We are happy to provide the XML feeds and simple JavaScript feeds from our Computer forums.
Our XML feeds are compatable with most RSS readers that support any version of RSS.
You can also write your own XML parser to parse our XML feed.
Here is how to get our XML feed:
http://www.webservertalk.com/forum.xml for the latest 10 posts from our forums
To get the latest 10 posts from a specific forum just add the forum ID before the .xml part: For example, if you want to get the latest posts from the "Sendmail Support" forum, which happens to be located at http://www.webservertalk.com/Sendmail_support_58.htm just add the 58 to the .xml file like this:
http://www.webservertalk.com/forum58.xml
You can also get the XML feed from a category instead of forum. For example, to get the xml feed from the "Free Database Support" category, which is located at this url: http://www.webservertalk.com/Free_Databases_support_forum_34.htm just replace add the forum ID 34 to the XML file like this: http://www.webservertalk.com/forum34.xml
In this case, you will get the latest posts from all the sub-forums in this category.
Add just one line of code to your page and have title of the most active topics discussed on our forums - topics with the most replies in the last 7 days.
The links, number of replies and views are dynamically updates, so you will always have titles and links to the hottest topics right on your website.
Insert this code on your site where you want the active topics to appear:
Just copy the code from the form below:
This code will generate list of 10 latest topics, the font size for links will be 1 and font face will be "verdana" and links will have bold font type
You can replace the following variables in the code:
c=10 You can replace the 10 with 1 though 10 for the number of most active topics to display
s=1 You an replace the 1 with any font size you want between 1 and 9
f=1 This is for font face. 1="verdana", 2="times new roman", 3="arial"
a=1 for bold type links, a=0 for regular links.
t=1 leave this to have link open in new window or change this to t=0 to have link open in the same window
3) Same as option 2 but the links are to the latest topics instead of the most active topics. This is option generates the most often updated titles - our forums receive on average one new post every 2 minutes of the day, so you'll always have the links to fresh topics. With this option, your links will be updated at least once every 2 minutes. Just add this code to the end of code in option 2:
&d=1
for example:
Copy the code from the form below
To get a feed from a specific forum, just add the variable fid to forum ID.
For example, to get the feed for Sendmail Support forum only, (which has the forum id of 58) just add the &fid=58 to the end of the string.
