A more capable RSS Feed manager.

[mhackl]

The RSS Feed manager in vbulletin is only good for about fifteen feeds max before it stops working. I need a feed manager that is capable of handling 118+ feeds. Does anyone know of a mod or third party package that will do the same thing as VBs Feed manager, but on a larger scale?

I've searched on this forum, but I haven't found anything yet.

That one looks like it's for use with vbadvanced only. Also, it doesn't excatly do what I want.

I am developing a college football website that will cover all 118+ Division-1 teams. I just need to have team specific feeds post to their respective forums. The system in VB does what I need, but it's just can't handle the demand of that many feeds. I could very easily need to multiply the number of feeds (118) by two or three. VBs solution doesn't seem to be even remotely capable of handling that kind of demand.

I was hoping that there was a mod that would allow the current system to run the feeds in small batches (five or less at a time) instead or trying to run them all at once. I think that this would solve the problem.

No, it's not only for vbadvanced...I don't have vbadvanced and I use it.

Sounds cool.:)

What is the problem with the standard system. How does it "not handle the demand of that many feeds"?

A save file window pops up for the cronadmin.php file everytime to RSS task attempts to run, but it doesn't have a problem if only enable a couple of feeds

I noticed that another user had the same problem and resolved it with the assistance of your support. I need the same assistance. Cronadmin problem with rss manager (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1431864#post1431864)

I am building a College Football forum that will require one feed for every team (118). I only have 14 installed at the moment and I'm already encountering problems. If the RSS system cannot handle this amount is there any way of creating separate batches? Say, have batches of 10 feeds run every ten minutes?

What can I do to overcome this?

Here is the info from that members ticket:

***
Your server has built-in memory and time limits and if running all those feeds at once exceeds those limits, then there really isn't much you can do.

You can try editing your config.php file and adding these lines right under <?php:

ini_set('memory_limit', 64 * 1024 * 1024);
ini_set("max_execution_time", "1800");

Otherwise you may just have to cut down on the number of feeds or try limiting them with this setting: Maximum Items to Fetch
***

I hope that helps.

I attempted the solution listed above with no result.

What is the current memory_limit for your server?

[mhackl]

I'm not sure. I will have to contact my hosting provider.

What is the current memory_limit for your server?
I just heard back from my webhost and they said that the current memory_limit set for my account is 60MB.

That should be enough in most cases. I suggest you continue with your support ticket, or open a Bug Report.
