Well, I got a new RSS post at 6am on the dot, and I see in the scheduled tasks log that the RSS feed is updating on time... perhaps the RSS feed simply didn't update until then [ though it is the yahoo politics one ]?

Seems like there should have been something from ~10:30pm to 6am, though..

Remember, since the updates are via the vbulletin scheduled tasks, they only run if you have activity on the board. So, if you are using a test board or a board with low activity, the feeds may not update as often as you think they will. I'm looking at creating a file you can run from cron but don't have it ready yet.

One question, In the automated created thread there is an image atop of the summary that's not showing up. When properties are clicked, I get:

Protocol: HTTP

Address: /forums/admincp/

Dimensions: 28 x 30

Is this a missing image? Why does it call for my admincp folder?

Please see here: http://rant-rave.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8124

When the feed is created into a thread, any html img tags are converted into bbcode IMG tags. I find that the feed image tags tend to contain dynamic url's. Unless you have set vbulletin to allow dynamic img tags (admincp -> vbulletin options -> Message Posting and Editing Options -> Allow Dynamic URL for IMG Tags), vbulletin will convert the dymanic bbcode IMG tags to bbcode URL tags. The bad thing is ... that converion from an <img> tag to the bbcode url tag doesn't seem to work well.

In admincp>abouttoday>settings> How many rows across for $myfeeds variable? I put 2 in that field.

Include this Feed in $myfeeds variable? Each feed I have added yes to.

Yet they still appear in today events forum home as one column.

The $myfeeds variables will not change how the feeds show on forum home. That's not there purpose. There purpose is to allow you to create a variable (that contains the feed information) that you can then place anywhere on your site.

No problem, that's how we all learn. Sometimes, the beginner questions help me re-think how to make the product better.

For more detailed information on using the $myfeeds variables, I recommend reading and trying what is detailed in these three posts:

If you get that error when you add a feed in admincp, that means there is a problem with the feed. You should delete it and readd it. If you still get that error, there is something wrong with the feed. You can post the feed url here if you want me to look at it.

When the feeds are set to zero, that means they think they've never been updated so they will update immediately.

sorry, no way to modify that output right now. (well, you could modify the php files, but I don't recommend that.)
