Article Bot
by velocd Article Bot is a script that allows you to assign a user account (preferably an exclusive one) to an article bot that will post RSS feeds in select forums at designated intervals. These articles are derived from RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds. RSS files are assigned to article bots, as well to individual forums, which in turn directs what, when and where your article bot will post. Features

Files
RSS Feeds There are several in the install.html, but if you're looking for more than you could ever want, check out NewsIsFree's directory: http://www.newsisfree.com/sources/bycat/ Remember to click install if you use this hack. Also be sure to read through the what you haven't of the thread before asking a question, for it may have been answered. Show Your Support

I have found several rss feeds that work..... the problem is most all of them I found only give you 2 or 3 lines of a story and then a link..... Does anyone know of some good links that will post the entire story? Preferably sports related...... Thanks!

I know I'm beating a dead horse here but the answer eludes me still.
Just got it all set up to feed the link below (the one recommended) into a forum. Works fine, feeds it in. BUT, it feeds only into the title. It doesn't post any of the lines or the link into the body of the post. Just a title. http://www.bonsai-today.com/rss/bonsai-today-rss.html I've checked this whole board and the one fella who seemed to figure it out was happy to tell us of his triumph, BUT NOT HOW HE DID IT!!! ugh. Help is appreciated! Thanks, Layne |

I just added that feed to my test installation, and it appears to work correctly on mine. I would recommend doing a fresh install of articlebot and using the updated MagpieRSS files (Which I linked to in a previous post.) Also, you might want to take a look at your template (if it's customized for your articlebot) to make sure you haven't left something out. You could look diretly at your database (phpmyadmin) to see if the article descriptions are coming through and being inserted or not. Good luck Kenny |

I downloaded the most recent version of Magpie and am not sure what to do with it or where to put it. Or, even if I should do anything with it. I'm not sure which MagpieRSS files you're talking about. Which files in the Article Bot download need to be updated? Thanks, Layne |

There are four files in the articlebot directory that you should have uploaded to your server. The file names are rss_cache.inc, rss_fetch.inc, rss_parse.inc and rss_utils.inc I believe. If I recall, the MarpieRSS tgz file has those files inside it, and you should upload and replace the ones in your articlebot directory with the new ones from the magpie tgz.
I don't know if this will fix your problem, but it might. Good luck. Kenny |

rsschacheid=91 title=...And We're Back dateline=1114918800 That's it. I see no descriptions. This looks fishy. On a different note... Before checking the database, I tried to do a reinstall, went through the steps and got this database error. Have no idea what I've messed up, if anything. Thoughts? Code:
Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7: Invalid SQL: CREATE TABLE articlebot ( articlebotid smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, userid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', regex_title_search varchar(100) NOT NULL, regex_title_replace varchar(100) NOT NULL, regex_desc_search varchar(100) NOT NULL, regex_desc_replace varchar(100) NOT NULL, enabled tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', dateline int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (articlebotid) ) mysql error: Table 'articlebot' already exists mysql error number: 1050 |
