I use Google Reader to maintain my RSS feeds and I love the application. Of course G35Driver is one of my main RSS feeds that I read through it (The URL comes out to: https://g35driver.com/home/external.php?type=RSS). While I like how it indexes the entire site into the reader, I particularly like to just read a couple forums (i.e. Off-Topic and NationalGClub ). The issue is however I can't just subscribe to those two forums, I have to subscribe to the entire site. Even through Firefox if I click on the RSS icon for the page it still just adds in the URL above into my reader.

I know other sites have the big sections or even all the sections have their own RSS feed. I wonder if Driver should do the same? Maybe nobody if any would take advantage of this but I know I would I'm not even sure how difficult of a process this is. For example I also read www.howardforums.com quite a bit and each sub-forum on that site has its own RSS feed.

 

Pratik

It's been thought of and is doable but in reality, nothing like that will be looked into until after the upgrade.

 

I would totally love the rss feed for each sub-forum! hell yeah!

 

Safari seems to recognize one? For example for this section it is:

feed://g35driver.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=51

the lounge:
feed://g35driver.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=322

There is an RSS button in the url window that reveals the RSS feeds.

 

^ Nice! That does work in Google Reader!
I dont have Safari though, will need to download it to get to RSS feed links for specific sub-forums.
Well done my friend!

 

I just noticed a pattern that may save you some the time and trouble of having to install Safari (even though I think it's a great browser and highly recommend it).

the lounge RSS:
feed://g35driver.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=322
the lounge url:
https://g35driver.com/forums/lounge-off-topic-322/

g-spot RSS:
feed://g35driver.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=185
g-spot url
https://g35driver.com/forums/g-spot-185/

Feedback and Suggestions RSS:
feed://g35driver.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=51
Feedback and Suggestoins URL:
https://g35driver.com/forums/forum-f...k-suggestions-51/

Basically just go to each section, find the number at the end and replace the forum id in the RSS url.

 

For this...
https://g35driver.com/forums/dfw-g35-owners-club-136/
I subscribed to this in Google Reader...
https://g35driver.com/forums/externa...2&forumids=136
and it worked!

 

Pratik, your issue is resolved!

 

The above did not subscribe to the Events, Gallery, and Classifieds sub-sub-sections under "DFW G35 Owners Club" sub-section automatically, as I was hoping. But its all good. I can subscribe to them separately.

 

I was just reading a post re: iphone app and I figured RSS would be a good way to read the forum on a mobile device (platform independent!). I searched, and low and behold, the RSS question has already been answered. Adding feeds to Google homepage now...

FYI...this RSS link seems to work for new posts (mods can correct if I'm wrong): https://g35driver.com/forums/externa...archid=9062178
