Greetings!

I have another Q U E S T I :oops: N

The message boards I run use an RDF feed.

For instance, the URL provided by the orange XML button at the bottom of one of my message boards is:

http://the1776.org/rdf.php?mode=m&l=1&basic=1

Will this work within my NewsTopica 2.0 site?

Within the ACP, the feed types that can be selected are:

RSS 0.91
RSS 1.0
RSS 2.0
Atom 0.3
Atom 1.0

I'm not sure which (if any) of these to select for a link such as the one above.

Could someone offer a suggestion about this please?

Thanks!

:)

RDF is not a very popular format, and we haven't tested it.
I tried to look at your feed but upon viewing the source, all I see is
<xml><error>no data matching data</error></xml>

Thanks for testing it.

Actually, that particular message board has been inactive for over a month. Perhaps that's why it's showing "no data".

I'll test things out on one of my test message boards and see what happens.

Best Wishes,

Reporting that I just tested it and it seems to work fine.

Within the ACP I specified RSS 0.91 - not for any particular reason - simply because I was going to test every type of feed available.

I "imported feeds" and it seemed to work on the first pop.

:idea:

Good, I'm glad. If it would not have worked, I hope you would have PMed me.
