OMG! Fixed.

I didn't notice the RSS option... Something so simple... lol

Thanks!

Maybe an off-topic question to this hack - but
why the yahoo integration doesn' update the feeds automatically

or

any luck?

<a href="http://www.muppets-clan.com/cv_rss_feeds.php" target="_blank">http://www.muppets-clan.com/cv_rss_feeds.php</a> heres mine please try n you will see blank page when click on rss image

Just wondering where would the best place to put a link to the rss page, would it be the footer, and would an RSS picture be better? could someone provide the code to do this as well :)

Thanks.

Great mod. Thank you :)

Hi @all,

I use in my board the Zoints SEO hack (Mod_Rewrite) but zionts dos not work on the cv_rss_feeds.php.
what musst i do to get rewrite aso work on the cv_rss_feeds.php ?

sorry for my bad english, i working on it:surprised:

It works for me on zoints w/ mod_rewrite

Thats not true, i viseted you board and found the same content via 2 URL?s

For Example:

www.mindifidoaj.com/forum/world-f16.html (From Your Board Home)
www.mindifidoaj.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=16 (From your cv_rss_feeds.php)

same content via 2 diffrent url?s = Double Content

Has anyone a soulution ?

Oh, it's not rewriting, i thought you were saying you were not able to access it.

That doesn't bother me, as long as it works is all Im concerned about. ;)

I guess not..time to uninstall...

The next version is about 99% ready to go. I've cleaned up a bunch of code, moved various options to the ACP so you don't have to modify the PHP file, and added internal vBSEO compatibility.

You can see it running in action with vBSEO here. Attached is a screen shot showing the new ACP options.

Before I package the update and release can I get anybody who is running vBSEO with the Direct Forum Links option turned to give it a go?

:)

Sweeeeeeeet! Very nice! looking good! You're very dedicated man! Also with PP Gallery too. I download everything from you. =)

I'll give it a go :)

PM me an email address to use (or IM; I'm usually on in the afternoons EST) either here, at CinVin, or at vBulletinUsers.com and I'll forward the current package to you. :cool:

I'm running vbseo. :)

Any updates on this?

Installed, awaiting the latest update:

http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cv_rss_feeds.php

Darn - I am getting this when importing....

Any ideas please?

It's a vB 3.6.4 product ...

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.

Hello Guys!

I have installed this product but I see only one link with RSS, the principal title of my forum; other sections there aren't

Link

I have also check in my ACP and RSS, Javascript in External Provider are active...Please, How Can I resolve this problem?

Thank all :)

Great hack! It was working fine, then I just started getting a blank page. I'm not sure what could be conflicting with it. One thing that is curious is that you are using the variable $adv_portal_forumlist, which looks like a CMPS module. I'm using CMPS, but I don't see how your variable could be conflicting.

Anyway, any ideas would be great. I'd love to get this back online. Thanks!

The feeds seem to be updated by a cron job. May I know which cron job is involved in this, so that I can run it manually when I require.

That is a known flaw with the program. It refuses to add in categories that are anchored (#) Supposedly there is a new version that is being tested..that fixes this issue. It has not been released.

has this been updated to work with vBSEO yet ?

I guess I'll un-install it if its never going to be :(

A quite FYI...

- Version 2.x is delayed as I work out some vBSEO issues. The current version posted in this thread is supposed to be working just fine with vBSEO according to their developer guidelines but obviously it isn't. When I use their functions to create vBSEO standardized URLs I am getting mixed results. As soon as I hear back from their tech' guys for a resolution I'll either update this thread or incorporate the changes in the new version.

- If you are getting a blank page when attempting to view the RSS results for an individual forum then make sure that you have (a) RSS feeds enabled in your ACP and (b) the last thread in that forum is newer then the X days specified in the ACP.

- If you are getting a blank page when attempting to the cv_rss_feeds.php page then the usual problem is a missing template (eg: something may have gone wrong when importing the product). If you are still getting a blank page then try either installing a fresh copy and importing a fresh copy of the product (uninstall the current one loaded and then install the fresh product XML) or you can submit a Support Ticket at CinVin and I'll take a look.

Kevin ,
In rss feeds there is currently a problem it doesn't recognize the forumids so it takes all forums feeds. I also double checked it on your board and you also have the same problem.
http://www.ayyas.com/rss if you check in here you can see that RSS and Bloglines images donot have the forumids but yahoo and google have the forumids. Is there any workaround for this ?

also i dont want to read 11 pages :p what is the problem with vbseo :p

Installed no drama on 3.6.4

Just imported the product
uploaded the images folder to ../forum/images/
uploaded the php file to ../forum/

Checked the page and all is working.

Thank you very very handy.

Sweet! Used the FTP program and clicked the install button!

This works great! Thanks for all your hard work, as it is really appreciated. :)
