for the source you will put in the URL to the RSS news feed.

First of all, nice work. I read through the original hack thread and this one and came up with a question.

I'm runnig a german board and tried some rss feeds. most of them don't have a pubDate field. What happens when they don't have this field? Does it work anyway or do I have to create a workaround for it?

Any other german here with good working news feeds?

Now this is tru be lucky to get 3 words :(

it should work, it just won't submit anything to the rss_date field in the database. then this means that when it is checking for duplicates it won't find any "old" articles and it will post duplicates if there are any.

ya .... that's the problem of most RSS news feeds, but the purpose of them is not to give the full article, but just to give a tiny description of what the article is about. they want you to goto their site to read the whole article. although some places put the whole news in the RSS feed. just gotta find those places or deal with the tiny TINY descriptions. i wish they would give a little bit longer description, not just a sentance, maybe more like a paragraph.

ok , i have installed it and i still have no feeds ?

My request with this would be a mod to have each NewsFeed in one thread, not a new thread for each feed ...

Any ideas Slapyo ?

do you get any kind of error messages at all? is everything correct?

you set up a bot?
you set up scheduled task?
you installed everything properly?

what is the link to the rss feed you are using.

could be done ... would have to look into it. would probably just be a shift in the code and change a couple things. the title would be something like "news posted at {insert time}" then inside would have the news description and link for every news article. lemme look into it some.

yup yup

un-install it went back to the first one .... but that one only on forum feeds out of 4
