Subscribe users to RSS feed in sharepoint 2010

I want to subscribe the user group to the RSS feed for a discussion board in Sharepoint 2010 and make it an opt out feature not an opt in feature. Is this something i can do? And how.

Hi,
If a user wants to subscribe to a RSS feed of SharePoint list/library, he/she needs to access the list/library and then click RSS feed button in the ribbon to view the RSS feed in IE. After that clicking subscribe the RSS feed link to add the feeds to Outlook.
As it is needed to trigger the feed protocol to add the feed to Outlook from SharePoint, then every user needs to click the subscribe the RSS feed link.
So there is no OOB way to subscribe the user group to RSS feed in SharePoint.
Best regards.
Thanks

Reading User Profile Properties pragmatically in SharePoint 2010 Returns Null Values Although it has values returned from AD

Reading User Profile Properties pragmatically in SharePoint 2010 Returns Null Values Although it has values returned from AD
I configured the user profile service application and run Sync and user profiles and its properties returned from Active directory but when I want to read it pragmatically it returns null values.
this is my code...
void runQueryButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
// Get the My Sites site collection, ensuring proper disposal
using (SPSite mySitesCollection = new SPSite("http://sp/my"))
//Get the user profile manager
SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(mySitesCollection);
UserProfileManager profileManager = new UserProfileManager(context);
UserProfile profile = profileManager.GetUserProfile("Contoso\\user");
foreach (Property prop in profileManager.Properties)
// if (prop.Name == "Department")
resultsLabel.Text += prop.DisplayName + ":" + profile[prop.Name].Value + "<br />"; ;

Hi,
Please try with the following code
PrincipalContext principalContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain);
SPServiceContext context = SPServiceContext.GetContext(site);
UserProfileManager profileManager = new UserProfileManager(context);
foreach (Property prop in profileManager.Properties)
// if (prop.Name == "Department")
resultsLabel.Text += prop.DisplayName

Can you please let me know how to subscribe to the RSS feeds.

Hello Friends – Can you please let me know how to subscribe to the RSS feeds.
Are there any read applications that are specifically designed to collect RSS feeds. Pls let me know the best ones.
Thanks

Hi,
Yo can copy the RSS link into Firefox address bar and it will open the feed and ask you which program you want to use to read the feed. There are many RSS readers out there. I use Outlook and the free Protopage (www.protopage.com).

Subscribing to Gallery - RSS feeds

I have created a number of albums in My Gallery from within iPhoto with the intention of letting the (extensive) family view them without my having to e-mail them etc. This has and is working fine. To save even more time I thought that the option to subscribe to the Galleries would be a good idea. I assumed that if you subscribed to the Gallery then every time I would change or add/delete an album etc from the Gallery this would notify anyone who was subscribed. In order to try it out I simply logged onto My Gallery via the browser (as would anyone else) and "Subscribed". This gave me an RSS feed that I added to my Bookmarks bar in the same way that I have other RSS feeds. The problem I have is that the other feeds show a number next to the title letting me know how many "unread" items I have in that folder. So if the number changes I know I have a new "item". But I don't seem to get the same notification for the RSS feed for My Gallery when I go in and add/delete/change etc a photo from within iPhoto and then re-publish. Hence it doesn't seem to be informing me of any changes..?
My idea here was for me to try it first before I try my (undoubtedly PC) other users next. But it doesn't seem to work. Is there a trick to this or a series of step I need to follow etc?
Thanks for anyone who has resolved this or can help

I was just searching through the forums trying to find an answer to the same question you are asking: how can one subsribe (aka photocast) to a flickr RSS and get a good feed that has large photos and not thumbnails...
And although I too do not have a direct answer, I do have something you might be interested in... Google!
Have you ever used Google's Picasa web albums? Well I think you will like it much better than flickr (unless you use flickr for its community where it surely wins, but I just wanted a free and easy way to photocast and I found it)
1) So first you want an easy way to upload pictures to google, which is essentially creating your photocast. To do this get google's free export feature that is a direct plug in into iphoto and works great:
http://picasa.google.com/web/mac_tools.html
2) Next, once you have easily uploaded photos navigate to the album's webpage and view it. Here you can find its RSS feed and copy that feed into any iPhoto as a photocast and bingo you have it with full size pictures rather than what flickr gives you
Limitations include:
1) Each album has its own RSS rather than an entire user one, but I like this feature over flickr's method of an entire RSS per user...
2) I tried using different compressions for uploading a single photo. From here I opened iphoto and tested the subscription feed of the photos. As it turns out, the RSS feed still generates thumbnails becaue they do not reflect the true uploaded images' sizes, BUT the size is much larger and better than that of Flickr's size making it a suitable photocasting method. But not perfect because the RSS feed does not contain the entire image as does .Mac's method...
Hope this helps,

Subscribing to Flickr RSS Feeds in iPhoto

I don't know how many people know this, but you can view RSS photo feeds directly in iPhoto. If you take someone's RSS Feed address from flickr, for example:
feed://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photospublic.gne?id=14777744@N00&format=rss200
Then in iPhoto click Subscribe to Photocast... and insert the address, then click Subscribe. All the photos in the flickr feed now show up in iPhoto! Only catch is, these appear to be just the thumbnails with no way of viewing the fullsize photos! Anyone know a way around this?

