    i see one thread before.
    It say you can create one user that auto help you post rss feed content.

    anyone got idea?
    i try before, but i forgot the way.

    like create a new user, paste the rss to certain rss location, then the user will auto post new thread and message.
     
    If someone posts a solution, use the "Best Answer" link in their post to pick it as the best answer.

    It all depends on the forum software you are using which you haven't stated.

    You may be better off asking this question in the specific forum's support area though :)

    write a script to query the db and then output the dataset in RSS compliant XML and simply set the page content type to XML

    You can put as much or little text content as you want in RSS. It is common practice to only put a taster with a link back to the original page for the full details so that people can see your advertising etc but there is nothing to stop you putting full content in it

    RSS is text only and so you cannot put images or videos in the feed but you can provide links to them.
