[v1.6] Inferno RSS Forum Feeds Technology

This hack was made purely by request, and the fact IPB will have a similar system as default functionality, i wouldn't like them to have a upper hand to vbulletin

v1.5 Updates:
- Auto detect RSS settings system
- Forum stats rebuilt correctly (last post info)

v1.6 Updates:
- Various bug fixes

Description:
This once added to your forum allows you to connect to any RSS feed you desire, once set up the system will automatically post data from the RSS feed into threads within a specified forum.

Previews are available at the bottom, and an FAQ is built into the admin controls since I know not everyone will understand how to set up the options. Also an example to use a BBC UK News rss feed is below

Example BBC UK News Feed:
Feed Name: BBC UK News
Feed Location: http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonl...t_page/rss.xml
Feed Prefix: [BBC UK News]
Feed From User: Assign users username of your own choice
Feed Forum: Choose a forum you want threads to be posted into
Feed Read Direction: Newest First
Parent RSS Tag Name: channel
Items RSS Tag Name: item
Thread Title RSS Tag Name: title
Thread Post RSS Construct:

[b]Published:[/b] {XML[pubDate]}

{XML[description]}
[url={XML[link]}]Read More...[/url]

Note: After adding a new feed i suggest clicking update for that feed, this will manually update that singular feed specified, the cron job included will automatically update all feeds, best not to have it update them all from the start otherwise it could execute a lot of queries. Further more I highly recommend you do not have lots of feeds unless your server can with-stand it.

Enjoy

Ya I have tried a ton of different feeds, none of them will update. I think some things changed in Gold and this hacks does not work with it.

well its showing a feed i tried. but i still get that error so definetly something wrong with the hack but it will update feeds if you ad them

Ya it is only update one feed...and that is with me manually hitting the update button, although it errors, it does post one feed??

I've upgraded the forum to 3.5.0 gold, and now the news forum is getting bombarded with nothing but duplicates. My guess is some little things changed in 3.5 gold and the plugin might need to adapt . Hopefully it is something easy Until I figure it out (or someone else) I have disabled the plugin.

Least you are getting feeds...I have to manually run the script to get them and it errors out, but post one thread.

I have uninstalled until it is figured out as well.
