How often does the external RSS update?

[nick-harper]

My RSS feed seems to take a couple of hours to update :( Is this normal?

Is there a scheduled task to check?

Check your cron jobs in AdminCP. ;)

Which job is it? I have had a look but can't see anything. I have just changed the cache time in the external settings so will see what that does :)

Are these feeds coming in to your site, or feeds that you, yourself are generating?

If they're incoming, the time is set via the RSS option in AdminCP. If it's a feed that you are generating, the frequency is set via Scheduled Tasks. Look for RSSFeeds.

[nick-harper]

It is the feed I am generating.

The only Scheduled Task is for the incoming feeds the site posts :(

If you are talking about the external.php file of your site, then it should update as soon as there is a new *thread*. It doesn't not update based on posts.

It is possible to control HOW OFTEN your RSS Feed updates?! I don't want it to update instantly, I would like it to update every hour. Where is the code that would do this in the external.php.....sorry for bumping an old thread!!

AdminCP > Settings > Options > external data provider

Lynne, I really wish there was a thanks button on vb.org. You have always been incredibly helpful, I found exactly what I need after search vb.org for days!!

Can you also use the RSS bot in the forum admin panel to auto-post YouTube videos as forum posts?
