The discussion revolves around the desire for an RSS URL that displays all posts published by a specific user on a Discourse forum. Mohammad created a widget to show latest updates from his forum on his blog’s homepage and wants to allow users to display their forum activity on their websites. codinghorror agrees that a user page RSS feed would be beneficial. jgstew suggests a format for the RSS link. After codinghorror requests the feature, techAPJ announces that an RSS feed for user posts and topics is now available, with the formats being https://meta.discourse.org/users/username/activity.rss for posts and https://meta.discourse.org/users/username/activity/topics.rss for topics.
I recently created a Latest Topic and Featured Topics widget on my blog that lets readers to read about the latest updates going on my forum directly from the blog’s homepage.
I am using the RSS (/latest.rss) file created for the latest topics page and category pages but I could not find a RSS link to display posts submitted by a user.
What I want is a RSS link that will display all posts or topics published by a user. Would really appreciate if I could achieve this because readers would to show their forum activity on their websites.
Yes it really makes sense because it would help forum admins to better publicize the forum by allowing users to show their activity through a widget installed on their sites. The widget will display the recent posts published by the user by fetching post titles via a RSS link. Doesn’t that sound useful @codinghorror ?
