I've got a question, I've got forum (closed for new post) with sub-forums wich contains all the post.
I would like that RSS icon on forum home syndicate for all subforum containing.

Exemple: forum id1 containing subforum 2, 3 et 5. The feed will be : http://www.myvbulletin.com/forum/ext...forumids=2,3,5

Regards

I could use this too, I can't find a variable that lists each subforum id though. I don't understand why vbulletin didn't make it so each category had a feed of it's own.

Change the X to the forum id you want it to display on, and of course put the rss icon code in place of "rss code"

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 'X'">RSS code</if>

I'm surprise too but it seems to be not possible

I've installed this mod per the instructions but the RSS icon is not showing up. I confirmed the image is in the right place and pasted the code verbatim into the template. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Are you using TfSEO? Make sure your edits are correctly done. I did all the edits and yet I still get this blank page :S

go into the vb options and then find the rss options and set them all to yes. Also, I had to add the code to forumhome_forumbit_level1_post, it depends on how your forum is setup though.

Intalled on my 3.7.2 board and seems ok, but i have just an issue:

when i click on the RSS icon for any category using IE7 i can see the right RSS string, but when i click the same icon for same category into FireFox i get:

<br /><strong>Warning</strong>: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in <strong>[path]/includes/class_postbit_alt.php(468) : eval()'d code</strong> on line <strong>29</strong><br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Any suggestion?, pls help...

[Elpie]

This is working really well for me on 3.7.2 EXCEPT for some forums. My forum is set up as UTF-8 and we have some forums in other languages. English is the main language and is the forum default. Feeds are not being generated from the foreign language boards. Any idea why?

Thank You

In the feeds i can't see the images that are posted inside the thread

I mean only the text portion is avilable while the links to images comes not the images

Any help for that ??
