Felicifia's RSS Feed

Postby RyanCarey on 2009-07-09T12:14:00

As you probably know, Felicifia has an RSS feed. Here is a video that explains what RSS feeds are and how you can make use of them:


At Felicifia in particular, our RSS feed consists of our posts. So using your reader, you can check the latest from BBC, Slashdot, Dilbert and so on at the same time as you check for replies to your thread at Felicifia.

If you choose to view Felicifia through Google reader, here’s how you do it.
1. Log in to Google Reader using a Google Account. (if you do not yet have a google account, click the "create an account" button)
2. Click the orange RSS button at the very bottom of felicifia.org, center-aligned.

(If you can’t see it there, go to the User Control Panel then Board Preferences and set the style to Nexus and try again)
3. Select your reader

4. Select Google Reader

When I click on the RSS icon, Firefox displays the open/save dialogue box for the file type "application/rss+xml." If instead I copy the link location and add it manually to Google Reader by clicking the "Add a subscription button," it works, except the most recent post is from February ("French-language sêction? by Arepo (Posted Wed Feb 09, 2011 8:12 pm)). Does anybody else have this problem?

Thanks for pointing out this problem, Pat. I've replicated the error.

Our RSS feed must've acquired this error during an upgrade. I've made this my next priority, so within about a week I'll either fix it or explain why I can't.

I've updated the RSS feed. Let me know whether or not it's working as you expect!

Minor quibble: The RSS feed reader lists the email address of the user who did the post, so like:

blahblahblah@hotmail.co.uk (Gedusa)


This doesn't actually bother me, but it might bother others, especially as the feed-reader is showing info that isn't on people's public profiles. It could just be my reader though.

Thanks Gedusa. I've started to investigate this problem.

edit: I've altered the rss.php file. Is it working for you now?
