Thanks!

Not likely. I believe the old hack would fetch the rss feed every time someone would enter the forum.

For this one you have to set a cronjob.

Thanks

I get the same error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: html_entity_decode() in /home/www/web1/html/forum/includes/RSS/rss_update.php on line 70

This function is only present in PHP 4.3.0 and later, which version are you running?

You'll have to ask your host to upgrade to a more recent version of PHP.

Or if you follow the link to the php function I posted before, it shows this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
// For users prior to PHP 4.3.0 you may do this:

function unhtmlentities($string) 

{

   $trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);

   $trans_tbl = array_flip($trans_tbl);

   return strtr($string, $trans_tbl);

}



$c = unhtmlentities($a);



echo $c; // I'll "walk" the <b>dog</b> now



?>

If upgrading PHP is not possible for you then you could try to replace the html_entity_decode function using this example.

By the way, has anyone managed to fix the double post issues? I have these issues with both yahoo and bbc feeds.

there is a link to a post made by my news bot and it has ' in it ... but without the leading \, what is the link to the rss feed you are using?

i just uploaded a new version that fixes the bot subscribing to the threads. it should no longer subscribe to threads. the change was in rss_update.php so you can upload just that file if you want.

i can't see what is causing the problem with stories being posted multiple times. on mine i don't get the multiple stories, but every once in a while. the original author included a check in the program, but it is obviously not working properly. the code for this is in rss_update.php. i will look at it more.

I'm getting multiple Stories too. The feed that i'm using is :

http://www.lanacion.com.ar/herramientas/rss/index.asp?origen=2

If help, the fields: rdd_feed and rss_date in the thread table, are always empty :ermm:

I'll apreciate if you can help me to avoid duplications, triplications, etc... using the bot. I think that the filter most be based in the title of the feed only, but i dont know how fix it.

Thanx in advance !

ok, i think i have solved the problem with the duplicate posts. after acido mentioned that there were blank fields for the rss_feed and rss_date i realized that the vB function doesn't insert the new data.

so, to fix it i have uploaded v1.22 ... this includes the following changes:
- one more modification to functions_newpost.php (edit and upload)
- one fix to rss_update.php (just upload new one)

On the Yahoo feeds located at:

http://news.yahoo.com/rss

Is there anyway to specify a variable in the URL so you can limit the amount of headlines it grabs? I don't want 40-50 news items appearing in a forum -- I'd rather limit it to 5-10 a day..

that would be up to the feed itself if they were to accept something like that. i mean i guess you could go into the code and change the loop so that it didn't loop from:

0 -> # news articles
to
0 -> 10 (or 5)

Slapyo -- Where would I change that? Can you find where that it is and shoot it over to me?

All times are GMT. The time now is 09:14 AM.
