Thank you, zCarot! I'm looking forward to adding this mod to my forum :)

Hi,

I just installed this but the problem is that different karakters are not shown correctly.. How can we help this.. ? See the Turkish karakters are shown with a ?. Somehow we can prevent this.

Example:

?talya'n?n önde gelen gazetelerinden Corriere dello Sport, Milli oyuncu Arda Turan'?n ?talyan ekibi Juventus'un da transfer listesine girdi?ini iddia etti.

h?rs?zlardan biri gürültü yapt??? gerekçesiyle arkada??na tokat att?,

I've been using this excellent mod, but when I upgraded to vBulletin 3.7.2 yesterday it went away, not even appearing in the products list. I downloaded the mod again, made the template edits, and tried to import the xml file.

When I try to import it I get a SQL error:
I am at a loss as to how to get it going again and any help would be appreciated.

just started testing v3.7.2 on my dev server, first mod installed from the base install... works flawlessly!

Many Thanks!

I don't think that this problem have arisen because of this module.
Speak with technical support on vbulletin.com
Open .xml file and find:

Code:

---

<installcode><![CDATA[$vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "rssfeed ADD threadid INT(11) UNSIGNED NOT NULL");]]></installcode>

---

replace to

Code:

---

<installcode />

<font color="DarkSlateBlue">v0.5.2 (2008/06/28)
- FIXED: "Cannot pass parameter 2 by reference" if you choose "Update dateline of old post"</font>

I will install this when you get an option to disable the "More" button and include EVERYTHING in the post.

Thanks so much! I had to to the same thing with "tu_maxtime" but that was easy to figure out based on your reply.

I appreciate the mod and I appreciate the helpful response.

This is a great mod!

it will work on 3.7.2?

I have not tested, but why not?</font>

Great idea for a hack!

Edit: some problems I've encountered:

should actually be "Add BEFORE:" or you get very weird results. =P (at least on 3.7.2)

and in the AdminCP, you have the option:
but no option to sticky the thread.

Also it seems that the first title in the post is cut off (only the description shows). I don't know if that's only in the very first post or if it happens with every new post yet though.

Maybe a stupid qeustion. But where can i find the settings in the admincp for this mod ?

Nevermind i had some cach problems...

It ran once then even though it say's itss running its doing nothing....no threads updating !! or new ones being created so I'm lost here

I've found in the task log that even though I keep telling it to run its not actually running the cron. !!

Is there a way of getting the WHOLE list of the RSS Feed. VB only passes the new or changed topics. As i want to read a complete Top Ten list i'm getting always gaps in the numeration.

Is it possible to implement this in this hack as an additional function?

I love this mod! use it to bring RSS feed from eBay with my affiliate code. It works find on one site (vB 3.6 still); but just installed it on another site (3.7) and work fine, except the content of each message is posted to the right! (see attached).

I not sure if the problem is
1. Could be the nature of the feed from eBay (I can change what options is provided by eBay - but that is a lot of leg work and would rather get some quick input before going through that process)

2. Could be a problem with the skin? (other posts on the forum that come via RSS and are posted as new thread are not a problem - but they also not from eBay)

3. Did I do something wrong with this mod?

Anyone with an idea would be much appreciated.

I probably should ask that the above message be deleted to avoid making a fool of myself, but then others might have the same problem....

I set the posts to moderate first as there is some rubbish on ebay. The posts look normal after I approved them!. .... talk about a duh! moment.

zCarot, thanks for this, duly installed.

However, in the AdminCP / RSS Feed Manager, I select "Post items as posts", enter all the details, click save..

All the details are still there, except it reverts to the option "Post items as threads" instead., and just wont save my choice there.

Any ideas?

Ignore that, I've just found the answer, I missed one of the edits. (Adding the case 'post': line )

Great idea!! : )

great mod. Installed

in vBulletin 3.7.0 the option voice in Vbulletin Option doesn't appear.
why?

I found not 'threadid' includes\class_dm_rssfeed.php in Version 3.8.0 Beta 1.

how did I miss this one???? excellent, will be installing, Thanks.

doesnt work on 3.8.0 b3

You are not expect to found it there since the installation for 0.5.x is:

When I run the tast I get that error

Works just fine in 3.8.0 RC1.

For the Thread ID:

What do I put in there? Just the number or the whole url link?

I have tried all three options and it hasn't worked :(

nice work zcarot

I've just installed it and it appears to be working on the tests I've done so far!

I wonder if you could just clarify something for me. I'm hoping that this mod may facilitate me on a project I'm just about to start on.

Is it possible to route the input to different threads, or posts within the same threads, depending on information within the RSS feed itself (security isn't an issue, I'll be in control of the RSS feed myself ;-) )

For example the RSS feed might have sports news:
Item 1: English Football
Item 2: Darts
Item 3: Cricket
Item 4: American Football

would it be possible so that the feeds would be routed as follows:

1) Post in thread on English Football
2) Post in thread on Other Sports
3) Post in thread on Other Sports
4) Post in thread on American Sports

Not sure if that is clear - basically I'd like to be able to use information in the feed itself to determine which thread the post is made to?

If it isn't possible at present and it isn't a major task, could you give me a pointer as to where I'd need to start looking to modify the code?

Many thanks

nice, but when I tryo to import in 3.8.0 RC2, I get the following message and I can't go ahead with installing the product:
The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 3.8.0 Release Candidate 2 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.5.999 / Incompatible with 3.7.999 and greater)

I was able to get it to work by changing dependencies in the xml file :D

thanks, i did it too.
