feeds/index.php - Use feeds to exchange news with other web servers

Configuring feeding channels between servers is the very first mean to expand a YACS community.

The patterns that are supported at the moment are quite straightforward, as usual:

outbound feeding pattern
inbound feeding pattern

The outbound feeding pattern provides the newest articles to other polling servers. You only have to configure some descriptive information (into feeds/parameters.include.php) that will be embedded into generated files, and that's it.

Resources are available in several formats:

atom_0.3.php supports the version 0.3 of the ATOM standard
rss_2.0.php supports the version 2.0 of the RSS standard
rss_1.0.php supports the version 1.0 of the RDF/RSS standard
rss_0.92.php is for older pieces of software
describe.php is an OPML list of most important feeds at this site

More specific outbound feeds are available at sections/feed.php, categories/feed.php, and users/feed.php. You can also build a feed on particular keywords, at services/search.php.

Bloggers will use another feed to download full contents, at articles/feed.php. Comments are available as RSS at comments/feed.php.

YACS also builds a feed to list most recent public files at files/feed.php.

Associates can benefit from another specific feed to monitor the event log, at agents/feed.php.

Moreover, this page also features links to add the main RSS feed either to Yahoo! or to NewsGator, in an extra box.

The inbound feeding pattern is used to fetch fresh information from targeted servers. Once the list of feeding servers has been configured (into feeds/parameters.include.php), everything happens automatically. Feeders are polled periodically (see feeds/configure.php) and items are put in the database as news links. Items may be listed into any part of your server using the Feeds class.
