Hi,

I have been going nuts trying to figure this one out.

I want to get the rss for this thread http://forums.bikegearwarehouse.com/showthread.php?t=9
so that I can then display it in the mother site and re-style the rss neatly.

Is there a simple way to ask external.php to spit out an rss2 feed from a thread like this?

I have been trolling for hours trying to find a simple way to do this that doesn't involve hacking external.php

Thanks for any and all help in advance.

Cheers
C

The RSS spits out *threads* not *posts*, so I'm not sure what you mean by saying you want to spit out the feed of a thread.

Ok so this means I will get the thread in detail?

I want to publish the entire thread elsewhere if possible and style up the RSS to suit my other site.

Is that possible?

Cheers

No, I don't believe it will be published entirely since the external.php page is made to be a feed - just send out some of the content for use on other sites. If you need an entire thread posted on another site, you really need to do a query to grab the information. If it's for another site, I'm not sure how likely it is that you will be able to do that.
