New GroupServer feature list
From E-Democracy.org
This is a list of newly released GroupServer features and customizations used at http://forums.e-democracy.org
This list is designed to assist our technical support team and forum managers in using and explaining these features.
Insert Subscribe Box for a Forum
You may now insert a subscribe box to start the subscription process from an external web site.
The HTML code to use is available on pages like this - replace "bemmy-forum" with the listname of the desired group.
Example instructions: http://forums.e-democracy.org/groups/bemmy-forum/admin_remote_request_register.html
Web Feed for Topic Searches
An ATOM feed for topic searches: http://forums.e-democracy.org/s/search.atom
You can create your own custom feeds by:
- Preforming the topic-search you want.
- Replacing anything in the URL between the last "/" and the "?" with "search.atom"
- Then use the feed as needed.
- Examples:
- The 10 latest TOPICS on the Minneapolis Issues Forum: http://forums.e-democracy.org/s/search.atom?s=&g=mpls&a=&t=1&p=0&f=0&r=0&i=0&l=10
- The 20 latest TOPICS across the site: http://forums.e-democracy.org/s/search.atom?s=&g=&a=&t=1&p=0&f=0&r=0&i=0&l=20
To insert JavaScript in a web page using E-Democracy.Org to render the feed, edit from this code - Adjust listname@ in this case "mpls" to the group you want and the final number "10" to the number of topics you wish to display:
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://e-democracy.org/feeds/feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.e-democracy.org%2Fs%2Fsearch.atom%3Fs%3D%26g%3Dmpls%26a%3D%26t%3D1%26p%3D0%26f%3D0%26r%3D0%26i%3D0%26l%3D10&chan=y" type="text/javascript"></script>
If your partner site can render local feeds we recommend you do that directly. Sites using our feed processor (the JavaScript thing), should notify us.
