My site is currently very small, as it is a private site for me and about 15 other friends. I set each feed to update every 5 minutes. The cron runs every 15 minutes.

My site is still horribly slow, like 5 minutes to load. Please help.

Please follow what I've already recommended. 1) Set your feed refreshes much higher. For a site that small, I'd go to at least 120 minutes. 2) Check each feed to make sure that each url is still valid.

Once you do that, if abouttoday.php still loads slowly, send me an vb admin login and password (via PM) and I'll check it out.

Are you sure that all the product files have been uploaded? Otherwise, I'm a stumped on this one. Can you PM me a vb admin login and password along with your site URL?

Oh, I thought you meant increase the frequency. I'll give this a try. Thanks for your quick support!

Be sure to check the validity of each feed too! Also, you may want to stagger the frequency. For example, if you have an news source that is updated often, set that to 60 minutes. If you have another site that is updated only daily, set that to a higher number, like 360 or so minutes.

In my next release, I'll probably only have feeds updated via scheduled tasks so that user's don't notice any delay in these kinds of situations.

Your solution helped, but I still see it going slow sometime and faster at others. I'll tinker around with the settings a bit more.

A scheduled task would be awesome. Thanks for this great hack!

Can you please explain to me what " How many rows across for $myfeeds variable? " means exactly? Im not good with code talk...lol....ive read the dewcription but im still confused as to what that means. Thanks.

I installed you RSS feed mod & everything works beutifully, Im VERY pleased with your work. I ran into one problem tho & was wondering if you could help me with it. Basically, everything works great until I try to create a thread from the feed itself to open a discussion in the forums. I end up getting this error:


when I go to line 3 of that php file it reads:


I contacted VisionScripts about the error & they asked me to contact the coder of the hack first so thats what Im doing. Thanks alot for any info.

The $myfeeds variables let you place summary information from your RSS feeds on ANY page and ANY place you want if that page is vb powered (ie global.php is called). Here is a good example of what you can do: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=215

I really should have called that "columns" across. If you set it to two and you have two feeds assigned to $myfeeds, you'd get this:

feed1 feed2

If you had it set to 1, you'd get:

feed1
feed2

Well, I gotta say VisionScripts is passing the buck. I don't know what the product is but apparently they've had you change a vbulletin file. The create threads feature in abouttoday uses the datamanager. For it to fail, it sounds like you've modified (or the VisionScript program) has modified a file used to create threads.

I'm afraid the error clearly belongs to them, as it is being caused by a call to one of their functions (verify_bs_opponent). What you need to find out is what file contains the function that is being called, then I can help you with placing an include for that file.
