RSS Forum Feeds? - About xda-developers.com

Hey, is it possible to get RSS feeds for the forums? I think there is a phpBB feature for that. I think it'll be very useful for all of us.
Thanks!

Yes I would be VERY interesting in this too !

WiKi's RSS is using "Dublin Core" extension (http://purl.org/rss/1.0), so you need a RSS Reader with such support.
I'm using Opera 8.1 and it works well for such RSS and as a bonus it works well with ATOM feeds, unfortunately there is a bug in Opera when dealing with ATOM feeds. It doesn't show the actual posted dates. But I think it is fixed already in the latest opera...

I'm using rss from several phpBB based boards so it's possible, though I don't know how. But someone has to put a little time in it.
So pls pls pls...pls

Does WiKi's RSS work for you? (URL for subscription: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RecentChanges&format=rss)

Not sure :-( it says 0/0. At the moment I'm using Skookum v2.0.0.0, which can keep me up-to-date with podcasts as well. It's still under development & it's free. Can't remember wether it worked with HappyJackRoad PoketRss, my trial has expired & I wasn't completely pleased with it so unmilling to pay for it.
If one of you know a great PocketRss reader I'm pleased to hear. In the meantime I'm going to pm Peter Poelman to ask for the implementation of rss feeds on the board, maybe it works.

zscreen scrape
in the mean time, someone could do a screen scrape every hour or so on the latest news on the home page.
how do xda dev people feel about that though.
it's not something that's looked on favourably by most people.

Well scrape could be better than nothing. But for the moment I'm going to wait for Peter's answer.
M

wiki rss
Switched from Skookum to Newsbreak (trial) via A6.times (didn't work) & Newsbreak does pick-up the wiki rss messages
No answer from Peter till now.
M

yeah, having it for the wiki is neat, but I want it for the forums. I tried /external.php, which is what most of these forums use, it doesn't exist.

The reference /rss.php isn't working either.
Peter Poelman has received my question from the May 27th this week, no answer yet. Guess he's not to interested in it. Too bad I think it's really convenient to view the forum with rss. I use it for other fora too.
M

Please Peter, try to make RSS work on the forum.
It would be so nice to get all the new topics in my newsreader, instead of browsing to the site every hour. :roll:

I use A6 Times and Wiki RSS works fine.

@ MDANavymom: Maybe I'll give it another try to see where I went wrong in a few weeks or so. First I go on holiday for three weeks.
Pity Peter didn't respond to my PM, maybe he gets thousands of them a day, I don't know ...
@ JonTheNiceGuy: no PM, but if you're capable of getting us the rss, I would certainly be very pleased.
Regards, M

Guys, can you give this a go. I probably need to tweak the format etc.

V,
It shows nicely all the topics the hyperlinks are working, all I'm lacking is the body of the post itself. But for a scrape it's a very good start to maybe having it all
Great job again V, really appreciate it.

Dont follow the directions you find with google (using the promo code DFPRESS) just sign up for MS beta's with your live account and then put those same details into the deepfish download section. I got a code first time and second time(2 pda's). No i wont give one to you. I dont know what all the fuss is anyway. Its not that good.

Yeah, I just signed up again today and got an activation code about an hour ago. So, I'm sure they're giving them out pretty liberally. But I'm with you, I'm not a huge fan of it (so far). It is somewhat difficult and clumsy to use. But hey, it is in it's earliest beta stages, so I'm sure it'll better later on.
dont waste your time with deepfish ...
"As a technology preview, Deepfish is early in its development cycle (still a few releases from beta quality). As a result some features are not implemented or are only partially implemented. Currently, the technology preview does not support ActiveX controls, AJAX, cookies, Javascript, and HTTP POST."
Its crap if u dont have all those "standard" features that a browser should have...
No java? no activeX? no cookies? Then it obviously is worthless
i just tried it. i get more stuffs done using PIE or opera mobile!
Turds!!

Your sarcasm radar must be on passive and set to low sensitivity. Also, don't confuse postcount for being a n00b.. ever consider that lurkers don't post because they might not have any questions they need to ask?

Thank you, I have been dealing with palm and pocket pc for a long, long time. My first PDA was a Pilot 1000. I have been lurking in this forum for a long time. I have learned a lot in my years from this forum and others. I am a beta tester for a few well known software’s. So please don't let my post count make a fool out of you.

The internet is courage juice to some people. I think the ones that are most unnecessarily sarcastic on here, are probably the ones who used to get slapped upside the head by bullies all thru their high school years, and now have found a channel thru xda to vent their anger loll!

Sadly that promo hasn't worked for me on any of the 5 accounts I registered for most of which were done yesterday afternoon when that was posted.
Thanks though for the assist and I'll have to sit tight for a bit until they release further codes to test with.

It's only because I'm on furlough from work for a few weeks. Hopefully, I won't be bugging anyone in a while. Thanks, though.
And about the radio links, these are just what I had on my phone. I'd been avoiding this thread for a while because I didn't want to copy them all and re-type them out. Didn't seem like there were going to be that many responses, so I finally broke down and did it.
I'm a pretty helpless human but I still like my sig telling people to go play in traffic. I appreciate the informative radio info. I sometimes need a daily laugh so sometimes it's entertaining to read a noob thread. I think if a mod is ever elected they should create a "Noob" of the day thread. You must award where credit is due lol.
Have a wonderful day everyone.

