Link to Mod

A new version of my unsuccessful mod is here, fully working. This mod simply ads 2 RSS buttons before each board name, this was created by someone based on my first idea. This is much better because in this version you get 2 buttons, one for RSS and one for quick add to Feed Mailer. Then coming soon will be add-ons for Google Reader and yahoo etc.

Works with RC 1.1 RC2

Please let me know if it works with others.

Do we have to uninstall the previous RSS mod?

There is no way at the moment to exclude certain boards.

Yes, where?

Anyway, is it possible to add the THIS mod also to sub-boards?

Not working for me.  I'm using 1.1.3 with TinyPortal and custom theme.  I copied the gif images into the theme /images folder, and still nada.

Am I missing something obvious?

I mentioned having already done that in my post.

I had to manually modify the BoardIndex.template.php file.  I'm assuming some custom themes this works with automatically, and some it doesn't?  I'm using Scribbles 2.  Anyhoo.. got it working.

How do I add this for the child boards?

Excellent MOD. I am using not using the default theme so had to amend the BoardIndex.template.php file. I changed:

echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/off.gif" alt="', $txt[334], '" title="', $txt[334], '" />';

                echo '</a>
                </td>
                <td class="windowbg2">


to:

echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/off.gif" alt="', $txt[334], '" title="', $txt[334], '" />';

                echo '</a>
                </td>
                <td class="windowbg2">
                    <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=.xml;sa=recent;board=', $board['id'], ';limit=10;type=rss2"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/rss.gif" /></a> <a href="hxxp:www.feedmailer.net/feedmanager?action=add&url=' [nonactive];, $scripturl, '?action=.xml;sa=recent;board=', $board['id'], ';limit=10;type=rss2"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/rss_feedmailer.gif" />

Added code is in red. Worked this out by finding the image rss.gif in the default theme which was changed during package install.



Edit: Forgot to say I am using 1.1.3 and all working ok

Great mod...

I have the mod installed ok and it works in IE7 fine but when clicking the rss buttons in IE6 it downloads a file called index.php and its php code with xml.

I have it installed on 1.1.4 board

Any ideas on how to fix this to work for IE6 users as well?

Thanks

Copied the images to my theme, and treid to edit the BoardIndex.template.php, but after that I get a "unable to load main Theme". So could please some of you cracks take a look and guide me?
