Push Updates from Forum

Post by Fenner Bates » Sat Aug 17, 2019 5:28 am

Wish you could get push notifications from the forum when someone makes a post?
There is good news phpBB provides this as a ATOM feed to which you can subscribe so that you get notifications when a post is made! If you pick the correct feed reader then you can even add rules to prevent your posts from ping you back!

Step 1
Get your favorite RSS/ATOM feed reader. (I'm using this chrome extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... jfmnpnmdfa)

Step 2
Add the feed URL to your reader. In this case you use

Code: Select all

https://svartalfheim.org/app.php/feed
Step 3 (Optional)
Create a new rule that checks the author of the post against your username you are using to post here.

Step 4
Profit and enjoy notifications from the reader whenever the DM or your fellow players makes a post!
