You can now syndicate LinuxQuestions.org content

jeremy · 10-12-2001, 04:26 PM

That's right. You can now grab the latest 10 thread titles and add them to your site. I am using RSS 0.91. Just grab your favorite RSS parser and include http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/backend.php as your news source. Feel free to post if you have any questions.

We now also have an Atom feed: http://www.linuxquestions.org/syndicate/lqatom.atom

cool, i will have to add this to one of my sites once i get it all completed on everything else i need to do with it....

A few people have contacted me saying that they were interested in putting the latest LinuxQuestions.org threads on their site, but they do not know how to setup an RSS script. Now RSS is the standard synication method, but I try to be accommodating

To include the latest 10 thread title as a bulleted list simply insert the following code into your page:

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript SRC="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/js.php"></script>

BTW - if you do decide to put set this up feel free to drop me a line so I can take a look at your site. Thanks.

Thnx Jeremy, now Im using RSS, and I was wondering how hard would it be to implement having the first 2 sentences added, instead of showing just the posts title?
I know, there's pros and cons, and ppl usually dont get to the point before sentence 10 :-]
But, would it be hard to add?

A put this on the TODO list.

You should put those messeges to usenet as well, since may of linux people are using newsgroups and discuss there mostly.

Jeremy, that's a great idea to boost traffic.

A shame I don't have a website to put your content up on.

Goatdemon · 12-06-2002, 06:00 PM

p2 is a nice site, good job. (i didnt inspect the content though)

nouse66 · 03-04-2003, 09:45 PM

why dont you use that feature on THIS site? i think it would be much more usefull than having the "security rep" stuff at the top.

Ummm...I was messing around with postnuke last night and so far of come up with this. I think the linuxquestions.org section is the coolest part of the page. Thats pretty neat Jeremy. Thanks!

Yeah, you can see my LQ.org in action on my personal site here: http://www.trickykid.org/main.html

Is there any chance you would generate forum-specific backends? I would love to grab headlines of the latest posts in the Slack forum.

Thanks in advance!
