RSS Feed

Anyone know how to set up a RSS feed from TotalCoD4 to a clan website? Is it allowed? I want to set it up so news automatically posts on the front page of vBadvanced.

Re: RSS Feed

Login to your vbulletin admin control panel, scroll down to RSS Feeds.
Click on Add New RSS Feed.
In URL Feed add:

http://www.totalgamingnetwork.com/main/external.php?forumids=397

Put a valid forum user account in under User Name:
I would suggest created a new user with regular registered user permissions, turn off it's PMs, and other forms of communication for the special user and call it PUTNAMEHEREbot
Then under forum add a forum that you have setup to show on the front page of your site through vbadvanced.

Brilliant, thanks.

But is this normal? ----

Only shows a couple of lines then redirects here. It also doesn't format correctly... :/

Compare:

Re: RSS Feed

What Feed link are you using for FPS Admin?

I'm not using FPS Admin. The RSS link is the one you gave me :/

Change your body template to

[noparse]

{feed:content:encoded}

[url={feed:link}]More...[/url]
[/noparse]

Re: RSS Feed

No mention anywhere on the site that the news is being fed from Total Call of Duty?

Re: RSS Feed

I changed the name of the bot to reflect your site. They all know where it's coming from anyway :P we were discussing it on TS.

I'm yet to make a links box but don't worry. You'll be there :)
