Group public timeline urls and rss feeds have changed

When we launched Edmodo all groups created had to have a unique name in our database. At first this was not a problem, but as we have grown it has become harder and harder for teachers to come up with unique names for their classes. With our latest release of edmodo, group names no longer have to be completely unique on our system.

Unfortunately there is a minor inconvenience to making this change. Group public pages and the rss feeds associated with them had to change. We ask that if you are using the public group page feature that you update your links and/or rss feeds and let students and parents know of this change.

To check for your new group public url, login to edmodo, click the group management icon in the left sidebar, next to your group, and click “Public” link. If you need the rss feed of the page, click the “Subscribe” link in the upper right hand corner of the public page.

The new format for public group pages and rss feeds are as follows:

http://www.edmodo.com/public/<group-name>/group_id/<000000>
http://www.edmodo.com/feed?group_id=000000

Thanks Edmodo. Easy to do– checked all my public feeds and indeed needed updating. Back up and running as before. Unique group names are well received and looking forward to even more Edmodo features with your update!
