I posted a solution to get it to work with your current version :P

If you do this, it will work (quoting myself from 1 page back...I'm glad you tried to read the thread <_< ):

It looks like KW802 hasn't updated the download here, but at his site, www.cinvin.com, he has Version 2 posted. Version 1.x wasn't working for me (and I have vBSEO). Version 2 works great! NO problems! :)

Thanks for the great hack!

theres no external.php page, it shows blank on my site when i click the rss buttons

is there anyway to make the feed only display certain forums ?

any demos?

How can I modify external.php update time. It seems that it updates every 20 minutes. I want it to be shorter.

perfect

Hi
I install it but When I was subscribe in google yahoo or blog it shown this message
No feeds were found. Please verify that the website publishes an RSS feed.
or
Preview not available. Add this content to your page to see it.

this is our site addresses: www.sat2m.com & this is our rss feed http://www.sat2m.com/cv_rss_feeds.php

please help me

just installed it over at www.forumjunkies.net - loving it - I just added a icon to it and place the icon where I wanted it !!

Great stuff

please, explain, why my forum need this mod? how can I use it?

I experienced a "blank page" too but I got it working now. I'm not sure which step fixed the problem but I'll tell you everything I did.

First I didn't check if RSS in ACP was on, sure enough, it was off. I turned it on and still no go. i went to http://------.com/forum/external.php, still blank. I went into "external data provier" and just turn everything on, then rebuilt style, reload cv_rss_feeds.php and no more blank page.

change 777 permissions for cv_rss_feeds.php and i think it will be on fly.

why do you need this mod? explane me please how you will use it

Version to from the cinvin site is much better - I advise those who use this to upgrade.

Well done with this, excellent stuff.

However...

Why display private forums if feeds are not going to work from them? All private forums show up as blank pages, which is kinda good or else anyone with the right URL could read private forum content - but why have them in the list at all? it confuses my staff and makes them ask me if they can get feeds of the staff forums!

Is it not possible at all for the rss file to check cookie permissions on the browser in which the feed was being displayed - to allow for rss feeds of private forums?

It doesn't seem impossible to me thinking about it, but that doesn't mean it isnt!

Thanks

Harley

I can't log in over at cinvin, I get a 404 error. Can anyone here or someone from cinvin send me or upload the newest version here? I would really like to have this please :)

Only Forum main link is appearing.

Can you help me fix this so it show all forum rss feeds ?

Many Thanks.

Kevin? Are you supporting this? Can we have the newest version please?

@ anyone - is there supposed to be something in the ACP to edit settings? Or is that part of the update promised here that's not here? ? I saw a screenshot on one of the posts in this thread, but I can find nothing in my acp for this.

installed!

This mod is FAB! thank you

Seem to have a problem...Once I click on the 'RSS' icon, I get a blank screen. I looked at some of the previous posts to see if anyone had anything similar happen to them, but couldn't really come to a solution for the problem. You can find the problem Here.

Any suggestions? :)

Great mod, *clicks installed*

Does this mod do anything to change the feeds?

On my board without this mod, all feeds have the post information within the {description} node.

But on my board with this mode, there is a {description} node which is truncated, and a {content:encoded} node which contains the post information.

The reading I'm using ONLY reads {description} so this is causing me problems. I disabled the mod, and will wait for my feeds to refresh, but wanted to see if anyone knew the answer.

Thanks!

Just added it to 3.6.5 Works perfectly. Thanks :up:

3.6.8 compatible?

i got some sub categories and they aren't showing in the rss...what can i do about it?

Btw nice hack :)

I agree, and will uninstall until this can be fixed - a shame,too - this hack is about 99% there...

But they DON't show...

http://www.dancehallareaz.com/forum/rss.php

look at mine under Producing Corner u only see
- Media
- New Riddim Database
- Dj BattleDome

as a guest but when ur a member level 2 u get to see all the fields (there's 6) That is what the author was saying...

If you are logged in as admin you will see everything log out completely and you will only see what guest as permissions too...

p.s My Staff Corner has a password so u can see it there..but u need a pswd to login

Yes. As long as the basic architecture of the forums aren't changed between versions then it should work going forward as well.

