 Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2007 12:34 am Post subject: RSS Feed Question |
|
|
Ok, I know there has to be some way to do this.
What I want to do is make it so that when your on a specific forum, or a page inside that forum it will show that forums feed as well as the main feed.
If you have IE7 theres that RSS button that shows the RSS feeds on found on the page.
So when I go to the forum it will show just the main feed (rss.xml) but say I went into the "Announcements" forum in the feeds list it would show:
-Main Feed (rss.xml)
-Forum Feed (announcements-rf1.xml)
And even if you were like in a thread inside of that forum it would still show that forums feed.
Is there anyway of doing this?
Thanks  |

If you add tags like these to the generated header, IE and Firefox will pick up the RSS feeds.
| Code: | <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="YourForum Forums [RSS]" href="http://www.yourforum.com/forums/rss.xml">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="YourForum.com - AAA Forum [RSS]" href="http://www.yourforum.com/forums/aaa-rf42.xml"><title>YourForum.com - AAA</title> |

Ya, I have already did that for the main feed, but I was wondering if there was a code to automate it to do what I said in the first post |

Open overall_header.tpl, find:
| Code: | | <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"> |
Insert after:
Open viewforum.php, find:
| Code: | //
// Dump out the page header and load viewforum template
// |
Insert before:
| Code: | $template->assign_vars(array(
'FORUM_RSS' => '<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="' . $board_config['sitename'] . ' - ' . $forum_row['forum_name'] . ' Forum [RSS]" href="' . $phpbb_seo->seo_path['phpbb_url'] . $phpbb_seo->format_url($forum_row['forum_name'], '') . '-rf' . $forum_id . '.xml">')
); |
The '-rf' should probably be $phpbb_seo->seo_delim['forum_rss'] but I was in a rush when I wrote it. You could make a similar change to viewtopic.php to have the forum RSS available, but I didn't bother. |

Nearly the same code. Open viewtopic.php, find:
| Code: | //
// Output page header
// |
Insert after:
| Code: | $template->assign_vars(array(
'FORUM_RSS' => '<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="' . $board_config['sitename'] . ' - ' . $forum_name . ' Forum [RSS]" href="' . $phpbb_seo->seo_path['phpbb_url'] . $phpbb_seo->format_url($forum_name, '') . '-rf' . $forum_id . '.xml">')
); |
Why this isn't part of the RSS MOD is a mystery only dcz understands.  |

Please put together an add on
Anyway, I'm currently working on the next version of gym sitemaps, and it will come with an auto link mod this time, it's only I never had time to work on a working for all cases solution (it's not this obvious with the several type of rewriting available, and I as well wanted to make a general solution for Google sitemaps, rss and html sitemaps).

| This is way better than the way I did it. I just typed in the HTML to the feed in the forum's description. But I had to do it for each one, and it was a pain. |

Hello,
I attempted to add the code given above to add the RSS feed notification to my viewforum.php and viewtopic.php files as quoted, but I would winf up with an error in each like the one here:
| Code: | | Fatal error: Call to a member function format_url() on a non-object in /home/.rugrat/stlscooterforum/stlscooterforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php on line 582 |
I did try replacing the '-rf- as suggested, and also got an error.
I know really nothing about PHP programming, so am I making a rookie mistake here or something?
my site is:
www.stlscooterforum.com
phpBB is installed in:
www.stlscooterforum.com/forum/
rss.php/sitemap.php/urllist.php are installed in the root.
I think everything is working OK, I just want the RSS "indicator" in IE7, etc to be live.
Thanks! |

So, you should proceed as follow.
First, use :
| Quote: | $template->assign_vars(array(
'FORUM_RSS' => '<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="' . $board_config['sitename'] . ' - ' . $forum_name . ' Forum [RSS]" href="http://www.example.com/phpbb/' . format_url($forum_name, 'forum') . '-rf' . $forum_id . '.xml">')
); |
Instead of the above code. You'll need to hard code your real forum url (I know it's not the prettiest way, but it's simple) and then, add :
| Code: | /**
* Prepare Titles for URL injection
*/
function format_url( $url, $type = 'topic' ) {
$url = preg_replace("`\[.*\]`U","",$url);
$url = preg_replace('`&(amp;)?#?[a-z0-9]+;`i','-',$url);
$url = htmlentities($url, ENT_COMPAT);
$url = preg_replace( "`&([a-z])(acute|uml|circ|grave|ring|cedil|slash|tilde|caron|lig);`i","\\1", $url );
$url = preg_replace( array("`[^a-z0-9]`i","`[-]+`") , "-", $url);
$url = ( $url == "" ) ? $type : strtolower(trim($url, '-'));
return $url;
} |
At the end of your includes/functions.php file and ti should be ok.
