RSS in Boonex Groups???

Hi

Is this possible ??

I would like to be able to create an RSS for each group. I run a football site and would like to create a group (i.e a football club) and run an RSS from the main club site into a group on my site.

Answers on a postcard please, or just reply here it's easier!!!

Si

Geeee.....don't all respond at once!!

Not without a modification to add a custom RSS block to the groups.

AntonLV has done this for me. I would suggest contacting him regarding Group RSS feeds.

This feature is a part of my Ultimate Groups mod.

I have a free mod that will do this.

You can also access RSS feed direct. The RSS feed takes format of:

http://www.YOURSITE.com/get_rss_feed.php?ID=groupforum&groupuri=GROUPURI

GROUPURI can be found by looking at the last part of the URL (after the '/')

Tested and working on 7.0.4.

This is an excellent mod but it is not what is requested in the Topic. He is asking for the ability to import external RSS Feed (not forum feed).

My bad, only trying to help.

This works for 7.1. A hint though, do NOT overwrite the files, do the manual install instead. The new files for 7.1 are a little different.....

Good work...

OK, I tried this but had problems.  Do you mind PMing me more details or just putting more details here?  And I did a manual install since my site is heavily modded. Maybe I missed something.

Ok, here we go: Now I'm not an expert but I got it to work.

In the /inc/js/jquerydolRSSFeed.js

On or about line 8 after:

var iRSSID = $Cont.attr( 'rssid' );

Add:

//<!--[START DeeEmm Group Forum Posts MOD]-->
var sGroupURI = $Cont.attr( 'groupuri' );
//<!--[END DeeEmm Group Forum Posts MOD]-->

On or about line 18 After:

var iMemID  = parseInt( $Cont.attr( 'member' ) || 0 );

Add:

//<!--[START DeeEmm Group Forum Posts MOD]-->
var sFeedURL = (sForceUrl != undefined) ? sForceUrl : site_url + 'get_rss_feed.php?ID=' + iRSSID + '&member=' + iMemID + '&groupuri=' + sGroupURI;
 //<!--[END DeeEmm Group Forum Posts MOD]-->

In the root, find the file get_rss_feed.php

On or about Line 7,

Replace this:

$aPredefinedRssFeeds = array (
    'boonex_news' => 'http://www.boonex.com/unity/blog/featured_posts/?rss=1',
    'boonex_unity_market' => 'http://www.boonex.com/unity/extensions/latest/?rss=1',
    'boonex_unity_lang_files' => 'http://www.boonex.com/unity/extensions/category/cat_languages.html?rss=1',
    'boonex_unity_market_templates' => 'http://www.boonex.com/unity/extensions/category/cat_templates.html?rss=1',
    'boonex_unity_market_featured' => 'http://www.boonex.com/unity/extensions/featured_posts?rss=1',
);

With this:

//<!--[START DeeEmm Group Forum Posts MOD]-->
$aPredefinedRssFeeds = array (
    'boonex_news' => 'http://www.boonex.com/unity/blog/featured_posts/?rss=1',
    'boonex_unity_market' => 'http://www.boonex.com/unity/extensions/latest/?rss=1',
    'boonex_unity_lang_files' => 'http://www.boonex.com/unity/extensions/category/cat_languages.html?rss=1',
    'boonex_unity_market_templates' => 'http://www.boonex.com/unity/extensions/category/cat_templates.html?rss=1',
    'boonex_unity_market_featured' => 'http://www.boonex.com/unity/extensions/featured_posts?rss=1',
    'groupforum' => '{SiteUrl}/forum/?action=rss_forum&forum={groupuri}&orca_integration=groups'
);
//<!--[END DeeEmm Group Forum Posts MOD]-->

(I bet this is where you made your mistake...)

On or about line 22, after:

 $sCont = $aPredefinedRssFeeds[$_GET['ID']];

Add this:

//<!--[START DeeEmm Group Forum Posts MOD]-->
    if ($_GET['ID'] == 'groupforum') {
        $groupuri = $_GET['groupuri'];
        $sCont = str_replace( '{groupuri}', $groupuri, $sCont );
    }
//<!--[END DeeEmm Group Forum Posts MOD]-->

Save and close.

Upload the dm_sql_installer.php to your root, then run it to install the necessary tables.

Now you can follow the rest of the instructions verbatim. Don't forget to clear your cache after your done. AS ALWAYS, I'm a codingidiot so make sure you make backups!