Publishing user profile service application in SharePoint 2010

Hi, Can I have a link specific to publishing the user profile service application in a step by step manner in SharePoint 2010. This is quite urgent.

Hope the below link will be helpful
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alimaz/archive/2009/11/09/configuring-user-profile-service-application-in-sharepoint-server-2010.aspx

Can I find out how many people are subscribed to my RSS feed?

Just curious - I don't want to know who they are, or spam them - I'm just wondering about a count.
--drkenfp

There is no way to do this with the default RSS feed URL and iTunes, unfortunately. If you really want to see stats on your subscribers and stuff, you will need to translate your RSS feed to something like FeedBurner and then advertise that URL instead of the iWeb RSS.
Here is an example of my feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/dirtdoog
There are lots of stats available through FeedBurner... http://www.feedburner.com

Unable to bind user to peopleeditor programmatically after SharePoint 2010 August 2011 CU

I have a drop-down selected index change event to set value for a people editor control. This works fine for the first time. But the next time I change a value in the drop-down, the people editor wont change if it already holds a value. I need
to clear it and then change the drop-down value,. This issue occurs after August 2011 CU update and does not happen in other environment where i dont have this update applied.
Can someone officially confirm if this a known issue with August 2011 CU? I see this is being reported both in SP2010 and MOSS 2007 after their respective August 2011 CU updates. Refer
http://blogs.technet.com/b/stefan_gossner/archive/2011/08/31/august-2011-cu-for-sharepoint-2007-and-2010-has-been-released.aspx

if (currentUser != null)
//Clear ppl column:: sharepoint ppl id: peFinanceDepartment
peFinanceDepartment.Entities.Clear();
PickerEntity UserEntity = new PickerEntity();
// CurrentUser is SPUser object
UserEntity.DisplayText = currentUser.Name;
UserEntity.Key = currentUser.LoginName;
System.Collections.ArrayList entityArrayList = new System.Collections.ArrayList();
entityArrayList.Add(UserEntity);
peFinanceDepartment.UpdateEntities(entityArrayList);
// Add PickerEntity to People Picker control
//peFinanceDepartment.Entities.Add(peFinanceDepartment.ValidateEntity(UserEntity));
// This should make People Picker control disable|readonly
//peFinanceDepartment.ShowButtons = false;
//peFinanceDepartment.AllowTypeIn = false;

Authenticated RSS feeds viewer in Sharepoint 2010

Hi All,
I need to create an RSS feed viewer in the sharepoint page from an external site (Service Now) in which authentication is needed. I tried adding the OOTB RSS viewer webpart and found out that in our environment they are not allowing authenticated
RSS feeds. So there is no point of asking for changing the authentication settings also.
Could some one let me know if there is any workaround to include the authenticated RSS feeds viewer in the sharepoint environment. Please let me know if we can achieve the same through any CEWP?
Thanks In Advance
Jithin

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use RSS feeds in SharePoint 2010.
Please check as the links below:

http://pravahaminfo.blogspot.in/2011/04/implement-rss-feeds-in-sharepoint.html
We can also try to use Content Query Web Part to achieve it.

The system Pages library and its RSS feed do not work properly in SharePoint 2010

This question is about RSS feed for the system 'Pages' library in SharePoint 2010.
Now there are 5 'News' pages in the system 'Pages' library. In each news page there is one field called 'Title' for the news title. One of the news page is named 'FileNamePage5.aspx', and the news title is 'This is the title of page5'.
I have enabled RSS in Site Settings, and configured RSS Settings for the 'Pages' library from the Communications section via Document Library Settings. I selected a few columns to display in the RSS description, including the 'Title' column. In the RSS feed
(XML file) of the system 'Pages' library, I checked the XML source code, and found the news page file name appearing in the <title> tag below within the feed (XML source code).
<title>FileNamePage5</title>
and the original news title 'This is the title of page5' was appearing in the <description> tag in the feed (XML sorce code)
<description><![CDATA[<div> ... This is the title of page5... </div>]]></description>.
This would make it hard to extract ONLY the original news title (This is the title of page5) out of the feed via XSLT, because the data within the <description> tag in the feed also contains data from all other selected columns defined via the RSS
Setting. If I did not select the 'Title' column via RSS Setting above, I even could not find the orinigal news title in the RSS feed.
This is happening for all other news pages in the system 'Pages' library. Is this what SharePoint 2010 normally does? or is something wrong with the settings for site or the system 'Pages' library?
How to display ONLY the original news title (This is the title of page5) in the <title> tag in the RSS feed. Please Help me to resolve this issue.
谢亚军@Sydney

