Please create an RSS feed for our favorites.

Is there one yet?

Seconded, I just spent 10 minutes crawling the site for any addon based RSS... i.e. new-rss updated-rss favorites-rss... nothin...

Noted in our ticketing system.

Oh, thank god.

I've just implemented this, but rather quickly so please consider it a test.

First, to use it, you need to edit your account options and enable "Share Favorite Posts".  This makes the RSS feed available on http://my.curse.com/my/favorites.aspx - but it will also show your favorites on your profile.  So if you're concerned with keeping your favorites private you won't want to select it.

There's not a link on the page yet, but the Favorite Addons feed is published as discoverable on that page.  Please post any issues you find with it or other feedback in this thread.

Excellent! Thank you very much for this :-)

Can you track that spammer down and kneecap him, please? Make sure he can't ever have children, either.

G'day - is there also a way to stop email notification of favourite updates, but keep notification of other things now favourites has an RSS feed?

TIA,

Sort of.

If you disable 'Send notifications' in the Site Options tab of your account settings, you won't get notifications for addons, but you also won't get Forum replies.  So that might work for you.  I think either way you'll still get Friend requests and Conversation messages sent as long as you leave the 'Receive Emails' option enabled.

Again, thank you for implementing the RSS feed.

Using Google Reader, however, I am unable to get the feed to properly refresh with new items.  While the feed populated correctly when I added it, and there have been addon updates to those on my Favorites list, Google Reader is getting no new information.  Viewing the feed manually however, reveals that the updated addons are in fact in there.  So, I'm a slight bit baffled.  With the public option set, I am using the feed URL: http://my.curse.com/members/johndmann/favorites/rss.aspx  This the correct format for the URL I'm supposed to toss into my reader, I do believe.

Now, this could very well be something that Google Reader is doing wrong, I wouldn't be suprised - but I have never had issues with other feeds before using that reader, and so my first thought was that the feed might be wonky in some way, especially since you noted that it was just something you essentially tossed together :p  I will probably pester Google about it as well, but I won't hold my breath for any kind of response from them.

EDIT:  I should note that the feed items are being "updated", but not considered "new" items.  For example, the addon ZOMGBuffs is on my list.  In Google Reader, when I added the feed on May 1, it showed as a "new" item, as it should have, being a new feed.  When ZOMGBuffs got updated on May 7, there was no "new" feed item for it.  However, if I browse "read" feed items, I plainly see:

Title                         Summary                              Date

ZOMGBuffs   ---------------------- (..snip..) 5/7/09     5/1/09

I'm no expert, but I do believe that the date which the addon is updated is not being sent and/or formatted properly to be flagged as a "new" feed item when the feed gets refreshed.
