Is there any way you can keep the bots posts from not being counted?? I would also like to keep the bot out of statistics??? Is this possible???

Thanks

I think if you read all 40(!) of the pages in this thread, somebody mentions that RichieBoy. But I could be wrong.....Try a thread search.

So, I suggest that people begin with a known good feed and import to a test forum to minimize the probability of error.

I posted a thread awhile back to help set up the cron and use a known good feed.

If you try to customize it completely the moment you install it, chances are good that it will not work, and you will not be able to figure out why.

1. Follow the instructions for setup exactly. Don't leave out any steps and make sure your paths are right.
2. Try using this cron and this feed:

I am having a problem with this hack. Currently the feed I am trying to use includes an ampersand.

I input:

http://www.example.com/rssfeed.cfm?m=10&s=255

However the hack converts this to:

http://www.example.com/rssfeed.cfm?m=10&s=255

Obviously (for anyone who knows about query strings), this does not work. The hack is encoding the ampersand, and that doesn't fly. While ampersands should be encoded when displayed in a browser (for W3C standards) they should not be encoded when accesed (browsers unencode the & and turn it into a plain & when viewed).

I would appreciate any help in fixing this hack to not encode ampersands. I'm considering making a mod_rewrite rule for this as a work around, but I would prefer to make this work.

Thanks!

PS. If you're having problems with your articlebot's formattting, inserting wacked looking foreign characters in some places, etc, you can replace the magpie RSS files from the hack download with the updated ones from here. I did that and my problems with wierd looking characters magically dissapeared. The upgrade is seamless, and you don't need to change anything (that I have yet encountered) in articlebot.php, etc.

Try this, it worked for me.

Now..is there a way that when someone replies to a thread the bot made it moves to another forum?

Like say you set up the news to go to a sub forum and when someone goes in and replies it goes into the the regular forum. So people can see the ones that people have replied to.

If so, it would be a different hack. The bot doesn't read the forum.

Simple question the standard vb feeds... is this a major upgrade to it?

Thanks.

No, I mean if the thread that the bot makes gets a reply the thread moves out of the sub forum (automatically) and into a discussion forum so others could reply to it without it getting lost.

Without say a mod or admin moving the threads into the other forum.
