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.

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.

I am having the same issue.

But in addition, no other RSS feeds are getting run. I was getting 10+ per day before, now zero, except for these cmscomment postings.

1. It is marked as installed

2. http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/forum.php

3. I uploaded several images.
I re-ran "Run scheduled task now" button and there was no output.
And the dates where not updated.

What is stranger, I clicked one of the active feeds to edit, then checked the reset box, then clicked save and the feed date was reset.
Then re-ran "Run scheduled task now" button and there was no output again. And no new feeds.


Then to make this EVEN stranger, when I edit the feed, do not click the reset box, and click PREVIEW, I get a blank preview page

I have attached 3 images.

I attached the logs for my scheduled tasks.

Have you followed all the un-install steps descriped above?
The feed entries that is created with this mod need to be opened by "rss feed cms" manager and not rss feed manager! Entries created with rss feed for cms need to be removed before you un install the mod.

yes I did.
I converted two of my existing feeds to use the CMS option. I never created a new feed with the CMS plugin. I did edit the two feeds to post back to the forum before I uninstalled the plugin.

I have 10+ feeds that never used the CMS plugin and they all stopped working

If you converted or created feeds you need to disable them and remove them.

[mickknutson]

Ok. I will have to re-install the plugin tonight, then remove those two feeds, then uninstall. Lets see if that works.

[mickknutson]

Ok, I

1. re-installed the plugin
2. deleted the 2 feeds I converted to CMS rss feed.
3. did NOTHING to the other 20+ feeds I already had in place.
4. followed the rest of the un-installation steps.
5. tried to preview several feeds and I can't even preview them.

Now what? Still dead in the water now.

Just to confirm I didn't have any RSS feeds set up before I installed this. I was posting articles manually to the CMS front page of the site and because I wasn't updating this enough, someone suggested I update it automatically with a RSS feed, so this mod seemed perfect.

Unfortunately there were just too many articles and many duplicates so it created more work deleting the articles and it was also difficult or maybe impossible to edit them.

I think I just removed the feeds first before disabling them, which might be the reason they are still running. I uninstalled the mod as per the instructions and they are still running and I have to delete all of the entries manually.

I think it would be easy to recreate the problem. Any chance of getting a fix for this?
