By default, which forums will be pulled? I have some private forums that I wouldn't want showing up in the feed.

It should pull all of them (by default), since it's just pointing to external.php. You could modify the line that actually calls external.php in my example in post #1 by adding the forum IDs, as mentioned at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97030, http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=109943, http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=109645,
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112012, and
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102442.

HHhmm..... I had kind of thought that was going to be the answer (it's been a bit since I've played around with external.php); just a suggestion but it might be a good idea to include that information in the instructions post so that people are aware of that the fact that it will pull from all forums by default. From randomly looking at some of the response it seems that some people have already implemented the code without specifying which forums to pull from.

OK, now that aside...... cool mod! :cool: I'll be implementing later tonight (but with explicit forums specified :p ).

True (and good point), but to be honest, I hadn't even thought of that when I originally posted it. When I get a chance, I'll rebundle the hack and update the first post.

Enable Opera's navigation toolbar options uses the same method to cause other options in Opera to become available, and this was just an added benefit that I released.

HHhhmmm..... looks like I may have to install Opera one of these days to play around with it.

Edit: OK, I'm playing around with Opera but when I go to your site it looks like it's pulling http://www.efhs84.com/forum/external.php?type=php instead of http://www.efhs84.com/forum/external.php?type=rss2 -- With "php" the message text doesn't come across. This on purpose or did I miss something with the Opera install? Going off on a totally different tangent...... :p Opera renders my home page site diferent than IE or FireFox does. With Opera I'm getting some extra space at the top & bottom margins. Looks like it's time for me to hit the Opera support forums on that one.

Work fine with Desktop Sidebar also. :cool:

Okay, that's my fault. I was noodling around and had changed it to PHP for something, and neglected to change it back. I've fixed it in the demo. Thanks for pointing it out.

Firefox PR1 now has the same feature :) and this works a treat with it - thx for the tip :)

OK, call me an idiot but I don't see see any new buttons in FireFox PR1 for the RSS feeds; the only thing I see is the "Live Bookmarks" option. :confused: Or is that what you meant and I'm making a mistake by assuming you were talking about the navigation buttons?

That's what the live bookmarks are.