SE PlayNow site down, what now? Any clues?

Hello,
since a few weeks now the SE website and phone links (that are built in by SE) cannot connect to the SE Server anymore. At least for the Xperia X1 and X2.
Anybody knows a way to connect to them? The wap.se site comes up with "Old device....forget about it". So that is a no go.
I would want some panels and also the WATERLEVEL java program for the X2.
That one is for TouchScreen. The 2 different ones floating around on the internet are for older devices.
Also, I would like to get some games and panels for the X1 too.
Perhaps somebody has those jar/jad files for the waterlevel for X2???
Thanks in advance.
What about using google? It took me at least 30 seconds to google what you are asking for. I mean it's not that hard

or http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/corporate/products/phoneportfolio/specification/xperiax2
Are you trying to be funny or plain ignorant?
How about you read my post again and if you have anything useful, like a solution to the questions there.... let me and the rest of us know.
But don't put up some .... google crap that gives specs of the phones. Dude, I have them both and know the specs!
Waste of time

Here is a Thread with Panels they are confused in the posts. You have to read every post. But that was something I found.
Good Luck finding the right Panel for X1
Here are both version: one for WinMo with accelerometer and the second for WaterLevel jar/jad

Just subscribe to the forum. Then it'll show up in your UserCP. That way you've got direct access to it. You subscribe to a foum the same way as subscribing to a thread, by toggling the Forum Tools drop box and clicking Subscribe.
Yeah I just thought that would be another option

I'm trying to finish up the last of my work early so I can get out a celebrate. I'm still in WM. I can't seem to leave. I've got AmericanAndroid on my Leo, but Android still isn't for me. WP7 is way too limited for my liking as well. Glad I could help out again.

Feedback for Most-Thanked Widget

On XDA, sometimes you come across a thread with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of replies. Most normal humans don't have the time to read through such a large number of replies in order to find the most useful posts. Today, we're making it much easier for you to find the best replies that get buried within a thread. Introducing the Most-Thanked Widget. It lives in the sidebar (of the 2013 theme) and displays which posts have received the most amount of Thanks. It's divided into All-Time and Recent to help you find the most timely and useful posts. You can help make the Most-Thanked widget even better by being sure to use the Thanks button whenever you spot a useful post across the XDA Forums.
A few other details:
Right now, the Most-Thanked widget is only available for logged-in members as we tweak its performance. However, we'll soon be rolling it out to guests
The widget ignore post 1, because most people know that post 1 often contains the most useful information; we didn't want to be redundant
All members are limited to eight Thanks per day. Use your Thanks wisely!
The Most-Thanked widget is a work in progress! We'll be tweaking its logic over the coming weeks and months to make it as useful as possible. Thanks for your patience. Feel free to provide some feedback here
What a sexy idea.

^^ Glad to see I'm not the only one who's still on the 2010 theme then It's so much nicer and more user friendly IMO.
Great idea, brilliant for overcrowded threads. Could you add an "option" or tab to leave out the posts by the OP? Having the posts has both advantages and disadvantages, as the users tend to thank the OP a lot. On the other hand, the OP only posts updates, so not having their post in the tab would be bad. That's why you should add a choice, best for both Maybe just limit the no. of posts by OP to 1 or 2
Great idea. Thanks for this svetius.
I'm finding it a little bit laggy at the moment but I'd figure that's just because it's only just been implemented. It's not a major lag though
''Evil corrupts the mind of the weak but fails to feed off the mind of the strong''
Yeah this is an awesome idea, but any way to integrate it into the XDA 2010 them for those of us who don't like the 2013 one?

I think they'll probably see how it goes for now and then think about implementing it to a previous version.
''Evil corrupts the mind of the weak but fails to feed off the mind of the strong''
It's a cool idea and even nicer to see I'm in both all time top 5's of the ICS and JB version of the ROM I support
Only niggle for me is that it takes the place of the existing widget (messages/threads/forums) so you have to go back out of the thread to then see your subscribed threads again. I use this to navigate the threads I want to read as have links to all the forums I moderate so not too bothered about those. Would be cool to have a subscription (or whatever you want to call it) and thanks tab or something along those lines so you can then still have quick access to both when in a thread.
As for those still preferring the 2010 theme, once you're used to it the 2013 theme is so much nicer to use and I've never viewed the portal as much as I do now thanks to the 5 most recent posts always being shown on the sidebar. I love it!

i wish both widgets exist in that side bar.. as its not already full and we can have both with leftover space in right side panel..
sir.. great idea.. thanks for this.. as its new i know it might have bugs..
so it seems there is a bug.. if the posts shown dont have titles.. then the title if its there for above post in thanks widget is shown for the below one too.. which is kinda annoying.. as they might be totally unrelated posts.. also some posts shown in widget doesnt have appropriate link to the actual post when clicked..
also 1 suggestion: please provide the message,threads,forums widget inside threads too along with this widget.. it helps a lot..
thanks for the widget again..
Edit: oops.. sorry for second post.. i could have edit the above one. i forgot that i wrote.

It's a preference thing. I've used the 2013 and it's too busy for me, I like the cleaner brown with a portal button at the top left if I want to view portal stories (which I do daily) I can go there.
I don't ever see me moving to the 2013 theme and I really hope they integrate this most thanked post feature into the 2010 theme because it's a really useful feature.
