the rss feed works just in public forums ((visitors can read threads )) .

[kollam003]

The RSS Feed works well in all cases: Public or Closed forums.

For closed forums, just install this Mods by Abe1 first. Then follow the normal procedure for activating RSS Feed from your ACP. :up:

I have it working on my Board (vB 3.7 CR2).

Attached is a less eye catching rss icon (if you don?t want your forum homepage to be filled with the standard orange rss icon).

Thanks for help - now works!

How can i just make it appear only to forums which are free to read/view to all members/visitors of my website?

I just dont want the icon to appear in private forums cause there is no point...thanx!

[nirvana43]

well it should be replaced by :

<a href="external.php?forumids=$forum[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/rss_small.gif" border="0" width="13" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Subscribe to this feed $forum[title]"></img></a>

so that there will be no more w3c html markup validation errors!! Bingo!

that will make it 100% w3c validated!

thanks for mod though!

[pericolosogr]

So is there any way i can add this icon only to Forums i want...and to all of them?

[KURTZ]

is possible put the feed icon not near the forum title, but at the end of the 'forum cell'?

Try adding this to the snippet:

style="float: right"

So it looks like this:

<a href="external.php?forumids=$forum[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/rss_small.gif" style="float: right" border="0" width="13" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Subscribe to this feed $forum[title]"></a>
