New Posting Features - Adding RSS next to forum title

Dear everyone,

This modification is to add rss feed next to the forum title ...

The previous modification was Adding RSS and other options to Forum home page which I've posted before but my friend Ghostt gave me the idea of putting only 1 rss feed for all the forums in that section.

Lets see how it should be done ...

First, we go to Admincp --> Styles & Templates --> Style Manager --> Choose the style --> Edit templates --> Go

Then edit forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template only ....

Search for

PHP Code:

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


Add next to it

PHP Code:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/rss_rss.gif" border="0" width="14" height="14" hspace="0" alt="Rss feed" /></a> 


----------------
Update: 1.1
If you want to exclude the code in some forms .. you can add this code instead

PHP Code:

<if condition="!in_array($forumid, array(x,x,x,x))"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/rss_rss.gif" border="0" width="14" height="14" hspace="0" alt="Rss feed" /></a></if> 


Instead of x .. put the category ids ...
----------------



Then go to Admincp --> Forums & Moderators --> Forum Manager --> Select Main Category --> Edit forum --> Go

Add next to the name this code

PHP Code:

&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=1,2,3"> 


instead of 1,2,3 put the forumids that is under the main category

The result is


Dont forget to upload the rss icon in to images --> misc

I'm trying to make it and Add-on!

Best regards

Thnx a lot .. but as u said .. it should be manually.
I have tried to make it an add-on .. but the proplem is that not all the forums in the same category will have the same option number .. it depands on the admin himself ..!

Yes .. you can exclude it from some forums !!

just use this code

PHP Code:

<if condition="!in_array($forumid, array(x,x,x,x))"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/rss_rss.gif" border="0" width="14" height="14" hspace="0" alt="Rss feed" /></a></if> 


instead of x ... put the category ids ..

Best regards

tried this out on my forum didnt really work and i kind of realised that the rss image actually has no url so how would that work ?

Editing as above only directs me to that particular category and forums. Shoudnt there be some sort of link such as

<a target="_blank" href="external.php?type=RSS2&amp;forumids=$forum[forumid]">]

Im not really sure just verifying here perhaps i didnt do it right :S

It works but when you click on main category it shows you a listing of all the other categories everything highlighted
