RSS Feeds

Hey Matt, how can I get the full article to download in my RSS feeds? I am only receiving the first few lines and I have to go to the site to read the full article.

Thanks.

It's not really recommended to make RSS feed unlimited in length. Currently it is set to 255 and I will bump it to 2000. That should capture the text of most posts. There are several ways to customize RSS feeds here is how to do it.


All of the XML content is accessed via the ".xml" action...
Other formats can be achieved by adding one of the following to the URL:
;type=atom - Atom
;type=rdf - RDF
;type=rss - RSS 0.91
;type=rss2 - RSS 2.0

The default feed is the 5 most recent posts:
http://www.ranchomurietaonline.com/f...ss;action=.xml

There are several "sub-actions" available to this action, specifying exactly what to display:

Recent Posts (displays the most recent posts that you can see)
"Sub-action": recent
Default: Shows 5 most recent posts
Available options:
limit=x - display the "x" most recent posts (if number is less than 5, it will display 5. If number is larger than 255, it will display 255).
board=y - display only the recent posts from board "y"
boards=x,y,z - display only the recent posts from the specified boards
c=x or c=x,y,z - display only the recent posts from boards in the specified category/categories
Example: http://www.ranchomurietaonline.com/f...ard=1;limit=10


Members (displays most recent members):
"Sub-action": members
Available options:
limit=x - display only the "x" most recent members
Example: http://www.ranchomurietaonline.com/f...mbers;limit=10
