dan, that is a rdf feed not a rss feed. try article bot, it is located in the integration forum. it does rdf i think.

Is there any way, to make it accept 287 character, RSS addresses in the source box. Currently it is limiting me to 148. Don't ask about the long feed, it is one of those super configurable ones.

How would I do this?

i'm not sure. i only made changes to the script and still don't know all the ins and outs about it. i do know that article bot is alot more advanced in what it does as compared to this bot.

Ignore this now, I sorted it by editing the field in phpMyAdmin

oh ok cool ... ;) glad you got it working the way you want.

Iv'e installed but do not get anything happening....

If I run the scheduled task manually its just says rss.php and nohing else.

running php 4.3.4 and setup the forum ID and user all OK trying to use RSS Feed URL: http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline...rld/rss091.xml

Any ideas? Would love to get this running....

DOn't worry fixed it - for anyone else just check you are putting the user ID NUMBER and not the Users name when you add a new bot :)

I had the same issue with BBC where it grabs the first set of headlines when you first run it but will bot update, no idea why though.

MoreOver Feeds aren't working for me... Any idea why?

TheRegister feed wroked then I moved to a new sub-forum and they didn't update in here when I ran the cron..?

One minor suggestion....

adv_portal_news_archivebits ends up spitting out a line like this:

I'm concerned about the breaks in the title parameter. That's causing some validation problems.

In rss_update.php, I found this:
If I pull out the three breaks, is that going to cause problems elsewhere?
