Another day, another feature completed for IPB 2.1.
My attention has been turned to the RSS manager; specifically the RSS export manager.
It allows you to set up your own streams using your own criteria and these will be selectable to the viewer via a "Syndication" link (and most likely via HTML link refs in the HTML source).
I won’t babble on about it, the movie says enough.
Tomorrow will see the RSS import center work start. I plan to allow RSS feeds to be read and posted in a forum of your choice. That’s the plan, anyhow.

Brilliant work.
One Question: Can I post multiple RSS feeds into a single forum?
Very Cool!
The idea of importing an RSS feed directly as posts is great. We are often copying and pasting news items and replying. This will save a lot of effort.
Can I post multiple RSS feeds into a single forum?
Yes.

Importing RSS feeds is excellent ! Excellent to feed news posted on a board’s website.
Good idea in theory, but it means trouble for me. xD
I have our news from our site offered via RSS, which generally consits of unreleased stuff from neopets.com. A lot of people try to copy our news (meaning copying everything we find and claiming they found it) and post it on their own site. This’ll definately make it easier for them to copy. xD
But, no need for you to worry, just more fun for me.
I’ll just add in a randomly scrambled url into our feed’s item descriptions.
Anyway, keep up the work, too bad I can’t afford IPB. o-o I’m stuck with the last open free trial version you guys stuck out. [And thanks for posting security patches on your forums for us who are using old versions]
Also, I was planning something similar for a blog module for a CMS system I’m working on. So we don’t have to link off-site for other user’s blogs and they don’t need to keep track of 3 or 4 different blogs or something.
Also, beware of the feeds that aren’t up to standards. Some of the rss mods on invisionize are actually not to standards. I need to put up my own some time, worked hard to make sure it’s up to the standard. xD
Also, perhaps you should add in some ATOM feed support?
