I am sorry, not sure I follow what you want to do…  you want rss to only include new topics?  you can do this using the filters available in the rss feeds routine…

Exactly. I am trying to take existing rss feeds from certain forums only and include topics only but do not want the replies to show in the rss to said topics.

I think Steve (Mr Papa) is probably wrong – I don’t see a filter in the RSS code that would help.

But – I would have no problem adding one into the core that you could use. I will need a little time to investigate and see what I can come up with…

OK – you can try this but be warned – not tested out that much so you might have to undo it again!

First up edit the core file /simple-press/forum/feeds/sp-feeds.php

Locate the comment that reads ‘# Execute the query’ and immediately ABOVE that line add this:

$where = apply_filters('sph_rss_where', $where, $feed);

Then open up the spFunctions.php file of your SP theme – in the templates folder. And add this function:

add_filter('sph_rss_where', 'rssFirstPostOnly', 1, 2);
function rssFirstPostOnly($where, $feed) {
    $where.= ' AND '.SFPOSTS.'.post_index = 1';
    return $where;
}

Be careful with all the full-stops and spaces in there. It needs to be exact!

See if this does the trick. If it does we can add that filter to the RSS feeds code so you know it will be there in the next update of SP.

As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/)

I was talking about a filter on the post list class query for feeds…  would have accomplished the same thing…

but no issue with a specific rss filter either…  think there is an existing ticket on that anyways…

Separation of powers.

OPShots: Can you tell me if this worked for you please? It wont get into the core for the next update without some feedback…

Working great! Thank you very much. Sorry for the late reply, my internet connection had some hiccups. Awesome feature!

okay, thanks… we will get the function specific filter in place for this…
