I have searched around, but I cant find anything on a RSS feed for OSNN. I know other sites use it, but I cant find any info. Can someone point a poor lost soul in the right direction? :)


EDIT:

Feel free to delete this thread. I figured it out. To be honest I feel kinda dumb now..... :)

please can I bump this thread - because I have an RSS OSNN feed along with others (from register and BBC) going into my desktop RainMeter applet window and although the other two are hot links I can click and the OSNN one used to be since the Vbulletin upgrade the OSNN feed has become unclickable....

is this a side effect of the upgrade? Or do I need to do something? Can someone post back before I stop being lazy and look into it further?
 
its all clickable for me ? am not using rainmeter though
 
eh oh....

just looked at my source and it is
[Variables]
URL1=http://forum.osnn.net/external.php
URL2=http://www.theregister.co.uk/tonys/slashdot.rdf
URL3=http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss091.xml
I suspect I have chosen the wrong one - can you confirm?
 
^bump^ I did eventually look around for the RSS feednames on the front page, but did not find them (where are they hidden?)
 
aha and so we have:-
[Variables]
URL1=http://www.osnn.net/modules.php?modname=backend&action=rss&id=6
URL2=http://www.theregister.co.uk/tonys/slashdot.rdf
URL3=http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss091.xml
and my RSS is once more clickable.... BUT is not the one I want for the forum links... does that still exist?

And what is this rumour that EP is working... on the front page? I want teh new front page - so let's hear more.... esp. if it comes with the RSS clickability I want - direct to forum selection... I know the feed exists, only problem I had was it was linkless....my klipfolio one on an old rig is to forum posts and is linkie though!
 
I'll have to download this rainmeter app mfg, don't quite get what the problem is, but if I can check it out I can make sure its working how I intended :)
 
aha - I think i found half the problem .... the klipfolion feed that I use was made esp. by you - it is below:-

now the thing is Rainmeter takes a regular RSS feed (they work for register and BBC) and yes indeedy the regular OSNN news feeds also work - but I wasusing that forum external feed - and that does not...

Makes sense now? I hope so - you should not need to go diving into that app - unless you want to of course!

The forum feed hasn't been modified from its original version at all.
 
the forum feed is http://forum.osnn.net/external.php?type=RSS2, as mentioned before?
OK - the type paramter I did not have...

But even with that my feed does work but is not clickable - so I remain back at square one - where
Code:
http://www.osnn.net/modules.php?modname=backend&action=rss&id=6
is clickable and the quoted one (feeding from forums) is not.

Over to you again guys?

Or do I speak to Rainie (the developer of the app that takes the feed)?
 
must be their problem, all the places i have the osnn forum feed its clickable :s
 
well OK Khayman - I am going to take a lateral approach to this problem.

Although I am keeping rainmeter and although I do NOT want anything so elaborate as Klipfolio... can you recommend to me the viewers you are using that are clickable? I'll pick one from them... And see how I go with it...
 
^bump^ any chance of someone or Khayman even telling me relevant apps that I may check out? Has Ffox a good feeder? I presume it must since IE7 seems to be adding one...

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???

Rest in peace my friend, been trying to find you and finally did in the worst way imaginable.
