Has the DOCs for RSS implimentation be created yet?

DM suggested I look back thru the message base to find out what I need
and this didn't yeild much.

He has it set up on his system as I donwloaded (recieved) about 9
messages the first request I sent. Since then, nothing has come thru. I
set up my newsreader (Opera) to fetch every three hours.

But I would like to try to set this up on the Bits-N-Bytes BBS.

DM suggested I should have ctrl/rss.ini installed and provided an
example. I copied his for mine - knowing it would fail and hopefully
provide some details on how to fix it.

In the other places that have RSS feeds a link is provided. That link
when installed into a rssreader scans the source for NEW messages.

[Stop me where I error]

The firs (in []) is the name of the RSS channel. The "sub" value is the
internal code of the sub-board.

 >      [syncanno]
 >          sub=syncanno
 >          title=Synchronet
 >          image_link=http://BNB.synchro.net

Since I don't yet have the sub syncanno, this would be the first error.
(I fail to devern any significance in his sub title, so I will create
one using something different

 > [syncanno]  <--- Is this critical?
 >     sub=syncanno   <-- I can alter this one I think
 >     title=Synchronet  <-- This one too...?
 >     image_link=http://BNB.synchro.net  <-- just have to wait and see
                                                 what this will produce.


I guess anywhere I want to create the SUB will be fine(??)


OK... I just made a NEW message group for the occasion. RSS of course
and the sole sub is of course RSS.

I need to make a test message of some sort.

OK short test message in place...

Now what? Try to scan the feed again.

Opps forgot the RSS.INI file..

It now reads:
     [syncanno]  <-- Still dunno what significance this holds
         sub=RSS
       title=BNB news and Views
  image_link=http://BNB.synchro.net


Well that's what I figured out on my own. It didn't produce any messages
in any logs I can find. Although loging is mentioned I cannot infer it's
location.

And that's as far as MY javascript understanding takes me.

You can only call me a dumbass IF you can help fix this.
