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.

5. tried to preview several feeds and I can't even preview them.

Now what? Still dead in the water now.

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?

If after un-installation you still get article feed check Scheduled Task Manager if "RSS Poster Robot (CMS)" still exist disable it and remove it.

That did not work.
*** I still get the auto post from the 1 feed I already deleted
*** And I dont get any of my other RSS feeds working at all


Cant something be in SQL and just be removed?

I dont want to have to remove all of the other feeds just so I start fresh when I did not edit them anyways.

There has to be some SQL ERROR that was made because I made a fresh UPDATE of VB 4.2 so all the files are new.


What DB changes does this mod make?
How do I revert those DB changes?

NOTHING WITH CMS exists. and 100% of all RSS feeds dont work at all. It is as simple as that.

All the db change are done when installing and un-installing part of the mod code, check it to see the changes. So there must some error occured during install/uninstall

To make old feeds work check Scheduled Task Manager and enable "RSS Poster Robot" if it is disabled.

I am re-attaching the images here.
I ran the scheduled tasks earlier and the only thing that happens is a blank grey screen.

Hi,

I have the paid verion 1.0.5 and have been running into an error when publishing articles that are imported with the plugin. I started a thread on vbulletin.com regarding the error; https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthr ... error-mean

This plugin is the only bbcode/rss type of plugin I have so I am going to start here.

Fatal error:  Cannot use object of type vB_Legacy_Thread as array in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/forums/includes/class_bbcode.php(2989) : eval()'d code on line 7

Any ideas? or are there any plugin updates I can install?

Thanks,

Does vbfixer still work on this mod or any other? I have tried several times to buy everywhere sidebar and this RSS Feeds over the past 3 weeks and I never get a reply.

I'm running VB 4.2.1, this seems to work when it wants. While it does always capture the data and post it to the specified Articles section, not all posts get 'promoted' to the front page, only certain ones - very odd. Any help on this would be great. I see the developer of this mod has not been on vbulletin.org since Dec 2012, it would be nice if someone could step up and take over this mod or provide an unofficial update.
