This nifty little utility will present a list of all of your forums RSS feeds on one page! Your users can then easily pick & choose which forums they want to subscribe to via RSS, Google, Yahoo, or Bloglines.
Ever go to a big site like CNN and view their page of RSS feeds that you can subscribe to? This is the same thing but for your vBulletin forums!
In addition to your users, the search engine spiders will love this!

FAQ's
- What vB versions? This should work with all versions of vB 3.6.x and above. It should also work with vB 3.5.x but I have not tested it on that version.
- Can I remove the "CinVin" text at the very bottom? NO! Believe it or not that little text is what allows us to work on hacks like this for free and, more importantly, to continue to support them. You are free to move the notice to your footer template, for example, if you would like to keep your notices all together but for removing it entirely a Branding Free license is available through CinVin.

This is a great hack that I've been looking for , for long time. I did every thing but as some others, I get a blank page when I click on the RSS button.
Please KW802 try to update it and I'm sure lots of people would find it very handy and then donate to reward your efforts, starting of me..

Most likely you need to enable rss in external data in acp.
The site is now under Maintenance . The feed page is showing well and all the forums are listed but once you click on a RSS button, you get a blank page. I doubled check every thing and I'm sure that the RSS is enabled coz I'm receiving feeds through my site tool-bar( special tool-bar for my site). There must be something wrong with the hack.
When I click on the RSS button, I get a link such as:
Code:
http://www.mysite.com/forum/<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: cv_ffl_forum_feed_link -->http://www.mysite.com/forum/external.php<!-- END TEMPLATE: cv_ffl_forum_feed_link-->
instead of a proper link to a rss page.
I have enabled rss in the external options page. My external.php page displays fine. I have it installed in my mysite.com/forum/ folder.
