Hi, I'm interested on changing the way RSS is posting on my website. I need that the link directs to a popup, not to a new page. Where should I change this?

I've read about these variables:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=234216
But where can I find those variables?

I'm currently reading these files:
includes/cron/rssposter.php
includes/class_dm_rssfeed.php
includes/class_rss_poster.php

Anyone have an idea where can I change it?

Thanks:D

I'm not sure exactly what you want. Those variables listed in the vb.com link are for use in what you spit out to your forums in RSS Feeds - I'm talking about if you have rss from another site spitting out posts onto your site.

Hi Lynne, there is an external RSS that is posting on my site right now. On the thread it shows a summary of the article and a link to the complete article. This link opens on a new window, what I need to do is to get this link open on a Popup window. Is it possible?

Hmmm, I don't know too much about rss feeds. I *think* the link is passed as {rss:link}, so what you want to do is input in your thread post (the one in the Body Template for the feed) a typical javascript call (using open.window). I think you'd just have to play with that idea and see if you can get it to work.

Hi Lynne, thanks for the advice, I was also thinking the same, my problem is that I cannot find the template or file where I should do this changes :)

UPDATE: I find it :) the template I need to change is this one:

rssfeed_body_template

UPDATE: I find something else, on the same RSS Feed Manager, when I edit the Feed, It shows the option to change the way it's posted. :)

Thank you very much Lynne

Yes, that is the Body Template field I was referencing above. :)
