Show RSS Icon on Forum Home · **Released**: 03-05-2007

Title: Show RSS Icon with RSS2 Link to Each Forum on Forum Home

Author: Icy @ Golpo Community Forum.

Description: This will add RSS Icon to Each Forum on Forum Home with RSS2 Links.

Live Demo: Golpo Community Forum.

How Do I Install: Upload the rss.gif into ./images/misc/ directory. Then go to Admin Control Panel > Styles & Templates > Style Manager. Then in forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template search for:

HTML Code:

            <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

Add above:

HTML Code:

            <a href="external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/rss.gif" border="0" align="right" alt="RSS Feed for $forum[title]" /></a>

Attention:For those who are getting blank page, Please enable RSS Syndication option in Admin Control Panel > vBulletin Options > External Data Provider

Compatibility: This will work for all vB 3.5.x & 3.6.x version.

Please if you are using this modification then don't forget to click install.

Note: As the title says this modification is for forum home only. However you can simply apply the same change to forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template for sub forum. But for the best result I prefer Show RSS Feed Icon in each forum for sub forum

P.S. If anyone want me to install this & Wayne Luke's modification for him/her then PM Icy with a temporary admin access as I don't use this nick (Mudvayne) anymore.

well this is mainly because your forums permission is not set to allow unregistered to view the the forums!

rss in only working when your forums are free to view, for anybody,
it is a vbulletin feature and not a problem of this mod!

i have 5 forums only free to anybody but i cant set this image to appear only to these forums...any help??
thanx

I had issues using the mod inside level1_post .. so to get around it I decided to display the buttons only on forumhome.. if you wish to do the same or just want the buttons on forumhome only.. then do the following..

so inside forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

find

Code:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

replace

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">

<a href="external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/misc/rss.gif" border="0" align="right" alt="RSS Feed for $forum[title]" /></a>

</if>
			
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>
