XF 1.5 RSS feed URL for threads with a prefix

[vmgkartik]

Hi

I want to get the RSS feed URL to only fetch threads from my forum which start with a certain prefix.

Is this possible? If yes, how to write the RSS feed URL structure.

Thanks,

Ideally you should make this an addon, but here is a file edit:

library/XenForo/ControllerPublic/Forum.php

Add the red code:

	/**
	 * Gets the data for the global forum RSS feed.
	 *
	 * @return XenForo_ControllerResponse_Abstract
	 */
	public function getGlobalForumRss()
	{
		$threadModel = $this->_getThreadModel();
		$visitor = XenForo_Visitor::getInstance();
		
		$prefix = $this->_input->filterSingle('prefix', XenForo_Input::STRING);

		$threadsPerPage = max(1, XenForo_Application::get('options')->discussionsPerPage);
		$autoReadDate = XenForo_Application::$time - (XenForo_Application::get('options')->readMarkingDataLifetime * 86400);

		$threads = $threadModel->getThreads(
			array(
				'find_new' => true,
				'last_post_date' => array('>', $autoReadDate),
				'not_discussion_type' => 'redirect',
				'title' => ($prefix ? array($prefix, 'r') : '')
			),
			array(
				'limit' => $threadsPerPage * 3, // to filter
				'order' => 'last_post_date',
				'join' =>
					XenForo_Model_Thread::FETCH_FORUM | XenForo_Model_Thread::FETCH_FORUM_OPTIONS |
					XenForo_Model_Thread::FETCH_USER | XenForo_Model_Thread::FETCH_FIRSTPOST,
				'permissionCombinationId' => $visitor['permission_combination_id']
			)
		);

The URL is like this:

/index.php?forums/-/index.rss&prefix=asdf

Or this with friendly URLs:

/forums/-/index.rss?prefix=asdf

@Jake Bunce how different would this be to do in xf 2.1?
