Integrate an RSS feed....

How can I integrate a RSS feed into a VB forum. I have a section on the right of the forums for news and would like to include this news feed:

http://www.php.net/news.rss

How can I do that?

Thanks

If I understand you correctly, there is already a hack released for this issue:

Hmm... i don't want it in a forum though, just the url in a sidebar left menu.

I saw that hack, but it sounds uber complicated to me with bots posting, while all i need it the url added to a menu.

Isn't there an easier way?

I'm looking for this as well. I'd like to include an RSS feed on each forum page in the right-hand space beside the logo in the header. I have a PHP XML parser (ONYX-RSS), but not sure how to go about including it properly.

CARP will do everything you need.

put this in the phpinclude_start template

Code:

ob_start();

require("path/to/show_news.php");

$news = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

then you can put "$news" where ever you want. ;)

to get the RSS feed for a specific forum you must first turn on the external.php option in your admincp via vb options. then to include a link to the forum's RSS feed by simply including this url in the forumdisplay template:

HTML Code:

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/external.php?type=RSS&f=$foruminfo[forumid]">$foruminfo[title] RSS</a>

also for others who want to take this is a step further and allow some browsers to pick your RSS feed up automatically include this line in the forumdisplay template header;)

HTML Code:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] - $foruminfo[title]" href="$vboptions[bburl]/external.php?type=RSS&f=$foruminfo[forumid]" />
