Instead of having the feed icon displayed on the forums, how could i get it like this

http://www.sitepoint.com/syndication/

Any help would be great

Very nice job!!! *clicks install

Hey, cool hack....

Everything installed fine and properly working....

My only request is to add instructions at the bottom of rss_mod.txt file is:

Quote:

Enable External Data Provider>RSS(Yes)& XML(Yes)
from Admincp>vboptions

Cos, tats the most important thing without which maximum users get Blank page displays...

FANTASTIC!

/me clicks install!

/me states that he has got it installed and working easy peasy!

/me is happy!

Ok I had another question for you all. A while back we were working on getting our feed to spit out the full post, with all of the html intact, where we changed this in the external.php file:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "\t\t<content:encoded><![CDATA[". htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbcode($thread['preview'], false, true), $vboptions['thread'])) ."]]></content:encoded.\r\n";

to this:

PHP Code:


		
			
require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');

echo "\t\t<content:encoded><![CDATA[". parse_bbcode2($thread['preview'], false, true, false, true) ."]]></content:encoded.\r\n";

Smileys dont show up when viewing it through bloglines (our company's aggregator of choice)...this is a small annoyance but if someone could fill me in on what to do to get smileys to show up as well that would be great...I NEED the full html so I cannot compromise that, so if it is one or the other, than I can live without smileys.

My big thing is that it seems as though the feed is only pumping out the first posts of each thread, anytime a thread is replied to it does not show up in the feed...any one have any ideas how I can remedy this situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thank you!

Check this hack I just made:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=68815

It lets you choose if you want the feeds to parse bbcodes or not and have support for smilies.

For your second question, open external.php and find:

PHP Code:


		
			
         ORDER BY thread.dateline DESC
         LIMIT 15

and replace that with:

PHP Code:


		
			
         ORDER BY thread.lastpost DESC
          LIMIT 15

Now when a thread gets replied to, it shows up on the feeds.

I just tweaked the XML image display placement to align to the right of the Forum/Thread title. Looks much cleaner.

FORUMHOME

Code:

<!-- ORGINAL CODE <td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td> -->



<!-- RSS FEED MOD -->

<td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

  <tr>

    <td class="thead">$vbphrase[forum]</td>

    <td><a href="external.php?type=RSS2" style="float:right"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/rss.gif" alt="XML RSS 2.0 feed for all Threads in all Forums" border="0" /></a></td>

  </tr>

</table>

</td>

FORUMDISPLAY

Code:

<!-- ORIGINAL CODE <td class="tcat" width="100%">$vbphrase[threads_in_forum]<span class="normal">: $foruminfo[title]</span></td> -->



<!-- RSS FEED MOD -->

<td class="tcat" width="100%">

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

  <tr>

    <td class="tcat">$vbphrase[forum]<span class="normal">: $foruminfo[title]</span></td>

    <td><a href="external.php?type=RSS2&amp;forumids=$foruminfo[forumid]" style="float:right"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/rss.gif" alt="XML RSS 2.0 feed for Threads in $foruminfo[title]" border="0" /></a></td>

  </tr>

</table>

</td>

* Notice I added the Forum Title in the "alt" description for the sub-forums. Now reads alt="XML RSS 2.0 feed for Threads in $foruminfo[title]"

See it in action here

Hope this helps. Enjoy!

Is there a way to have the xml icon show on each category on the main forum page? Since my subforms do not need to be expanded to see the sub-boards (All boards are visable on main index page) It'd be ideal to have the icon next to each sub-forum listed.

Having a problme with the hack; I have put rss on my site, and I want to use myyahoo's button: http://my.yahoo.com/s/button.html

The weird thing is when I type in the url to rss for my site, which works if you click it, it does not work for yahoo. The link is: http://www.volconvo.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2

Got any ideas?
