Nope - cron is set up and working.

Even if i refresh it manually it says 0 new rss feeds found, but there are new ones there. It seems like its not deleting the old ones and limits out on 27 new threads and wont get any more after that .. its a bit annoying really cause the system is brilliant if i get it working right.

I definitely agree.

Worked perfect on the first attempt.

i got the mod running but i have the following problem,
http://feeds.feedburner.com/neowin-main add that rss it got it working but there needs to be an option to remove html, there is HUGE spaces where there should only be a small paragraph, the remove html bit should remove spans etc etc etc as it looks aful

hey
this is the RSS but its not workin
can u help me wid it please

I have this hack running successfully on my site, Dubspeed Racing. However, the format in which it outputs things is rediculous. Whats up with the extra white space in the formatting?

Example Thread Here:
http://www.dubspeedracing.com/forums...ead.php?t=8055

And the feed its pulling from here:

http://www.speedsportlife.com/corvet...-at-the-wheel/

And my RSS Post Construct:
Help!

Cool hack! I'm having a small problem. When I add any text or code to the post section, it doesn't save any of the RSS settings. If I just use the XML code in the post it works fine. But I'd like to add some of my own text and code.

Any ideas? Thanks!!

what about this feed title ?

ive used the older version of this has the problems with the double posting of feeds been fixed?

Anyone?
i cant get this rss to work
http://www.bbc.co.uk/urdu/index.xml

Had to reinstall this since I moved my hosting and I'm getting "Invalid URL to RSS Given" which worked just fine before but now it's not?!? Yes, I uploaded all the necessary files and imported the XML, however now I'm running 3.5.3 vs. 3.5.1 as before; did I forget to CHMOD a folder/file perhaps?

Had to figure this out myself. Here is how:
1. Go to Scheduled Tasks -> Scheduled Task Manager and delete the cron entry for Inferno RSS
2. Go to Manage Products, choose uninstall from the dropdown Box
3. Delete these files:

admincp/ffrss.php
includes/xml/cpnav_ffrss.xml
includes/xml/help_ffrss.xml
includes/cron/cron_ffrss.php

How do you make the article bots' posts NOT count towards the board's total posts/threads?

Thanks! :)

This is mostly working, but I've noticed a couple things.

First, sometimes when I hit "edit" on a feed I've created, the RSS Settings revert back to a previously saved state, rather than showing whatever changes I made to them last time. I find myself having to go in a couple times and hitting "Save" to be sure it's actually updated.

Secondly, for some reason, when using this feed, if I try to put {XLM[guid]} in my post construct, all I get is "array" instead of the contents of guid. Any ideas?

Installed..

I recommend you lower the amount of time RSS feeds are crawled.. Every minute seems like overkill.. Set mine for every 15 minutes or it slows the forum down significantly, even with one feed.

How would I format this to look good....I'm feeding auctions from Ebay onto my site

I had made this but it doesn?t work for me. It alway shows me the new threads and posts.
Another trick ?

Sorry, I had to laugh at this.

I know it was said above, but your analogy is bad, and the entire premise is flawed.

RSS + sound = podcast.
RSS + video = video podcast

Ever heard of those? :surprised:

I've read you could turn off "Index New Posts in Search Engine" for the RSS forum, in Admin CP Forum Manager. This will prevent searches on that forum, so presumably will work? Not sure though.


You could also install this hack: Opt Out Forums from Get New/Get Daily. Works for me, and allows users to choose what they prefer on an individual basis, which I like. If you read the thread too, you'll see there's a way to set some forums to be "opted out" by default for everyone.

Hope this helps!

Yahoo works perfectly... until I click on one of the links and get "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded".

Same error as silurius (same host, too.)

cURL is enabled. In fact, it works fine with ArticleBot.

<sigh>

is there any way to make this not create new threads? my "New Posts" page is getting hammered.

Until you (or WE) get an answer to this I found a solution: I made a new child forum in the MOD Area where only I have permissions. I get hit with the New Posts, but it doesn't show up in anyone else's listing.

Hope that at least helps a little. :)

This mod will help you filter which forums get searched for new posts:

What would work wonders for me is if this Hack could post all of the updates in One Post for each Feed. Or even in just one thread would be much better. ;)

Thanks Again for all your hard work ZT.

:D

I'd like to suggest adding event feeds to this.

For example, I have a feed that is "Upcoming Events" for a training agency. What I'd like to do is rather than create a post on this is to create a calendar event.

The feed has an entry:

for single day events and an entry:

for multiday events.

I upgraded to 3.5.4 from 3.5.3 and neither version has worked with this extension, but did when I was running 3.5.2 and below just fine. I keep getting an "Invalid URL to RSS feed given" error.

So there is no answer to making URL's in the RSS posts actual links??

Also, is there any way to put in line breaks in after the title/URL/description?

Just put spaces in the "Thread Post RSS Construct" box between elements:

Mine looks like this:

Mine just makes a thread with the link to the source forum thread. If the source forum thread has additional posts after boing posted on my forum, the updated posts are not put on my forum. How can I make it do update the original threads? I have nearly 12000 threads and like 12200 posts.

hmm, seems like it's not supporting greek letters? no iso-coding possibility?

seems to hava problem with non-latin letters:
try to use this feed:
http://linux.pl/rss.php

error is in this line:

How would this be edited so that it only posts A SINGLE latest news item in a RSS?

That would fix duplicates.... the way it works now it checks to see if the title= the last posted stored title. If it only checked the latest posted new and only posted 1 of them you would not got dups..

So.. anyone know how to only have it post 1??

'installed' Got it working perfectly on 3.5.4, nice job.
Got the occasional ? in place of the ' char, but I guess that's down
to the feed set as ISO and my vB is UTF-8. Otherwise, v nice.

need help installing this one

can anyone help please

Thank you Zero Tolerance.

In some wierd way it wont work properly.

I installed it and all seems ok. Got the new menu in Admincp and all.

Things get strange when I try to detect the feeds settings. I insert a link and my forum starts loading and loading and loading. After a couple of minutes my server times-out.

I tested this with the example BBC feed and some others but none seem to work.

Anyone have an explanation for this???

Board: vb 3.5.4
RSS hack: Inferno 1.6
All fresh installed and no other mods on it.

[edit]
Just tested some more and found something interesting.
My server is running WinXP Pro, PHP 4.4.2, MySQL 4.0.26 and Apache 1.3.35.
When I click the dtect button I get a PHP error on my servers monitor.
Hope someone can help me with this.

Hello,

I noticed there is a 1.6 with bug fixes so I downloaded and installed, but I'm still at 1.5. Looking at the product xml file it says 1.5 at the top. Is it possible 1.6 was released but the version not updated in the XML file? If there is a specific download I should be looking for attached to a post in one of the 35 pages please point out the page number. Thank you.

An excellent edition to my tools! //clicks Install//

A minor notes -

* In field feed_parser you are not escaping double quotes. Whenever someone puts a double quote in any of the RSS Setting, it gets blown away.
Wouldn't it be easier to break those fields out instead of using parsing?

* As earler mentioned a toggle to allow a specific feed to create a thread, or continue existing thread would be excellent.

I'm getting this on one site running a cron job:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: sb_test() in /****/***/****/********/******/**/forum/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(1466) : eval()'d code on line 2
