Rss feed url?

Hi people,

I want to show the recent posts/discussions of my forum with an rss feed, but what is the rss feed url of my forum?

Thanks

    @Alexander25 it should be: http://yoursite/discussions/feed.rss

    Most recent Webbrowsers show you a RSS-Button if a RSS-Feed is being found on the page. You can check this in the Source of your page when searching for
    type="application/rss+xml"
    (In my Vanilla 2 RC2 Installation, this is one of the very top lines on the Discussions page)
  • Great! Thanks alot!
  • Hi again.

    I can't get it working.

    The link is http://www.betexcellence.com/community/discussions

    and I can see the rss button, but if I press the button I get an error. Maybe you could please tell what might be wrong?

    Thanks

  • Any news on this one?
  • Is this still broken or am I doing something wrong?

  • ^^ Ditto. Seems to still be a problem (View not found) when clicking on the rss icons which are available by default next to categories?

    @mattchatterley‌ I am not seeing this issue on 2.1. What version are you using?

  • @hgtonight 2.1 as well - very odd, but good to know it works for someone else therefore it's either because of my installation (unlikely?), or my custom theme (more likely!) - the URL being generated checks out, but it seems like the template for the feeds is missing - will be investigating more as soon as I've ticked a couple of urgent items off the todo list!

    @mattchatterley‌ revert to the baseline+ theme and verify it doesn't work there.

    Yes, try a different theme, and or disable plugins one by one to see if it improves.

    do you get something like this when you click on feed buttons when debugging.

    if so check your plugins and themes and the files in conf/folder

    e.g.

    if you have a blank line before the opening php in any file (not good)
    
    `<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();`
    
    
    or a closing ?>  at the bottom of file  (not good)
    
    ?>  at the end of any file in a plugin  you will break the rss feeds.
    

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

  • Alas, doesn't work with Baseline+ either, I get "Whoops! View not found.", with the following debug output/trace:

    Trace

    0 /var/www/hive.cbscustomerservices.com/library/core/class.controller.php(898): NotFoundException('View')

    1 /var/www/hive.cbscustomerservices.com/applications/vanilla/controllers/class.categoriescontroller.php(270): Gdn_Controller->FetchViewLocation('helper_function...', 'categories')

    and

    ViewLocation(): array (

    in applications/vanilla/controllers/class.categoriescontroller.php(270):

    what does it say at line 270

    does line 270 say

     include_once $this->FetchViewLocation('helper_functions', 'categories');
    

    not sure why it is looking for helper_functions_rss - did you modify anything in the core?

  • It's:

    include_once $this->FetchViewLocation('helper_functions', 'categories');
    

    Which seems to be right.

    library/core/class.controller.php seems to add the _rss (in the definition of FetchViewLocation), so I'd assumed that was the right behaviour and the files are just missing.

    Definitely haven't modified anything in core! :)

  • I don't know why its doing that

    just for a n experiment you could clone a copy

    applications/vanilla/views/categories/helper_functions.php

    to

    applications/vanilla/views/categories/helper_functions_rss.php
