i didn't do anything with the \' problem. i don't know what is causing that. i looked at your feed and it looks just like the one i use from yahoo. however, i do not have that problem in my code.

i looked and this seems to be the culprit

because in the function to insert the post it uses addslashes() ... so i think it is putting \\' instead of \' like it should. then it removes the \ and leaves the trailing \' ... i have just uploaded a new 1.22 try that one. if you don't want to download it. all i did was remove those 2 lines of code from the rss_update.php file.

hhhmm

All i get when running the task is this

rss.php

ChannelData($leftOvers,$x); } return; } /* * void parse ( string data ) */ function parse($data="") { $channels = $this->parseChannels($data); if(empty($channels)) { return; } $this->parseItems($channels); return; } /* * Finito */ } ?>nito */ } ?>d); } } } } // // ------------------------------ // End of RSS News Hack ?> $post['signature'] = true; $post['emailupdate'] = 9999; $post['title'] = $rss_title; $post['message'] = $rss_description; $post['poststarttime'] = TIMENOW; $post['rss_date'] = $rss_dateline; $post['posthash'] = md5($post['poststarttime'] . $bbuserinfo['userid'] . $bbuserinfo['salt']); // build the thread build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, array(), 0, $post, $errors, $rss_userid); } } } } // // ------------------------------ // End of RSS News Hack ?>

now :(

any help, whats going on?

ok tar ..

I just had a play in the "Replacement Variable Manager" and added a new one to replace \' with ' and it seems to work :) .. but I'll also try your way too ..

:)

Just tried your latest change .. and it works :)

Also the duplicate problem has gone too it seems ..

Cheers ,., :D

@SnowBot ... are you in the scheduled tasks telling the script to run right now? or are you just letting it run on it's own? or are you just loading the rss.php file? i will look and see what i can find, but that code is from the original author and i haven't made any changes to it at all. i will see if i can find something. have you tried downloading the new version 1.22 and uploading that, overwriting all previous rss files?

@Slave ... i just uploaded a new fix for your problem. since i am not having the same problem on my machine i don't know if it works or not. could you try it out. you will have to remove your replacement variable for \' to see if it works. i think it will though, i think it was doubling up the \'s so it had \\' instead of \' like it should have.

Yeah .. tried it .. and it works .. :)

ok good to know! thanks!

Yes this is from the task manager, when i hit the Run Task now button to see if its all working i get this.

I overwritten all the 1.21 files with the new 1.22 ones. NO post nothing :(

heh .. just installing it to my live forums now .. :)

i assume you have made a bot and given it the proper user id, forum id, and rss fed url?

what is the feed you are trying to use?
