RSS feed?

[mats.hogberg]

I love those RSS feeds - Wouldn't it be cool with "New/updated tool at VideoHelp" scrolling by in the status bar? Maybe even new topics, or (the best) alerts for new posts in topics I'm watching (not sure if the latter is at all possible,as it has to be personalized).

Tool RSS feed

That's what I was thinking. Expensive and hard.

Is that for the tool/software itself or the effort involved? If it is the tool can you elaborate on what could be on offer?

[mats.hogberg]

Jeezuz! It's just an XML document, and well documented at that. I'm sure it can be hacked even in PHP. (Was thinking about RSS for a customer site - that's why I got interested in the technology, but the professional me is all .net, I'm afraid - else I'd gradly donate my efforts (if it comes to that))

0.91 looks easiest

[mats.hogberg]

That's where I've been looking too. Yes, 0.91 is easier to create, but once you dive into 1.0, it's not that much more complex.

@mats.hogberg

infoRSS Is clean software? No spy ware or anything?\

Thanks

[shoozleboy]

can I set it up to look at a specific forum or forums only?

Here's what I see on My Yahoo (uses rss feeds):



BTW, great work guys! I love the rss feed technology....

[mats.hogberg]

Nope. (It's for FireFox, for Gods sake! )

[mats.hogberg]

Here's another one, standalone, that puts a scrolling banner at the screen edge (top, left, right or bottom). Also free, no malware attached, AFAIK.

Excellent Baldrick!!

KlipFolio has to be worth a shot as a client... Can be silient until an string match is made.... i.e Alerts only on your own string matches (the tickertape clients are overload to me....)

The XML (https://www.videohelp.com/rss/forum.php?user=yourusername)
<link>http://www.videohelp.com.com/forum</link>

In the <link> section there is a second .com

[ChrissyBoy]

@Baldrick: How about forum.php?f=forumID for focusing on "favourite" forum?

[Baldrick]

compuser: fixed.

https://www.videohelp.com/rss/forum.php?forum=37 for svcd2dvd forum
https://www.videohelp.com/rss/forum.php?forum=6 off topic forum
