RSS News Feed Hack for vB 3.0.0. As long as vBulletin doesn't change the database structure much, this should be good for the next release also, and those to come.
Allows you to have a live RSS news feed (such as one from Google or CNET) in a forum. The user that posts it will basically be a bot, which *should* only be used for posting the news, but you can even make it for a regular user.
Comments are welcome!

Note: DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP OF EACH FILE BEFORE YOU MODIFY IT!
Copy the files to your web server... keep the same directory structure as in the zip file.

If you're upgrading run the rss_upgrade.php file to setup the RSS script. Don't forget to remove all previous modifications (you can find them by searching for "LiquidPro")
Did you remember to add a cron to the rss.php file ??
As the instructions say:
Open up your cron manager (in admincp->scheduled tasks -> add scheduled task) and add an entry for rss.php. You should update every hour at the most. The filename for this is ./rss.php.
