RSS Feeds,, RSS1,2 and XML.... forums

[BigJohnny]

Ok so ive got the RSS system pretty well figured out now, but im having one small issue.

Im using cinvins forum feed listings which is working absolutly great.

But i want to give the users the ability to choose between RSS 1, RSS 2, and XML feeds, instead of just RSS2.

This works fine if i add ?type=RSS1/RSS2/XML to external.php.

the problem comes into play with the individual forum feeds.

i cant use this
external.php?forumids=15?type=RSS2

OR

external.php?type=RSS?forumids=15

So is there something i can do to enable the choosing of formats for the specific forums?

Try changing your URLs.

external.php?forumids=15&type=RSS2

The question mark goes before the first variable only. then after that you use ampersand.

You use the HTML code & in templates. You can use just & in the address bar of your browser though.

ahh thanks

seems the xml feed isnt valid though.... it has a problem with <source>

its missing a parameter when vb generates it or something... i dont even know where id even begin to look to fix that lol.

The feed seems to display and parse fine for me in FF on the forum in your signature.

Is that what you meant?

thats the site, but i reverted my changes, until i get some better button images.

the ampersand works a charm though from what i see in my browser, it does seem to be 3 different feeds.

i just need an rss reader that seperates them, vbulletin spits out both a description tag and a content:encoded tag, and my current reader automatically uses content:encoded if it is available.

As for the XML feed, it keeps telling me it isnt a valid feed, then takes me to feed validator, and the validator tells me there is a problem with the <source> tag in the xml.
