RSS Feed Manager: Are the channel variables available?

[TheMilkCarton]

I just went about doing some file edits to external.php.. I'm still sorting out that awful vBulletin image, though.

For whatever reason, it's only Firefox that gives it to me. Other RSS viewers just put the link to the forums around the title of the forum, for instance "vBulletin.org Forum - Title of Subforum".

What really stunned me was that for whatever reason, that specific link only ever goes to "www.domain.com/forums"??? I just modified it so that if the feed is from only ONE $forumid, that link goes directly to the forum.

I also modified it so that some of my feeds (content-based ones) would no longer have "Forums" in the feed name, just "Domain.com - News". The easier way would have been changing the forum title, but I didn't want to take "Forums" out of everything.

Anyway, I was actually just doing all that now, if I figure it out, I'll post back here. I'm not any good with plugins, but from the hook locations I'd say I don't think this would be file-edit free, though.

Oh... I re-read your OP..

So you're asking about the Feed Manager, and not the External Data Provider? Oops. haha. The code got me confused.. *sigh*

Yeah, I'm not too sure about that... The info about using {rss:link} or {rss:description} doesn't seem to say anything about a node inside another node.
