What RSS forum feeds are available?

someguy · 13-02-2009, 12:51:27 AM

Looking at: www.acorndomains.co.uk/external.php?type=RSS2

It just shows the feed for one forum.

Is it possible to watch other areas via RSS? I know this is, technically, available via vBulletin - but I was wondering if it could be turned on?

Its possible yes, but I would have to tell you the forum numbers (since I convert them to SEO friendly tags).

Is there a particular forum(s) or do I need to list them all?

Hi Admin, that would be great. In particular these 3:

Premium Domain Names
Fixed Price Domain Names For Sale
Domain Name Auctions or Offers Invited

I viewed the HTML source of the premium domain forum and found the RSS link is there:
http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/extern...mp;forumids=91

But that doesn't work - it just shows you the new posts RSS feed. I tried this in other forums and it had the same result. Is it possible to turn per-forum feeds on in AdminCP?

Thanks

It's always been enabled, it the link that's wrong, try this:
Domain Name Forum Acorn Domains Buy Sell Trade UK Domain Names - Premium Domain Names

Fixed Price Domains:
http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=92

Domain Name Auctions or Offers Invited:
http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=93

or put "=91,92,93" if you want to see them all in one.

I hadn't thought about that, I changed them so they aren't visible by guests (and therefore Google etc.) as members requested, but it seems this blocks the RSS too.

Anyone know if there is a setting to change this?

Id noticed that recently you had to log in to see the sales forums, a real pain in the arse as far as im concerned.

I spend 95% of my time on here logged out which was the way I liked it, plus how are non members supposed to be enticed to join if they cant see whats for sale or how to sell?

admin · 12-07-2009, 12:01:11 PM

I did post about it to tell everyone. I had loads of requests to do this and know I can never please everyone.

The concensus was that most sales here are between domain traders who dont want the sales visible in Google as it could inhibit a decent end-user price sale value.

You can login and still be "hidden"
