internal forum rss problem (update)

 I have a problem trying to display a forum rss feed on my home page using the aggregator, when you click on the link it takes you to this address http://www.blackbirdleysallotments.org.uk/Forums/Thread.aspx?thread=6#post9 which results in an access denied page, any idea what is wrong?

 

I updated to the latest release to see if that made any difference, but now get an 'Invalid request' from RSS.aspx link below

Re: internal forum rss problem

The feed url needs query string parameters, you should right click the feed icons in the forums and copy the url from there to enter as the feed url in Feed Manager. The forums must be on a publicly accessible page.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: internal forum rss problem

Is it not possible to have a feed for the whole forum module? I thought it was, rss.aspx did that in the previous version I was using

Re: internal forum rss problem

yes it is possible, just copy the url for one of the forum feeds and back out the ItemID parameter leaving the pageid and mid params

like if the url is "http://localhost/Forums/RSS.aspx?ItemID=1&mid=13&pageid=11"

change it like

"http://localhost/Forums/RSS.aspx?mid=13&pageid=11"

the ItemID represents the individual forums

Hope it helps,

Joe
