Show RSS Feed Icon in each forum
Developer Last Online: Oct 2023
So I wanted to add an image link to each forum for its unique RSS feed. This would allow people to subscribe to their favorite forums with their favorite News Reader instead of email. It would always be up to date and accurate.
There are three steps to doing this. First, I decided I needed a small plugin to determine if RSS was turned on within the forumdisplay template. Go to your plugin manager and add the following code to the "forumdisplay_start" plugin. PHP Code:
Find: HTML Code:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px"> <tr> <td class="tcat" width="100%">$vbphrase[threads_in_forum]<span class="normal"> : $foruminfo[title]</span></td> <td class="vbmenu_control" id="forumtools" nowrap="nowrap"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_forumtools" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[forum_tools]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("forumtools"); </script></td> <if condition="$show['forumsearch']"> <td class="vbmenu_control" id="forumsearch" nowrap="nowrap"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_forumsearch" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("forumsearch"); </script></td> </if> </tr> </table> HTML Code:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px"> <tr> <td class="tcat" width="100%">$vbphrase[threads_in_forum]<span class="normal"> : $foruminfo[title]</span></td> <td class="vbmenu_control" id="forumtools" nowrap="nowrap"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_forumtools" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[forum_tools]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("forumtools"); </script></td> <if condition="$show['forumsearch']"> <td class="vbmenu_control" id="forumsearch" nowrap="nowrap"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_forumsearch" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("forumsearch"); </script></td> </if> <if condition="$show['rss']"> <td class="tcat"><a href="external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$foruminfo[forumid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/feed_icon.png" height="14" width="14" alt="Feed Icon" title="Subscribe to $foruminfo[title]'s RSS Feed"></a></td> </if> </tr> </table> Distibuted under the "Wayne License".

I thought I'd installed this properly as most of it was just cutting and pasting. However, nothing looks any different in my forums. The external data provider settings show "yes" (enabled).
I'm wondering if its a matter of where the .png file is placed. I noted the following in the template code: <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/feed_icon.png" ..... Under my root forum directory is /images and about 15 subdirectories. Once is /misc (root/images/misc). I tried placing the .png file there as well as in its parent. Still no changes to the forums. What is the proper directory for the .png file. Also, is there anything else I might be missing (the instructions were pretty clear). Thanks. -- Rik |

Yes don't install the plugin, use only the template edit and change the if statement to <if condition="$vboptions['externalrss']"> ....
