Wanted: Simple ways to be alerted with emails if something is new / changed - SOLWorld2024-03-29T08:45:29Zhttps://solworld.ning.com/forum/topics/2102269:Topic:1424?feed=yes&xn_auth=noTo follow all new things in t…tag:solworld.ning.com,2008-06-18:2102269:Comment:42592008-06-18T07:56:22.676ZHans-Peter Kornhttps://solworld.ning.com/profile/HansPeterKorn
To follow all new things in the ning group I found out in the last weeks that this is best working:<br />
<br />
Add to your RSS-reader (which is also a functional part of most mailreaders like thunderbird) this entry:<br />
<br />
Text of the RSS-feed: Latest Activity on SOLWorld<br />
URL of the RSS-feed: <a href="http://solworld.ning.com/activity/log/list?fmt=rss">http://solworld.ning.com/activity/log/list?fmt=rss</a><br />
<br />
But, of course, you receive with RSS only the title and the author of the new "thing" (e.g. a reply to…

<br />
But, of course, you receive with RSS only the title and the author of the new "thing" (e.g. a reply to a discussion) and not the content. In the message only the web-link to the content is given. So, to read the new things you must have a web browser and a good internet connection.<br />
<br />
You also can open the RSS-feeder-URL <a href="http://solworld.ning.com/activity/log/list?fmt=rss">http://solworld.ning.com/activity/log/list?fmt=rss</a> with a web browser who supports RSS-feeds (e.g.: firefox or Microsoft) It seems, that is not enough…tag:solworld.ning.com,2008-05-20:2102269:Comment:18542008-05-20T08:59:24.261ZHans-Peter Kornhttps://solworld.ning.com/profile/HansPeterKorn
It seems, that is not enough to activate "Follow – E-mail me when people reply" or to include the RSS-feeder-URL's for ALL different groups, discussions,... you are interested in.<br />
<br />
You also have to activate the "follow" / include the RSS-feeder-URL's WITHIN a group for EACH discussion in the group also.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
If I want to follow the discussions of the Karlstad group I have to<br />
add:…

This will give an RSS-alert only if new discussion is created.<br />
But if I want to follow specific discussions in this group I have to add in addion:<br />
<a href="http://solworld.ning.com/group/karlstadgroup/forum/topic/show?id=2102269%3ATopic%3A1465&feed=yes&xn_auth=no">http://solworld.ning.com/group/karlstadgroup/forum/topic/show?id=2102269%3ATopic%3A1465&feed=yes&xn_auth=no</a><br />
and<br />
<a href="http://solworld.ning.com/group/karlstadgroup/forum/topic/show?id=2102269%3ATopic%3A719&feed=yes&xn_auth=no">http://solworld.ning.com/group/karlstadgroup/forum/topic/show?id=2102269%3ATopic%3A719&feed=yes&xn_auth=no</a><br />
And so on....<br />
<br />
For alerts by email there is the same logic.<br />
<br />
So, for me, the idea of ning seems to support in first instance functions to follow new entries and changes in very specific areas like single discussion-threads within specific groups and not the "integrating" information and discussion for a whole community.<br />
For that a list like SOLUTION-L seems to fit better IMHO. Thank you Hans-Peter, it is r…tag:solworld.ning.com,2008-05-19:2102269:Comment:14622008-05-19T12:46:07.715ZDainius Baltrusaitishttps://solworld.ning.com/profile/DainiusBaltrusaitis
