first: great hack :up:
second: I tried to run the cronjob and got this error message... Code:
Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(../class.RSS.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/www/*****/*****/) in /www/*****/*****/includes/RSS/rss_update.php on line 28 maresi |
I'm thrilled to have found this hack! I grabbed the latest live linked version as of yesterday (I'm running PHP 4.3.5), and followed the installation instructions. I did create a bot user, and a special forum for it to play in. I can get to the RSS administration panel, added a bot... but then nothing.
Question: When you run the ./rss.php task from the Scheduled Task manager, is there any confirmation message at all? Whenever I click it, it just says Update RSS... and nothing else. No error, but no "Done" either. It doesn't show up in the scheduled task log, either, which makes me doubt it's running. Thanks for any help you can provide! |

what is the rss news feed you are trying to use, can u post the link to it. |

Can anyone put together a list of the RSS feeds that DO work with this? Slashdot, for example, doesn't.

Common RSS Feeds: - Yahoo! - CNET.com - BBC - Wired News - The Register - Ars Technica |
When I add a new bot, do I just say "Yahoo!" for source, do i put in yahoo.com/rss ??? or what

For those interested (and if you'll pardon the self-link), here's my newsbot's playground. I too tweaked the post format (rather than "View the entire article," I just made the headline a link). I sure wish my RSS source would pass a little more meat in the item description, though! Finally, this autoprune hack makes a great partner with the RSS News Feed hack. If your bot is posting dozens of threads a day, this can make sure you don't suddenly find yourself with 5,000 threads in your bot's forum. |
