OK, it seems to be working just fine. This fix will only work on new posts that are added to the forum. So if you get repeats just delete the OLD threads and you won't get any more (Or start from new).

in includes/class_ffrss.php
find the function "function post_thread($title, $message, $feed)"
and after global $vbulletin;

add:
then at the bottom of the function after $ThreadDM->save();

add:

then, and I don't know whether this is 100% needed but..

replace the whole function get_dateline()

with

(in my test this prevented it from adding another invalid posthash)

That's an rdf-feed. You'll need that workaround: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=306

I need a fix for this too, I read as far back as I could and didn't see anything that targeteted this problem. Is there anyone that knows what the deal is on the quotation (") and apostrophe (') charecters being replaced with garbage?

A fix for that would soothe my headache.

No errors, seems to work ok, im actually pulling an RSS feed of my photopost gallery installation, the feed gives various information about new uploads, uploader, thumbnail, comments etc... and is generated on the fly when a new upload is in, pulls them ok and works a treat, but although my cron log says it's run the 'cron_ffrss.php' i have rarely had an update, i hope this may fix that :)

after trying all the fixes i'm still getting dupes from avn but not the bbc or sky news.

thanks to all who have helped/tried to fix so far.

the actual setup was a breeze, worked first time on gold.

I can't seem to get this to work. Can someone please post a screen shot of what the Navbar edit looks like exactly? Much appreciated!

Same here - got Sky and BBC feeds working fine now without duplicates....but the cron job doesn't appear to be updating the feeds still...

The code for "New Posts" is . If you want to exclude certain forums, you have to change that to x and y being the numbers of the forums you want to exclude.
With "Today's Posts" it's normally . You have to change that to .

Just look for these words in your navbar template and change them.

Well, i'm not sure if it's this mod or the rss feed from my photopost gallery but the feed does not update via cron, it is being run according to my logs, if i manually click 'update feed' i get nothing also... BUT if i alter the 'Feed Read Direction' from newest first to newest last it'll update the feed...weird huh? either way it's a bug which stops this great hack from being totally automatic!

One which although good, is the crippled leg of my forum!
( i may have to amputate the duff leg )

Are there any other hacks along these lines?

Ugh...I'm just not getting it...still not working. Does this look right?

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&exclude=97,98" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>

Okay for the double post, here's something we gotta fix ourselves. ZT isn't doing it, so we're on our own

From what I can tell, and piecing ZT's data, he's basing the last stuff on RSS by title of the RSS feed. I think we need to move this to date based. This might be a key problem as it isn't programmed to handle based on title. Plus titles change, and can throw the thing off. But dates shouldn't throw it off if its consistent enough.

See: $tableprefix_rssfeed, column: feed_lastadded

Has anyone figured out how to limit this to the first X items in a feed?

This works great!

Anyway, is there a way to have all feeds listed in a single thread, as opposed to having a single thread for each title?

e.g.) Suppose I create a thread id 100, and the script adds just the title and link from the RSS feed to this thread. After a month (or day, or week), I (or the script) can start a new thread for that month, and adds the new data into that single thread..

I think it can be done with a little bit of tweaking to this script.. Each feed seems to have too little information to warrant a new thread, but I like the idea of having just the title of the news in a thread.

Anyone who can help me on how to do this?

Bah, my fix stopped working. Does the posthash table get cleared periodically?

Well I have read through all 28 pages of posts and I am guessing I am missing something because this still does not work....

I set it up completely, entered in my RSS and then when I go to click up date it says I did not specify a select or something like that. Can someone please help me out with this. Thank you.

Join the club mate, after weeks of no responce for updates do not work via cron, and dupes i gotta remove the hack, it's depressing.

I couldn't get this to work, so I made articlebot work with vb 3.50.

Now I am happy again. :D

Well why not post and share with the rest of us? ;)

Have installed this (eg upload file use product manager to run xml file) but nothing shows - in fact did it twice :disappointed:

running 3.5 with photopost & cmps

can anyone help me debug what i have done wrong pls

A

I did in the articlebot thread in 3.0 forums. I got it to run my existing feeds but the admin script still needs to be ported to enter new ones.

Hello,

I have several feeds that are working nicely with vb3.5. The following feed I am having a problem with. The link is broken in the "archive" part of the link, within my forums there is a space inserted in the middle or the word archive. Is there a way for me to correct this issue?

The feed:

http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/dani...u-blog/rss.php

The examples:

http://www.wnypoker.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=39

(I fixed the fact that it's not a linked link already)

Thank you,

I have some uninterpreted HTML-Codes in the title:

for example an title looks like this:

Any fixes? I cant search this thread for &quot because it seems it is on the badwordslist.

edit: Ohh, and the Links arent parsed!

Ya it seems like Zero is not supporting this anymore. Anybody here willing to jump in and get this mod fixed for us? Very important mod to my community! :(

Oh that would be sad.

Great hack. Works perfectly for me!

Anyone use this as a cmps module yet? and if so, can you please share the instructions?

i had to ditch it, good, but dont work as intended, shame

-b6

yep me too.... *clicks uninstall*

Same here. Another buggy unsupported hack. :ermm:

It is working fine. I installed it on two different boards.
Whats your problem with it?

Primarily the enclosure tag bug, but also duplicates and others listed on https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=342

Sorry to say NxTek but I am not using RSS Feeds containing Video or Sound Files.

btw. this is not the meaning of RSS.
Its like using email for ftpying files :D

You can give this one a try: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...wpost&t=100269

Could someone offer me some assistance in getting the following feed working?

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/rss/nfl/news

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here.

Thanks in advance.

For some reason, some of my RSS feeds imports the articles more than once.

They both seem to import the articles everytime it updates:

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/rss/news

http://www.broadbandreports.com/rss20.xml

I'm not sure why though.

Hey! Great script!

Is it possible to stop the RSS feeds from showing up in the new posts page?

I was able to install it, but I can't get it to work. How do I get rid of it? I can't find any removal instructions.
Do I just delete the folder and remove the scheduled task and plugin via admincp or is there a special uninstall procedure?

Hi guys,

To bad about ZT not supporting this anomore... :(

But I have a Q: does anyone know how to get the links in the posts working? I got lazy visitors that want to click around instead of copy-paste... :)

Here you see what I mean: http://www.dutchjoomlers.com/showthread.php?t=1183
You can see 2 links, 1 in the 'news body' and one below that is generated bij the Inferno RSS plugin with the code {XML[link]}.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Of course it's a meaning of RSS. How do you think Podcasting works? :)

Yeah I will. I was using it on 3.0.x. Hopefully the author won't abandon support. :ermm:

Thanks.

Use [ url]{XML[link]}[ /url] instead of {XML[link]}.

I can use BB code there? Ok, thx, I'll try...

I think there were a couple of posts within this thread on how to do this, but nothing has worked for me yet.
