This is smokin...

what does this do ? what's the idea

This code will take your forum posts and feed them to other sites just like a rss news feed to other sites.

I been emailing back and fourth with the guy who hacked the code above which btw is bundled in the nukecops package.
http://snaps.nukecops.com/

I found this download on e-xoops.com and wondered why XOOPS doesn't offer this. The problem is the file put up for download over at e-xoops must have been mixed up with the nukecops file. So im hopeing the guy who made a mod on the code above will show up here and post the hack!

Here's my rss.php that I created and am using.

Basically, its an atonomous rss file. Should work with newbb, newbb_plus (currently the default) and phpBB with a little tweaking.

It doesn't have a config file or anything and requires a little coding unless you have newbb_plus, but it works rather well and is simple.

Check it out at this url: (rssid is the forum id)
http://www.aquariaphile.com/rss.php?rssid=1

Here's the code:

include("mainfile.php");
$rssid = $_GET['rssid'];
$prefix = $xoopsConfig['prefix'];
header("Content-Type: text/xml");
echo "

http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/modules/newbb_plus/viewforum.php?forum=".$rssid."
".$meta['description']."
en-us
";

$result = mysql_query("SELECT topic_id,subject,post_text,type,post_time FROM ".$prefix."_bbplus_posts where forum_id=$rssid ORDER BY post_time DESC LIMIT 30");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$realtime = formatTimestamp($row["post_time"], "m");
echo "


http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=".$row["topic_id"]."&forum=".$rssid."
".$row["post_text"]."
".$row["type"]."
$realtime
";
}
echo "


";
?>

Micaheli thank you for your time and posting the code above. Now to get this working with XOOPS 2...

(okay)
I converted all the new_bb refrences in micaheli post above but have not been able to get this code working yet on 2.0.5.x ????

I did get newbb_plus installed on my e-xoops site. Then set up micaheli's code and it works fine. I have a feed going from my e-xoops site to one of my XOOPS sites. Would anyone care to take a shot at this? Im missing something.

Newbb_plus is one cool module that should be ported over to XOOPS 2. You can use phpbb themes infact the newbb_plus when installed has two themes with it. (very sweet)

Hello

I'm trying to get this to work with the pbboard but I just get 'feed contains no items' when accessed through rss reader. Any ideas?

include("mainfile.php");
$rssid = $_GET['rssid'];
$prefix = $xoopsConfig['prefix'];
header("Content-Type: text/xml");
echo "

http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/modules/pbboard/viewforum.php?forum=".$rssid.

"
".$meta['description']."
en-us
";

$result = mysql_query("SELECT topic_id,subject,post_text,type,post_time FROM

".$prefix."_xpbb_posts where forum_id=$rssid ORDER BY post_time DESC LIMIT 30");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$realtime = formatTimestamp($row["post_time"], "m");
echo "


http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/modules/pbboard/viewtopic.php?topic_id=".$row["topic_i

d"]."&forum=".$rssid."
".$row["post_text"]."
".$row["type"]."
$realtime
";
}
echo "


";
