it is rss 2.0 they just decided not to do pubdate. maybe if this script didnt rely on times so much.

the script shouldnt be doing this by times anyways. what if two rss feeds come out at the exact same time? it ignores one or both? it should just compare the titles or urls.

i may just scrap this thing and do this all in perl and just insert it right into the database, this is rediculous.

It needs a timestamp so that it can tell if it was released since the last time it checked. Sure, the script could query the database and see if it's already there, but why introduce more overhead? It really frosts me when RSS feeds DON'T contain that data. It doesn't really cost more to have a more complete feed. And RSS clients can do so much more with the extra data.

it relies on times and titles. because yahoo will release the same article 40 minutes later and obviously you don't want 2 of the same post. but it needs the time because a compliant rss feed would have pubDate in it. try the article bot in the vBulletin Integration forum. i am not sure exactly how that bot works.

when I run the task nothing happens.. just says

RSS Bot

10-11-2004 11:24 PM

that's all it should say. there is no output in the scheduled task manager besides that. threads should be created in your forum.

I am getting duplicate posts, only one has the article, the other is blank. I am using the current version just installed tonight.

Is there any fix for this or what other information do you need from me? Thanks!

kctalker

10-23-2004 09:39 AM

Actually, it is happening to all my posts since installing this hack. Please help!

My site is http://www.kctalk.com and everything is totally jacked up now. How do I remove the changes from the db?

So that rss 2.0 functions, I took over the code of rsuplido -> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=354. However thereby <description> is not taken over. Mine rss looks in such a way:

PHP Code:


		
			
<item>

  <title>

    <![CDATA[ Souleage Site]]> 

  </title>

  <link>http://www.domain.com/index.php?id=34</link> 

  <description>

    <img src="http://cgnetworks.com/newsimages/2004_10/2004_10_26_soul70.jpg" align="left" class="left" hspace="2" vspace="0" width="70" height="70" /> 

    <![CDATA[ Text...  ]]> 

  </description>

  <pubDate>Tue, 26 Oct 2004 07:38:00 +0000</pubDate> 

</item>

Can help their me?

Excuses please my bad English!

Thank you Andreas

just looking at the code briefly it looks like rsuplido's code only affects the title.

so, take a look at the section of code for the description and it might be a copy/paste replacement then you just change the <title> to <description> and it might work. i'm not sure, but it might work.

abaum

10-31-2004 06:57 AM

PHP Code:


		
			
if(preg_match_all("|<description><img (.+) /><\!\[CDATA\[(.+)\]\]></description>|iUs",$itemData,$match,PREG_SET_ORDER))

            {

                $desc = $match[0][1];

                $this->CHANNELS[$channelID]['ITEMS'][$itemID]['DESCRIPTION'] = "$desc";

            } else {

                if(preg_match_all("|<description>(.+)</description>|iUs",$itemData,$match,PREG_SET_ORDER))

                {

                    $desc = $match[0][1];

                    $this->CHANNELS[$channelID]['ITEMS'][$itemID]['DESCRIPTION'] = "$desc";

                } else {

                    $this->CHANNELS[$channelID]['ITEMS'][$itemID]['DESCRIPTION'] = "";

                }

            }

Functioned unfortunately also not. Only the title is picked out. The variable $rss_description remains empty.

Is this all compatible with new 5.0.1 release? Cause I get the following error:

Weird. I found this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....6&postcount=59) and uploaded the attached file. Works fine now!

Any way I can limit this to just x entries - so I don't get 25 new threads each time to spam up the getdaily or getnew search?

With this script, if it doesn't have the pubdate field, it won't work.

I'm trying to get the slashdot feed to work, and it worked the initial time, but it won't post anymore due to their feeds not having pubdate fields.

dorkus

12-01-2004 01:28 PM

For those interested in the slashdot feed, and are using this hack, I found an address that converts the slashdot feed to rss 2.0 and uses the pubdate field.

