Facebook RSS

With the new RSS feed plugin. I thought I would share. Here is how to get a facebook page or friend page or even your own as a rss feed address through Facebook. http://fbrss.com/ I am working on it but it works with google reeder. Checking if it works with the plugin..

Well it didnt work but i figured out a fix and how to make it work.. 1. type in url https://graph.facebook.com/your-page-name (has to be a public page) 2. find your page ID list on the top just says id": "1059834894xxxxx", 3. put https://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=1059834xxxxxxx&format=rss20 in the rss plugin. Put your id in the id spot. 4. paste in the rss plugin and there you have it a Facebook RSS Jim

Works nice.. The menu story header in the menu brings you right to the story instead of the whole FB page

I'm thinks cause they are private .. if you could open the group up? Just like my personal profile is private so it would work.. If there was a way to get around it by logging in.. And have access .. I haven't figured a way around this

Yeah I suspected as much. I have a couple clients that set up groups a while ago and would like to integrate them into the app. I've had to say "you really need to use Pages because they're public". Frankly, I like the mobile formatting FB already does. I don't see the need to load it into an RSS reader

ACE. EXACTLY what I needed! Who says cheeseheads are a bunch of .....;) I've tried a few of those RSS builder tricks to make one but this nails it perfectly. Works the same with my Android RSS, the detail screen is the "story" and the image elements even display. I think this works because it's using the Graph API which is the underlying framework of FB. They may change their site daily, pull or reformat feeds and forsake privacy and spam you with advertising - but they won't tinker with Graph much because it's really their foundation. Can you make the RSS do Twitter next? I've been looking at a few sites to get a valid feed. I've been told this will if you read thier how to but haven't gotten it with the image element. http://www.pixsy.net/ You making the drive next weekend? (and are you guys drafting Montee Ball or Lacey? You need a RB)

I have done twitter before.. I will look it up when I'm not driving.. Funny u mentioned the draft .. I submitted a draft app on Monday to apple Lacy is injury prone and will go late 1st.. Ball may go second or third .. We are set with rb with Harris and Starks :) Great job on trestman.. He won a four team league.. I guess we have to win the division again.. Playoff tickets get expensive each year :) I can't make it.. Got 10 inches of snow the last 2 days and need a new roof.. Only 10hr drive though I love St. Louis was nice a few years back I drove there Go pack

Thanks. The Twitter would be Huge. We're clearing house, sent the face of the franchise out to pasture and this is the do or die season for Cutler. If he can't beat you guys once and they re-up him, I'll loose it. I was hoping you'd keep Benson around. Possible snow here today - watch us get a blizzard next Friday! Bummer we won't see you - and send me a link to the draft app when it gets approved :) Da BEARS!

Excellent. Talk about a Discount Double Check! FB & Twitter are huge RSS feeds to have in apps. Appreciate the help. I think I tried that site before but with my RSS plug-in. I'll give it another shot with the new RD RSS one and see what I get. I'm gonna look at Pintrest, Instagram next....

Pintrest View a USER RSS feed by going to the user’s Pinterest URL, and adding /feed.rss to the end of the link. Like this example: (my username is ‘askkim’) http://pinterest.com/askkim/feed.rss View a specific BOARD feed by going to the board URL, replace the final / with .rss Like this example: (my board name is ‘noms’) http://pinterest.com/askkim/noms.rss

So Facebook now has apparently broken the mobile view for fan pages - users have to log in now to see the page. So, looks like I'll be using RSS in my apps for FB. How are you guys formatting your FB feeds in the RSS plugin? Has anyone been able to pull the images out of the story content and use them as icons in the tableview?
