Syndication

FluxBB supports syndication of forums and topics in the RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 formats as well as a simple, barebones XML format. Additionally, FluxBB can generate (X)HTML markup for display on pages outside the forum install (for example, on a website front page). The syndication features are supported via the extern.php script. The script can be called directly via an URL or from a PHP include command or through the use of Server Side Includes (SSI).

Usage

The scripts behaviour is controlled via the following GET parameters:

“action”. Accepted values are:
- “feed” – show most recent topics/posts (HTML or RSS/Atom)
- “online” – show users online (HTML)
- “online_full” – as above, but includes a full list (HTML)
- “stats” – show board statistics (HTML)

type:
- “rss” – output as RSS 2.0
- “atom” – output as Atom 1.0
- “xml” – output as simple XML
- “html” – output as HTML (<li>'s)

fid: One or more forum ID's (comma-separated) to specifically include. If ignored, topics from all guest-readable forums will be pulled.
nfid: One or more forum ID's (comma-separated) that are to be excluded. E.g. the ID of a a test forum.
tid: A topic ID from which to show posts. If a tid is supplied, fid and nfid are ignored.
show: Any integer value between 1 and 50. The default is 15. This parameter is ignored for all but type=html.