Here I thought this one would work when the other RSS mod didn't since this one seems actually promising with all the glowing reviews. But, I get this return from the cron job:

Code:

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/rss.php on line 2



Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxx/public_html/xxx/rss.php on line 2

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

bishop93

12-14-2004 01:16 PM

Nevermind. One of our devs got this to work. I have no idea how. But it seemed to be something about the cron setup wrong. It is, as I said, a most excellent mod.

bishop93

12-15-2004 03:12 AM

Okay. I was wrong. Sorta. It's read and inserted once. I know that the feed has been updated once since then, but it's not updating the forum.

Why?

bishop93

12-15-2004 09:50 PM

Does anyone have answers to these questions? Such functionality is brilliant option to my operations, at least, but I can see why these would be necessary to others.

Hey guys, I'm a hardcore noob:

rss.php

Warning: main(./includes/cron/rss.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.gambia/realopin/realopinion.com/realboards/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 56

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/cron/rss.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/.gambia/realopin/realopinion.com/realboards/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 56

What do I do? This happened when I ran the task.

mikehawk

12-16-2004 05:13 AM

Ok I changed the path in the task manager to rss.php in my main directory.. it wasn't in cron.

But now I get this error:

rss.php

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ':' in /home/.gambia/realopin/realopinion.com/realboards/includes/functions_newpost.php on line 190

What could be wrong? Please help. :nervous:

Ok well my problem is this:

It updates when I manually run the task with one user, but it will only update again if I change the bot id to another user. It doesn't update again when the bot id is the same. What could be the problem? I have to use another users id everytime I want to update the feed.

thing ran the initial time, and made the threads, now every subsiquent run of the script doesnt generate squat

quality...

ah pubdate...well this sucks
time to try and figure out a way around this one

01-03-2005 10:03 AM

I had the 'not updating' problem but if you look back one page to this message:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=462
I say how it was sorted out - works fine now.

I had this hack installed but I uninstalled it hoping that another hack could pull off what I wanted to do.
I am trying to read an rss feed thats been encoded in utf-8
Is this possible for me to do???

Thanks for your time! I could have never gotten this far without all of yaulls help.

function unhtmlentities($string) 

{

   $trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);

   $trans_tbl = array_flip($trans_tbl);

   return strtr($string, $trans_tbl);

}



$c = unhtmlentities($a);



echo $c; // I'll "walk" the <b>dog</b> now



?>

If upgrading PHP is not possible for you then you could try to replace the html_entity_decode function using this example.

By the way, has anyone managed to fix the double post issues? I have these issues with both yahoo and bbc feeds.

Why when i run it some time i get this error

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/myuser/public_html/includes/functions_databuild.php on line 480

Gr8 Hack !! Just installed version 1.26 ... I have some issues...

1. When I first ran the cron job manually to test and refreshed the forumpage. it automatically logged me in as that bot member whose id i had used to add the new bot.

2. Then it did not show up the forums at all... i mean on going to index page it only showed headings --> Forums - Last Post - Threads - posts, but no forum was showing. I had to delete the bot all together to show the forums on index page.

3. Strangly, in all this hick ups, the rss feed was succesfully entered as new threads but with one more issue... the following is what is showing up... The thing in bold below is spoiling the show.

Daily Times, Pakistan - 8 hours ago... sculptures were prominent in reminding the people of their colonial past; the sculpture of Alfred Woolner, the vice chancellor of the Punjab University (1928 ...

I wonder what is the problem...

Please guide

I was trying to install this mod for the RSS Feed for my forums..
I was running the install script that came with it... then it got to where it was adding data into my thread table and it just hung up...
I was like okay no problem... i will just go to phpmyadmin and do a repair on my thread table.. Well when i opened up phpmyadmin and went into my forums DB i notice that my thread table say's 0 Rows now.. when i click on the table it doesnt show anything.. it's just blank?

Well i tried to repair the table anyways but it just times out or something. It will get to about the 6th bar on my browser and just quit.

any help will be appreciated...
