Chief Delphi - CD Feed

- CD Forum Support (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=8)

- - CD Feed (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24871)

I was looking through the php script found in the nrg.chaosnet.org repository and was trying to figure out how to access the thread id value so that i could create a link to that specific thread using the url chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=[the desired thread #]. Is this possible? or is there some other way of doing it?

I have one made up that's going on our new site...if anyone would like, I can post it in the White Papers.

It's really just a modded version of what Brandon had up here before i beileve...I'd have to look again.

You want the threadid via the XML? .. or you want to get it just by browsing?

Unfortunately, the external.xml that CD provides only gives the thread's author, not the post's author. I hope this changed soon ;)

You can see the following code in action at: http://nrg.chaosnet.org/resource/pro...eed/cdfeed.php

The code is also stored in the repository, as usual...

Thank you, this is pretty much what I was looking for.
