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.

You need also to remove all the files you uploaded to your website.
Please have a look at the un-install steps at the thread

I have deleted all of the files also and still the thing keeps running. I upgraded to 4.2 but that didn't fix the problem also.

When I check the Scheduled Task Log, I see the entries are being run by the RSS poster robot.

I have disabled RSS poster robot to no effect. I tried changing the schedule to once a month also that didn't work.

The entries are being posted to the forum "vBCms Comments", which I think is inbuilt to VB.

I made it so all of posts are put into moderation, so at least people on the forum people can't see them, but it is getting annoying have to delete them all of the time and once I accidentally deleted a real thread.

I'd be surprised if his problem has nothing to do with this modification considering he installed this Mod to create RSS feeds and now he has removed it those RSS feeds won't stop.

If he disables vBCMS Comments won't that disable the ability for people to post comments to articles?

How you know that!!! Are you having same issue?

With each article created vbulletin will create new comment for that article. This the only way to disable auto comments created by the system. MAybe am wrong but this is what i know about vbcms comments.

I'm sorry but if his site wasn't generating these RSS feeds before he installed this Mod and then after he installed this Mod it was egnerating these RSS feeds, and then after he removes the Mod completely it is still generating those same RSS feeds, only one can deduct that this Mod is the problem because it is the RSS feeds generated by this Mod that started those RSS feeds.

And no i'm not having same issue because i have not disabled or removed this mod.

He said it is because of vbcms comments and you insist that it is because of this mod. This is realy odd!!!!

Am not saying this mod is perfect but why you are talking about somebody else.

Do you have any prob with this mod?

He did not say anything of the sort. You tell me where he said it is because of the vbcms comments?

Tell me how come he didn't have this RSS problem until after he installed your mod and then removed it? How can you say it has nothing to do with your mod whatsoever? There is more suggestion your Mod is the cause than not. I don't see how you can claim that his RSS problem has nothing whatsoever to do with your RSS mod.
