Adding RSS and other options to Forum home page.
Mod Version: 1.3, by KID_1194

Dear everyone,

This modification adds an RSS + New post + Newthread next to each forum shown in the main page "Home".

Now lets see how we can do that ...!

First .. the only template that we are going to edit is "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" ..

So we open the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template of the style that we want to add these options to !

We search for this line code
And then we add this code directly under it
If you want to exclude these options in some forums, you can add the code with a condition
on the top of the code, instead of x put the number of the forum (forumid).

At the end upload the attached icons to the misc folder which is inside images folder

This is what its going to look like


** To hide the Newthread and New post icons from visitors and leave the Rss feed icon only
check this post

Works like a charm only thing I added in before your code was <if condition="$show['member']"></if>, so that it shows only when a user is logged in. Otherwise when they click on the "New Posts" icon it always says there is none available (since there is no record of posts the person previously looked at while not signed in)

thats a great add ... thaks a lot

you can also add it for the new thread .. so the code will be like this

PHP Code:

<!--  San3a.Com Mod -->
<if condition="!in_array($forumid, array(x,x,x,x))">
<table align="right" border="0">
    <tr>
        <if condition="$show['member']">
        <td width="15">
            <a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">
                <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/newthread.png" border="0" width="14" height="14" hspace="0" alt="New thread" align="left" /></a>
        </td>
        <td width="15">
            <a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&amp;f=$forum[forumid]">
                <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/newposts.png" border="0" width="14" height="14" hspace="0" alt="New posts" align="left" /></a>
        </td>
        </if>
        <td width="15">
        <a target="_blank" href="external.php?type=RSS2&amp;forumids=$forum[forumid]">
        <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/rss_rss.gif" border="0" width="14" height="14" hspace="0" alt="Rss feed" align="left" /></a>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
</if>
<!-- / San3a.Com Mod -->
