'''RSS in forums''' allows users with an [[RSS]] aggregator program to be notified of new forum discussions in a similar manner to the emails sent as a result of [[forum subscription]]s.

When RSS is enabled, two new properties in [[forum module]] setup appear.
 
===RSS feed for this activity===

This turns RSS on or off for this forum. When set to “None,” RSS is disabled. When set to “Discussions,” the RSS feed will send out new discussions to subscribers. When set to “Posts,” the RSS feed will send out any new posts to subscribers.
 
To RSS enable your discussion forums you have to be an administrator.  Go to the  Administration>Configuration>Variables page (enablerssfeeds: Yes).
 
NOTE: Remember you must have actived or run cron maintenance almost once
 
===Number of RSS recent articles===
 
This number sets the number of articles that go out via RSS. If this number is set to 5, then the 5 most recent articles will be sent to subscribers. As new posts (or discussions) get added, the oldest post/discussion gets replaced on the RSS feed. If your forum gets a lot of posts every day, you will want to set this number high.
 
===Podcasting===
{{Moodle 1.6}}
From version 1.6 onwards posting audio or video files to a forum will automatically turn the relevant RSS feed into a [[Podcast]].
