RSS icon mod addition
Alluded to above, but not stated, is how to add a RSS (or XML) icon so people know you have this feature. You can COPY (but
NOT link

) my rss.png icon file for this (and see a demo of it in action) at
http://www.yosemite.ca.us/forum/
Here's the mod revison:
Code: Select all
#
#-----[ COPY ]------------------------------------------
#
copy rss.png to templates/subSilver/images/rss.png
#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
templates/subSilver/overall_header.tpl
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
# NOTE - This is a partial match, the whole line on a fresh phpBB installation looks like this:
#
# <a href="{U_FAQ}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_faq.png" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_FAQ}" hspace="3" />{L_FAQ}</a> <a href="{U_SEARCH}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_search.png" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_SEARCH}" hspace="3" />{L_SEARCH}</a> <a href="{U_MEMBERLIST}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_members.png" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_MEMBERLIST}" hspace="3" />{L_MEMBERLIST}</a> <a href="{U_GROUP_CP}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_groups.png" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_USERGROUPS}" hspace="3" />{L_USERGROUPS}</a>
#
#
{L_FAQ}
#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]------------------------------------------ #
#
#-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
<a href="rss.php" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/rss.png" alt="RSS feed for phpBB" width="36" height="14" border="0" /></a>

RSS icon fix
If you want one of those nifty RSS icons in the address bar, add this to files templates/subSilver/overall_header.tpl and simple_header.tpl, after the <title> tag:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
title="RSS" href="
http://www.foobar.com/phpBB/rss.php" />
Change
www.foobar.com/phpBB to your website and phpBB installation directory.
Security Fix
Security fix mentioned above is real simple. Just edit file rss.php and change the only occurrence of f.auth_view to f.auth_read. It's around line 145
