Has the DOCs for RSS implimentation be created yet?
DM suggested I look back thru the message base to find out what I need
and this didn't yeild much.
He has it set up on his system as I donwloaded (recieved) about 9
messages the first request I sent. Since then, nothing has come thru. I
set up my newsreader (Opera) to fetch every three hours.
But I would like to try to set this up on the Bits-N-Bytes BBS.
DM suggested I should have ctrl/rss.ini installed and provided an
example. I copied his for mine - knowing it would fail and hopefully
provide some details on how to fix it.
In the other places that have RSS feeds a link is provided. That link
when installed into a rssreader scans the source for NEW messages.
[Stop me where I error]
The firs (in []) is the name of the RSS channel. The "sub" value is the
internal code of the sub-board.
> [syncanno]
> sub=syncanno
> title=Synchronet
> image_link=
http://BNB.synchro.net
Since I don't yet have the sub syncanno, this would be the first error.
(I fail to devern any significance in his sub title, so I will create
one using something different
> [syncanno] <--- Is this critical?
> sub=syncanno <-- I can alter this one I think
> title=Synchronet <-- This one too...?
> image_link=
http://BNB.synchro.net <-- just have to wait and see
what this will produce.
I guess anywhere I want to create the SUB will be fine(??)
OK... I just made a NEW message group for the occasion. RSS of course
and the sole sub is of course RSS.
I need to make a test message of some sort.
OK short test message in place...
Now what? Try to scan the feed again.
Opps forgot the RSS.INI file..
It now reads:
[syncanno] <-- Still dunno what significance this holds
sub=RSS
title=BNB news and Views
image_link=
http://BNB.synchro.net
Well that's what I figured out on my own. It didn't produce any messages
in any logs I can find. Although loging is mentioned I cannot infer it's
location.
And that's as far as MY javascript understanding takes me.
You can only call me a dumbass IF you can help fix this.
