如何从论坛主题制作RSS feed

We spend a lot of our online time in an RSS reader, but not everything we want to follow has an RSS feed. There are web apps to monitor pages for changes, but forum threads spill over onto many pages – how can you get an RSS feed for a specific thread?

我们将大量的在线时间都花在RSS阅读器上，但并非所有我们想关注的内容都有RSS feed。 有一些Web应用程序可以监视页面的更改，但是论坛线程会扩散到许多页面上-如何获得特定线程的RSS feed？

The trick to doing this is by using a common feature of most forum software: thread subscriptions. Typically these can be set up to email you whenever a new post is made – we’re going to take those emails and generate an RSS feed from them.

做到这一点的技巧是使用大多数论坛软件的共同功能：线程订阅。 通常，可以将它们设置为在发布新帖子时通过电子邮件发送给您-我们将接收这些电子邮件并从中生成RSS feed。

There are a few web apps out there that claim to be able to generate RSS feeds from your email, but none that we tried worked well in our testing. Additionally, they all required your email password, which we’d like to avoid giving out.

有一些Web应用程序声称能够从您的电子邮件中生成RSS feed，但是我们尝试过的所有应用程序都无法在我们的测试中很好地工作。 此外，他们都需要您的电子邮件密码，我们希望避免将其泄露出去。

We’re going to show you a method that uses Blogger’s post via email feature to generate a reliable RSS feed. It may take a while to set up, but once it is, you’ll be able to add new forum threads to your feed quickly and easily!

我们将向您展示一种方法，该方法使用Blogger的通过电子邮件发布帖子的功能来生成可靠的RSS Feed。 设置可能需要一段时间，但是一旦完成，您就可以快速，轻松地将新的论坛主题添加到您的Feed中！

设置：在Blogger中创建新博客 (Setup: Create a New Blog at Blogger)

The first step is to create a new blog using Google’s Blogger service. This blog will aggregate the thread subscription emails, and we can subscribe to the blog’s feed once it’s all set up.

第一步是使用Google的Blogger服务创建一个新博客。 该博客将汇总线程订阅电子邮件，并且一旦完成所有设置，我们就可以订阅该博客的供稿。

Head to blogger.com. If you don’t already have a Google account, create one. Once you’re logged in, click on the Create a Blog link.

前往blogger.com。 如果您还没有Google帐户，请创建一个。 登录后，单击“创建博客”链接。

Give your blog an appropriate title and an easy-to-remember URL.

给您的博客适当的标题和易于记忆的URL。

Since you’re mainly using Blogger as a means of creating an RSS feed, the template you choose won’t matter much, but feel free to choose one that you like.

由于您主要是使用Blogger来创建RSS feed的，因此您选择的模板没有多大关系，但是可以随意选择自己喜欢的模板。

Your blog has now been created! There are a few settings that you should change, since this isn’t the type of blog that you will want to be getting a ton of hits.

您的博客现已创建！ 您应该更改一些设置，因为这不是您希望获得大量点击的博客类型。

Head to the Settings page for your blog. In the Basic section of the settings page, choose not to add your blog to Google’s listings, and hide it from search engines.

转到博客的“设置”页面。 在设置页面的“基本”部分中，选择不将您的博客添加到Google列表中，并在搜索引擎中将其隐藏。

Go to the Site Feed section, and ensure that Blog Feeds are enabled – we prefer Full feeds, but you can choose Short if you prefer.

转到“网站供稿”部分，并确保启用了博客供稿-我们更喜欢“完整”供稿，但如果愿意，可以选择“简短”。

Go to the Email & Mobile section. Choose to Publish emails immediately, and enter some hard-to-guess secret words for the posting email address. Make a note of the posting email address, as we’ll be using it later on.

转到电子邮件和移动部分。 选择立即发布电子邮件，然后为发布电子邮件地址输入一些难以猜测的秘密单词。 记下发布的电子邮件地址，稍后我们将使用它。

If your feed reader is able to handle feeds that require authentication, like most desktop readers or Netvibes, then you might want to lock down your blog so that only you can access it. This is especially important if the forum thread you plan to subscribe to requires authentication through the forum software.

如果您的提要阅读器能够像大多数桌面阅读器或Netvibes一样处理需要认证的提要，那么您可能希望锁定博客，以便只有您可以访问它。 如果您打算订阅的论坛线程需要通过论坛软件进行身份验证，则这一点尤其重要。

To lock down your blog, go to the Permissions section. Select the Only blog authors radio button.

要锁定您的博客，请转到“权限”部分。 选择仅博客作者单选按钮。

If your feed reader does not support authenticated feeds, like Google Reader, you will need to keep your blog public.

如果您的供稿阅读器不支持经过身份验证的供稿，例如Google Reader，则需要将博客保持公开状态。

Ensure that in the Permissions section, the Anybody radio button is selected.

确保在“权限”部分中，选中“任何人”单选按钮。

If you’re concerned about copyright issues from reposting items from forum threads, you may wish to give proper attribution.

如果您担心从论坛主题中重新发布项目而引起的版权问题，则不妨注明出处。

Click on the Design tab at the top of the settings page. Click on the Edit link next to the Attribution box and enter an appropriate message about the copyright of the posts on your blog.

单击设置页面顶部的“设计”选项卡。 单击“归因”框旁边的“编辑”链接，然后输入有关您博客上帖子版权的适当消息。

Your blog is now set up to accept posts via email! The last step is to subscribe to the RSS feed that your blog generates. The link should be easy to find when you view the main page of your blog.

