RDF-Feed from your Forums
 

Just change db-details and drop this file into your forums directory - it will output a RDF-file with the last x posts on your forums...

As '&' in URLs is not allowed in RDF put this rewrite rule into the directory you put this script.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^tl([0-9]+)\.html$ showthread.php?s=&goto=lastpost&threadid=$1[L]

it will send the user to the lastpost of the thread.

Demo:
you need a rdf- parser to view it . Knews under KDE or Netscape > 6, PHP-Nuke, Post-Nuke...

Excuse me, but what's a RDF file?

http://www.w3.org/RDF/
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/01/24/rdf.html
Resource Description Framework (RDF)

This shows posts from all forums. Is there any way to restrict it to public forums only? I have a few private forums who's posts I don't want to be displayed in the RDF.

i excluded forum # 13 - you can also change the query to

etc to exclude 13, 93 and so on...

how about a file that can also parse RDF be included here so you can show rdf's on any other page.

there already exist lots of scripts to to this...

Some of the larger packeges (postnuke/phpnuke) already have it built in

I used an other approach to exclude private forums.

It works great since 6 month! :D

Request @ vBulletin Germany.com
Public Release @ vbPortal.com

Short time later, Bierhasser (from KOKSA-Community) and my person
have done the first version for "vBulletin-without-vbPortal".

Demos:
