Combined Forum RSS feed
Submitted by ryanw on Wed, 09/03/2008 - 11:10.
I see feeds at the individual forum level, but can we add a feed for all forums combined? Even if it's just a Yahoo Pipe, with a link on the forums page, that could do the job. Here's the Pipe I created:

good idea

The easiest route is to take the current RSS link from one of the forums, e.g., http://www.pdxwi.com/taxonomy/term/1/0/feed, and modify it to include all the categories. So it would look like this:
http://www.pdxwi.com/taxonomy/term/1+2+3/0/feed
You can also create a new View, just containing forum posts, and only expose the RSS feed.
I updated the forum page to display this feed via the template.php file. The only catch is that as we add categories, this will have to be updated. A simple script would fix this by grabbing the necessary IDs from the db, or the Views based solution.
