RSS Robot Poster self created Feed
 

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I may be doing something out of the ordinary.

I am...

1). Creating an RSS compliant XML file from data in a local database.
and Overwriting it each time a new item is added to the database.
So basically it's a "here's what's new in the catalog" feed.
2). Saving the file on the server in a webfolder so it has a valid URL.
3). Using an RSS feed I created to read that file and create a thread from it.

It works great "First time".
But thereafter, it doesn't matter how much time has passed. It will not create a new post or add to the existing one.

From what I gather, this is due to the Forumrsslog table which keeps track of the ACTIVITY of RSS feeds whereas Forumssfeed is a database of the actual RSS feeds.

It appears that once a thread is created from an RSS feed, it will not change it again because it basically assumes the thread already exists.

The ONLY way around this I can find is to delete the entry for the transaction from the Forumrsslog file immediately before I create a new RSS entry from my other database. I can do this programmatically with ease so it's not a "manual" process, but it seems I should be able to keep adding to this thread with new items. Doing it this way will result in a new THREAD with every update.

I would like to just keep adding posts to the same thread.

Thank to all who reply

would you mind sharing what you have done so far? I'm interested in making the same.
