I just spent a while figuring out how to add RSS feeds to C4G forum which is running SMF (simplemachines.org) Forum software so I figure I'd share it with anybody interested.
First off, this assumes you are using FeedBurner (C4G Thread Here)
Here's a basic RSS link that can be inputted into FeedBurner
http://code4gold.com/forums/index.php?action=.xml;sa=recent;board=0;limit=10;type=rss
That will pull the last 10 posts on your forum as your feed but suppose you want to only pull posts from a specific folder ??? For example, if I only wanted posts in the autosurf folder....That's easy...
http://code4gold.com/forums/index.php?action=.xml;sa=recent;board=4;limit=10;type=rss
The link above will pull the 10 most recent posts from board 4 which on Code4Gold Forum is the "Paid AutoSurf and Manual Surf Programs" folder here on this forum.
Once you know how to setup your RSS links you're ready to add them to FeedBurner and get ready to see a lot of new traffic to your forum !!!

| Actually, if you're going to generate RSS from your SMF forum , you might want to alter the source code to make the RSS a little more SEO friendly. I noticed Google was indexing a lot of individual posts here on this forum and that's not exactly what I wanted to happen. After digging through the different source files I'm used to editing such as boardindex, messageindex and display, I realized the foul links were coming from the RSS feed. |
