Can we add "feed" function on Discourse?

There are multi feed subscription websites. I’m wondering whether we can add feed on discourse. Like show the feed contents on the Discourse, or let Discourse be feeded.

You might want to look at:

It might not be immediately clear from the other answer that I think all you want to know is that you can just add RSS to any URL that makes sense.

So? Not working you mean?

If what you want to do is get an RSS feed of a Discourse category, then you need only add .rss to that URL (which you can see by clicking the URL).

If what you want is to embed some other site’s rss feed into Discourse, my answer is no help.

There was once this topic, but I haven’t a clue what ever came out of it

Good point.

@LeoMcA what became of your RSS plugin? I don’t see it on your github page.

Oh, but I do! I found discourse-rss-poster, last updated Dec 3, 2016.

View source to find the proper RSS feed discovery tags, which is what RSS readers actually do… don’t just randomly slap .rss on the end of URLs, no matter what @pfaffman says :wink:

它还在呢 :wink:

不过,是的,我最近还没仔细看过它。它可能已经完全无法使用了。我知道有一些 bug 报告在流传,但我还没来得及处理。等我有时间了,我会最终在 Customization > Plugin 中正式发布这个插件。


我知道,因为我没有时间维护插件,所以询问某个功能是否会被核心代码接受,这有点像是在钻空子。但是 @team,你们觉得将“从 RSS 源发布帖子”的功能纳入核心代码是否合适?这似乎是一个经常被提及的需求,而且其他论坛软件中也具备这一功能。

When it comes to nice-to-haves we usually leave it up to our customers to decide. If one or two customers asked for this plugin, we might consider adopting it as an officially supported plugin. Only if a whole lot of people ask for it would be consider building it into core.

One thing it has going for it is that it’s a “seeding tool” to easily get some content/discussions started on your forum; we like seeding tools, because growing a community from scratch is hard, and we strongly prefer this type of method over slightly more dubious approaches like posting with fake users.

p.s. Don’t be shy about asking for :moneybag: to do extra development! I know charging money for basic maintenance & upkeep is a bit awkward, but unfortunately this will happen frequently so long as plugin developers need to keep up with the fast moving target that is Discourse beta/tests-passed. One great new option for support these days is https://opencollective.com/

You gently tell users to support you there if they’d like to expedite development.
