@vau7 ... my changes were to the rss_update.php and functions_newpost.php, that's it. i think the original coder had changes in other files. here is the post that includes the file that i downloaded and have been working with.

when i get home tonight i will throw together a package that will include everything that i have done and give the install. it will be a complete package.

just the code i have shown will not work just by itself. you have to have everything else installed properly. see the link i posted for the files that i used to install.

@rockergrrl ... that should work actually. i noticed you have 2 $rss_descriptions for each one. i think that's my fault for some code i posted for you. this should work because when inserting the data it uses the url tags to make the link.

PHP Code:

// change <b> tags
$rss_title = str_replace("<b>", "[b]", $rss_title);
$rss_description = str_replace("</b>", "[/b]", $rss_description);

// change <i> tags
$rss_title = str_replace("<i>", "[i]", $rss_title);
$rss_description = str_replace("</i>", "[/i]", $rss_description); 


@redlabour ... my changes in code only change the way the actual post is made. instead of manually inserting the post (original), my code uses vB's built in function to insert the post enabling searching, similiar threads, and correct post counts.

if you installed the code properly there is a link in the admincp to HACKS which has RSS News Bot under that. you can add, edit, or delete a bot. if you don't want to delete it, you can just turn it off. however, this is all part of the original code. i make no changes to the way the bot collects the data, or admincp changes, just how the data is posted.
