RSS Feed Image Question
 

I am creating a Pinterest type of wall. I want to feed it with the VBulletin RSS feed. I have it working but it does not show images, only text. How can I get vBulletin to send the image info in the RSS feed.

Thanks,

Anyone know how to get vBulletin's RSS feed to kick out image thumbnails,

I found this ...

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...14#post2189114

Which says to go here ...

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Message Posting & Editing Options > Allow Dynamic URL for [IMG] Tags

However I can't find this section.

Any help would be appreciated.

Well those instructions are outdated, for a different version, and the OP there is asking about RSS feeds that you post to your site, from another site.

IIRC, the RSS feeds from vBulletin ( when you are viewing your feed page ) actually strip out the images somehow, and I have not come across a solution.

Ozzy,

Thanks for the reply. What I am trying to do is to get vBulletin to fill in thumbnail images into a Pinterest style cascading wall. Here is a link to a website using vBulletin that is getting it to accomplish this task. Any ideas?

I have seen something similar before, but I don't know what they are using. :(

Ok some info you may or may not know about this site. I pulled up the page source to see what was going on and how they were accomplishing this set up.

1. The ZBSee page is a custom page within vBulletin. It can be done by making a php file with the proper code & and new template again with the proper code and you will need to place code that will call up the gallery in this page and set up the layout how you want it.

2. It looks like what they are doing is pulling this one page from a particular forum area.

3. I'm not entirely sure they are using the RSS feed on this. It looks like that they have a custom JavaScript perhaps that is pulling these images from the threads. From what I see in the source its possibly a JavaScript with some CSS styling to get the effects that they want.

This is HEAVILY coded, if you are not good with code then you might want to hire someone to code the page for you. You'll need to know PHP, CSS, HTML & JavaScript to probably do this.

ozzy47 & HM666,

Thank you for your responses and I appreciate you taking the time to look at the site. Looks like it is something way over my head.

Thanks again

There are a lot of talented coders here on this forum. You might want to consider posting in the Paid Requests forum for a coder. Make sure you read the stickies on that forum before hiring anyone. :)
