OK, so I set up the cron job exactly like the instructions told me to...

Add the following cron job:
Title: RSS Feeds Update
Day of the Week: *
Day of the Month: *
Hour: *
Minute: 1 - - -
Log Entries: Up to you
Filename: ./includes/cron/cron_ffrss.php

And I get a fatal error...

I just installed it for testing purposes and it works fine. Would be much better when it automatically detects the RSS settings though :)

Nice work still

Great script - really. Unfortunately, my users HATE it. :disappointed: Why? Some have the "new posts" url bookmarked, and now they're seeing RSS feed posts mixed in there. I wonder if there's a way to set up a subforum where new posts, basically the RSS feeds, won't show up in the "new posts" search.

In the cpnav_ffrss.xml file change:
to:
that should mve the option set down below the Vb Options

deffo gotta be considered for HOTM this one....

Did anyone get the cron job to work for them?

I received the same error today when I set up the cron job, Any Ideas???

I set up a Scheduled Task (I assume this is a cron job in vB) and a cron job in my server. IGN and Cnet.com's RSS feeds work fine. However Gamespot, IMDB, Wired.com and Reuters keep showing no updates. I'm pretty sure they update their news frequently though...

Okay common error, running a task in scheduled task manager returns an error, this is due to vBulletin software itself, it's the same for -any- cron job when run via the CP manually, look on vbulletin.com bug tracker for more info on that.

Vizionz, its all dependant really on how much information the feed contains, if the feed contains a whole story then you can extract that, if it doesn't, then i'm afraid not.

People getting errors with bbc rss feeds? Seems to work fine on mine with no problems, i'll do a little more research into it :)

yeah people are ahead of the game. if you could grab all there news there would be no need for people to go to there websites.
