Thanks but I checked that...

Guess it doesn't then.... :(

can you give me the link for branding free option?

From what I've been reading the problem is the version # in the 3.6.x product XML file that isn't recognized by 3.5.x importer. I'll see what I can do.

A link to CinVin has been sent in response to your PM.

I get blank page
http://forum.iraqvip.cc/cv_rss_feeds.php

Did you import the product XML?

Have you an update to the latest version which helps with the anchors? I'm using vbseo.

yes i did !!!

Well, since we don't have an update to solve the anchor issues just yet...I will have to make the RSS page into pure html.

Hi KW802..

Firstly a great hack.. absolutely superb.. and succesfully installed...and minimal install time.. (though I spent most time trying to find out how to view the RSS feeds as I did not read the install instructions correctly and realise I had to point to /cv_rss_feeds.php... doh!)

But I have reached to the same issue as Bashy..

in my forum.. guests are allowed to view the forum, but not the threads within it.. members have different permissions to view forums based on their usergroups.

It does make sence to have the RSS link only able to get the posts based on the view of guests, else guests cud hijak the forums links and post it on an external RSS reader and get the brief posts information that they don't have access within the actual forum itself.

Q1) However, what I was wondering.. is it possible to limit information of what gets displayed in the RSS readers, i.e. perhaps just the first 10 characters only.. perhaps just limiting it to the title header only of a new post made in the forum?

Q2) Does the number of forums have anything to do with parsing of RSS.. the reason I ask is because, there are over 100 forums where I am trying to implement this Hack...

Doing it on forumID = 99.. i.e. passing through
works fine and I can post that to RSS external readers

But if I try
I get nothing.. external RSS readers are not able to acknoweldge this as a valid RSS code. Entering the site through the RSS validation service I get error messages as...

and
Thanks..


EDIT:
Ok.. I think if this hack is used together with Abe1's hack regarding External Data Provider Usergroup / Cookie setting it should allow RSS feed based on which usergroup you define within the Exteral Data Provider option in ACP as it will be based on cookies.

Kevin - just a couple of quick question for you ?

Is there anyway to control the feed from the individual forums, for instance I have a few hosted forums which aren't as busy as the rest of the site, but I'm creating a mini-site for some of these forums, and I was going to include the RSS Feed in Wordpress as I was using that as the CMS for the mini site, but due to the lack of activity, low numbers of threads are showing up on the feed.
