AHHH!!!

I get it now!

(no wonder it wasn't working exactly right!)

Many thanks!
:up:

I installed this but nothing changed in my admin cp... RSS Feed Manager looks exactly the same- no options were added in vbulletin options- how do I use this? :confused:

OK, I made the file edits and now it works...

I thank the coder very much for this mod- this should really be a built in option in vBulletin which I think is about the highest compliment you could give a developer... but that said I have to take issue with the documentation for this mod... It's confusing and misleading.

In the top post it clearly says if you are using version > 0.5 (and this is 0.5.3) then all you need to do was upload the XML product- but in fact you have to make file edits contained in the install text file... That file lists this install as "average" but this is multiple edits to 3 different files in 3 different directories- this is the most file edits I've ever had to make for a vBulletin mod- it's still worth it but I wish the instructions were a little clearer and a little more open/honest.

Actually, it says if you are doing an Update, then all you have to do is upload the new file. It tells you to read the ReadMe text file for installation instructions.

so it does... :o

I had it working for 4.0.6, but it's not working anymore on 4.0.7

There were file edits needed for this mod, you have to remake the edits every time you upgrade.

Ah, I feel stupid now. Thanks.

The plugin itself works fine but I'm constantly getting duplicate posts. Any reason?

I am having the same issue as this unanswered post:

I take an RSS feed from my chat and turn it into posts for everyone to read later of for those who are blocked from the chat. But because the shortest RSS feed is 10 minutes, there may be 10 to 20 chats in between each RSS call to the chat feed. This results in out of sequence posts.

For example:

First RSS check and posted in this order:
Chat Message 11
Chat Message 10
Chat Message 9
Chat Message 8
Chat Message 7
Chat Message 6
Chat Message 5
Chat Message 4
Chat Message 3
Chat Message 2
Chat Message 1

Next RSS check and posted in this order:
Chat Message 22
Chat Message 21
Chat Message 20
Chat Message 19
Chat Message 18
Chat Message 17
Chat Message 16
Chat Message 15
Chat Message 14
Chat Message 13
Chat Message 12

This results in the posts out of sequence.

Is there anyway to reverse the posting, so instead of starting at the "top" of the RSS feed and working down through it, it could start at the bottom and work up... sort of reversing the loop?

Thanks. It does work well except for this.
