Mod Name / Version: rssFeeder v1.1.2 (hehe, it's 1.1, because i've never released a 1.0 -- bad luck)
Description: This expands upon the 2 offerings I already noticed in these forums. It now includes:
1. Individual forum feeds
2. Inbox
3. Outbox
4. Today's posts (done in an earlier mod)
5. Supports rss v2.0 and v0.92 - selectable (0.91 is too limited)
I have it working on my test board and have given it to a couple people to use on other boards. So far feedback is good.
Demo Tells you all about it and more.
Forum where you can register and test on. the forum isn't really used at all. Just test.
When you look at the rssClass, you'll prolly notice some C# naming convention. I took their method names for mine
I pounded this out on a weekend, tested for couple hours, unleashed it on 2 boards for a week, but there still might be bugs. The addon is entirely read-only, so you can't harm your board.
Note: Added feature suggestions from Paul Smith. Fixed bug on '&' and 'today' function.
Enjoy
Working Under: UBB.Threads 6.4

Credits: rssThreads & RSS Feed threads to get juices flowing
Files Altered: None. It's a standalone addon, so there is no copy/paste/merging required at all.
New Files: An entire
/feeds directory
/feeds/help directory
Database Altered: None
Info/Instructions: 1. upload to a newly created feeds dir, under ubbthreads.
2. edit rss.inc.php, if you want to personalize and tweak (not really necessary to test though)
3. go to
http://yourboardurl/feeds/ You will be presented with available feeds (cookies determine) There's ample information and help that describes how to use it in the main screen and help screen.
It's up to you to have an rss feedreader. FeedDemon is the best i've found, since it supports cookies on rss feed links. SharpReader and rssReader work too, but you'll be forced to use the 2 parameters u=Username&p=Password to get proper feeds.
Note: should work with any board version that uses U_Number. I can't remember when that change came about.
Note: i used tabs set at 3 in my editor (ultraedit), so it lines up perfectly, if you match that. you could also detab it, if that's what you want. just fyi.
Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify.
If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.
Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.
