Hello there, i have worked a system to follow forum posts on Twitter, here are the currently supported threats:
XDA Twitter for Front Page forum: xda_developers
XDA Twitter for Kaiser General forum: xda_kaiser
Each one is updated every hour getting the last RSS post.
The Twitter idea is from robboy who gave me the password to work the system. The original post can be found here.
If you have any idea, suggestion, improvement for the twitter just let me know!
- Also let me know if you want another threat to follow -
That's a really good idea! Maybe you could do this for the ROM development threads, so we know when a new or updated ROM comes out.
aha, so you're the reason we couldn't register that twitter username

RSS (Real Simple Syndication) is a way for other sites to carry our content. If you don't know what it means, it probably won't do much for you.

Forum Specific RSS Feeds?
While I see two RSS Feed linls listed here, is there a way to access only specific forums (i.e. Blue Angel Upgrading or Blue Angel Accessories) with an RSS Feed Link?
Thanks in advance for your answer!
Why don't you add:
Code:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="XDA-Developers News" href="http://xda-developers.com/news.rss" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="XDA-Developers Last 30 Topics" href="http://xda-developers.com/forum-30.rss" />
to the HTML Head field?
I appreciate your response, however if I'm reading your code correctly this would give me the last 30 posts, regardless of forum. I'm only interested in posts in the BA forums (either BA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=23
or
BS Upgrading:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=24).
Any ideas on this? I'm currently beta testing NewsBreak and would like to include feeds specific to my device.
TIA!

I think the same. You must order the phpbb_topics table by the last message post (time/id) and pick the first 30 post_id 's... Smt like this will do afaik:
Code:
$sql = "SELECT *
FROM " . TOPICS_TABLE . "
ORDER BY `topic_last_post_id` DESC
LIMIT 0, 30";

Great! Just I am looking for.
Hi,
I agree: it should be very very usefull to have a different rss for each forum, in order to sync only that forums of your interest...
Any idea?
So, is there an rss feed for each forum yet? I don't need the feed for the whole xda phone world!
Yup, it's the same for me. I'm only interested in maybe three forums.
Any chance of getting individual feeds?
I am using SPB Insight as my news feed reader and have sucessfully subscribed to just the ones i need using varations on the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=312
All i did was change the number on the end to reflect the sub forum i wanted. 312 being the Trinity Upgrade Thread.
Is it be possible to be notified of all new posts, not just new threads ?
It would be nice if we could subscribe to specific threads as well It would be handy for the bigger topics (Kitchen threads etc).
rss of new posts, not only thread.
Not seen any answer to the same point posted couple of posts above.
Is it possibile to subscribe and get updats also for new posts, not only new threads?
Thx
Vic
Yes is it posssible to subscribe to a particular thread?
Yes, please... me too... if I could subscribe to specific threads, it'd be absolutely great!
Alternatively, I guess I can just reroute all email notifications from subscribed threads into my rss reader.. although the result won't look nearly as clean as if an RSS feed could just be directly tied to a subscribed thread..
Thanks!

some numbers for hermes Rss feeds : 305 -355 -306
some observation: the numbers are in order of creation of subtopics so there is a logic in it but no logic in it example: hermes WM6 thread opened much later than other hermes threads so its number is 355 the others are 305-306 are in order...
How do I see the newest post in each feed?
I seem to be able to get the first post in each feed, which is no good for me, considering some threads are 350+ posts long and I just want to read the last few posts in that thread.
Currently, I just keeping getting the first post over and over.
Hi folks,
I've added various forums (sub-forums?) to RSS Hub and it's working great apart from only showing me the 15 most recent new treads-can i increase this number?
I'm currently using URLs like this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=419
Thanks in advance!

