Ok I see i want that as well :)
I will think of adding that when I have sometime

Your error is somewaht weird. It is saying that "cms_node" table is missing which is a must table that comes with the suite package.

Maybe you need to create some demo article and see if that is created.

Also your version is 4.1.7 why you don't upgrade.

I actually upgraded the day that I had the first error, I am now running 4.1.9. I am getting the following error.

I have no idea what is going on here?!?

I think I figured it out, It is not recognizing my table prefix on my database tables.

Thats exactly what the problem was. I created a new database, imported the old tables without the prefix, and it works like a dream. Thats what the problem was. Will you let me know when you update it to recognize table prefix so that I can use it in the future?

Thanks, and I hope my errors help you in a positive way.

hmmm ok

I should take care of that.

Sure everyone hits installed button will be notified when this mod is updated.

Don't forget to hit install!!

Regards,

Good idea allowing rss feeds into the cms, this should be a core feature along with feeds into the blogs. The forums have had this option for ever.

Thanks for sharing

you are welcome

Sorry but one question. I have installed it. And then uninstalled it , for personal reason nothing to do with the software , but I am still seeing "RSS Feeds For CMS" on my left menu? How can I remove it? Thanks

*EDIT : In case someone else has the same question , what I did was to remove the two xml files from includes/xml , cpnav_rssfeeds_cms.xml and bitfield_rssfeeds_cms.xml.

Ok ..

Thanks for sharing

I have had this installed on my site for a few months. Lately it has started duplicating blog updates. I am slightly confused as to why this has started happening.

To Get Support:

• Hit installed link.
• You have to put your website link.
• If you include a screenshot you will get a better support.

Your "hit installed link" link does not work for me as I do not have permissions.

See http://www.officercadet.com/content.php/134-blogs

For example of multiple posting of same RSS.

Bump

How is this mod different than the default RSS feeds that come with VB4?

I installed it but it won't create a feed. What feed url am I suppose to use? It won't let me make one up.

Sorry for the delay

Go to my website http://vbfixer.com/
Get rssfeeds_cms_105.zip
upload and replace rssposter_cms.php no need to re-install the product.

If this fix it please reply so that everybody will share the new update.


The default wont send feeds to cms as articles this does.

Still same problem

You need to give it sometime! and it wont remove old duplicates if exist.

Well I left it on, and it managed to generate over 20 duplicates of the same content.

Anything created before will be duplicated here since it is using different type of post identity for each feed. What it should not duplicate is the feeds that is created after the update. I prefer to use new rich rss feed that is frequently updated for the test and swich off the old rssfeed source for a while.

So how do I stop it duplicating?

Even if it does not duplicate the newly created blog posts it will continue to duplicate all of the old ones.

It shouldn't if you are using a very active and daily updated feed and you are setting your feed to get the last (let us say 5) feeds so the old feeds will not listed.

I'm on the latest VB version and I do currently have an RSS feed for my CMS articles.

Realy!!!

am on 4.1.12 patch 1 which is the latest and can only select post as thread or announcment from the default "RSS Feed Manager".

:confused:

I have no issue with a coder placing a link in the footer or somewhere else in his MOD. In fact I openly support via cash to the many great folks making VB a more robust end item.

But you not only put a LINK in each and every rss article but you also inject your info into the meta description for each article.

So for me today that means over 20 links to your site, as well as 20 mentions of your data injected into my site. ( I've since deleted them) FAR too much of an imposition in my view, especially since some RSS feeds are simply a few words and a link placed right above your link making it appear as if your link is part of the RSS itself.

Why link in each each article ... why inject into each meta description? Why not a simple footer link?

Valid questions, not a critical denouncement. :up:

You should check the mod options first as you can switch it off.
It is also mentioned in the thread itself
I quote:
08-12-2011: ver 1.0.4

• - bug: Imagepreview is not shown on articles section.
• - Add option to remove backlink to our website from the articles.

Yup, seems I missed that.

My apologies, sir

Has this been used on 4.2?

Yes

Okay I tried installing but it didn't complete. I see the mod in the list of products, but I do not see the RSS for CMS in the admincp menu on the left.

Thanks,

Dean

Have you applied step No 2?

2. Upload all the contents of the "upload" directory to your forum root.

I actually upload the folder first. Then imported the xml.

Thanks, Dean

Don't upload the upload folder itself, instead upload its content

Gotcha. Okay completed that. Now when I click on RSS Feed for CMS manager or Add News RSS for CMS I get page not found.

Still you didn't upload all files to their proper locations

for this error rssposter_cms.php has to go to admincp directory

It's there. I just verified it.

Should I rerun the import ?

Okay I completly uninstalled it, then performed a clean install. The error I get now is "page not found" when I go to the RSS Feed For CMS Manager and New RSS Feed For CMS.

Any ideas?

Thanks alot, its works perfectly well on http://www.naijafinder.com/content/.
The rss feed is working well on Forum

I have a question, might seem silly.

But I set up an RSS feed for future Xbox 360 releases from Amazon. I've used this Mod and chosen the CMS as the target destination. So when i set up the RSS and it does it's stuff it creates 10 articles of the top future releases. Now my question is when it does it's thing again does it create new articles on top of those previous ones even if the content is the same?

Yes for the first Q

And it shouldn't if it has same content.
But you see it is using same mechnizm as vbulletin it will combine the title with the content hash it and log/save hashed value for the inserted article. So it wont insert that article again because it has same hashed value. Sometimes if the content is changed with even a space it might inserted again but that is rear.
