This nifty little utility will present a list of all of your forums RSS feeds on one page! Your users can then easily pick & choose which forums they want to subscribe to via RSS, Google, Yahoo, or Bloglines.
Ever go to a big site like CNN and view their page of RSS feeds that you can subscribe to? This is the same thing but for your vBulletin forums!
In addition to your users, the search engine spiders will love this!
We went out of our way to make sure that this CinVin vBulletin add-on was quick & easy to both install and modify!
Automatically adds an RSS button to your footer template.
Correctly shows where your visitors are when viewing the Who's Online page.

Ability to specify which usergroup to use for permissions when viewing the list of forums.

All options are configured through the vBulletin ACP.
All descriptions and names are completely phrased so you can quickly add alternate lanquages or change the existing wording.
All display output is handled through vBulletin templates so you can quickly change the output appearance.
All templates and phrase are installed as a vBulletin product through your ACP which means there are no file edits!
Debug mode to help you with any problems you may be having.
Installation only take a few moments...
Unzip the .zip file that you downloaded.
Upload the single PHP file and single folder in the upload_to_your_forum_folder folder from the download to your forums folder.

FAQ's
- What vB versions? This should work with all versions of vB 3.6.x and above. It should also work with vB 3.5.x but I have not tested it on that version.
- Can I remove the "CinVin" text at the very bottom? NO! Believe it or not that little text is what allows us to work on hacks like this for free and, more importantly, to continue to support them. You are free to move the notice to your footer template, for example, if you would like to keep your notices all together but for removing it entirely a Branding Free license is available through CinVin.

my forum only got ONE rss-feed-link and not a feed for every (sub)forum.
where is my misstake?!?
thank you!
Author seems to have stopped supporting. He's not supporting in his own forum either. I think it would be best if there were a troubleshooting type guide or something. Every problem seems to be the same. Either the feeds aren't showing, or topics don't show.
Hello I have installed this mod and is working fine for me; am really glad to have such a beautiful and important mod. I am getting a little problem and it is that i have integrated another mod for downloading softwares in my forum "DownloadsII 5.0.6 by CyberRanger & Jelle" but the rss feeds are not including this mod.
Is there any way that it also include list of software categories and softwares inside it; that will be really helpful in boosting in SEO.
Thanks
Perhaps you can Install the Addon that Posts a New Thread when a New File is Added!!
You Can Find that Addon in the Same Page as the DownloadsII Mod Page!!
Good way to Opganize the External RSS Syndication!!
I haven't used that Functionality in my Forums Before, and was wondering if the vBulletin Forums had it!!
One Question:
How can I Control the Time to Refresh the External RSS Results for the Forums??
I can See that this Information isn't Refreshed every time a Post is made, so I deduce there's a Time between every Refresh!! How can I know that Time and How can I set it??
One Post Made by a User that Asks this Same Question:

(I think is important to Specify in the Instructions that the "External RSS Syndication" option should be Set to "Yes" to Start obtaining Results with the external.php Script, I noticed that Thabks to the Debug Mode you've provided with this Mod (Very Useful)).
My Best Regards!!
Edit:
I'll try the Option "Cache Lifespan", in the Same Location where you should set to "Yes" the "Enable RSS Syndication" option:
Quote:
Cache Lifespan
This setting controls how long thread content will be cached (in minutes). Valid settings are 1 to 1440, anything else will be treated as the default value of 60. The higher this value is, the less resources will be used by the External Data Provider system.
I noticed that the external.php detects Only New Threads and Not the Update of them; is there an Option for this Hack and/or the external.php (External RSS) to Detect the Update of the Threads and Report it on the external.php Results?? (Perhaps the Last Post, and/or the same First Post but of the Updated Threads)!!
