Change site name & site URL listed in RSS feed?

I'm running vB 3.7.2 with no mods.

I'm wondering how I could modify external.php to change two data fields in the RSS feed for my vB forums. Specifically, I would like to change the channel <title> and <link> fields from the forums title and URL ($vboptions variables [bbtitle] and [bburl]) to my homepage title and URL ($vboptions variables [hometitle] and [homeurl]).

How could I go about doing that?

Thanks very much.

You need to look in the external.php page for the places it defines the channel. For instance, around line 464:

PHP Code:


		
			
            $xml->add_group('channel', array(
                'rdf:about' => $vbulletin->options['bburl']
            ));
                $xml->add_tag('title', $rsstitle);
                $xml->add_tag('link', $vbulletin->options['bburl'], array(), false, true);

You may modify those lines (they are in there a couple of times). It looks like $rsstitle is defined a little above there:

PHP Code:


		
			
    if (empty($title))
    { // just show board title
        $rsstitle = $vbulletin->options['bbtitle'];
    }
    else
    { // show board title plus selection
        $rsstitle = $vbulletin->options['bbtitle'] . " - $title";
    }

So you may modify it there.

I didn't look very hard in the file, so you'll have to just look for things like that in there and change them. At first glance, I don't see a hook location that you can plugin to in order to change them.
