RSS Question

[merk_aus]

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any RSS Feed that we can set up on our Australian sports vbulletin board that will give us the whole news story - not just a line or two?

Any help would be greatfully appreciated - Oh and while I am here does anyone know how to set up the RSS Feeds so when it is posted the username it is set up to go under does not get an increase to their post count?

Have you tried using {feed:content:encoded} instead of {rss:description} in the Body Template?

As for the post count thing, you can either set the whole forum to not increase post count (many users have a forum just for rss feeds) or you'll have to write a plugin to not increase it for the one user. Or, I suppose you could write a cron job to 0 out the post count ever night.

Just adding to this I have tried playing with this:-

Any ideas - Sorry to be a pain!

I looked at the recent articles on that other site (that one you link to is a few months old) and none of them are full length like you want. Usually you cannot get the full length article because the rss feed is not willing to send out the full length article.

Ok no problems i only noticed it as well and came back here to post not to worry about it haha, I stumbled across that other website while browsing the net and thought hey thats a good idea haha - thanks for all of your help im currently looking around trying to set up the rss feeds where they look decent.

Thanks for all your responses i really appreciate it
