RSS Feed Blank

Former Member over 15 years ago

My activities are all public, but the RSS Feed icon from my Dashboard doesn't return any activities.

Are there any additional settings to configure?

Did you name your activities?

I didn't previously, so I named one just to test. Same result still. No data in the RSS feed. I'll try again later in case the feed is updated in batch.

Also, I don't have a need to title my regular runs. Is naming them a requirement to show up on the feed? If so, is there a way to have a default name?

I just tried the link and I can see an activity.

And yes, there is a naming requirement for it to show up on the RSS feed. It works kinda like Explore where "Untitled" activities will not show up.

Currently there is no way to set a default name.

Interesting you see data. The the XML response I get back now, but maybe there's caching, so I'll try again later.

After about 8 hours and trying different apps, the RSS feed refreshed. So now I see data. Thanks.

The one suggestion for future improvement is to allow updates to occur without naming events. That would allow for automatic updates without any user intervention.

Or describe bundle an auto-naming feature for activities as part of the privacy package. Right now, the Public feature is effectively active with a 2 step process: 1) enabling the feature and 2) naming the activity.
