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.

Is there a way to modify the RSS feed so it displays threads in order of most recent new post, rather than most recently created (so that it resembles the results of a "New Posts" search, rather than just being a list of threads sorted by creation date)?

My issue is not with the hack, but with vB's RSS generation script. Let's say I have 5 threads, one of them started 2 days ago, the rest started today. Even if the most recent post on the forum is to teh thread starte 2 days ago, the other 4 threads are what show up first in the RSS feed because it sorts by creation time not time of most recent post. Is there any way to alter this (without adding too many queries)? No members have liked this post.

What do I need to change to get the RSS feed icon to show up on the forums (sub-forums really) and NOT show up on the category forums? Mark No members have liked this post.
