[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

Nope - cron is set up and working.

Even if i refresh it manually it says 0 new rss feeds found, but there are new ones there. It seems like its not deleting the old ones and limits out on 27 new threads and wont get any more after that .. its a bit annoying really cause the system is brilliant if i get it working right.

I have this hack running successfully on my site, Dubspeed Racing. However, the format in which it outputs things is rediculous. Whats up with the extra white space in the formatting?

Example Thread Here:
http://www.dubspeedracing.com/forums...ead.php?t=8055

And the feed its pulling from here:

http://www.speedsportlife.com/corvet...-at-the-wheel/

And my RSS Post Construct:

Published: {XML[pubDate]}

{XML[content:encoded]}

Help!

Cool hack! I'm having a small problem. When I add any text or code to the post section, it doesn't save any of the RSS settings. If I just use the XML code in the post it works fine. But I'd like to add some of my own text and code.

Any ideas? Thanks!!

<title xml:lang="ar"> ????????????  /title>
