My VBulletin specs: 3.7.2 Patch Level 1


At the top of my forum sections I would like to post an announcement with an RSS feed inside of it. The feeds will be coming from my Amazon and Ebay affiliate accounts. Each feed will be customized to the topic of the forum it is in.

The feeds work in simple HTML test pages and a wordpress page, but the code will not work in the VB announcements page - and yes, the "Allow HTML" radio button is checked.

Awhile back I tried to display google adsense in the announcements pages and it would not work either.

Here is one of the feeds from amazon, its pulls up certain books - http://www.amazon.com/rss/tag/survival/popular/?tag=survivaldiscu-20

That feeds is being converted into a javascript by this site http://itde.vccs.edu/rss2js/build.php And here is an example of the code I am using.


<script language="JavaScript" src="http://itde.vccs.edu/rss2js/feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Frss% 2Ftag%2Fsurvival%2Fpopular%2F%3Ftag%3Dsurvivaldisc u-20&chan=n&num=10&desc=1&date=y&targ=y" type="text/javascript"></script>But, if I use the javascript for the VB external data provider, it works fine. Is the announcements page picky about the types of scripts it runs? How do I fix this so the scripts can run??

Sorry, there is no function to do this. This requires modifying the code. We cannot officially support code modifications or forums running modified code, however you can try searching or asking for help with this over at www.vbulletin.org.
