[ BY REQUEST ]

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!

We went out of our way to make sure that this CinVin vBulletin add-on was quick & easy to both install and modify!
  • Automatically adds an RSS button to your footer template.
  • Correctly shows where your visitors are when viewing the Who's Online page.
  • Forums can be specifically excluded from being listed.
  • Ability to specify which usergroup to use for permissions when viewing the list of forums.
  • "Link" forums can be turned off from showing.
  • All options are configured through the vBulletin ACP.
  • All descriptions and names are completely phrased so you can quickly add alternate lanquages or change the existing wording.
  • All display output is handled through vBulletin templates so you can quickly change the output appearance.
  • All templates and phrase are installed as a vBulletin product through your ACP which means there are no file edits!
  • Compatible with vBSEO.
  • Easy integration with vBadvanced CMPS.
  • Debug mode to help you with any problems you may be having.
Installation only take a few moments...
  • Unzip the .zip file that you downloaded.
  • Upload the single PHP file and single folder in the upload_to_your_forum_folder folder from the download to your forums folder.
  • Go into your ACP and select Plugins & Products => Manage Products => Add/Import Product => {Select the CinVin_vB_Forum_Feed_Listing.xml file from the download} => Import
You're all done! Just point your browser to http://www.yoursite.com/forums/cv_rss_feeds.php to view your new RSS feed listings.

DEMO #1: CinVin RSS Feeds (this is the 'stock' version)

DEMO #2: Cool Sci-Fi RSS Feeds (this one has been integrated with vBa CMPS)


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.

I'll be posting an update later today at some point to handle it (I need to handle it for both 3.1.x and now older versions) but in the mean time if you've upgraded to vBSEO 3.1.0 Gold and have the error then do a search & replace in your cv_rss_feeds.php file for the changed function name.
Also, when you change the name of the cv_rss_feeds.php file, adjusting it via the admincp also doesn't change the RSS link in the forum footer.

Doh! That means I did something silly like forgetting to use the variable name in the template (cv_ffl_rss_button_in_footer).

Thanks for letting me know, I'll fix it in the next update (2.3.1) that I'm prepping.

In your ACP, do you have the option turned on to include template names in your output?

Great Mod!

Found a bug, which I think I have fixed:

The 'automatic RSS button in footer' option displays the wrong file if you edit the filename of cv_rss_feeds.php.

To fix, an edit to your cv_ffl_rss_button_in_footer template is required.

Change this:
HTML Code:
<a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/cv_rss_feeds.php\" target=\"_self\" title=\"$vboptions[hometitle] $vbphrase[cv_ffl_title]\"><img src=\"$vboptions[bburl]/images/cinvin_forum_feed_listing/rss.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"$vboptions[hometitle] $vbphrase[cv_ffl_title]\" style=\"vertical-align:  middle\" /></a> -
to this:
HTML Code:
<a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[cv_ffl_filename]\" target=\"_self\" title=\"$vboptions[hometitle] $vbphrase[cv_ffl_title]\"><img src=\"$vboptions[bburl]/images/cinvin_forum_feed_listing/rss.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"$vboptions[hometitle] $vbphrase[cv_ffl_title]\" style=\"vertical-align:  middle\" /></a> -

Also, it seems that the forum exclusions via Admin CP are still not working as intended. If I enter a single forum ID in the exclusion field, the script correctly blocks it. However if multiple forums are added, separated by commas, they still show in the script. Seems to be an error with the parsing of the excluded forum IDs.

However, there is a work-around:
  1. Create a dummy usergroup, e.g. rssfeedview.
  2. Edit the permissions for this dummy usergroup to match the forums you wish to show in the forum feed listing.
  3. In the admin CP options for the feed listing mod, change the Permissions Usergroup ID to that of your dummy usergroup created above.
The script will now show only the forums you wish to be displayed


Also, it would be great to somehow include the main vBulletin Blog RSS feed (or other various RSS feeds a site may have) on this page as well. I couldn't figure out how to hard code that in to the templates. Any suggestions would be appreciated!


**EDIT** Oops, looks like someone mentioned the footer button bug a few posts before mine. In any case, the fix I provided works

I have this same problem when clicking the MyYahoo and other buttons.
WHen I click the RSS button, and the links on the left site of the rss page, I get a Error 404, File not found error.

Any fix for this yet??

I have only two issues with this hack...
  1. Why does BB code show in the feed?
  2. Why isn't all the content of the thread post showing in the feed?
If you can help me out with this...I'd greatly appreciate it...

Update...

Anyone at all? This post is three days old...
