Does anyone know how to get the Slashdot Feed to work? I haven't seen anyone who has been able to.

Does this work yet on 3.5.2?

If you mean "worked" as in functioned as designed, it has never worked.

Yes, that is what I am suggesting. I installed ArticleBot in place of this and I have been so much happier since.

ArticleBot doesn't work well for me at all; this one does a much better IMHO and yes, I'm running 3.5.2 so it's fine. The fatal error I had before had to be due to a bad RSS feed since I couldn't find anything else wrong with it and works flawlessly since I removed the suspect feed.

how DO you uninstall this? and any recommendations for the best transition from this to articlebot?

I was just going to install articlebot, get that running, THEN uninstall this so as to have no gap in feed service. is that a bad idea?

I have just installed it on my vB 3.5.2 and it seems to work fine, except for posting, it just doesn't seem to work, when I QR it doesn't show up in AJAX and when I reload the post, my post is like before the article, when I reply to somebody's post in that one, mine goes under his???

can anybody help with this?

uninstalled due to the massive amounts of duplicates.

had no probs with the cron job btw.

everytime i try to update my feed it shows this

Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_thread_firstpost in /includes/class_dm.php on line 758

and also when i was able to post it wouldn't show the content of the post, just the title and in the actual post it would say description.

I get this error also on 3.5.2, even with cURL enabled. My host directed me to this page to see "how they handle it".

Is there anything further I need to do to this hack to take advantage of cURL?

I just installed the plugin today and get the same error message. I'm new to RSS so I'm just attempting to duplicate the BBC News sample above.

Any ideas? Thanks. -- Rik
