Show RSS Feed Icon in each forum
![]() Developer Last Online: Jan 2021 ![]() ![]() ![]() This modification is in the archives.
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.
Next we will be editing the forumdisplay template itself. Find:
And replace with:
Finally the third step is to upload the attached image to represent your feed. If your site isn't set up to allow IE to view transparent backgrounds in PNG images, you will probably want to convert the image to a GIF format matted to your background.

Post your forumdisplay template so I can look at it and verify that the plugin is installed under "forumdisplay_start". Do you have any other plugins installed under "forumdisplay_start"?

Wayne,
Would the condition "<if condition="$vboptions['externalrss']">{code}</if>" work instead of using the plugin?

I would have to look at your AdminCP to get it working at this point though.

You need to create a plugin called "forumdisplay_start", this is what I created and it seems to work:
Admincp>Plugin system> Add New Plugin Product: vBulletin Hook location: forumdisplay_start Title: "Check for RSS on/off for RSS feed icon on each forum" Plugin Php Code:
Active: Yes And then click on save. No members have liked this post.

Wayne,
I´ve tried to put this in the forums tools menu but for some reason it creates only the basic information of my forums - but no threadinfo´s.
I´m using this in the forums menu (extended to rss 0,91, 2.0 and rdf-feeds)
Do I have to place the initial plugin elsewhere as in forumsdisplay_start if I´ld like to place this in the forum menu? Any idea ? No members have liked this post.
