RSS feed on VB

[cool_forum]

What I want to do is add a RSS news feed to my site. And everytime a new news article is released it will creade a new thread to discuss.

Please help.

On latest VB version 3.6.4 you can do this.

Go to Admincp > RSS Feeds > Add New RSS Feed

Do you know if there is a way that you can add just one RSS article manually for users to discuss... instead of adding a hole feed.

If you choose to display them as a post (as opposed to an announcement) then they can discuss the individual feed topic as a normal thread.

You can just copy/paste the article. :)

I have another issue. We've started doing this. We've pulled in news articles but they appear in 'new posts' and our staff is complaining that it's polluting the landing page. I wish there was a simple way to exclude certain forums from the new posts listing. Is there?

In the navbar template find instances of search.php?do=getnew and add &exclude=1,2,3 so it looks like search.php?do=getnew&exclude=1,2,3. Replace 1,2,3 with the forum IDs you want to exclude.
