Add-On Releases - Rssfeeds for cms 4 VB4

vbfixer.com

Current version:
1.0.4


Review:
This mod allows VB4 owners to easily add an Rssfeed from you admincp where it has the option to target cms as a destination of the feeds. This mod is build and tested on 4.1.5 so it should work on this version or any versions afterwards. But it is not supported for any version after 4.1.8.

I build this mod because a lot of people where asking for it in several post here and there.

I tried my best to avoid file replacing in your forum so you will have no trouble when upgrading for newer vbulletin version so no worries.

Your "hit installed link" link does not work for me as I do not have permissions.

See http://www.officercadet.com/content.php/134-blogs

For example of multiple posting of same RSS.

How is this mod different than the default RSS feeds that come with VB4?

I installed it but it won't create a feed. What feed url am I suppose to use? It won't let me make one up.

The default wont send feeds to cms as articles this does.

Anything created before will be duplicated here since it is using different type of post identity for each feed. What it should not duplicate is the feeds that is created after the update. I prefer to use new rich rss feed that is frequently updated for the test and swich off the old rssfeed source for a while.

[ZCDW9]

So how do I stop it duplicating?

Even if it does not duplicate the newly created blog posts it will continue to duplicate all of the old ones.
