I just need to find a German feed about vintage cars and Iam fine. Thanks for this great hack :)
|
Installed per instructions and received the following error message:
includes/config.php does not exist. Cannot continue. I know the config.php file is there, it appears that there is something off in the code. Any ideas on how to resolve this problem? Problem SOLVED! |
hi guys,
i'm a bit of a noob. but i installed this mod (so far so good) but now I get an error each time my bot has to make a post; Warning: MagpieRSS: Failed to parse RSS file. (mismatched tag at line 291, column 4) in /home/httpd/vhosts/p8ce.com/httpdocs/test/new/forums/articlebot/rss_fetch.inc on line 230 Warning: Argument to array_reverse() should be an array in /home/httpd/vhosts/p8ce.com/httpdocs/test/new/forums/articlebot/articlebot.php on line 137 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/httpd/vhosts/p8ce.com/httpdocs/test/new/forums/articlebot/articlebot.php on line 141 does any1 know why this is happening? |
Burley it just means that your rss feed can't be parsed. In other words its a bad feed. Get another and repeat. When you get a blank screen with no errors...your in the clear.
|
I installed article bot..so far so good. I've tried different feeds...all is well. When it posts the feeds to my forum it only displays the title, a short description and a url to someone elses article.
Its doing its job, however, does anyone now how I can capture the entire article and post it as opposed to just the description. Usually its due to the rss feed it self...it can only read what its given, but, are there any rss feeds out there that give you the whole article?? |
Is there a way to add fields for the bot to post ie: date?
will this work? if (!$article['link'] || !$article['title'] || !$article['date']) I'm about to try it, but in case someone knows how to add more fields, please let me know. Thanks. |
How can I stop the "UNKNOWN LOCATION" in the who's online bit, when i'm using article bot with a cron job?
|
Sowwy my n00b question, but is anyone using this Hack in vB 3.0.4 ?
I have this currently installed on my production vB 3.0.3, is there anything I should pay attention when I upgrade vB to 3.0.4, do I have to do any additional steps after upgrading to ensure this Hack will continue to work? O_o Cheers, w0z |
I've recently set up a new board and have added the ArticleBot mod to post news items to a specific forum.
The problem is that now the "Bot" user shows up as the "Top" poster. Anyone know how to make the Bot's posts visible but not count in the post count? I know I could turn off post counts for the forum the bot posts in but that would affect all users. James |

This hack is VB 3.05 compatiable.

For the past few months I have been getting the following error. I believe I have traced it back to articlebot.php
Code:

Everything works fine, seems like would be a great hack, thats if it was syndicating with the .xml .rss feeds - I get this error from articlebot.php
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /hsphere/local/home/williamk/cs-elite.net/forums/articlebot/articlebot.php on line 92 PHP Code:

I have installed vbarticles but I cannot read a feed I really want.
Its in Atom .3 and the encoding is in utf-8 They also have an rss feel but its encoding is also 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. |
Just installed and setup a few seperate posting categories .. works like a charm.
Just gotta work out this cron job instead of manually calling articlebot/articlebot.php every couple of hours. Clicked install .. thanks for a great hack :) |

Thanks! James |
Is there anyway to have this bot as an "always signed in" user rather than a Guest? It would seem that certain settings that don't allow guests to actually read posts without being registered and signed in break this little hack. And it's been working so well up until now.

clicks *install*
Does somebody know, how i can prune automatically the posted Feeds ? I don't like to remove them manually, if the BoT is posting 20 Posts/Day or even more ... gr33tz |
This script is nice...but i have a little problem...
I´ve installed it sucesfull and running the articlebot.php on the browser...and the bot added the rss entrys on the board...with title and thread description... I´ve added a include on the global.php require_once('./articlebot/articlebot.php'); And edit the chdir('/path/to/forums/'); to the right real chdir... /var/www/html/blablala..../ The script add new Threads with the right title, but nothing thread self...the link to the thread from the index was unavaible... I think the script has problems with the articlebot_post, because i saw a error with articlebot_post... Why it´s first works fine and now... |
Here is the error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: fetch_template() in /var/www/blabla/articlebot/articlebot.php on line 259 This line is: eval('$articlebot_post = "' . fetch_template('articlebot_post', 0, 0) . '";'); I´ve added this template and it works first time fine, but now... |
How do you do a CRON Job anyway?
I have CPANEL. I set it up, and I get this garbage: /home/xxxx/public_html/forums/articlebot/articlebot.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory /home/xxxx/public_html/forums/articlebot/articlebot.php: line 5: /aquota.user: Permission denied /home/xxxx/public_html/forums/articlebot/articlebot.php: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `|' /home/xxxx/public_html/forums/articlebot/articlebot.php: line 6: ` | articlebot.php, v1.1, 07/25/04 |' I checked the permissions of the file to make sure it was executable. This is what I put into the CRON JOB scheduler line as the location: /home/xxxx/public_html/forums/articlebot/articlebot.php Any ideas? |

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=441 Looks like you are missing the php command and *nix has no idea what to do with it, so it is trying to interpret it (your php file) as a series of shell commands. Regards, Matt |
Since installing this, my forum has been running very slow... :ermm:

Ok, i'm needing some input here.
I've tried several places on getting a feed for http://eq2players.station.sony.com/ and have yet to find one that is really good. The feed I use from g-blog (he custom makes them) is the best I have had so far. But still, I am unable to get the links IN the stories as they appear on the site. All it shows is a link at the bottom of the story, and many times, I have to fix the formating since g-blog only does a html scrap. You can see what I mean here: http://www.ahazi.org. Any help would be appreciated. |
OK,
I've been playing around with the regex replacements for the last 8 or so hours. I need HELP!!!! I've figured out how to make single pattern replacements. i.e. search: /patternA/ replace: valueB This replaces patternA with valueB Also I've also got logical OR's pattern replacements working. search: /patternA|patternB|patternC/ replace: valueD This is great for replacing patternA and patternB and patternC with valueD What I realy need help with, and I'm not even sure if it's possible, is multiple pattern matching with different values for each pattern match. Example: search: /patternA/, /patternB/ ,/patternC/ replace: patternA with valueD, patternB with valueE, patternC with valueF Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Chris |
LOL the users on my community, don?t like the bot...:(

Otherwise, we continue to run problem free. |

/usr/bin/php /srv/www/blahblahblah/articlebot.php you will need to uncomment the chdir('/path to forums/'); require_once './global.php'; hope that helps. |
Hi,
Does anyone know how to un-install this bot? |
