Title: Show RSS Icon with RSS2 Link to Each Forum on Forum Home

Author: Icy @ Golpo Community Forum.

Description: This will add RSS Icon to Each Forum on Forum Home with RSS2 Links.

Live Demo: Golpo Community Forum.

How Do I Install: Upload the rss.gif into ./images/misc/ directory. Then go to Admin Control Panel > Styles & Templates > Style Manager. Then in forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template search for:
Add above:
Attention:For those who are getting blank page, Please enable RSS Syndication option in Admin Control Panel > vBulletin Options > External Data Provider

Compatibility: This will work for all vB 3.5.x & 3.6.x version.

Please if you are using this modification then don't forget to click install.

Note: As the title says this modification is for forum home only. However you can simply apply the same change to forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template for sub forum. But for the best result I prefer Show RSS Feed Icon in each forum for sub forum :)

P.S. If anyone want me to install this & Wayne Luke's modification for him/her then PM Icy with a temporary admin access as I don't use this nick (Mudvayne) anymore.

There is a small code problem. You shall change the inserted text to

Thanks. Instruction updated.

Hello, is this hack supposed to show the RSS logo just on the sites that are bringing in RSS feeds?

For some reason, it is showing the RSS logo on all my forums??

Nop. This will show the RSS icon on each forum.
Some how I missed it. I use Show RSS Feed Icon in each forum by Wayne Luke. Then I thought I could show RSS on Forum Home. So I did it & share it.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Cheers!

I'll install it later today. Thanks! :)

Love it. Clicked install. But I noticed some invalid HTML in your code.

Replace the inserted text with this:
PS. I noticed that Lizard King pointed out the same thing in his post. Mine is like his but included an alt tag for the image that tells users it's an rss feed.

Clicked install. But please update your zipped file and first post especially (since that's what I used instead of the bb-coded text file).

Thanks! :)

Sorry to triple-post. I have a question this time.

Could anybody help code it so the RSS feeds only show up for forums that all users have access to? I noticed the feeds don't work on any other forum. At least not for me.

For example, our mod or admin-only forums return blank feeds.

Thanks SnitchSeeker zip file updated. I guess that would require a plugin.