RSS Subforum feeds don't work in Yahoo reader
For whatever reason, I'm not getting the subform listing to work with the RSS feed of Yahoo. Other RSS feeds work, including the RSS feed from the top-level (i.e., all new posts across all of XDA Developers).
I'm using the form of:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=419
Any ideas? Did this suddenly stop working?
It appears that a new forum has been created for the moderators to chat in and discuss the site (and us, I expect ). However, the topics that are being added to this forum are appearing in the homepage list of latest topics for everybody else. This is a PITA since it seems that every other topic I click on doesn't exist (i.e. I don't have the permission to view it).
Can this be sorted out please so that only topics we're allowed to see appear in the listing?
is it fixed now?
Nope
This topic still appears on the homepage.
now?
Looks like it's fixed. Nice work, itsme, and thanks for the fast response!
<hopeful>
Now if only you could fix the 'xda-developers.com' link on the PPC templates so that they didn't give a 'page not found' error, and then stop the site sending two emails every time a topic receives a reply, then the site would be perfect!
</hopeful>
I would like to subscribe to sub forums Example: Evo 4g and Nook Color Android Development. I use the Xda App and its amazing, but I would like all the new post to appear in my news when I read them all, I subscribe by email but not fast enough or sometimes it doesnt appear. Any idea how I can do so with out subscribing to whole xda rss feed. Thanks
I'm also searching for this option. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a solution to this too. So far I've been recommended FeedBurner, but that just works at the thread listing level. I'm looking to generate a RSS of the posts from within a thread... Anyone got any suggestions?
The two feeds that I've found that XDA generates are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765
(change 765 to the forum level that you want)...
But this still doesn't list from within threads....
super easy go to the sub-forum and click the RSS button on your browser to get RSS link. copy to Google Reader.
if you have chrome you can subscribe to Google reader with 2 clicks. Rss button> Subscribe.
Evo 4g dev
http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/http%3A//forum.xda-developers.com/external.php%3Ftype%3DRSS2%26forumids%3D653
Nook Colour Dev.
http://www.google.com/reader/view/f...opers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=864
wow hard.
note: rss feeds show newly started THEADS, not new posts, nor does it "bump" up an older thread with new posts,
nor can you subscribe to a "Device" subforum as a whole ( general Q&A Dev and Apps together), only sub-forums OF the device ( general, q&A ect SEPARATELY for each device)
Thanks trusselo, I found the regular RSS feeds as I said in my post. It's whether or not there is one for within the forum thread itself; and it appears there is not. I've tried various sites to dynamically generate a RSS from a web page, but they are terrible and syndicate a whole bunch of useless data.
Has anyone managed to use a third party site to generate a clean and usable RSS feed of posts within a sub forum?

I am not aware of a feed of posts, due to the huge number of posts you will see... New threads is all that rss covers afaik

Ye I was thinking that, but at the same time an RSS of thread data would be no more than what each page generates in standard forum HTML, especially if the feed was paginated with around 10-20 posts per page, like the thread pages are now.
I'll put it in as a feature request and see what happens in the future.
Many people on the forums keep close watch on certain ROM's for their phones here on XDA. It would be awesome if there were a way to subscribe ONLY to the first post of a particular thread so that if it is edited/updated you would be notified through e-mail. I'm not talking about subscribing to a thread because you'd be getting tons of unwanted e-mail and notifications, just the first post of the thread. Many developers edit the first post of a thread with new links when they release a new version of their ROM/APP/THEME.
This would let you know immediately when your favorite ROM has had an update posted.
I know, this is a great idea.
Agreed. There is a problem though. Some cooks have designated upto 5 posts for notes on their roms, not only the first.
That's true. Though it seems a majority update the first page in some manor. If we had this functionality they may make a point of doing so.
I have an idea that I believe is doable within the abilities of VB, but it will take a little bit of work to implement.
Create a sticky LOCKED post in the forum. Allow a subset of users that can modify locked post (or if it is possible, just that SINGLE locked post).
So, the first post in that thread would be a link to all of the various mods. Each time a mod is updated, one of the select people make a post on that locked thread saying:
"Mod XYZ has been updates to version a.b.c... Follow the link in post 1 to get the latest version!"
That way you can subscribe to that thread and you will just be notified when one of the very select, few people post. I realize that this is less than ideal, since you may be notified of ROM updates that you don't use, but this would work within the capabilities of VB.

Users cannot post in closed threads That's the biggest issue there tbh. Does give me an idea I will raise.

It is unlikely this will be done by xda until the bulletin board system they are using supports it (hence why proper RSS Feed monitoring has not been put in for individual threads).
However...
You can do this using a external page monitor such as http://www.changedetection.com
Simply point it to the post you want to monitor and it'll email you or update an rss feed with an update to alert you to the change.
Ok you need to set it up manually, but it's a solution.
Sorry for the stupid question, i'm sure the forums had RSS links for each individual section of the forum but I can't seem to find it any more.
Could someone point me in the right direction or have they been removed?
anyone?
For some reason we don't have an icon for it.
Here's the URL for this forums' RSS feed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=263
Just replace the forumids=xxx with the forumId of the one you want to subscribe to.
Thanks
Dave
thanks, just what I was after
I've searched through the XDA archives but can't find any way to subscribe to an individual thread (not just forum ID) via RSS. Is this something that currently works?
Thanks.

Hi lio, thanks for that. I'm still trying to generate an RSS feed for within a thread though. So for instance I'm trying to get a feed for the following thread data:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765
... and feedburner gives me the following two feeds:
Code:
xda-developers - Desire HD Android Development - RSS Feed: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765[/url]
xda-developers RSS Feed: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2[/url]
... both of which are not generating from within the thread, they're just listing the different forums themselves. If you see what I mean?
These links no longer work
Is there some other link that we can use?

I know this is an old thread, but I'd settle for an RSS of my "Subscribed Threads & Forums" page. That alone would be enough for me...

Seems no viable solution exists...
I too would like this. I see XDA has their own feed reader app for the forum. Maybe they disabled RSS feeds so that we'd be forced to use their app so they can make $$? Kind of gay, RSS feeds allow me to check multiple forums from one list on one app.
Closest thing I found searching the forums is this: https://feeds.feedburner.com/xda-developers/ and maybe it can be modified to show the forum that you want?
