Version History
---------------
0.1 - First release - Jan 21, 2015

Instructions:

Apply the mod and upload (in ASCII mode):

cgi-bin/yabb2/Admin/Modlist.pm
cgi-bin/yabb2/Admin/NewSettings.pm
cgi-bin/yabb2/Admin/Settings_Advanced.pm
cgi-bin/yabb2/Languages/English/Admin.lng
cgi-bin/yabb2/Sources/BoardIndex.pm
cgi-bin/yabb2/Sources/MessageIndex.pm

In your .htaccess file in the ROOT of your site (not in the cgi-bin or the yabb2 folder) place:

Code

### YaBB rewrite ###
 RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine

 RewriteRule ^RSSrecent/([A-Za-z0-9/\-_,~\(\)]*)?$ cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=RSSrecent&amp;catselect=$1 [L]
 RewriteRule ^RSSrecent$ cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=RSSrecent [L]
 RewriteRule ^RSSboard/([A-Za-z0-9/\-_,~\(\)]*)?$ cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=RSSboard&amp;board=$1 [L]
 ### end YaBB rewrite ###

If you choose not to use RSSrecent or RSSboard for your symlink, replace the folder name after the ^ with the folder names you plan to use. Once the Mod is installed, go to Admin Center -> Advanced Settings and input your domain url and your chosen folder names. This mod needs the domain url to include the 'http://' part.

Note: We have it installed here so now the url of RSSrecent is http://yabbforumsoftware.com/RSSrecent
