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.

With my site setup this works half the time. If you visit my overall index you see them:

http://gridironfans.com/forums/index.php

But when you go to sub-forums you don't:

http://gridironfans.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=93
http://gridironfans.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=94
http://gridironfans.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=99
http://gridironfans.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=90
http://gridironfans.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=90
http://gridironfans.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=155

Also, I noticed any restricted forums end up with a blank page when you click on the icon. Is there a way to allow the feed for restricted forums for people with access?

SBlueman in "forumhome_forumbit_level1_post" template search for

Quote:

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

Add above:

Ok, did that.....but now the new post column is off....the background color is not there.

I just get a white page with nothing on it? And can you add the subforums trick to the mod as that make it complete.

EDIT: I found out this RSS feeds only work in public forums. Does anyone know a way to show non-public forums?

Thanks,
