JRef RSS-Feed?

ginyu · 5 Mar 2007

Hey everyone,

I thought it would be cool if this board's latest posts and threads would be available as an RSS-Feed, so it can be easily implemented in a netvibes start page or something.

For those who don't know, netvibes is an online service, that allows users to combine different RSS-Feeds (newspaper headlines, weather forecast, mail inbox, calendar, to-do-lists, blog entries etc. - virtually everything) to a custom start page. It's quite handy.

What'cha think?

Netvibes - Wikipedia

I'm not sure what browser you are using, but if you are using either firefox or ie7, you should be able to subscribe to the JRef RSS feed (which has been around for quite a while) just by hitting the feed button in either the address box, or the tool-bar depending....

In fact, here is your post at the very top of the feed...

Here is the direct feed address: Forum list

Oh my god!

Sorry for that!

The first time I checked for RSS I was at work, we had an archaic IE version there...

I got Firefox 2.0.0.2 at home, but I didn't bother to look at the icon, because I was sure there is no RSS...

Thanks for clearing that up!

Strange...

It seems the Feed can't be added to my netvibes page.

After typing the feed address in the form, it says "Verifying feed..." but nothing happens. I tried it a dozen times, and let it verify for hours...

I haven't had this problem when adding all the other feeds.

Try subscribing to in in something else, exporting that as an OPML file, and then importing that file into netvibes.

Thanks for the tip Michael!

I set up an http://www.yourminis.com/ account and exported an OPML file, source code looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><opml version="1.0">

<head>

<title>yourminis.com subscriptions</title>

</head>

<body>

<outline title="Start" text="Start" ><outline type="rss" title="Japan Forum" text="Japan Forum" xmlUrl="https://jref.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2" htmlUrl="https://jref.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2" /></outline>

</body>

</opml>

The feed is correctly displayed at yourminis, but after importing the file on netvibes, I see the added feed 'window', but no posts are loaded.

Anyway, it's an advance. I'll keep tryin'!
