I'm wondering how to replace the vb.com logo on the page after selecting the rss icon on forum home.

Also, it appears that the rss icon is distorted on the forum display. Is there any way to get the icon to appear clearer.

Can you write up a bit to put one next to thread titles too? I don't know what variables it would use, but it has to be similar...

This also seems to only work for feeds that are visible to all guests/users.

If the forum is restricted at all, I get a blank page, otherwise it works perfectly.

After :

Code:

<if condition="$show['sticky']"> <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/sticky.gif" alt="$vbphrase[sticky_thread]" /> </if>

                                </span>

                        </if>

Add :

Code:

<a href="external.php?showthread=$thread[threadid]"><img src="images/misc/rss_small.gif" border="0" width="13" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Subscribe to this feed $forum[title]"></a>

download external.php to your computer and edit this code :

Code:

$rssicon = create_full_url($stylevar['imgdir_misc'] . '/rss.jpg');

then change rss.jpg with another image in { forum/images/misc } folder

You rawk. Thanks!

And if you want the RSS to be on the left like the Forum ones...

Put it before this:

Code:

<if condition="$show['taglist'] OR $show['moderated'] OR $show['deletedthread'] OR $show['paperclip'] OR $show['subscribed'] OR $show['sticky'] OR $show['rexpires']">

                                <span style="float:$stylevar[right]">

                                        <if condition="$show['taglist']"> <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/tag.png" alt="$thread[taglist]" /> </if>

however i need an answer: if a forum is private and someone take the feed from it, what happens? he can see the posts?

How do I move the RSS icon in the subforum to be closer to the subforum name?

Currently it is on the far right hand side of the page:

This doesn't seem to change the image? I've also tried just changing rss.jpg to a different image and that doesn't work either?

All you need to do to change that image is upload the pic you want to use as rss.jpg in the misc image folder, rather than editing anything.

My sub-forum rss icons are still in really random positions (some of them are in the right place, but most of them arent!), any ideas how to resolve? I used the code that was mentioned earlier in the thread.

Mine are odd too. I'm not really sure why it's like that, I've been meaning to figure it out soon. I'll post up if I figure it out, unless someone does before me.

You must make the forum permissions public. Dunno why, but if you set it to where only members can view the forum, they cant view the rss.

callumbush

06-01-2008 11:19 AM

All of mine are public, the only thing that is restricted is the download of attachments.
The rss feed icons on my homepage give a blank page, yet the ones on their sub forums work?

I think the issue could be that the ones on my homepage aren't actually the top level forums, they are 2nd level ("Select from the groups below:" is the top level forum). Do you think this could be the source of the issue for some of us?

Please forgive my RSS Feed ignorance, but ...

I installed the mod. RSS icons are there. Click on one and I'm taken to a page that shows the content. Now, how do users subscribe so their getting notices in email or RSS reader or the Live Bookmark thing?

vixyswillie

rcwild - If you're getting what appears to be a window full of code when you click on the icon, it's because you don't have an RSS feed reader installed to manage the subscription. You (and each of your forum users) would need that in order to successfully subscribe to the feeds after clicking on the icons.

What do you mean, "acting as links?" The implementation on your site appears correct.

DieselMinded

06-08-2008 03:42 AM

2 forums are links and not forums , they have the RSS feed Icon next to them this is wrong

Looks good. Any way to add this to sub-forums?

Hi all,

A few issues :)

1.) This seems to be messing up my forum heirarchies:

For example

http://www.phonedevil.com/f136/

> "UK" should is a child forum of "Best Phone Deals", but they both show on this page?

2) If you click on the RSS icon on the forums on my homepage, the feeds are blank (they do not show any threads)?

Please help! :)

Have you enabled RSS syndication in admincp?

callumbush

06-15-2008 03:58 PM

yep already done that :)

vixyswillie

06-15-2008 06:28 PM

Have you enabled Guest permissions to view forums, threads and posts? VB's implementation of RSS is based off Guest permissions. If your forums are closed to Guests, the RSS feed will not have any content to display.

Hi, i added the code as described and it still doesn't work on my vb 3.7.0. The icon doesn't show before threads. I got rss enabled and the other option under it (forgot it`s name) and still the damn gif refuses to appear. I`ve uploaded the gif in the images/misc directory also.
Did i mess something up ?:erm:

Okay I think i've figured out what it is!! If one of my homepage forums has a sub-forum, the RSS feed will not work. However if there is not a sub-forum, then the rss feed works!
....if this is correct then this hack is not very useful ;) can anyone help?

p.s. I have now restricted guests from viewing threads. However it still did not work when they were permitted to view threads.

I looked at your site, and the feeds are all working.

Does anyone know if this mod can be hidden from guests? I would love to have this shown only to members...otherwise the membership becomes kinda hard to control if a visitor wants to read the posts from the feeds.

Hiya thanks for looking.

Its still not working for me. I ony see feed content when I click on the icon for the Phone unlocking forum (i.e. the top one). All the rest are blank..

Nice hack. However it doesn't prevent hidden links to not be shown in rss.
I'm using hide hack to hide download links to guests but links aren't hidden in RSS.
