Add-On Releases - EPC Autoposter [LITE] for vBulletin

EPC Autoposter [LITE] for vBulletin

What the heck is this?

Posts to your forums automatically via the REAL usernames of by predefining the usernames, rss feeds and the forum ids. Do keep in mind we do have a full blown version of the EPC Autoposter Full Version for vBulletin where you can take complete control over the whole posting aspect more easily.

All in all, everyone was wondering after creating 10, 100, 1000's of users on their forums and not able to to post with these users? So we decided to release this LITE version to accompany our other hack which is stated below.

Key features:

• Autoposter is easy to use!
• Simply fill in a few fields and that's it!
• If you use our EPC vBulletin Mass User Creator, this is your final solution to automated posting. Where you may post from anything that has a valid RSS Feed! So I guess the solution and to fill any void on your forums for using automated posting has come to an end for but we did create a full version of EPC Autoposter for vBulletin.
• Your forums will appear much more active and alive, resulting in many more users, and many more users = many more sales = $$$!
• Randomize the posting from an example 20 users, and 20 feeds, as this will assign everything randomly. Everything is totally random.

Complexity of Installation:

2 - Files to upload
1 - File edit
1 - Phrase added
1 - vBulletin CRON job
1 - Create an articles directory to store all articles.

Say perhaps 1 minute to 2 minutes max.

How do I get support:

Support is given to those who click INSTALL...

All support for the LITE version will be held here, and if you purchase the full version all support is handled in the order received by our full-time reps in the CSC, NO support is held here for the FULL version! No need for support actually as we have thoroughly ran it through the ringer in 48 hours, watching the forums fill up !

So here's the LITE version and it comes with a full set of instructions and if you require any assistance on how to find feeds and what places are best for feeds, do post them in here. Also if you post anything in here that has NOTHING to do with the hack and support related issues, i.e. Starting drama on how unethical it is and blah blah, keep your drama out please!

(Note: this thing can cripple a MySQL server if you are NOT careful, so if you post anything about how the server has gone away, please fix your MySQL my.cnf file to be more optimized. We will be happy to share our my.cnf optimization in the forums if any need help on it.)

Version 2 ::

Gives support of rotating and posting articles automatically along with the ability to mix in with the RSS feeds. (Create an articles directory inside your forums root for this)

Ability to manage all feeds, from one location which is persisted to the Add Autoposter underneath the RSS Manager Section inside vBulletin. Meaning once you enter these values, come back to this screen, everything is managed in the Add Autoposter for simple use.

Never duplicates posts of text files, once posted it will not post no more.

When posting from articles do note: The name of the text file will be the
Threads Title.txt, or Threads-Title.txt. (So yes the supported file extension is txt)

Do keep in mind the below:

ummm, so it DOES NOT have the ability of random selection of usernames and forum ids? either you did not understand what i asked or you're contradicting yourself?

correct, but he didn't want to use multiple usernames for the same feeds. so no need for this hack.

Does this work for 3.6.5?? If I have certain fields that are required (like post prefix, post icon) before a message is posted, will this work with that?

1. Enter in Multiple users
2. Enter in Multiple feeds
3. Enter in Multiple forum ids

After you enter this, it'll add them randomly to the forums that you specified, can you do that in the RSS Feed poster? If you installed ours then you'll see why, because I don't see you downloaded it or installed it as of yet

No I haven't yet. That what I was wondering what advatages there was for this over the default already available in vb. I myself don't have a need to randomize different topic post in random forums or by random users. But not the say I wouldn't sometime in the future. I still there its a thoughtful mod.

You should've said "Original content = the key to Google..." RSS content is treated as duplicated content by search engines. They know where content originated. I've never seen a thread that contains an rss feed on my forums have a good rank at all.

I wouldn't use your mod as a way to completely fill forums in hopes of search engines catching on, but as a supplement to existing content to stur up conversation.

Thanks for the comments, and yes it's just the fact of "streamlining" dead forums with live postings and if they wanted randomization then all the better. Just our idea of "expanding" what's there in vB was in mind, as any mod on the forums here in that matter is here to "expand" or give a difference.

Best regards,

Yes they do know where the originating content comes from is true. We didn't say use the MOD to fill your board completely, we issued the MOD to expand the ideas and minds of others, mainly for the fact of taking a board that gets only one post a day, two or low numbers and start posting something relevant to their board.

We have used craigslist.org feeds inside our advertisement area on our forums, and surely 40 new ones started posting immediately. That is what we call enticing others to post and etc... That's our goal in this is to help others perhaps get their boards posted to more frequently, then they can turn it off and let the "actual" "real" users post at heart!

Best regards,
BTR

I don't have 3.6.5, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work on 3.6.5, if it don't work do report it, but it seems someone stated that they do have it working on their test forums quoting you.