Could you let me know what the URL and missing sub-categories are? Feel free to PM the info if you prefer not posting the URL in public. I'm in the midst of working on the code to add a new feature that somebody had requested so if there is a bug then this is the perfect time for me to dig into it.

Exactly. :)

I've updated the original post to include a new attachment, version 2.1.1 of the project. :)

There has been several additional to the application since the original version released here at vB.org -- After upgrading check your ACP for some of the new options.

This version also includes a bug fix for people running vBSEO and were experiencing an issue with no forums being listed on the page.

Please let me know if you have any questions or issues with the latest version.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi ,
i installed the New Version . i have 2 problem :

1 - i have VBSEO ( the version that they published in vb.org ) installed in my forum , when i turned vbseo option ON i got this error :
2 - i turned up vbseo option , everything shows up but i got Blank Pages in some forums when i clicked on RSS button of them !!

Any Idea ?
thanks

Mecho,

Did you put the cv_rss_feeds.php script in the same folder as your forums? I may have not specified that in the install instructions.

yea i did otherwise how could i browse it ! ?

Is that a trick question?

Anway... I just re-read your problem:There is no version of vBSEO released here at vB.org so in your case you'll want that option turned off. (The product "vBSEO SiteMap" is not the same thing as "vBSEO" -- They are made by the same company but are two very different products.)

As to why you're getting a blank page, turn off the vBSEO option and then give me a URL to take a look at where you are having the problem.

I just upgraded and wanted to let you know that the "Exclude some forums from showing?" part isn't working, I put in some forum ID's and they still show.

plz check ur pm box , links Sent

I'll check the code again this weekend... likely Sunday. I have a habit of working on several chunks of code at once so there is always the possibility that I missed something. :o

I'm only be online for a few minutes today but I see the PM alert and I'll check it out either late tonight or sometime Sunday. :)

C, any chance your browser cache was being loaded instead of a fresh view? I just tried the option on a live site and it worked as expected and I just took a look at the code in the attachment here and it matches the code on the site where it worked.

Just to rule it out, could you re-view the page and either clear your cache first or do a hard-refresh when viewing it?

Thanks

Hey, do I know you? (C?) :) I cleared the cache and now see it's only when I am logged in that I see it and I guess cause I am an admin and can see the forums I set it not to show... could this be it?

Oh yeah, duh me, cinvin Kevin, hey! :D

Would be nice if the first post was updated with the updated changes ;)

cheers

Version 2.2.0 has been released and attached to the first post.

• Added new option to show forums based upon a usergroup ID. The default value is now usergroup ID 1. What that means is that if you enter a usergroup ID then only those forums that the specified usergroup can view will be shown. The default value is 1 (unregistered users). This is now the default behavior. To have all forums shown that the user has permissions to view (the old behavior) then remove the value & leave it blank. This was added due to a concern that was raised about a site staff member using something like iGoogle (Google's personal portal page) to view an RSS feed for a forum that users do not normally have access to and then Google caching the feed & somehow the cache being released into the wild. The odds were slim (if at all possible) but I agree with the thought behind the concern. This will also most likely eliminate some people using the Exclude Forums option to do the same thing.
• Fixed 'Excluded Forums' option; was not working in all circumstances.
• Fixed display issue introduced in 2.1.1 for vBSEO users. If you are a vBSEO user and installed version 2.1.1 then you would've started seeing the text "DEBUG MODE" in the middle of the screen even if you had Debug Mode turned off.
• Code cleanup. Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.

Whew! OK, let me know what you guys/gals find next. :)

:) Turns out I was uh.. uhm... hhhmm.... err... uhm.... wrong. The Excluded Forums option did indeed have a problem. It's been fixed in the 2.2.0 version.

Check post #2 ;)

updated and still i can see Blankpages in some sections :(

Something is going on with your session IDs being the URL like that. I'll take a closer look when I get home.

EDIT: OK, assuming that we're talking about the same problem then edit your 'cv_ffl_forum_link' template and replace it with this...
