Re: data Feeds added to dnforum.com

Adam, I just went to syndicate dnforum at one site of mine, saw the output your feed creates, and I highly suggest installing the rss modification hack found here:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=65832

The code modifications make a simple change to external.php to explode a list of child forums in addition to some quick template changes to provide a common button for users to click to see the RSS feed.

1) at the Forum Home level, the xml link when clicked, produces an RSS feed for all threads in all forums. No changes made to external.php for this to work.

2) at the Sub-Forum level, the xml link when clicked, produces an RSS feed for all threads in the listed sub-forums. external.php is changed to explode the list of child forums.

3) at the Forum level, the xml link when clicked, produces an RSS feed only to threads in the that forum. No changes made to external.php for this to work.

Please take this advice and allow syndication of particular forums at the child level. The way it is now, I have to syndicate all posts and cant specify what forum I want.

Thanks a lot!
