This hack creates an RSS feed for each social group. Each feed shows the last 20 posts (not just threads) from the desired social group.
How it works:
The feeds are generated by using the url, http://www.yoursite.com/groupfeed.php?groupid=ID, or clicking the RSS icon on each group's homepage. ID is the id number for the group.
RSS feeds are inaccessible for private groups.
What it involves:
Uploading a new file to your forums root directory.
Uploading an RSS icon to the images/misc folder.
Making a small template edit to show the RSS icon.
Caveats:
The RSS icon shows regardless of whether the group is private or not.
Requests:
I won't be supporting this hack. I'm hoping somebody with more vBulletin and programming experience than me can take what I've done, give it some solid testing and make it better. If you'd like to revamp it, be my guest.
How to install:
1. Upload the attached groupfeed.php file to your forums root directory;
2. Upload the attached RSS icon, feed-icon-24x24.png to the images/misc folder;
3. Go to Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Choose Edit Templates and click Go -> Double click Social Groups Templates -> Double click socialgroups_group ->Search in Template for <h1 id="group_name">.
