Sure here's what I did:

In the section that Could-Warrior mentioned:

if ($jitemheadline != "") {

I added this to limit the headlines to within one hour of the script executing:

$currenttime=time();
$articletime=strtotime($jitemextractiontime);
if ($articletime < ($currenttime - 3600))
continue;

I added this to limit the duplicate headlines:

$result=$DB_site->query("SELECT threadid FROM thread WHERE title LIKE '".addslashes($jitemheadline)."' ");
if ($DB_site->num_rows($result) > 0)
continue;

Lastly, I moved all of this: (which is all Cloud-Warrior's original code with a small change to the VALUES list to make the title of the article appear as the thread subject)

else {
$jmessage .= "[*] ".$jitemheadline."\n";
$jmessage .= "($jitemsource, $jitemextractiontime) \n";
$jsubject = urlencode($jitemheadline);
$jmessage = ereg_replace("INSERTTITLE", "$jsubject", $jmessage);
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO thread (threadid,title,lastpost,forumid,open,replycount,p ostusername,postuserid,lastposter,dateline,iconid, visible,attach) VALUES (NULL,'".addslashes($jitemheadline)."','".time()." ','$jforum','1','0','".addslashes($jfromwho)."','0 ','".addslashes($jfromwho)."','".time()."','$jicon id','1','0')");
$jthreadid=$DB_site->insert_id();
$jmessage = ereg_replace("INSERTTHREADID", "$jthreadid", $jmessage);
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO post (postid,threadid,title,username,userid,dateline,at tachmentid,pagetext,allowsmilie,showsignature,ipad dress,iconid,visible) VALUES (NULL,'$jthreadid','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars( "$jusername"))."','".addslashes($jfromwho)."','0', '".time()."','0','".addslashes($jmessage)."','0',' ','','0','1')");
$jmessage = NULL;
$jforuminfo=getforuminfo($jforum);
$DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET replycount=replycount+1,threadcount=threadcount+1, lastpost='".time()."',lastposter='".addslashes($jf romwho)."' WHERE forumid IN ($jforuminfo[parentlist])");
}
}
Changes Summary:

Bascially added "$jmessage=NULL;" to force only one link per thread.

I commented out all the code right below the "foreach" loop since I've moved it into the loop.

Added the $jitemheadline as the threadtitle vs the one that is created by Cloud-Warriors original.

Well, that's what I did. It should be pretty easy to limit headlines to a set number. Just add a counter and increment each time the loop goes and check for a conditon where it has reached your number of headlines and break ouyt of the loop.

I hope this makes sense. I haven't coded since my college days. The good old days of double pointers, malloc, etc. :laugh:
