Nope, I tried that too. Besides, the variables tell which RSS feed to pick up if the site has multiple different topics of RSS feeds.

ambrosious 08-30-2004 12:58 AM
I've been using the feeds that are XML format, cause the others just dont seem to work. Also, put the "includes" function on your index.php. That helped too.

Putting the includes function in the index.php will increase the load of your board heavily.

4velocd: It would be nice to have an option to delete threads posted from the RSS Bot after X days.

What should i do to fix this?

RS25com 08-30-2004 08:17 PM
Is there any support for this? Am I missing something? I really like all the features, but cannot get it to work.

:(

DFence 08-30-2004 08:35 PM
I also have the "Error: There is no file located at http://xml.newsisfree.com/feeds/14/1614.xml" Problem. I've tried every possibility with a dozen seperate feeds.

No way. It still shows this error....

Has anyone solved this yet?

Thanks and regards
DFence

Also, fix the crontab to make it automatic, so you don't have to manually keep putting in the articlebot.php url for it to update.

Put in a command like this:

php -q /home/yourusername/public_html/forums/articlebot/articlebot.php
No it is not the feed. I used the other RSS hack and it works fine. That hack has other problems which is why I went to this one.

ideas?

Pagandream 08-31-2004 04:52 PM
hello,

sorry for my "ugly" English!

Is there a way that the Forum doesn't count the Post from the Bot? I made a Extra-Forum were Post will not be counted, Post from normal Users are not counted but the Post from the Bot are still counted. :(

bye

xug 08-31-2004 08:31 PM
I Installed this on V3.0.3 with the cronjob and everything seems to look fine except my date stamp, everything what is posted, even yesterday, has a post stamp of 'Today 12:00PM'

What could be wrong here?

Yes, and I've tried it with approximately 20 common Feeds. Everytime the same error. It's strange that some users don't have any problems and some have this error. It could be a server configuration problem but I've no idea where to start. I'm thinking about following next steps:

1. Perhaps one of the usere where this hack works fine can provide me with a phpinfo() File of his server to compare with mine.

2. I'll try to enter one RSS Feed manually into the database to specify the problem if it's even server related or is there a problem with the Hack Administration File.

Unfortunately I can't do it until this evening (Swiss Time :)) because I don't have ftp access at work.

I really think this is a very great hack and would be glad if we can localize and solve this problem as soon as possible!

regards
DFence

roundhost 09-01-2004 07:07 AM
Well i still cant get the cron to let it work so i have to click it manually :( It has a headers allready sent problem! :(

TCB 09-01-2004 09:56 AM
This really is one amazing hack! Thanks a million :D

Currently the <title>, <description> and <link> are shown in the thread, but is it also possible to show extra fields, or the manually add the standard thread that is used to parse the data in?

RS25com 09-02-2004 10:52 AM
I am still getting this error:

Error: There is no file located at http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/c...max&format=rss
I believe this issue has not been fully addressed yet. Can anyone shed some light or should I just ditch this and find something else?

Although I realize no one is innovating on this script, I hope there is a chance.
Yep, my members officially started complaining today and thus, PaperBoy (the Articlebot) became no more.

I would like to re-enabled this, but until features like above are added, I just can't do it.

Great, great hack though.

No one has already contacted me. Please can someone who's article bot installation is running well provide me with a phpinfo(); output of his server to compare with mine?

Doesn't change anything. I do have the rss url in the database but nothing happens at all. even with manually calling articlebot.php...

ambrosious 09-03-2004 11:39 PM
**clicks uninstall**

RS25com 09-04-2004 05:13 PM
Yes, I am still waiting for support... otherwise I'll have to uninstall as well. Too bad, it seems like an excellent script otherwise. :(

N00BIE 09-05-2004 06:40 AM
** Also Uninstalls **

venomx 09-05-2004 07:52 AM
Small thing I dont like... For some reason the acrticle bots drop down in the admincp is above the one forthe vb options... I will change this next time I am in the ftp but just wanted to let others know if they are just now installing this....

venomx 09-05-2004 08:04 AM
Doh this isnt working and I dont get an error..... :(
Even if I load articlebot.php in IE nothing.. :(
If someone has a good RSS feed url can you post it please so I can see if thats the problem...

venomx 09-05-2004 08:40 AM
Wow I Edited the articlebot.php to remove the last / from my absolute server path to forums, e.g. /home/cjohn/public_html/forums instead of /home/cjohn/public_html/forums/ and set the bot to get the new news every one minute and tried the articlebot.php in IE and it worked!

Only one problem. I use uCash/uShop and I have it set to pay 1 point per post and it was not paying the bot for it BUT did pay the bot for the thread view when I viewed it....

Post counts/views all seem fine...

Wish UCash had a way of not paying certain usergroups.. :(

roundhost 09-05-2004 11:22 AM
It WAS working great, posted fine for a few days, then THIS HAPPENED:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /home/vbforum/public_html/includes/init.php on line 517

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/vbforum/public_html/includes/init.php
Line: 517

I use Vbulletin 3.0.3.

WHAT TO DO?????

Holidazed 09-05-2004 01:23 PM
**Also clicks uninstall**

venomx 09-05-2004 07:39 PM
Hmmm the last post on the forum home isnt updated.. :(

Beermonster 09-06-2004 09:57 AM
I couldn't get it to post, I think the problem was with the Post Icon, all mine had the No1. so I gave them all new numbers and it seems to work now :)

[high]* Beermonster clicks install[/high]

venomx 09-06-2004 10:32 AM
Anyone else that got it to work on VB3.0.3 having the same problem as me?
I have 1 bot pulling Yahoos feed. It posts 3 threads every 7 hours.

Example:
On the forum home it says yahoo First News title

But if you open that forum the last one posted is yahoo 3rd news title.

we_are_borg 09-06-2004 03:14 PM
<font color="Red">We are Borg clicks uninstall</font>

Erwin 09-08-2004 11:12 AM
Mmm... doesn't work.

To undo the database changes, run these queries:

PHP Code:
DROP table `articlebot`;
 
DROP table `articlebot_rss`;
 
DROP table `articlebot_rss_cache`;
 
ALTER table `thread` DROP `is_rss`; 

Zoints 09-09-2004 03:22 AM
Fixed. NM :)

Megareus Rex 09-09-2004 03:53 AM
** uninstalls **

The support for this hack is crap. Pure, utter crap. The damn thing STILL refuses to even let me set RSS feeds to the bots.

venomx 09-09-2004 04:32 AM
Works great here just one small problem thats really not wortth uninstalling.

Natch 09-09-2004 05:40 AM
I just love the reaction of these people who suffer from PICNIC issues, and then compain that it's an issue related to the coder, not the user ...

i got rid of all the yahoo rss feeds, which was the problem i thought, and i got this.

i'm pretty sure velocd isnt giving support for the hack, so someone else please help.

venomx 09-09-2004 10:00 PM
PICNIC issues?


Also I use this feed...
http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories

Works wonders. Just wish the forumhome updated right

Natch 09-09-2004 10:49 PM
PICNIC, probelm in chair, not in computer.

FYI: I have this working, no problems with Slashdot feeds, and the AListApart feed... I have disabled the finding of the feed items in the search cos my members were getting annoyed at having to browse thru News items to find posts, and they don't appear on my portal for the same reason, but this is be my choice.

I haven't had a problem with this - if there is a problem with a particular type of feed, then mayube it's a feed unsupported by Magpie (as outlined by VeloCD earlier in the thread)...

Additionally, it's useful if anyone is going to support this if they can be told what feeds are and are not working ...

venomx - what problems are you having with it?

venomx 09-09-2004 11:27 PM
I have it set to check every 7 hours for new news. Then post a max of 5 of them.

It posts show up like this when I open that forum....
[Yahoo] Kerry Acts to Refocus Iraq Debate (washingtonpost.com)
[Yahoo] Bush Plan Draws on Advice of 9/11 Panel (washingtonpost.com)
[Yahoo] U.S. Hid Dozens of Iraqi Prisoners, Investigators Say (Reuters)
[Yahoo] U.S. Forces on Offensive in Iraq, Taunted by Al Qaeda (Reuters)

When I view the homepage it says
[Yahoo] U.S. Forces on Offensive in Iraq, Taunted by Al Qaeda (Reuters)
was the last post made when it wasnt... The Kerry one was the last post...
Nothing major really...

Natch 09-09-2004 11:53 PM
I tried to look into your website, but it linked to a search page - can you link me to the site so I can see the issue ?

venomx 09-09-2004 11:58 PM
I PM'ed the link to you so you can look. The site is way from being done and I am trying to keep people from visiting it. :)
