When a listing has an rss feed, there is no way to know unless you click to the details page. I would like to add a rss icon to the linkbit template that will show only if the listing has a feed available. I'm not sure what template code I should reference to do this. I'm assuming my code would be something like this: <IF {*unknown*}><img src="{IMAGESURL}/*my rss feed icon*" /></IF>
Just to extend this fuether - on the details.tpl page if I want to allow the user to subscribe to the feed (if available) from the details page, what further changes should I consider? - like user clicks on that feed icon and shoudl be able to subscribe to the feed from my directory...

A simple link to {LINKFEEDURL} would do that, right? May depend on their web browser.

Thanks Paul. I used the mentioned feed url variable and it is working.
just wondering - if it is possible to count the clicks to that feed url on each details listing page?
