RSS feed to post

[Cyburbia]

The newest version of IPB includes a feature where RSS news items can be automatically imported into message board posts.

Has anyone made a plugin or extension for vBulletin 3.5 that can do the same thing?

The RSS feed posts in IPB is made by a member bot with a post count that stays at zero. Would that be possible, too?

This should do what you want.

Wow I wonder if there is a simpler way for a program to do that. All that confuses me.

It does do a few more things then you ask for. I use it to get posts from several mailing lists, blogs and other sources.

It's in the works still, but i liked your idea and i'd hate for IPB to have something vb didn't ;)

Look at my signature for more info, or this link if you your that lazy :p - Previews (http://www.gzevolution.net/I_RSS_FF_T/)

My hopes are someone will fix VB's RSS external to be controled by usergroup permissions Vs forum permissions. Then we can filter output even from private forums.

Well that's not the aim of this hack, it's designed to do what the user is asking in the first post.

Sorry for reviving this old thread...

I've been getting my head around this Mod over the last few hours, and at one point actually had it working well.

The only problem I initially, is that the DB Table wasn't created automatically, so I did it by hand (Not really a big deal, but clearly not how it's supposed to work).

After a few hours of playing around with it, I managed to succesfully syndicate my first 10 posts, and the results were good, but needed tweaking...

So I edited the way the feed was presented and was happy that it would look the way I wanted.

Now, I'm in the situation that the actual RSS settings don't seem to be logged by vB...

I can go into the DB and see the records there, but for whatever reason when I go into the admincp and attempt to manually update the feed or edit the settings, all the work I've done is no longer there.

It's a really weird one, because like I say, I can see the entries in the DB, they just don't seem to be recognised in the vB back end.

Have you got any idea why this might be?

As a side note, many of the titles have got HTML formatting in them, which output, completly unparsed in the post title after the feed is syndicated (I have HTML switched on in these categories).

Again, sorry for dragging up the old(ish) thread, but I would *love* to have this working, as I've been looking for something like this for a while...

Cheers, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

You would be better off posting in the hack thread and asking Zero Tolerance for assistance in modifying the output of your feed - He is more likely to look there than here :)

OK will do then...

I'll just copy the above post if you wouldn't mind deleting it for me. :)

Thanks.
