Yes, i mean the syndicate button from the module actions. I know it uses the core search indexing, and it seems to work just fine, except like i said.. i only get posts of the last day (and my forum is a lot less crowded than this one ;))

Considering all, its efficient of course to only show the latest post, i'll just have to look for a news/rss module that can store the items....

I just noticed something funny though. Right now the latest post on my forum is this: http://www.apollo-software.nl/Forum/tabid/163/Default.aspx?postid=326, and navigating there works fine, only the posts are repeated once. Please take a moment to follow this link to see what i mean.

Cheers,

Erik

Chris,

upon closer examination, could it be that the implementation of ISearchable is a bit off. If i search (making use of the dnn search facility) my forum for a word i know should give a lot of hits, and it only gives me the latest post (that also contains the searchword). I know for sure that search worked fine in the 3.10.04 version.

I looked at the code in ForumThreadController.vb, and noticed that you filter on LastIndexDate. Thats a cool feature, as it will keep the number of items that are returned to the search indexer down. What i did was set the LastIndexDate in the moduleSettings to a very low date, so all the items would be indexed again, and yes... after that reindexing indexes all posts now, and the rss feed is filled again too!

Might it be an idea to expose the LastIndexDate somewhere to allow for easy reindexing if something is wrong with the index? Up untill now, i always assumed that to completely reindex a site, i could clear the SearchItem table, and just do a complete reindex. If modules keep track of LastIndexDate themselves (which is good in itself ofcourse),  "power users" like me are completely in the dark why things don't work as expected.

Anyway, to get back at the topic of this thread, i now have an rss feed of all latest threads in my forum (I only display the top 10 items in the feed). For me this is a workable solution. If you want to have a look at how it looks now, see here: http://www.apollo-software.nl/Forum/tabid/163/Default.aspx

Cheers,

Erik

Couple things.

Erik, thanks for finding that.  Your idea about re-indexing is a good idea.  This is something I will try to add to the admin items.  We had to add the date because it was killing performance on this site, which would have affected others with lots of posts.

The other item is I am considering making the What's New module.  This will be on my own and not accessible through this site.  I have no timeline for it but I think it will suite the majority of all the needs of the community.  Please understand I am squeezing this in when I can so I cannot really give a timetable.  I can say that I don't think it will take me long, but don't even bother asking about it for at least two weeks.

If this is using ISearchable, the url was generated for a special page only used for these results.  This is the same page used when hitting a url from dnn core search results.  The code is ForumPortalSearch.vb, I am not sure at this time why the one post is listed twice.

Don't worry Chris...I know better than to ask for release dates  ;)

Anyway, as i said, it's a workable solution for me now, except for one thing, the duplication posts issue i mentioned before when you navigate to the forum by using a link from the rss feed (the guid item actually).

Please have a look at my forum page to see what i mean:

as you can see, the complete thread is duplicated.... Do you have any idea where to look for that (if you give me a pointer i can go through the code myself, and report my findings back to you)

Cheers,

Erik
