Rssfeeds for cms 4 VB4
 

vbfixer.com

Current version:
1.0.4


Review:
This mod allows VB4 owners to easily add an Rssfeed from you admincp where it has the option to target cms as a destination of the feeds. This mod is build and tested on 4.1.5 so it should work on this version or any versions afterwards. But it is not supported for any version after 4.1.8.

I build this mod because a lot of people where asking for it in several post here and there.

I tried my best to avoid file replacing in your forum so you will have no trouble when upgrading for newer vbulletin version so no worries:).

How much info will this pull into an article ?

This not related to the mod itself but to answer you question: that depends on how much information you want. More feeds more info. Also if you use for example
you will get short description of the feeds it self
But if you used
You will pull all the feed content

Again this depends on the source itself

Data Base error in the Admin CP when clicking on:
RSS Feed for CMS Manager:

And yes I had uploaded every file in the Upload folder to the correct place/places.

Yes you are right

I forget to insert this column in the product

I will update it within an hour

Please let us know once you have updated it.

Awaiting update as well looking forward to this mod =)

Ok done

Please try it now and let me know how it goes

If you uploaded the files before no need to upload it again the changes only in the produc xml installation file. So just uninstall the old product and install the new one.

Please let me know once you try it

I cant get it to work.

when trying manually I get this message

if i go to Scheduled Task Manager and try to run it that way i get this message

You need to upgrade your vbulletin version to 4.1.5 or higher

thanks for your reply
im at 4.1.6

ok one moment please I will check it out

ok

open "rssposter_cms.php" in include/cron directory

find

replace it with
or upload the files from the thread after I update the mod for ver 1.0.2

I havent been able to get this to work yet when i try to pull content nothing happens. I tried with multiple rss feeds.

Also is there anyway to do this for category and not just the section?

No worries Just give it sometime maybe there is no new feeds; it will work.
Or add new feed as test from new high quality source.

For category thing not on this version but may be in the next update.

Give it sometime try it and let us know how it goes

If you still have trouble try to disable "RSS Poster Robot" task



Updated
Ok I found a nother bug:
When setting your feed you need to set the forum name to any forum it does not matter as it will be inserted as an article in the section you choose.
This is a temporary overcome until I update the mod.

Looks like this was the problem. Works fine now. The only thing now is I wish this mod would do this for categories as it wont really be useful for me until then.

You can get the last update from my website at
http://vbfixer.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1840

this is an awesome mod. Nominated for mod of the month.

I filled out the form on your site for a branding free version, hope to hear from you soon

What is the website address you entered in the order form?

Is there a way to moderate the feed into the cms?

Yes you can set it to not publish.

Is this possible to make a forum as destination for feed?

of course

you set the forum name then select post item as thread

Thank you very much for the nice Mod and your kind help. It saves me a lot of time to build content for my site

All i get in ACP is a 404 error when clicking on the rss on cms link.

I'm on 4.1.5

:)
This means you didn't upload all the files to their correct places

Its not letting me import the product, says "Invalid File Specified"

I also notice there's a database error:

Database error in vBulletin 4.1.7:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT rssfeed.*, user.username, forum.title AS forumtitle, sections.title AS sectiontitle
FROM rssfeed AS rssfeed
LEFT JOIN user AS user ON(user.userid = rssfeed.userid)
LEFT JOIN forum AS forum ON(forum.forumid = rssfeed.forumid)
LEFT JOIN cms_nodeinfo AS sections ON(sections.nodeid = rssfeed.sectionid)
ORDER BY rssfeed.title;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'rssfeed.sectionid' in 'on clause'
Error Number : 1054

If you don't install the product you will get database error

Just follow the installation steps

I followed these directions:

1. Download plugin and unzip.
2. Upload all the contents of the "upload" directory to your forum root.
3. Login to your vBulletin admincp.
4. Open "Plugins & Products", and go to "Manage Products".
5. Click on "[Add/Import Product]".
6. Import the XML file that you download. Make sure you set "allow overwrite" to "yes" when updating.
7. After installing go to your admincp you will find "RSS Feeds For CMS"
use it to add you rssfeeds for cms and select "Post Items as Articles" and set the target section of the article.

more details
Import the Rssfeeds_cms_product_1.0.3.xml file through your Acp->Plugins & Products->Manage Products->[Add/Import Product]->EITHER upload the XML file from your computer. Click the browse button, locate the mod xml file (Rssfeeds_cms_product_1.0.3.xml) and hit the Import button. This file is located outside the upload folder

I dont know if its this product, or just how VB works, but it is grapping feeds and then grapping the same feeds again, which results in duplicate articles. Is there a way to make it not grap the same content twice?

Its not the rss feeds im fetching that have duplicate content, but when the rss for cms bot goes to the rss feed, it will take feeds that it already posted and post them again

Could you please disable the "RSS Poster Robot" task and let us know if that fix it

thank you for this mod! :)

The "RSS Poster Robot (CMS)", disable that? Then run it manually?

Thanks for your reply

No no no

Not "RSS Poster Robot (CMS)" task

The one to disable is "RSS Poster Robot " task

Will there be support so I could add 3 RSS feeds and each goes to its own section?
EDIT:
nvrmnd :D

you figured it out :cool:

OK, I already had that disabled
