Add RSS button at bottom of page
 

Adds an https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ button to the bottom of the page (next to the "top" hyperlink)

1. Upload RSS.GIF to yourforum/images/misc

2. Admin CP > Styles and Templates > Style Manager > All Style Options

In "footer", find :

Below it, add :

Done!

You could have made this as a tutorial. It's way too simple to add an RSS button in a template.

I'm not experienced enough to start teaching people via tutorials lol!

Then why go, create and release hacks when you don't even know what you're doing?

I know what I'm doing enough to release this mod which definitely works. Jeez - negativity! It might teach people about external.php and stylevars anyway.

If one person finds this mod useful, it's done it's job :cheeky:

Wrong forum. It's a template mod.

He's uploading an image, eh?

ahh! Thanks Mark. You saved me the time of looking into how to do this. I've been thinking of adding a RSS button to my footer for some time now but haven't taken the time to figure it out.

Cheers!

/me clicks install

Thanks Mark! perfect been thinkin of thi for a long time

Glad its of help!

for some reason, the RSS button will not show up on my forum...

Do you have RSS enabled on your forum?

Go to http://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM/FORUM/images/misc.gif to check if the image is in the right place?

you might want to start taking stock of why all your posts are negative aftermath...jeez man,every time your name pops up, its critizing something.....u never seem to have a good word tosay bout anything!!

chill man, markys done this to help....read down the thread, someones actually grateful for it....u might wanna take a leaf out of his book....

i for one am glad he`s posted it...so as he saysin his post....jobs a good un!!

*clicks install*

this might be off the hack topic, but what exactly does RSS do? i installed this and when i click the button it comes up with a blank page

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_%28file_format%29" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_%28file_format%29</a>

A simple and nice hack. :)

>>installs

Click Install

If people preferred RDF they could of course use http://www.lavinya.net/phpBB2/rdf.gif as the image, and

as the code

or....

for both.

< Clicks INSTALL >

This saved me a bunch of time figuring out where to add the image tags.

Does anyone know the if/then statements that would allow us to specify the RSS feed for a specific forum/thread when the member is in that forum/thread?

Also the buttons look very nice on the left side of the forum if you aren't using the languafe or skin chooser boxes ;)

You could almost have a blogging system then, if you had a hidden forum set up!

Almost! - but vB needs these features like these if it's going to maintain it's edge as the best forum software out there!

Here's a weird problem:

I have RSS enabled...

I have confirmed that the rss.gif is in the right image folder...

The change to the footer is showing up when I view the source...

BUT... when I load a forum, the RSS image simply doesn't appear.

In Firefox, while the page is loading, an empty image placeholder appears after the "Top" link and, if you click on it fast enough, that does bring you to the RSS version of the page but, once the page loads, the placeholder disappears and nothing replaces it, nothing is left to click - the page looks just as it did before although, as I've said, the source code shows the change.

In IE, the empty placeholder remains after the page has loaded and, again, you can click on that to go to the RSS version.

Any ideas about why the image isn't appearing? I have downloading the image itself back down from the server and it seems fine.

If you've got Adblock installed on your Firefox it could be the problem - it got rid of my New Thread button because it had "ad" in it!

Interesting. In this case, though, Adblock hasn't been installed in Firefox and IE, obviously, has no such defenses.

I thought it might be some sort of Norton problem but I disabled the firewall and it made no difference.

Is anyone else having the same problem?

Thanks for replying and thanks for providing this.

More than welcome!
