Hi all,

Please can someone show me how to edit the header of snitz so that I can publish Feeds in IE7. I see someone implemented this here recently....

Yeah, I have the RSS mod installed and working great. What I would like to do is implement the IE7 / Firefox support.
Code:
I think I have to add a line with something like:
Response.Write	"<link rel=""alternate"" type=""application/rss+xml"" href=""http://www.mydomain.com/forum/rssfeed.asp"" title=""Active Topics on Forums"">" & vbNewline
<

Nickw, check my inc_header.asp: http://oxle.com/source.asp?page=inc_header.asp (user demo/demo)
It has this feature implemented.<

OK, I am more confused now that before :) That looks like some impressive code :)

We have the default inc_header.asp file. What I would really like is a dynamic RSS feed that changes depending on the forum you are viewing. Is this possible?<

For the moment, to make it simple, I can see that this forum as this code added just below the licence:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="http://forum.snitz.com/forum/rssfeed.asp" title="Active Topics on Snitz Forums 2000">

So, how can I add a simular line to our forums?<

I never was able to get any of my RSS readers to pick it up...
Funny thing is that the one built in to Maxthon picks up the Snitz RSS, but not the Oxle or the one I set up internally.... same syntax and all.
nickw, it is possible to have a different feed for each forum. It appears MarcelG has it set up that way on Oxle. The main thing is that he's generating essentially the same code you posted above... just having it modified depending on where you are and such.<

Its odd, I also have this same issue. Oxle does not show, but the one here does... Mind you, I cannot get either to work on my forum :(<

I wonder if the RSS version is at issue here. I just took a closer look and noticed that the Snitz RSS feed is <rss version="0.92"> and mine is <rss version="2.0">

I can manually add the feed to my reader and all is good, it just doesn't get picked up automatically. Since it hasn't been a high priority at the moment, I haven't really thought too much about it; but since we've got some people ready to look at it... wink<

Anything is possible. For the moment I have added another menu item to the default linking to the feed. I really wish I was a coder then I could write a Mod :)

Until then... I'll have to wait for you clever lot :)<
