I want to be able to create a RSS flow based on the new topics that are created in a phpbb forum.
This forum has no rss subscription available and I'm not the owner of the forum so I cannot modify/add rss flow in the settings.
I already tried with http://createfeed.fivefilters.org/ and with a Yahoo pipe, I get the topics names great in the RSS flow.
My problem is that the same topics are coming again and again, several times a day.
Any idea how I can do to have only the NEW topics and/or messages ?
The forum in question is http://www.chartemontsdor.fr/viewforum.php?f=14&sid=5f9086b668372b8d9dc90210cfc15d3f
The simplest way would be to contact the forum admin and ask them to enable the Atom feed for the forum, which comes built into phpBB.

I'm working on a web project that will consist of an online shop that will create some kind of blog post after checkout and let you edit this blog post.
So the customer can just buy a post on my website and edit it as he likes.
The post may contain text and media.
I'm looking for a nice tech stack to develop this online platform.
I have some kind of proof of concept using WordPress, WooCommerce, and a self developed plugin that will create a blog post after a WooCommerce checkout event and turn the ownership of the post to the customer's account.
The plugin also limits the maximum amount of media for upload and restricts access to the media of other users.
Next steps will be to modify the WooCommerce account page and list the blog posts there with a link to the editor, so the customer can edit posts anytime.
But I think this solution lacks scalability.
Depending on the popularity of the platform, there will be a lot of blog posts created, and I fear that someday, after a couple of thousand blog posts with multiple media types, etc., WordPress will come to its limits.
I have read something about static site generators, and I'm wondering if it's possible to have an online shop that will create a static site and let the customer edit it like my WordPress proof of concept now. With a nice editor and the possibility for online payment, etc.
Is there anybody that can recommend a nice stack for this kind of platform? Or maybe someone who can take my fears about the scalability of WordPress away?
A bit of context: I am developing a web application based on the wordpress LMS : Learndash.
I have been able to get a lot of data using the REST api, courses, lessons, quizzes, but I don't find the way to submit the user's answers of a quizz.
I have double read the documentations https://developers.learndash.com/rest-api/v1 and https://developers.learndash.com/rest-api/v2 but I don't find the endpoint that I need.
I am probably missing something.
Do you have any solution ?
Thank you.
I´m currently developing the Intranet for the company I am working for. The site is currently based on SharePoint, but I have to migrate it to Wordpress. And that´s my first developer experience with Wordpress, you just should know. Creating the theme, content and working with the WP Admin area works very well, but where I´m feeling defenseless is the permissions topic.
Generally, the whole page content is managed by the Marketing department. So, for me it is ok that they have access to WP Admin and I would use one of the predefined roles available.
But there will be also an area for the departments where specified users per department should be able to
edit the pre created page content
add subpages and edit its content (it would be nice if it can be defined which page templates can be selected by the user)
add posts for a pre created category (that should not be changeable by the user)
edit its profile and password
A whole access to WP Admin should be therefore prevented.
I read much information about roles, capabilities and reviewed forums and blogs presenting potential plugins. But to be honest, I´ve lost the overview and I´m totally scared about what´s the right way to do such like this the professional way.
Is there anybody who was already in such a situation or knows a good resource where to read more?
Thanks a lot.

PressPermit is the tool I choosed. It covers all needs described in my question.
Note: To use all features, you need to buy a support subscription currently available for $55 a year for one site.
However, a very powerful tool and in comparison to Advanced Access Manager I tried before, it really supports permissions also for multiple roles.
If you are thinking about, use the screencasts to see if the tool cover your needs. Unfortunately, there is no trial available, but you can request an evolution wordpress installation which was setup within one day in my case. This service costs $5.
You may have seen WP plugins that allow guests to submit posts. Those submissions proceed to the WP posts area where the admin can edit/publish them.
I want to create a form like this that I can install on my (and other people's) computers, so they can fill out the form fields for a WP post, save offline, then send to my WP site when ready.
Can anyone tell me the steps involved, and, if there is a description for what type of thing this is, please let me know to aid my search.
I am learning code at present and want to learn while building tools.
Thanks
Hi hope I can give you some hints with this answer.
I don't know what programming language you would like to use, but for the communication with your Wordpress blog you could use the WP API to create a post over REST API. It offers a API to create and edit your Wordpress Posts over HTTP.
Your programm just have to check if an connection is possible and then execute the API calls.
You could use an database to store all created post and then call the Create Post Task with the POST Method over HTTP for each post saved offline.
When the creation was successful you could update your offline database, so that the post is marked as already created.
On a forum I'm on there's a news section where members post news. Every day it seems there is articles about Apple and someone made a petition to have apple articles removed as it's the same stories day in day out. Each forum section has an RSS feed.
That got me thinking that it would be cool to see what news stories were trending that day on the site, but I am stuck as I don't have ANY access to the database or back end as I'm a normal user. Can anyone think of a way that I could achieve this?
I have a server that I could host the results on.
Does the site have a API or rss feed?
If not you can only read the content with permissions of the site owner using file_get_contents($url).
