What Does It Do?
Allows you to create a simple RSS feed for your DownloadsII database.
As this feed is XML it must be "well-formed" and "valid". Your feed will not work if there are errors such as if there is an & (instead of using & ) in the RSS feed etc...
DownloadsII Simple RSS Feed Add-On is not a standalone mod. It requires DownloadsII.
Live Demo
Click here to see a http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/downloads/feed/downloads_rss.php (Usually has errors as the files often have &'s in the descriptions)
Installation
1) Extract the archive.
2) Edit /upload/downloads_config.php and fill in your details.
3) Upload the files in the upload folder (downloads_config.php, downloads_rss.php)
4) Browse to http://www.your-site.co.uk/forum/downloads_rss.php to see it in action.
I'm sorry for how basic this is but my knowledge (especially when it comes to vB integration) is very limited.
I have also included a RSS button that you can use to spread the word for your feed.
