I was having the same problem but I found a post on page 6 or so with a quick fix. So I did the fix and then it all worked but every so often it would repost the same thread upon every single update (every 15 mins). Finally I just gave up and uninstalled the hack. I'll try again when version 2 of the hack comes out, whenever that may be.

I just installed this on my board....

When I added in the news feed in the admincp, I accidently put the wrong forum ID/user ID (reversed the ID #s).

But its not showing up in the Modify Bots page....
So I added in what the ID # should be in a new bot.

Still not showing up under Modify Bots.

So I clicked on Delete All News (so so I thought).

Well they were deleted, but when I added in the new bot (where it should've been), it added it back into the two threads that they were in before (the reversed #s one and the correct #).

*sigh*

And when I try to delete the feeds from the bad forum, they reappear. :/

Any suggestions?

I finally found out the problem with my board....
Each RSS bot has to have a seperate user name.
for example:
it doesn't work if more than one bot uses the user id of 1..

That wasn't the case....

I switched the forum id with the user id (I had a *dislexic* moment at the time)

So instead of forum id: 72, and member id: 27...
I had forum id: 27, and member id: 72 (which didn't exist)

So I made a new bot entry with the correct ids.

And the one with the wrong forum/member id never showed up (nor did the correct one).

And when I tried deleted everything to start over, and deleted the posted feeds in the wrong forum, and correctly added what the ID #s were suppose to be... The old bot was still posting feeds in the wrong forum - as well as the correct forum.

Messed up.... :/

Should I just replace the files that were edited, etc? and start over?
Or will it still do it?

Gracias!

yeah, i think you should...

Actually, it is very possible to have the same bot posting news in multiple forums. I had this going on for quite some time.

As far as the news not updating, others have posted a fix for it. Make sure to read the whole thread, because there's a few things regarding cron that should be paid attention too. If you've got a forum that's heavily used, updating the rss feeds every time you have a page view is a very bad idea.

oh?
well, when i used the same user for multiple feeds and forums.. it didn't work :(

Wow I can't believe I missed this one - it looks great :)!

I have been browsing this thread now for a while trying to find and answer.

Have anyone fixed the html tag problem that can occure when the rss feed have images and links and such ?

And could some one in detail explain to me how to fix the postcounts.

And about the cron job. Im very scared to do anything with my db cron jobs ar anything like that. I feel like everything is gonna break when i hit my cpanel link LOL.

why doesn't it say the number of threads and posts? on the categories where i have rss feeds
