RSS robot not working --

[ericgray]

I am having an oddity with my 3.6.0 newsfeeder --

-- the sub-forum is here --

http://spbr.org/pbsmiles/upload/forumdisplay.php?f=26

I was running the news feeder on this Google RSS script --

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=%22pit+bull%22+pitbull&ie=UTF-8&output=rss

and I have it run to set up but in RSS feeds and Scehduled Task Manager --

-- and it says it's running in both areas, but when I look at the log, it hasn't pulled any articles --

-- and if I go in the Sch. Task Manager and run it manually, it runs -- and pulls articles --

:|

any thought?

thank you!

Check your "footer" template for "$cronimage".

It has to be there.

thank you for this -- i checked, and it is there -- :(

what is your site traffic?

You may need more traffic to trigger $cronimage to run.

Could be a bug in this version vb, or some problem with another mod.
Last version vb i had it working fine and now i get the same problem as you are getting.

The RSS poster will not automaticly post i have to manually run it.

Any ideas people? something to do with the Scheduled Tasks?

thanks

the weird thing is, too, is that the other "tasks" appear to be running automatically --

-- yet the RSS Robot says it runs, but pulls nothing, and when you look at the log, nothing is pulled --

-- then if you run it manually, on the "scheduled task manager", it runs and pulls feeds --

:(

what is your site traffic?

You may need more traffic to trigger $cronimage to run.
site traffic is pretty good --

and here's what i wrote --



i think this is a great mod -- no question --

-- i originally had 3.0 and my board was running fine --

-- when i upgraded to this version, with its cron script, it disabled my rss autpost robot --

-- since i disabled this version and went back to 3.0, the bot is posting again -- for now --

-- just an FYI --
