new site rss?

patrickdrd

I’ve just noticed https://notepad-plus-plus.org/feed.rss isn’t working anymore and
I clicked the site and noticed the new design,
please include rss feed too

@patrickdrd ,

I don’t see a new https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/feed.rss, nor any mention of a rss url in the source code for the main page. However, each category (“Announcements”, “FAQ”, “General Discussion”, …) has it’s own RSS button/link: for example, “Help Wanted” is at https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/category/4.rss?uid=...&token=... (I don’t know if the uid and token change for each user, so I eliminated them from my copy/paste; just go to the category page, and grab the link from the RSS icon.) So if there isn’t a global RSS, you could presumably link/subscribe to the individual category feeds.

(And there might be a global feed that I just couldn’t immediately find. you might want to google for NodeBB rss feeds)

A note about the RSS feed is found here but I’m not sure what it really means (the note, not an RSS feed). @patrickdrd , maybe read that for yourself?

patrickdrd

ara you sure @Alan-Kilborn ?
this link dates back to 2011-07-11

@patrickdrd

Haha, no I’m not sure. I didn’t notice the date on that page. Since that page had the new(est) look to it, I thought it had been recently migrated/updated. I guess it was just “carried over”. Sorry for any confusion I caused.

I found this page, which says that recent.rss should be close to what you want. For us, it’s at https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/recent.rss , or from the RSS icon on https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/recent …

it doesn’t have all posts for all of time… but “recent” is probably good enough (the default rss went back about a week, at least for me)

patrickdrd

I wanted something like

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/recent.rss

(for the main page)

In my experience, static pages (like the main page) don’t usually have RSS feeds. RSS feeds are for things like blogs and forums.

I guess I could see a reason for having a feed for something like the news or downloads page, so you can easily see when a new release is made… but I’m not aware of such a feed on the updated main page. Sorry.

patrickdrd

the previous version of the site had rss working

anyway, the new site is having issues as well,
I’ve got a couple of these recently:

Error 520
Web server is returning an unknown error

@patrickdrd ,

I recently went to the “resources” page, and found Resources#RSS of Notepad++ Site, which links to https://notepad-plus-plus.org/index.xml, which consists of an <rss...> element. It seems to have <item>s for each of the website updates and version releases, so I think it contains the RSS feed you were looking for.

`This might be the feed you are looking for`

@Ekopalypse ,

That one is the feed for this Forum topic, and this topic only. The one I showed two weeks ago was the “unread topics” feed for the whole Community Forum.

The one @patrickdrd wanted was an RSS feed for the main notepad-plus-plus.org website, which will show updates to the main site (so new pages, new-version announcements, and the like) – basically, the RSS-feed equivalent of the news page. I believe that’s what I found today.

Oh, and I now even see the RSS link (to the same page I linked above Master Kenobi) on the main https://notepad-plus-plus.org/ page…

I thought you were talking about this community/forum site, sorry for confusion.

If you read back through the conversation, I thought the same thing. It wasn’t until @patrickdrd 's penultimate post that I realized he meant the main site. :-)
