PHPBB3 -> RSS?

Not being able to read the latest witty comments at work is bothering me.

I am able to access RSS aggregators like Google Reader and it occurred to me that maybe an add-on could be installed so that users had the option of receiving the posts as an RSS feed. I wouldn't be able to post but at least I could keep up.

http://phpbbservices.com/smartfeed/

Is there any way that someone with admin access can install this mod?

Probably not. All of the mod resources, now that Ben fixed the
youtube, are currently focused on the new iPhone app due out
in 2016.

Just being a little humorous, no reason to insult me. I don't think
we CAN just go and install add-ons or mods or whatever on the fly.
It's not our installation of phpBB, it's our service providers.

Maybe you'll get lucky and Ben will chime in. Please don't get surly
with him if you don't like his answer.

Here's the link to the new page that will allow you to subscribe to an RSS feed. Eventually I'll add a link to the forum banner, but for now this should do:

I forgot about all this until got a PM from Fman tonight.

It works, I just set it up in Outlook, it's kinda cool. Thanks for
your help with this Ben. Between asking qwkdotnet to help with
this and then they ended doing the whole board upgrade I kinda
zoned on the RSS thing and the link has been up for two weeks.

Thank you boys! I will have to see how this looks in Google Reader, which is what I use at work for RSS reading.

Putting this here so I can easily paste it on Crackberry:

Re: PHPBB3 -> RSS?

The link above the last post works if I click on it on a com-
puter, but if I paste it into a reader app on my Crackberry
I get an error message and it won't load.

Any other Crackheads out there that can get this to work?

Re: PHPBB3 -> RSS?

If anyone cares, I got it to work by going to the page on BB
instead of using the link I made up top and generated it there
and then pasted. Pretty cool.

Re: PHPBB3 -> RSS?

Wow, I just read the 54 posts made since the last time I checked, maybe this morning, all in about 2 minutes, didn't have to click around 50 different links to see everything either.

It's a brave new world.

Re: PHPBB3 -> RSS?

That's why i always liked the 'view active topics' link, so I don't have to read all the music posts ;-)

I'm with you on that! I'd prefer to see a Music Forum, so I can ignore it as easily as I do the Fantasy Forum.

OH NO YOU DI'INT!

I am a cock though so it's OK. This one must have slipped through the cracks.

Nope, the only thing that slides through that crack is my sexy undergarments and/or Cool Whip.

as an RSS Feed I don't think so.......but I have the app and I use it for a few android forums I rarely frequent...it works but the forum looks noting like it does here of course, more like a mobile version , it does look good though and they are always working to make it better....

here is how it might look
