here is solution for rss2 with vbulletion 3.5

example feed: http://www.wranglerforum.com/external.php?type=rss2

go to your publisher home, click ad setup, rss ad layout.

publisher platform: moveable type
type in your url and generate rss ad code

you will get the following code:

<![CDATA[<!-- begin(Yahoo ad) --><a href="http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/32061/<$MTEntryID$>/click/"><img src="http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/32061/<$MTEntryID$>/img/?url=<$MTEntryLink encode_xml="1"$>&amp;pid=1972918117" alt="Ads by Yahoo!" border="0"/></a><!-- end(Yahoo ad) -->]]>

copy from the "<!-- begin" to the "end(yahoo ad) -->"

you should now have this

<!-- begin(Yahoo ad) --><a href="http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/32061/<$MTEntryID$>/click/"><img src="http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/32061/<$MTEntryID$>/img/?url=<$MTEntryLink encode_xml="1"$>&amp;pid=1972918117" alt="Ads by Yahoo!" border="0"/></a><!-- end(Yahoo ad) -->

now to edit our feed code, change all instances of <$MTEntryID$> to "1" and <$mtEntryLink ecode_xml="1"$> to " http3A%2F%2Fwww.Yoururl.com%2F%3Fp%3D2 "

now escape all quotes in the string with \

You should end up with something like this:

<!-- begin(Yahoo ad) --><a href=\"http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/32009/1/click/\">
<img src=\"http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/32009/1/img/?url=http3A%2F%2Fwww.dropfeed.com%2F%3Fp%3D2&amp;pid=1972918117\" alt=\"Ads by Yahoo!\" border=\"0\"/></a><!-- end(Yahoo ad) -->

vbulletin code change...

open external.php

find the following code:

case 'RSS2':
					echo "\r\n\t<item>\r\n";
					echo "\t\t<title>$thread[title]</title>\r\n";
					echo "\t\t<link>" . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]&amp;goto=newpost</link>\r\n";
					echo "\t\t<pubDate>" . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', $thread['dateline']) . " GMT</pubDate>\r\n";

replace next echo line with this ( the code between the "<!-- begin" to the "end(yahoo ad) -->" should be the code you generate for yourself from above)

echo "\t\t<description><![CDATA[". htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbcode($thread['preview'], false, true), $vbulletin->options['threadpreview'])) ."<!-- begin(Yahoo ad) --><a href=\"http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/32009/1/click/\">
<img src=\"http://ypn-rss.overture.com/rss/32009/1/img/?url=http3A%2F%2Fwww.dropfeed.com%2F%3Fp%3D2&amp;pid=1972918117\" alt=\"Ads by Yahoo!\" border=\"0\"/></a><!-- end(Yahoo ad) --> ]]></description>\r\n";

save and close.

your feed should now be display a yahoo ad in body of your rss feed.

I will be working up additional implementation this week for rss 1.0 and rss .xx

Wow, that sure sounds tedious and complex. Am wondering why YPN makes its impementaton so difficult?

 

[abstracthosting]

it doesnt really support anything but wordpress and moveabletype blogs right now as far as their interface is concerned, so you have to do the workaround.

Hey,

Thank you for the update.
Yes I did receive your explanation via pm as we have been going through this over the last few weeks.

From what I understand it seems the ad will only show up in an RSS aggregator or RSS reader that someone may be using.

I will send you an update via PM tommorrow.

Thanks again for all your help.

Anyone know how to do this working for vbulletin version 3.6?

Free exclusive membership as a reward.

Thank you
