Tried to install this on my vb 3.5.3 site and had no luck. I did exactly what the instructions say and I could not get the rss icon to show up.. Any one help me with this or experiance the same issue and how to fix this.. Really like to install this

Same, bada.

It's still working perfectly on 3.6.4 :)

Could you please add this little icon to "Forumhome"?

Anyone help with this?

Thank you:)

Thanks for this.. its a wunderful hack and I wanted something like this.

Just one question, can this be modified such that only certain forums can have the RSS feed enabled for them..

i.e. there might be certain forums that you don't want the RSS subscription enabled

regards

What version of vBulletin are you using? With the better auto-discovery built into 3.6.X and auto-discovery support in Internet Explorer, I don't have a need for this anymore. Therefore I haven't incorporated it into newer styles.

Hi Wayne,

Can you elaborate a little more on this? Why wouldn't we want to use this in 3.6? I think the icon would be great but dont know much about rss.

Thanks!

I think it is still nice to have in the forum display. Though both IE7 and FF have good auto-discovery for discrete feeds, lots of users still don't know much about RSS, and don't pay attention to the icons in their browser's menu windows. Having an RSS icon on the actual page brings it to their attention more, and with the hover text supplied with this mod it helps explain why the icon is there, and may lead to a user asking about trying RSS when they did not ever do so before.

Take a look at lots of major news websites. When you drill down into their news categories, they still provide an RSS or XML icon somewhere on the page. It helps provide a visual clue to the viewer right on the content of the page, rather then in the browser menu somewhere which many users instinctively tune out.

Dexter...

Installed it. Works great.

For those of you experiencing the problem with the icon not appearing for forums (only categories), you need to insert it twice in the FORUMDISPLAY template. Find the next instance of the code, and insert it again.
