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.
Forums can be specifically excluded from being listed.
Ability to specify which usergroup to use for permissions when viewing the list of forums.
"Link" forums can be turned off from showing.
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.
Go into your ACP and select Plugins & Products => Manage Products => Add/Import Product => {Select the CinVin_vB_Forum_Feed_Listing.xml file from the download} => Import
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.

I wouldn't think it'd make a difference but that's the only thing so far I'm finding. Cocko, do you have vBSEO on your site as well? I can't view your site from work so I can't check myself right now.

serveral hacks installed but there is no vbseo on my forum.
i.e. CMPS 2.2.1 ==> forum.php (was index.php)
Edit: maybe a hint: cmps box forumlist does not work propperly (don't know why)
Edit #2: v1.0.2 is running ! (just even have seen this version)
But I'm not seeing all of my forums listed. I know the RSS feeds are listed there....but it's not actually showing the names of the forums for the feeds.
Also, are we to make our own navbar links or was this suppose to place the link automatically?
Smoknz28, I can't view the link. When I try to view it as a guest I get a error message redirecting me to a "Please donate..." page.
No, it won't build the navbar link automatically. I'm not a big fan of products/plugins that try to change stuff in the templates but if enough people want it I'll put it on the To Do list for a future revision.
I upgraded to the latest version and now clicking on the RSS links in FF do nothing. Just take me to the top of the page. In IE, it just takes me to the forums, not the .xml output.

Are you sure you uploaded all of the files, in particular the PHP file? I just took a look at your link and your descriptions still have HTML in them which means the PHP file is version 1.0.1 or older (in version 1.0.2 stripping the HTML from the descriptions is default).
