RSS autodiscovery
 

This mod will trigger autodiscovery in news aggregators that support autodiscovery (most do).

In AdminCP, in the headinclude, find (usually about 3-4 lines from the top):
add the following below:
That's it. Simple.

Let me know if you have any questions.

i may sound rude to some, or wierd to others... but what exactly does this do?

Most news aggregators like FeedDemon have a feature that allows you to just insert the url to the website and the software detects the url to the xml file on it self and you don't need to find out where exactly the newsfeed is.

This little code snippet (its a template mod for vbulletintemplates.com) tells the software where the newsfeed is. It's really handy.

Here's a practical demonstration:

Imagin vbulletin.com has this 'hack' installed. Now you install FeedDemon and you only need to enter www.vbulletin.com/forum and FeedDemon automatically finds out where the newsfeed is. :)

This isnt a hack, its a template Mod. A nice one but still a template mod.

Also, some news aggregators, like News Crawler, watch IE. If you open a site with this hack installed in IE, News Crawler automatically discovers the RSS feed.

I agree, I probably should post this at vbulletintemplates.com....

Demo - turn on your news reader before visiting http://www.efhs84.com/

I think it should be standard in 3.0.4 :)

Feedster doesn't seem to recognize the demo you gave:

Also, how well does this work in conjunction with this mod:

[vB 3.0.1] - RSS Output Mod & Icon

That's because Feedster is looking for /rss.xml, which doesn't exist. I have no idea how it's coming up with THAT file name. The source code of my demo is correct.

How does it integrate with the mod I mentioned above? Since each page has its own discovery now, can your mod be modified to work with that mod?
