Feb-26-13 - RSS Feeds - (regs)
I know a lot of people here were having trouble using our RSS feed setup and it frustrated a lot of you. I apologize for the inconvenience this must have caused all of you. To be quite honest, since I don't use RSS feeds I never really gave it a second thought and while trying to help, it wasn't necessarily on my "must fix" list since we had so much going on at the time.
To help everyone out with RSS feeds I have created a new file that will automatically generate the feed for you. It can be found here:
https://www.blackcats-games.net/feeds.php (it is listed under the torrents tab in naito, and not sure where I put it on ICG but its on one of the sidebars)
All you have to do is choose which categories you want to track by checking them off and choose the type of feed you like, Web (browser viewing) or download. If no boxes are checked off and you choose download as the feed type, please be careful since that will list ALL new torrents and depending how you have your RSS reader setup automatically download them as well.
For this to work properly, if you haven't re logged in over the past 8 hours or so you will have to re login before you can use the feeds. We use a custom field in our cookies called "logged_in_token" and we weren't setting it in the database before. Now we are and since it is required for "download" RSS feeds to work, you will need to re-login so that information is inserted and the feed that is generated is the right one. Every time you re login to the website, the logged_in_token changes so you need to regenerate the feed.
Hope this helps alot of you out and sorry for the delay...this method was actually suggested yesterday by one of your fellow members in our IRC #help channel so I got working on it right away.
