If you were to go through and pull out advertisements you would have to edit the code in which case it would be for that specific feed only and would work for only that feed.

bitg, i'm not exactly sure. what rss feeds are you using. i would suggest that you goto the article bot which provides many more options but does the same thing.

Hi All,
ive read through this thread, but am no nearer finding a solution

my php is 4.3+ ive installed without any errors showing

ive added a bot, and scheduled for every 59 mins, allocated forum id & News user id

all goes fine until i manually select "run now" in sshedule tasks

all im shown is:

and

no other errors appear in the admin area, ive even done the fix for users using a lower spec of php and still doesnt work...

can anyone throw some light>?

the RSS im wanting to use, and have set up is:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline...rld/rss091.xml

any assist with this to get it working would be gr8 :-)

Works perfect :)

<< couldnt get it to work, so used another, and that worked first time :tired: :-)

First of all you have set your cron to check every 0 minutes try setting it to 59

Also I'm the same as you some feeds work and some don't, I'm just getting no posts from them, anyone else have a problem with it?

Installed and it's working great. :)

Ok I run VB3.0.3 and tried Article Bot and it works fine except on the forum home it doesnt updat the Last Post field. Does this hack have the same problem?

it might be how article bot inserts the post. article bot may insert the post manually...but this bot will use vB's function to make a new post. however i would still go with article bot because it offers many more features than this one. make the suggestion to the article bot dev.

My scheduled task is called rss.php it has everything that it should have,the filename is ./rss.php

and when i run it, all i get is a message saying:

rss.php

and no post in the forum i setup the bots to post in... help, i use 3.0.2 and i dotn know how to check my php version

If I try to run the scheduled task I all I get is the name of my Scheduled task and nothing that says "Done".

If I try to bring up the rss.php file it's just a blank page.

I don't see any errors generated anywhere.