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display the value in Title column of Pages library in title tag in RSS Feed in SharePoint.
I tested the same scenario per your post, the title tag in RSS Feed displayed the value of Name column in libraries and displayed the value of Title column in lists.
It is by design and there is no OOB way to change the default column mapping in RSS Feed.
I recommend to customize your own RSS Feed style sheet to make the title displays the value of Title column in SharePoint libraries.
Here is a link about customizing the RSS Feed for document library for you to take a look:

Can't' subscribe to RSS feed in my wiki?!?!

I am not really sure what is going on. I have a few wiki's set up and there is on (users must log in to read) that won't allow users to subscribe to the rss feed. When you click on the subscribe icon, it just freezes. I even tried manually subscribing by typing the feed address into Apple Mail, but it still didn't work. It did prompt me for the username and password, but it gets an error and there is no feed. What am I missing?

I have the same problem. My Wiki runs as a SSL secured site. The docs state:
"If you enable SSL, you must create a duplicate non-SSL site that redirects requests for podcasts or RSS feeds to the SSL site."
However I do this.
And, I don't understand why it's not possible to subscribe to a https:// secured RSS feed.

RSS Feed not working in chrome browser for anonymous users but working fine in IE

HI All,
We are having public facing site for anonymous users. We have created links for OOTB RSS feed for lists and libraries. The link is working fine in IE, but for chrome it is asking for credentials. We are using publishing site. Any idea or pointers is much
appreciated. We are in testing phase and this issue sticking us.
Rohit Pasrija

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want anonymous user access RSS feed link without asking for credentials.
I suggest you can check if you have deactived the “Limited-access user permission lockdown mode” feature in the site settings-> site collection features
In my environment ,after disabling the feature, then the rss feed link will be accessed without credentials for anonymous users in Chrome.
Thanks
Best Regards

I am not able to subscribe to RSS feeds or bookmark pages

I was having trouble with my version 3 of Firefox originally. I couldn't open it because it was saying it was still running. I found the correction to that problem (something about deleting a "parent" file) only after I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. When I uninstalled Firefox I sadly lost all of my RSS feeds and bookmarks. When I reinstalled it I was updated to Firefox 4. Since that time I have not been able to subscribe to any RSS Feeds or bookmark any pages. I am completely and utterly frustrated. Please help!

I hope it works out for you. A couple of comments.
Apple does not have a way to restrict searches on safari. It just is not there. But if you search the app store for parental control, you will find at least 1 browser that does. You can use that as your normal browser, and bury safari in a folder somewhere where the kiddies wont easily find it. Read the reviews, and see if it does what you want.
As respects purchases, remember that when you make a purchase, your password remains active for 15 min. I have been reading the posts here for over a year, and there is a continued stream of folks who download an innocent free app, hand the pad to the kids, and find the invoice the next day for $200 worth of smuf berries or some such nonsense. Keep eyes open.

Rss feed address for a wiki page

Wondering what the rrs feed url is for a group wiki- I've tried a few in mail to subscribe to but they dont seem to work. Maybe I need the password/user name somehow

I'm not running the Wiki software to check this; the following is generic RSS.
Is there an RSS icon (often an orange chicklet, though Safari shows a blue RSS chicklet) visible (somewhere) in the browser?
If so, there's an RSS feed. If not, there probably isn't. (Or your chosen browser doesn't display RSS feeds, mayhap?)
In most browsers, you can click on the RSS icon to subscribe.
If your browser doesn't have the RSS icon, you can usually determine if there is a View Source (often Cmd-U) and search for the RSS entry in the HTML text. Cut-and-paste the URL into your RSS viewer, and off you go.
Depending on the browser and how the browser and the RSS viewer is configured, clicking on the icon will subscribe to the RSS feed. (The feed will be subscribed in some RSS viewer, though maybe not the one you wanted to use.)
I don't know of a good way to get the RSS feed in Safari without either subscribing (and then fetching the URL out of the RSS stash), or without looking at the URL. I haven't found a chord that retrieves it into the paste buffer.