您的博客现已设置为通过电子邮件接受帖子！ 最后一步是订阅您的博客生成的RSS feed。 当您查看博客主页时，该链接应该很容易找到。

设置：从论坛主题转发电子邮件 (Setup: Forward Email from the Forum Thread)

The goal of this section is to forward the emails being sent to you from the forum software to the email posting address you defined above (tbekolay.secretWords@blogger.com in the screenshots above).

本部分的目的是将论坛软件发送给您的电子邮件转发到您在上面定义的电子邮件发布地址(上面的屏幕快照中的tbekolay.secretWords@blogger.com)。

There are many ways to automate this:

有很多方法可以自动执行此操作：

• create a new email address and forward all email from that account
  创建一个新的电子邮件地址并转发该帐户中的所有电子邮件
• create a filter based on the title of the incoming email
  根据传入电子邮件的标题创建过滤器

• use sub-addressing and forward all email to the sub-address

  使用子地址并将所有电子邮件转发到该子地址

  • e.g. user+tag@gmail.com, user-tag@yahoo.com
    例如user+tag@gmail.com，user-tag@yahoo.com

In our example, we’re going to the sub-addressing method. We’ll show how to accomplish this in Gmail with a simple filter.

在我们的示例中，我们将使用子寻址方法。 我们将通过一个简单的过滤器展示如何在Gmail中完成此操作。

The first step is to set up a forwarding email address.

第一步是设置转发电子邮件地址。

In Gmail, click on the Settings link at the top-right of the page. Go to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab, and then click on Add a forwarding address.

在Gmail中，单击页面右上方的设置链接。 转到“转发和POP / IMAP”选项卡，然后单击“添加转发地址” 。

Enter the email posting address that you chose earlier.

输入您先前选择的电子邮件发布地址。

Gmail will send a confirmation email to that address, so head over to your blog and you’ll see the email.

Gmail会向该地址发送一封确认电子邮件，因此转到您的博客，您将看到该电子邮件。

Click on the confirmation link.

点击确认链接。

For safety’s sake, you should delete this “post”. Go to the Posting section of your blog’s configuration, click on Edit Posts and delete the confirmation email post.

为了安全起见，您应该删除此“帖子”。 转到博客配置的“发布”部分，单击“编辑帖子”并删除确认电子邮件帖子。

Now you’re ready to create a filter. In the main Gmail interface, click on the Create a filter link to the right of the search box.

现在您可以创建过滤器了。 在Gmail主界面中，点击搜索框右侧的创建过滤器链接。

We’re going to filter based on the To field of an email. We’ll use a sub-addressed address (user+tag@gmail.com). Enter in this information, and click the Next Step button.

我们将基于电子邮件的“收件人”字段进行过滤。 我们将使用一个子地址( user+tag@gmail.com )。 输入此信息，然后单击下一步按钮。

We’d prefer to keep our Gmail account clear of these forum thread emails, so we’re going to forward the filtered email to the posting address and then delete it. You may wish to apply a label and archive it instead. Click Create Filter after you choose.

我们希望我们的Gmail帐户中没有这些论坛主题电子邮件，因此我们将过滤后的电子邮件转发到发帖地址，然后将其删除。 您可能希望应用标签并将其存档。 选择后，单击创建过滤器。

And that’s it! Now any email sent to your sub-address will be posted on your blog and consequently your blog’s RSS feed.

就是这样！ 现在，发送到您的子地址的所有电子邮件都将发布在您的博客上，并因此发布在博客的RSS feed中。

用法：订阅论坛主题 (Usage: Subscribing to Forum Threads)

Now your hard work pays off! Head to the forum you want to follow.

现在，您的辛勤工作得到了回报！ 前往您要关注的论坛。

If you haven’t registered for the forum yet, then feel free to register with your sub-address. You might have to follow a link on your blog and delete that post later, but you won’t have to bother opening up your email at all.

如果您尚未注册论坛，请随时使用您的子地址进行注册。 您可能必须点击博客上的链接，然后再删除该帖子，但是您根本不必费心打开电子邮件。

If you’ve already registered, then look in your account options for a place to change your email address. Enter in the sub-address.

如果您已经注册，则在帐户选项中查找更改电子邮件地址的位置。 输入子地址。

Find the thread you want to follow. Most forum software will have a link for you to subscribe to the thread. Find it, and click on it.

找到您要关注的话题。 大多数论坛软件都会有一个链接供您订阅该主题。 找到它，然后单击它。

Some give you different subscription options. Choose whichever option you like!

有些为您提供不同的订阅选项。 选择您喜欢的任何一个选项！

Now, whenever someone replies to your subscribed thread…

现在，只要有人回复您订阅的线程...

It gets posted to your blog…

它被发布到您的博客中...

Which ends up in your RSS reader.

最终出现在您的RSS阅读器中。

奖金用法：邮件列表和新闻通讯 (Bonus Usage: Mailing Lists and Newsletters)

Once you run through the setup steps, you can use your sub-address to receive any email that you would rather peruse through your RSS reader. You probably want to do this only for email that is already available to the public, like mailing lists…

完成设置步骤后，您可以使用子地址接收您希望通过RSS阅读器阅读的任何电子邮件。 您可能只想对已经公开的电子邮件(例如邮件列表)进行此操作……

Or newsletters.

或新闻通讯。

This is one of those tricks that we use all the time. It takes a few minutes to set up, but quickly subscribing to interesting threads is much more manageable than keeping tabs open indefinitely!

这是我们一直使用的技巧之一。 设置需要花费几分钟，但是快速订阅有趣的线程比无限期打开选项卡更容易管理！
