I have 1.1 though, and am noticing that there isn't a log created for this file. Is there anyone else that is working with the scheduled tasks that is getting the logs to work properly for articlebot.php? Must I put this in the Includes/cron folder for it to work that way?

I am seeing a problemn though when running articlebot.php from the scheduled task manager. It does not send the posts, just check and reteives. I have to click the "Run Now" button on the scheduled tasks for it to actually send the posts to the news server.

I've sent several messages and waited since yesterday for them to appear on the same news server that I sent them to - they never did. I just posted a message on my forum and manually click the run now button, and they sowed up on the news server perfectly.

Anyone else run into this?

Any suggestions?

Well i tried and tried, added lots of feeds but the bot will not post at all, no DB errors but it just will not post... Any ideas? I also had this with the other RSS feed hack :(

OK, I know, dumb question but I'm still learning. Where do I put the template? In my default style, all styles, or someplace else?

Problem #2: I get the following error message.....

Quote:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: array_change_key_case() in /home/www/farpointstation/forums/articlebot/rss_parse.inc on line 203

.... but it should be /home/farpointstation/www/forums/articlebot/rss_parse.inc but I can not find any reference anywhere to "/home/www/...". Thoughts? Where might it be buried that I missed it?

Thanks,
Kevin

KW802, add the template to your default style.

As for that error, check articlebot.php, and make sure you configured the absolute paths correctly.

Execute articlebot.php in your browser. No errors? There shouldn't be any if you configured the paths correctly.

For those using vB's scheduled tasks, I'll look into making Article Bot more integrated with it (the hack was not built for it).. although I can't guarantee it'll be anytime soon.

I do recommend you use a real cron setup anyway (if you're on a NIX server, via your cPanel or shell), instead of vbulletin's system.

Cool, I guessed the template thing right at least. I added it to my default style thinking that since it was using global.php that it'd use whatever the default was.

I tried the directory name in articlebot.php first, even ended up hard-coding the full path and still get the same error.

Below is what the code at http://www.farpointstation.org/forum...articlebot.php currently is but is still producing the same error.

Code:

chdir('/home/farpointstation/www/forums/');

require_once '/home/farpointstation/www/forums/global.php';

include_once '/home/farpointstation/www/forums/articlebot/rss_fetch.inc';

I'm stumped. :ermm: I figured I'd try running it directly from the browser first to rule that it wasn't my cron job.

Any thoughts appreciated. :nervous:

Thanks,
Kevin

Mine's working great on Apache/Redhat. I just added it to the cron job that is getting the Usenet mail in the other hack :)

I am on a dedicated server, will try your suggestion and get back to you via the thread :)

Snowbot, chdir needs to be pointing to your forums, not the articlebot directory.

As printed in the code.

Code:

// Provide absolute server path to forums.

// e.g. /home/cjohn/public_html/forums/



chdir('/path/to/forums/');

require_once './global.php';
