NEW Modified RSS News Feed Hack Details »»

Hack originally posted by: Xyphen - RSS News Feed Hack
Modified by: wolfstream - Modified RSS News Feed Hack I am posting this up as a new hack because of the major changes made to how the script works. Also, I didn't want people to get confused as to which one to download since there were 3 different versions on the original post. Xyphen released the original version, then wolfstream modified the script and corrected some errors. After that, I modified wolfstreams version to change how posts were inserted. Now the post count will increase, posts will be able to be searched, and similiar threads will work. RSS News Feed Hack for vB 3.0.x. 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!

Is it possible to make the feed into one thread. What I mean is if im using a rss feed from yahoo music, i want it so that when the bot runs and pulls the information it puts it all into one thread as opposed to multiple threads.....
If this is not possible, can I at least limit the number of threads it will start up. Thanks. Peace

Ok Sorry to sound thick! But how do I add a bot..... :ermm:
Can someone give me a working example I can add and run please. Dose the URL have to have .xml at the end of it? Xrayhead EDIT: Ok I have a feed ending in .xml and I have tested it with (FreeReader). I have added the bot (See PNG) to a new forum that I created and when I run the cron all I get is the following (see cron_run.png). I have attached a capture of a working cron as well. Questions, I am running this on a windows box with PHP Ver 4.3.9 and installed the rss_bot_1[1].26a Do I have to open a port on the router or have any specific settings in my apache/php configuration?

Great hack this, but I have spotted a slight problem with the "Archive" version of threads.
Even with the replace "{br} with <br />" carried out as explained in the instructions during the installation. The Archive version of threads still doesn't work right like this quote shows taken from one of the RSS Feeds in the archive section. I even tried changing to BBC News Feeds and got the same issue with "{br}" being inserted into the Archives and not working right. Here is a RSS Thread taken from my archives to show what I mean Quote:
