Another thing, is there anyway to make it post whole article? Like look http://www.digitalwebforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=19 it posts just stupid 2 lines of news and then says "View whole article here" I want it to post whole articles without those links, is that possible?

nope. the news feed would have to have the entire article in it. that leaves it up to the website producing the news feed. some news feeds have longer descriptions than others. but most don't include the whole article.

Ehh then this is useless...

I still get duplicates from yahoo rss, using 1.23

hm, i'm not getting duplicates and i am using yahoo. which feed are you using from yahoo?

world news and politics

can you look in your database in the vb3_thread table and see if it is filling the rss_feed and rss_date fields?

it should be filling them and then it checks the date in the rss_date field against the dates in the feeds.

yeah it fills just fine, it's not like it duplicates right away, it seems to run but run a few times

could it be the news articles are closely related? maybe try getting a copy of the rss feeds when it runs, then get more copies later on and compare them. that's what i would try to do.

the script checks the article title and the pubdate of the article. if both are the same, it is marked as old and not posted.

fantastic! thanks!
