Rss feeds
 

Hi im making a hotornot site www.oh-twadi.com/Rate and want to have the latest forum topics on it,how do i go abt doing this.or maybe even the top X' stats on it from the forum
so if anyone knows can you help me

Huh? You want to take the forums that are in that i-rater thing and have them appear in your vBulletin forum?

If I am correct in assuming the above, then you're going to have to find out how that i-rater's RSS (not CSS) feed works.

Once you figure that out, to import it into vBulletin, use Article Bot or some other method of importing RSS into vBulletin. I, personally, use this so that's why I'm recommending it.

To bypass ALL of this, why not just kill that i-rater's own forum and hard link it to your already existing http://www.oh-twadi.com/forum/ ?
I see you've already done this in the main hot-or-not rating area.

sorry i didnt make myself clear enuff,erm how do i have the vbulletin forum feed topics onto the i-rater home

Oh okay...
That's not difficult.
You will have to turn on the external data provider option in your vbulletin administration panel under vbulletin options.

then you can pull feeds from your vbulletin forum like this:
Pull all of the forums: http://www.oh-twadi.com/forum/external.php?type=rss
Pull only forum 1: http://www.oh-twadi.com/forum/extern...rss&forumids=1
Pull forums 1,7,10, and 11: http://www.oh-twadi.com/forum/extern...mids=1,7,10,11

You cannot pull forums that are only available to registered users. The forums that are available via RSS must be available to guests.

basicaly i click the pull all forums link and i just view source and add that code to where i want it

No. You have to have an RSS news aggregator for that i-rate thing. Most likely it doesn't have one...
You then put the link as I've mentioned above into the aggregator and it pulls the RSS feed per some schedule you set.

ah man,how would i go about adding 1,do u no at all

you're asking for support for i-rater now. You should ask on their support forums. The syntax for pulling RSS feeds from vBulletin is given above, so once you are ready to use those feeds, use them.

This will not work:
Should be like this:
