bummer, this is a great idea, too bad it just doesn't work :(

That's an issue with your provider, not with the individual hack. Error codes are a good thing to read and pay attention to. Your mysql client ran out of memory, which is far from something that's hack related:)

This hack works wonderfully on vb3 gold, and the second version makes it a lot easier to install.

I'll update my zip to include that fix if it doesn't, later tonight:) Thanks for posting that.

I'm really not sure what happened to the original author, I'm certainly not trying to take over his project, just trying to provide working code that others can use.

wolfstream, our mysql has a memory of 40mb, your telling me the 2 yahoo rss files take up that much memory? :nervous:

No, what I'm telling you is that your server's too loaded down. It's a common problem. Like I said, the error says it all right there.
Your MySQL client has no memory left, so it's bailing on you. This isn't a hack problem, this either is a memory problem or a server problem.

Ok I understand that, however it still doesn't make sense. My forum is large, avg 300 people online. I would think that would crash the server more quickly than inserting a couple RSS files into the database. Wouldn't you think?

Waht about version 2 of the RSS Hack? The hack is working fine but I still have the problem that I have to delete all news manually before new are posted.

Bah.... for the last 3 days, its been reposting the same news feed. I have about 10 of the same topic/title - at its not the latest feed... its an previous one from before the last one posted.

And none of the others are updating anymore... :/

My yahoo RSS screwed up, post 100s of threads at 1 time..i had to disable yahoo feed in the end :(

Installed it, works perfect. got 3 news feeds working lovely.

Have only a 2 questions:
- Is it possible to delete a complete bot?
- Possible to filter out the HTML tags?

doesn't look like this hack is supported anymore
