[RFC] Option for RSS icons in Prosilver

[aleha]

I would like to know if you find it a good idea to have an option for showing RSS icons in prosilver, per forum/category etc.

An example can be found in the Supernova style, here.

I am talking for an option instead of this to be always enabled but that's debatable.

What you can do is to remove the comments of these files for show rss in the forum.

forumlist_body.html

Code: Select all

						<!-- IF S_ENABLE_FEEDS and forumrow.S_FEED_ENABLED --><!-- <a class="feed-icon-forum" title="{L_FEED} - {forumrow.FORUM_NAME}" href="{U_FEED}?f={forumrow.FORUM_ID}"><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/feed.gif" alt="{L_FEED} - {forumrow.FORUM_NAME}" /></a> --><!-- ENDIF -->

with this:

Code: Select all

						<!-- IF S_ENABLE_FEEDS and forumrow.S_FEED_ENABLED --><a class="feed-icon-forum" title="{L_FEED} - {forumrow.FORUM_NAME}" href="{U_FEED}?f={forumrow.FORUM_ID}"><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/feed.gif" alt="{L_FEED} - {forumrow.FORUM_NAME}" /></a><!-- ENDIF -->

Not is if that you mean

Yes, that is what I have seen in other styles. The option that you give exists in prosilver both in 3.0.12 and 3.1-a1.
Am I missing an option for this in UCP or ACP else why is this in a comment block?

edit: Is there thought for an option for an icon for the forum feed? Like a big icon under the search bar or smth like that.

There is no option, presumably because it is not generally accepted to have RSS feed icons on pages and instead the browser RSS integration should be used to detect and subscribe to these feeds. Another reason might be possible server load issues. Not sure that there are a lot of people desiring to enable this either.

To me RSS icons on a forum would look unsightly/ugly in general but that's just my opinion.

Agreed. One icon in the header - maybe (if at all). Not a bunch of them for each board. This would be better as an extension.

I can't say that I disagree with you so if there is no use for this code then it's dead code.
Maybe there could be an rss icon in the footer.
