Has the DOCs for RSS implimentation be created yet?
DM suggested I look back thru the message base to find out what I need
and this didn't yeild much.
He has it set up on his system as I donwloaded (recieved) about 9
messages the first request I sent. Since then, nothing has come thru. I
set up my newsreader (Opera) to fetch every three hours.
But I would like to try to set this up on the Bits-N-Bytes BBS.
DM suggested I should have ctrl/rss.ini installed and provided an
example. I copied his for mine - knowing it would fail and hopefully
provide some details on how to fix it.
In the other places that have RSS feeds a link is provided. That link
when installed into a rssreader scans the source for NEW messages.

The firs (in []) is the name of the RSS channel. The "sub" value is the internal code of the sub-board.

I guess anywhere I want to create the SUB will be fine(??)
OK... I just made a NEW message group for the occasion. RSS of course
and the sole sub is of course RSS.
I need to make a test message of some sort.
OK short test message in place...
Now what? Try to scan the feed again.
Opps forgot the RSS.INI file..
It now reads:
[syncanno] <-- Still dunno what significance this holds
sub=RSS
title=BNB news and Views

Well that's what I figured out on my own. It didn't produce any messages
in any logs I can find. Although loging is mentioned I cannot infer it's location.

It's the name of your RSS channel. Change it to something else.

Yes. It must be the internal code of the sub-board you're exposing via RSS.

Of course.

I config the Rss.ini and when I do to URL http://tccbbsjyo.toolman.net\rss.s It want to download a file called rss.ssjs and my system that I am calling f calles this a unknown file.
I reanmed the file from rss.ssjs to rss.html I get a file of text and the te is all together no formating of the information in side.
What am I missing or doing wrong?

Instead of doing this piecemeal, why not write the docs on how it's
supposed to work?
At the very least it would eliminate my asking such pathetic questions
and wasting your time (unless you find some enjoyment in this, somehow)
I think RSS will be very useful and adds alot to a BBS (for those so inclined to use it).

It works for Vert.

Because it was just a small experiment, proof of concept. It's how I ultimately plan on supporting RSS.

I'll think about documenting what's there now, but like I said, it's
not the way I plan on doing it ultimately.

[4] image_link=http://BNB.synchro.net
Line 1 is an identifier tag, it could be called anything, as long as
it's consistant with the announced link.[A]
Line 2 is the source of RSS. It's a sub in the SMB database.
Line 3 Is the title that will appear in the RSS reader.
Line 4 Haven't a clue what/why?
Do I have any of these close (accept #4, of course)?
So, to send text (or more accuratly, have text ready/available) I post messa to
RSS sub, in my case in the RSS group, which could just as easily been in
the Main group, or any group choosen. And if anyone has access (via the
BBS) they can have their messages also RSS ready/available.
BTW, editing such files as RSS.INI doesn't get detected by SBBS and
cause a reload, does it?
Will RSS become a full-fledged service in v4?

Yes. Technically speaking, it's the RSS channel name.

It's the internal code of the sub-board.

Yes.

It's a link that you wish to have the available in readers that support it. See RSS specifications for more details.

The rss.ini file is loaded for each/every http/rss query, so no
"reload" is necessary.
Will RSS become a full-fledged service in v4?
No, it'll continue to be served up by the web server, since it is a web based protocol (i.e. http).

Well I meant fleshed out. A little PR perhaps.
So... I have the RSS.INI file in place, I have the altered link in my
RSS reader. I made a test message in the sub. But nada!
You have 9 messages but nothing comes thru for BNB.
Where to look?
