RSS for vBulletin -- track forums with RSS Reader?

[emitchlpd]

Does anyone know if the vBulletin software provides RSS feeds for forum topics? There are some things I'd like to track with my newsreader.

I've looked around and it doesn't look like there's anything here re: RSS yet.

According to a little Googling, it looks like RSS is an add-on that the SugarCRM people would have to add. Yo, SugarCRM people, add RSS to the forums!!!

[Update] I discovered this url provides an RSS 0.91 feed for all forums:

http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/external.php?type=rss

And RSS 2!

http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2

Update 2 -- problem solved!!!

The holy grail -- take the forum id from your query string when viewing particular topic, and add the "forumids" argument to your external.php querystring:

Track the Annoucements:
http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/exter...ss2&forumids=9

Track Developers:
http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/exter...ss2&forumids=6

Hi emitchlpd,

Thanks for letting us know, I was actually wondering the same thing before I noticed your post.

Would I use my Thunderbird or firefox to read this or do I need some other software?

Hi Ken,

I personally prefer to use stand alone news reader, at the moment I use Feedreader 2.90 from http://www.feedreader.com/

But basically any RSS reader will do.

I use the SAGE plugin for firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/extension...numpg=10&id=77
it is a sidebar that allows you to organize news feeds like bookmarks and will open a summary page of the news feed in the browser with clickable links to the actual post.

Cheers

/bumping a 4 year old thread.

I know this is more of a vBulletin question rather than a sugar question, but does anyone know how to get the feed by username or userid? I'm sure its just a get parameter, I just don't know which one.
