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.

I don't see why it would require a plugin. But then what do I know? hehe.

This mod seems a bit incomplete without it.

This is nice. Thanks.

Live demo at my forum, too.

I love this, make me feel as if my forum is "changing with the times."

It is so edgy!

thanks.

Would it not hurt for key word density to add as follows so the forum title is in the alt tag? Coding is not my thing but I have to mod so many mods I thought this might help.... alt="RSS Feed for $forum[title]"

Code:

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

Working on my forum. Hold the mouse pointer over the rss image and see what is shown. You may even want to put in $forum[description] if that works...

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