This mod will trigger autodiscovery in news aggregators that support autodiscovery (most do). What does this mean?

Let's say you have a news aggregator, like Newz Crawler installed. If you visit a site with this 'mod' installed, Newz Crawler automatically discovers your RSS feed and will allow you to simply add it as a news source.

Here's how to install it:

In AdminCP, in the headinclude, find (usually about 3-4 lines from the top):
Code:
<meta name="description" content="$vboptions[description]" />
add the following below:
Code:
<if condition="$vboptions[externalrss]">
<link rel="alternate" href="$vboptions[bburl]/external.php?type=RSS2" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] RSS Feed" type="application/rss+xml" />
</if>
That's it. Simple.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Demo - turn on your autodiscovering news reader before visiting http://www.efhs84.com/

update - changed feed type to RSS2.
