Not sure if this is the place or not, but....for WebGUI, I did some searches and couldn't find my answer, so.... 1. Is there a RSS Feed import plugin for posting articles from other sites? 2. Are there any bridges available for other forum software packages? Thanks in advance, Jason --- (Edited on 10/11/2011 2:36 pm [GMT-0500] by pctoolbin) --- |

Hi Jason, The Syndicated Content asset will allow you to consume feeds from other websites. It supports the ability to combine & filter feeds (giving it a semblance of Yahoo Pipes). It, in turn, generates an RSS feed of the results. This asset is listed under the Utilities section in the Admin Bar. As for a bridge to pull other forums into WebGUI's Collaboration System, I'm not aware of any. However, it's somewhat trivial to write a utility script that can create posts and threads so there may be something in the Add-ons and Plugins section of this website. Take a look at the sbin folder for the skeleton utility script (_utility.skeleton) and examples such as the galleryImport.pl or generateContent.pl. Let us know how these work out for you. Happy Trails, ---- --- (Edited on 10/11/2011 4:07 pm [GMT-0400] by knowmad) --- |

One way to bridge to another system (particularly one running PHP) is to use the HTTP Proxy asset. This allows you to embed other sites right inside your WebGUI site. You can also use passThru URLs to prevent WebGUI from handling certain URLs on your site and to give other apache handlers the chance to take over. Neither of these solutions would be able to take advantage of WebGUI's accounts, privileges and othe features. --- (Edited on 10/11/2011 7:47 pm [GMT-0700] by perlDreamer) --- |
