Change External.php To RSS Feed For One Forum Only · **Released**: 12-15-2007

Step 1: Create a file called rss.php and add this to the file:

Code:

<?
header("Location: http://yoursite.com/forum_feed_address");
?>

Example: On my site this is the addess I have entered:

Code:

http://gridironfans.com/forums/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=109&order=1

Step 2: Upload to your root directory folder (http://yoursite.com/")

Step 3: Template Edit:

AdminCP/Style Manager/All Style Options

In headerinclude:

Find:

Code:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS2" />
<if condition="$show['foruminfo'] OR $show['threadinfo']">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] - $foruminfo[title_clean] - RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS2&amp;forumids=$foruminfo[forumid]" />

Change To:

Code:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] RSS Feed" href="http://yoursite.com/rss.php" />
<if condition="$show['foruminfo'] OR $show['threadinfo']">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] - $foruminfo[title_clean] - RSS Feed" href="http://yoursite.com/rss.php" />

(Don't forget to edit both instances of "http://yoursite.com/rss.php" to the correct path)

You can see how it's incorporated at my website, http://gridironfans.com/

Not something that would have a screenshot though.

its a bookmark?

No, all it does is change external.php so instead of your site pumping out a default RSS feed for the entire site it pumps out a RSS feed for one specific news feed.

I am a bit stumped with the first part, when you say : Create a file called rss.php and add this to the file:

Quote:

<?
header("Location: http://yoursite.com/forum_feed_address");
?>

That is a simple redirect script.

Is there something I am missing here?

How can we set it so the default forumid (like 109 in your case) will be changed as per forum we are viewing?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
