Football Feeds

[Dodge]

If they wanted that they could go to UEFA, FAI, RTE etc and get the feeds themselves surely?

[GavinZac]

If i write a small plugin for vbulletin that'll put an option in the user control panel to ignore the football feeds forum in the new posts section, would it be used?

it'd just be a little checkbox that decides whether &exclude=33 is placed in that link on the navbar, or not.

Looks like they are on the blink as 20 pages of them.

Unless this site is getting paid to display they seem pointless at the best of times.

Eh?


I got 20 pages of them when clicked new posts yesterday. Maybe was only my account as a lot of them were old feeds from months ago...

:confused:

TBH I'd like to turn it off but with a replacement in place, and I haven't had time to configure and skin the replacement. We're looking at reskinning everything later in the year so it'll probably happen then.

I got them as well-seemed to be all the feeds since Euro finals started?.
I wouldn't miss them as I very seldom look at them.

Is there any way I can ignore the football feeds section of the site? I never read anything from there and its just a nuisance having to mark it as read every time I log in.

Never cared enough to make a topic on it, but now there is a topic might as well add I think it's a really pointless forum. You only need to see the thread views to see that.

[superfrank]

I quite enjoy them. I never go to UEFA.com but every now and again there'll be a link I find interesting and I'll check it out.

[Mr A]

Likewise.

[dahamsta]

There's a thread somewhere with a link you can use that excludes the forum from a New Posts search. Try searching for "feeds" in this forum.

It'll be replaced at some point, but I'm not sure when.

Found it, cheers.

I've set up a twitter account for when I update the new Irish Abroad site: http://twitter.com/irish_abroad
can you add its RSS feed to the feeds folder - http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/106106241.rss

It's only going to be updated when the site is updated, or if there's an outage, none of the usual "my cat's breath smells like cat food" rubbish

have you thought about adding the individual club RSS feeds adam?

YOu can see the pats ones here; http://www.stpatsfc.com/rss.php

Interesting idea. You could maybe add them to the individual club forums too.

No thanks. I specifically avoid the feeds on my New Posts page, I don't want it cluttered up with them all over other forums.

[dahamsta]

Make a list and I'll do them in a batch. Irish football related only.

Ideally I'd like to aggregate them properly into a separate feeds section, but vB doesn't really lend itself to that, and the aggregator I installed before wasn't used.
