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.

Don't upload the upload folder itself, instead upload its content

[ar15dcm]

Gotcha. Okay completed that. Now when I click on RSS Feed for CMS manager or Add News RSS for CMS I get page not found.

Still you didn't upload all files to their proper locations

for this error rssposter_cms.php has to go to admincp directory

[ar15dcm]

It's there. I just verified it.

[ar15dcm]

Should I rerun the import ?

[ar15dcm]

Okay I completly uninstalled it, then performed a clean install. The error I get now is "page not found" when I go to the RSS Feed For CMS Manager and New RSS Feed For CMS.

Any ideas?

I have a question, might seem silly.

But I set up an RSS feed for future Xbox 360 releases from Amazon. I've used this Mod and chosen the CMS as the target destination. So when i set up the RSS and it does it's stuff it creates 10 articles of the top future releases. Now my question is when it does it's thing again does it create new articles on top of those previous ones even if the content is the same?

Yes for the first Q

And it shouldn't if it has same content.
But you see it is using same mechnizm as vbulletin it will combine the title with the content hash it and log/save hashed value for the inserted article. So it wont insert that article again because it has same hashed value. Sometimes if the content is changed with even a space it might inserted again but that is rear.
