this runs perfectly onto my 3.7.0 ...

Yes, I am also using that code, and its still not working.

For those getting the blank pages...do this:
Admin CP > vBulletin Options > External Data Provider > Enable RSS Syndication << set to yes.

I also believe if certain forum permissions are set to certain usergroups that the feed will not show...great for protecting certain forums! :up:

This setting allows you to enable/disable the RSS content syndication system.

Yes

Hi is it possible to use RSS image inside the forum next to threads, I am only keeping 3 threads inside the forum for RSS as sticky threads if I can add RSS icon there it will tell user that this thread is RSS.

Any way to do that to certain threads to a dedicated forum only??

if someone want to put the icon in forumdisplay (subforums)

open template

• forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

find

PHP Code:

<td class="alt1Active" colspan="2" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]"> 


after add

PHP Code:

<a href="external.php?forumids=$forum[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/rss_small.gif" style="float: right" border="0" width="14" height="14" hspace="2" alt="Subscribe to this feed $forum[title]"></a> 


however i need an answer: if a forum is private and someone take the feed from it, what happens? he can see the posts?
