Miscellaneous Hacks - T-VBhoroscopes Addon -daily updated content

This is a quick vb-horoscopes feature to add to your forum.
I just made this and tested it on my forum, working fine as shown demo below

Requirements:
php fopen on
ADDED : IF fopen is not ON on your webserver , download the second zip file called gethoroscopes.php and replace the one in your cron folder with this one that uses Curl instead of fopen.
Installation :
-Upload the files to their respective locations
-Install the product using the VBulletin product manager
Your done !

You can test your script directly by going to your scheduled task
and using "RUN NOW" you should see the script output and then you
can go check your page at http://urforum/dailyhoroscopes.php


License :
- Your are allowed to query our website using the cronjob once everyday
Leave on default installation and you will not be breaking any rule, or only change the HOUR and MINUTE of runtime.
- You can freely modify the template the way you wish, all you need is
to leave the $result reference where you want it for the script to function
I will also appreciate if you share us with your modified template !

- You are required to keep the copyright text in your template, however if
you prefer to remove it, you can only do that after contacting me and recieving permission to do so ( free of charge ofcourse )

I'm guessing the hack is somewhat online, but there is no info to write to those files. I have been getting the same. I love this hack, it would be a shame to have to uninstall.

I will find another feed, or manualy do it daily.....

[blind-eddie]

Ok, Their site is up.....Last night I added text to one of the dailyhoroscopes/leo.txt, This morning I looked at leo & it was empty...so rcon is working ,but nothing rewrote to it. I am going to try 1 more thing....brb
