Anyone know of a way to schedule the removal of duplicate threads/posts?
(AdminCP->Maintenance->Update Counters)
I'd like to schedule this to run right after the feed update, only in that forum if possible (to keep load minimal). Tried to schedule "./admincp/misc.php?do=removedupe&startat=8000", but it laughed at me. This would probably be a bad idea for high traffic sites, but mine is just a little gathering place for friends.

The "dupe problem" appears to be more a problem with feeds, versus this addon. If an RSS file isn't updated, no new posts are made... But if one new item is added to the RSS file, all other old items will be posted along with the new one.

Dictionary.com's "Word of The Day" is a fun feed to encourage posting, get people to use the word in a sentence & enlarge their brains. I've been creating Word of The Day threads by hand for years, very happy this came along. Thanks a million.

Is the duplicate issue fixed now? Want to make sure before I install this mod...

InterFX

No, its not. And the issue of not stripping HTML before posting into non-HTML enabled threads also remains.

Man, I want to install this in the worst way but the dupe thing is keeping me from doing so.

I don't think it is supported at all anymore...

It's never been supported, I don't think Zero supports many of his hacks.

I've got this error too and there hasn't been any help for GrendelKhan so maybe there is no fix for this.

I know having access to fopen was needed in some other 3.0.x hacks but fopen is not used in this plugin.

Anyone know a solution for this yet?

tried it and didnt work for me :(

you got to remember the kid is 17 and runs his own company so being a kid and having to update stuff that he has paying clients is his main priorites. when you isntall hacks here there is no guarentee that anyone will ever return to upgrade or help you with the hack. its on you once you install it

when he has time and goes over this stuff i am sure he will fix the problems that arize. but some of you dont understand that he has alot of hacks here already. he isnt vbulletin staff so he is in no way obligated to sit and constantly watch to see if someone cant use his hack. this is why this is a community your suppose to examine the hacks and learn from them. so you can help the community as well. this isnt the freemarket and everyone is constantly gonna walk you around by your hand on every little install . the hackers do this for fun and offer there hacks. none of them have to or need too offer any of this.

so when you see a problem post it and then wait maybe someone else can help ya or maybe when the creator has time he will help you.

but always keep in mind they have lifes too and other projects to run so when they dont jump to fix your problems dont make it out like they dont care

zt is constantly giving back to this community for nothing and i for one have all his hacks installed and i dont know if i am gifted or lucky but i dont run into any of these problems you people seem to be ?

maybe it could be many isssues when your throwing a whole bucnh of different hacks on one forum. and maybe just maybe this is all test hacks anyway so of course there are gonna be bugs in both the hacks and the actual system. so untill this stuff goes gold your trying these hacks at your own risk...

I think the real problem is the way VB.Org manages hacks. If I were to take this code, find the problem and re-release it, I'd get jumped all over, asking if I received permission.

What we have is a buggy hack that has been orphaned. The author hasn't been around to fix it and hasn't shown any signs of doing so, age or any other personal issue not withstanding. The hack clearly indicates that it isn't supported, so there is no reasonable expectation that anything ever will get fixed.

There should be a way for someone interested in fixing and supporting a hack to take it over. A released hack filled with bug and logic errors with no support isn't a hack at all.
