I subscribed to http://qcu.be/crss and http://qcu.be/rss.xml (from browser's address bar) and I'm getting some but not all the posts. For example posts in this forum are not there and posts from the "tips and tricks" forum are not there either.
The other confusion is because each forum has yet another rss icon at the bottom of the page, and they are specific to that particular forum, while the main forum page doesn't have the rss icon. Add to those the 2 URL's that Kristof mentioned (I have no idea where he found those), and you'll see that we have too many of them and none of then is for ALL forums.
So perhaps all those should somehow be re-conciliated into one (or 2 at most) and made visible from a unique consistent place on the page.
recent comments is working fine for me...
recent posts is not. i'm missing posts in the forum + blog posts (basically, any new posts). http://qcu.be/tracker/feed only gives me the 25 FIRST posts (welcome is still there!?), not the 25 last posts...
pitty that trac also does not do RSS on COMMENTS to tickets :(
Vexed,
I don't know much about RSS, but I was wandering if it's possible to make the feeds from the same topic keep the same subject (perhaps with a "Re: ". This would allow clients to group them and show them in threads. It would just make for a better organization.
The same thing should really be done about the email messages. Currently the first post in a new topic get's a "New Forum topic" prefix, and the subsequent replies get "Comment for Forum topic" prefix. This throws off many email clients which base their threading on the subject (e.g. gmail).
But maybe I should post this issue as a separate topic
So do you think you, or someone else who knows drupal can have a look at this subject issue (both for RSS and email)? It would really help a lot. If you tell me what drupal module is being used for RSS and email I can do a little research to find a fix.
Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with it either. The RSS feeds are just Views with all the most recent posts/comments listed on them. As such, they use the node names given by Drupal.
If you want to fix the node names for forum posts, I believe you'd have to look at the forum content type or maybe the template for adding replies.
The combination of these 2 feeds should do it:
http://qcu.be/comments/recent/feed
http://qcu.be/tracker/feed
But I'm still missing some posts every now and then, don't know why (Mike??).
Like... ehm... this post does not show in the list :)
gr,

Umm. I keep up with the QCubed site strictly via RSS, and have been notified of everything so far (including this post, and your reply).

The two kmeirlaen posted are the feeds for ALL posts, and ALL comments.
Between the two of them (and the trac rss at http://trac.qcu.be/projects/qcubed/timeline?ticket=on&changeset=on&miles...) everything is easily reported via RSS.
We don't want to remove the other RSS feeds, since it's possible people really do want to be notified of only new posts in eg: General Discussions.
recent comments is working fine for me...

Ok, I've updated some settings on the recent posts feed that seemed odd to me (specifically the sorting), so hopefully that'll take care of it.
The site is super slow at the moment, so I'm not entirely sure it's working, but I think it is now.
yes, I've received the new posts, thanks for taking care of this.
Kristof
I've also updated trac. Theoretically, this feed should now include ticket updates (ie: comments):
http://trac.qcu.be/projects/qcubed/timeline?ticket=on&ticket_details=on&...
awesome!!
Thanks a lot, makes our lives easier :)

Yeah, I think that has more to do with Drupal node names and the e-mailer code respectively, and nothing to do with the RSS feed itself.
So do you think you, or someone else who knows drupal can have a look at this subject issue (both for RSS and email)? It would really help a lot. If you tell me what drupal module is being used for RSS and email I can do a little research to find a fix.
