When this page is posted on the server, and linked to through an RSS reader (I use Thunderbird)
It shows up within the group as it's own feed, RSS FEED NAME, with one item in the list: TOPIC TITLE
So, that's a good start...
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>RSS FEED NAME</title>
<description>This is a description for the RSS reader to display</description>

</rss>What would be super cool, would be a way to use PHP's <? echo $result("Title"); ?> or some XML equivalent that would allow this template to grab threads from my database, and create multilpe items.
Is this the norm for creating feeds? I have read a bunch of verbose codes that have a lot going on. This is the most concise, http://timvw.madoka.be/programming/php/rss.txt, and even it has 4 includes.
If anyone has had this thought, and been able to merge the two, could you please fill me in on the union? Thanks a lot!
