OK, I'm even more confused now. Still getting the same error when I run articlebot/php manually. But I have it setup to run as a scheduled task from with in vB itself, and it appears to be working.

So if everything seems to be working, so everything is fine with me! ;)

Thanks for your help.

Heh, I never noticied vBulletin 3 did this. This hack hasn't been filtering them out, because the code was never there!

Luckily preventing the comments from showing is as easy as providing an optional argument to the fetch_template() function.

So, in articlebot.php, replace:

with:

Zip has been updated.

error, debug, whatever: missing TABLE_PREFIX everywhere...

Awesome hack once again. I installed this and modified it to my needs, and let me tell you it is amazing in my case. Even user activity has increased alot!

Great hack, Velocd. I think I might install it.

nexialys, where exactly? I've gone through the whole code, the vB tables all have TABLE_PREFIX to them. articlebot tables do not have them, because they are created without prefixes.

Just finished integrating it to the v3Articles hack.....I think I will release it tonight.

Good job on the bot Velocd :)

I'm trying to set my scheduled tasks up for this cron job and I have it pointing to:

./articlebot/articlebot.php

Most of the other tasks will display the name of the job, then below it a Done message. I named this job Articles and all I get back is the Articles name, but I am not seeing a done message. This leads me to believe the job isn't running. Has anyone else gotten this to work via this method? I have a shared server and would really like to use this method over the others.

Thanks in advance.

Mine was doing the same thing until I upgraded to the new release. It does work now.

Is there a way to specify the time zone used in the control panel for this?

It uses the server time and not the time set by vB in the control panel.

Thanks,
