Miscellaneous Hacks - T-VBhoroscopes Addon -daily updated content

This is a quick vb-horoscopes feature to add to your forum.
I just made this and tested it on my forum, working fine as shown demo below

Requirements:
php fopen on
ADDED : IF fopen is not ON on your webserver , download the second zip file called gethoroscopes.php and replace the one in your cron folder with this one that uses Curl instead of fopen.
Installation :
-Upload the files to their respective locations
-Install the product using the VBulletin product manager
Your done !

You can test your script directly by going to your scheduled task
and using "RUN NOW" you should see the script output and then you
can go check your page at http://urforum/dailyhoroscopes.php


License :
- Your are allowed to query our website using the cronjob once everyday
Leave on default installation and you will not be breaking any rule, or only change the HOUR and MINUTE of runtime.
- You can freely modify the template the way you wish, all you need is
to leave the $result reference where you want it for the script to function
I will also appreciate if you share us with your modified template !

- You are required to keep the copyright text in your template, however if
you prefer to remove it, you can only do that after contacting me and recieving permission to do so ( free of charge ofcourse )

Not working here, displays a blank page.

And today also no horoscopes showing.

Guess I'll take it off of my board till the developer provides a fix.

I would stay away from products from this devloper. Tchatting.com, this developer's site, has thousands of stolen posts, threads and users from a diesel site. There are several people that are up in arms about it.

vBulletin.org is supposed to be looking into the hacks written by this guy. unfortunately they don't feel the need to warn people

Uninstalling, think I found something better.

When I click on any of the horoscope signs, all I see in the box where the horoscope is supposed to display is "1".

When I manually execute the cron job from CP, I get the following:

cron_horoscopes

Success, wrote (1) to file (./dailyhoroscopes/aries.txt)Success, wrote (1) to file (./dailyhoroscopes/taurus.txt)Success, wrote (1) to file (./dailyhoroscopes/gemini.txt)Success, wrote (1) to file (./dailyhoroscopes/cancer.txt)Success, wrote (1) to file (./dailyhoroscopes/leo.txt)Success, wrote (1) to file (./dailyhoroscopes/virgo.txt)Success, wrote (1) to file (./dailyhoroscopes/libra.txt)Success, wrote (1) to file (./dailyhoroscopes/scorpio.txt)Success, wrote (1) to file (./dailyhoroscopes/sagittarius.txt)Success, wrote (1) to file (./dailyhoroscopes/capricorn.txt)Success, wrote (1) to file (./dailyhoroscopes/aquarius.txt)Success, wrote (1) to file (./dailyhoroscopes/pisces.txt)
Done

Which would seem to explain, at least, why I see the "1" in the horoscope display box.

I did visit the author's site and his version seems to be displaying the horoscopes fine.
