alkir I tried to add it to the root of the extension itself, but after adding to the site, a 500 error occurs

You may have a YAML formatting error. You can check your file here.

010101 If it's only a warning, it will not break any aggregator. In fact, most of the RSS feeds are invalid, so modern aggregators are pretty resilient to errors. A slash won't scare them off. This being said, I may fix this in a close-future update (because I'm a perfectionist). So, thanks for the patch 🙂 .

nitaaikumar AmauryPi Is it possible to also have a feed for the recent posts in all the discussions just like the comments feed in Wordpress for regular members to keep in touch via the RSS feeds in something like Feedly reader? Thanks.

Something like https://your-forum.eu/atom (or /rss)? If I understand correctly, it's already available 🙂 .

Alkir You can't add with FTP. I told you, install with composer Linguist extension and translate words. After than, clear cache.

nitaaikumar AmauryPi Thanks for such an awesome extension. Now we can finally use Google Feedburner to give an email newsletter subscription of all the new discussions with unlimited subscriber facility for free, even to non-registered members.

Thank you!

nitaaikumar There is one issue. The html5 videos which I embed via the autovideo of the Formatting extension are not responsive in the feed. They are getting cut off on the right. This was the css which fixed it:

video {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}

How can we make this same css work for your feeds so that the videos are fixed in the feeds, email newsletters and on feedly.com reader too?

I'm afraid we cannot add CSS into the RSS/Atom feeds. Or, you can, but only for users viewing the RSS feed directly in their browsers (and it's less and less supported). If Feedly or FeedBurner can inject CSS, add it there. But there is nothing I can do…

nitaaikumar Also, any plans to add podcast support in the feeds so that we can submit podcast feeds of a Video tag to the Apple directory etc? It should be quite simple to add. Even Wordpress.com feeds have that. I can donate for your time to add podcast functionality please, because our visitors really like a way to listen and watch our meditation podcasts in their default podcast app after downloading them offline in the podcast apps and also be notified about new episodes, and also continue watching from where they left off in their favorite podcast app. We self-host our videos and audios so this will be great blessing for us. Thanks again for updating it.

It was not planned, but it can be done (donations would be appreciated for the time). One thing: in your perspective, from where the podcast file (MP3, MP4, …) should be extracted? Something like the first non-image media in the post?

I'm interested to make a fork of this to integrate it with the Mason and Gamification extentions. I'm new to Composer and Packagist, so is there anything in particular I should be aware of? What about in making one extention interract with another?

I'm looking to add settings to select Mason fields you want in the RSS feed, and to assemble a new feed based on either trending discussions or discussions that exceed a certain ranking.

I installed this plugin and was initially confused that my feeds were empty, but then realised that was because my forum is set to only show posts to members. Would it be possible to have a permission setting to show posts in the feeds, but not to logged-out visitors of the website? Of course that would mean the posts are not really private, but I'd like this good-enough security-through-obscurity option.

An alternative would be to have members-only feeds, but I guess that would be more work.

Does it work well on Flarum 0.1.0-beta.12? I feed my website, but noting happens😂.

tolgaaaltas

Star yep, working.

Star

tolgaaaltas I don't think I'm wrong for setting it, do I?

Because CSS?

While I do really like this extension and basically works fine, it does have one privacy impact: I'm also using https://discuss.flarum.org/d/4762-friendsofflarum-by-bu-well-integrated-advanced-private-discussions to allow users to make private discussion. As this is solved basically using a special primary tag, it is also being listed in the RSS/Atom feed and therefore leaking also private discussions from users.

I'd really like having the functionality for excluding specific tags to workaround this.

010101 I applied to the Google news application, the rss plugin made some bugs and I added your edits. You saved me from a big trouble right now. Thank you.

I want to add this tag to existing files. Can you guide me for this?

<enclosure url="http://example.com/file.mp3" length="123456789" type="audio/mpeg">

Is someone using this extension successfully with Beta 13?

@SezginYILDIRIM I just saw that you use this extension in your forum https://bumm.buzz.

Are you on Beta 13? What did you do to make this extension work for you?

Silverteal

Hi All! I installed this and it's working great. Here's what I'm trying to do.

I have a main WordPress website that's separate from the forum, and am using a RSS feed grabber to display the forum discussions on the main site.

The problem that I've already realized is that I don't want to display all of the topics... because someone can login, create something horrible like "This website sucks" and it would then appear on the main site.

So I thought hey--I'll use the ability to only display topics with a certain tag. Thankfully this extension supports that (/rss/t/MyTag) -- which does work great. Anyway, I went into my Flarum and added a new tag called "Featured" but it shows up everywhere. So that means anyone could tag their post with "Featured" and it would show up on the home page of the main site.

Not what I want!

Is there another way to handle this type of situation with this extension and Flarum?

TIA!

Yes, you can restrict posting to that tag "Featured" to only Admins.
In the Admin panel, under Permissions, add a Restrict by tag for the tag Featured

And allow only admins to;

Start discussions
Start discussions without approval

Note: This would restrict members and all other groups except Admin from starting discussions under that tag.

As a workaround, you can add the "Featured" tag to discussions started by others to make it appear in the RSS feeds.

But the timing is very important as very old discussions would not be grabbed by your RSS feed grabber if for example your RSS feed grabber fetches the last 10 posts and the discussion you just added a "Featured" tag to is older than the last 10 discussions.

Edit:
I just say your duplicate post.

I tried Permissions > Restrict by Tag, however that removes the topics tagged entirely.

Still in Permissions under "Featured" tag change "View discussions" to Everyone or Members as you wish.

Go through other Permissions there and tweak it to your desired effect.
