**keithsan** · 01-20-2007, 05:38 AM

anyone have a quick link to setting up an rss feed to my forum currently i have none of those feeds.

TIA

what feed do you want ? Any feed that is respecting the rss rules can be imported in your forum.

actually I want put an RSS feed from my forums on my site so that othes can pick up or link the feed from my sites forums.

if that makes any sense.

the link to a vb forum rss feed is

Code:

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2

or if you have your forum installed like here

Code:

http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/extarnal.php?type=rss2

to have it as an icon you could include the code along this idea...

Code:

<A HREF="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2">
<IMG SRC="rss.gif" RSS></A>

RSS Feeds
Rather than visiting a series of Web pages every day, many Web users are installing RSS newsreaders and configuring them to pull RSS feeds. It's like having news delivered to your desktop!

Already set up for RSS? Configure your RSS newsreader software to point to the URL(s) below.

What is RSS?
As defined by WikipediaWikipedia, RSS (acronymic for Really Simple Syndication) is "a group of XML based web-content distribution and republication (Web syndication) formats primarily used by news sites and weblogs (blogs)." Essentially, an RSS feed is a hosted XML file from which your RSS newsreader pulls headlines, URLs, and other content as it is updated.

Need RSS software?
To get started, you'll need to download and install a free RSS newsreader client. Many are available (some as browser extensions); see Google's list hereGoogle's list of RSS client software.. Point your software to RSS feeds of interest, and you're done!

I need to do this as well, so I'm not a great example :p

but this is a great please to post a solid keyword rich description about your site and what it offers

*btw, your welcome to hit the "thanks" button on the post above*

**eric** · 01-21-2007, 10:21 AM

installed it on Aeroclix... simple and no errors for me.
Great link Brandon

**keithsan** · 01-21-2007, 12:51 PM

good idea brandon, I'll have to tweak it a little.

I'm looking for a way to add the page link to my site now.

I like your RSS links at the bottom of the forum page, have an edit?

Also gotta dig around for something to throw on my main page but that isn't on vbulletin but that part should be easy.

Thanks again all.

thanks for the link for bottom of the page. mInes not working just empty boxes, link works but no pictures. must've screwed up the path. Anyways thanks.

If you ever dig out that phrase let me know I'll try and figure out how to edit mine but I'm NO CODER.

**eric** · 01-23-2007, 03:58 AM

have you turned on the feeds in your admin options section ?
and the 'links' are related to usergroup setings for the forums. It follows the same rule set.

**keithsan** · 01-23-2007, 09:45 AM

Brandon gave a quick check to my feeds since i dont have a reader and said all was good.

So all these links i think are fine and should be available to anyone.

its the bottom of the page ones if you scroll down that i messed up on. anyways i'm on a slow puter right now and cant mess with it. will check out your suggestions in a few hours.

**Brandon Sheley** · 01-23-2007, 11:06 AM

looks god to me

**keithsan** · 01-23-2007, 11:24 AM

no silly, the bottom 4 supposed to be centered are missing icons.

but I'm actually stuck trying to take the feeds and create an xml sitemap.

I tried ror.com but it searches my whole site and I have over 1000 pages so it stops. I just want to put in the 10 or so feeds to RSS and xml them.

this has been more of a Pain in... than i expeted

**Brandon Sheley** · 01-23-2007, 12:20 PM

ah, you have the images uploaded to the wrong place

the vbseo sitemap will make your sitemap for you

Cool, was hoping that, I had dug around their threads but didn't ask, as I didn't buy vbseo I havent registered i just use the free sitemap.

**Brandon Sheley** · 01-23-2007, 06:58 PM

**Brandon Sheley** · 01-23-2007, 07:23 PM

/me is lost

**keithsan** · 01-24-2007, 05:58 AM

sorry i lost you. really no big deal. just got caught typing while thinking.
cant alter the post, just the quote. which on some of my longer argument threads could prove interesting is all.

I should've just shut my fingers up.

**keithsan** · 01-26-2007, 11:08 AM

(Regarding issue of bottom 4 rss feed logos showing up as blank boxes)

ANYONE?
ok brandon took your suggestion and double checked the folder my images are in. they are there, and the path is similar to those of other images in the same directory.

this is my path and all seems correct: I AM NO CODER but I can usually figure crap out. Anyone have any ideas.
<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/addyahoo.gif" alt="Add The Penny Stock Blog To Your Yahoo" height="15" width="80" border="0"></a>

Here is a similar path and all images are in same misc folder.

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" alt="$vbphrase[view_whos_online]" border="0" /></a

anyone if you have a sec please.

**eric** · 01-26-2007, 11:16 AM

see screenshot I just took, or am I completely next to the question ??

those are cool

I've had a problem putting the 4 feeds images, centered, at the bottom of every section.

the link is correct and the feed the image doesn't show, I've got something messed up in my path.

I have no coding knowledge and am working thru it. Using my main vb page as a test template..I'gotta be able to figure it out.

This threads getting long LOL

ADDDED HERE:

yeaaaaahhhh, put a feed list up on the main bb page weeeeeeeeeeeee

now that i've figured that out, will get back to the bottom 4 later, or maybe I'll just yank'em'out.

**Brandon Sheley** · 01-27-2007, 07:53 AM

it has to be that they are in the wrong style/image/ folder
