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.

Hi All, I have an RSS feed for the total board: http://www.physiobob.com/forum/external.php?type=rss2
I would like to be able to exclude one forum from this total feed which combines all new posts from all areas. I would also like to be able to put a post date and time with each feed and the username of the poster. Can anyone assist with how I might accomplish to above Many thanks ![]() No members have liked this post.

I installed this on two forums today and it works perfectly. Thanks Wayne! I added Shane's tweak to remove the image border and also changed the <td> class to "vbmenu_control" so that it matched the Forum Search and Thread Tools boxes a bit better...

This question was asked before but did not see answer...
Is is possible to pull and sort threads by the latest post, not the thread creation date? One of my most popular threads is not showing up on the feed because it was started few month back. How can I get it to show up? Thanks. Version 3.6.8 Patch2 No members have liked this post.

To change that one, scroll down in Headinclude to:

That adds the last post sort directly to the RSS icon of each forum. To add it to the icon placed in each forum by this particular hack, go to the FORUMDISPLAY template, find:

That will add the last post sort to the icon added by this hack. Dexter... No members have liked this post.

HI guys, this RSS feed mod is still working well in 3.7.3 which is great
I have an old question and am wondering if someone has any idea. By default vbulletin uses /forum/external.php to generate the RSS feed for the entire site. I would like to use this to generate almost all of my sections but not ALL, e..g to leave out a few forum ID's but include the rest in an aggregated feed Does anyone know how to do this or can anyone suggest another URL where this is discussed. Being able to only search the board for more than 3 characters means searching for RSS isn't of much use Many thanks in anticipation ![]() No members have liked this post.

In Vb 3.5 - how can I add the alternate rss link into header include only for forums? Is there a conditional to say if is_forum ?
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] - $foruminfo[title_clean] - RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=$foruminfo[forumid]" ] No members have liked this post.
