can't open large RSS files
This is really weird and i really don't understand why it is happenning. I can't open large RSS feeds even if i limit vbulletin to import the first 10 items.
So i have created some test rss feeds to see at what point the bug happens. This RSS feed will work perfectly: http://pirate-punk.com/feed_test2.php But if i add ONE more entry it stops working: http://pirate-punk.com/feed_test.php vBulletin tells me "XML error : No error at line 0" and this non-sense isn't helping me. I'm really annoyed and i've tried everything. Please can someone help me before i smash my keyboard on my head ? :P I use vBulletin 3.6.4. A few years ago i have opened really large RSS files without problems but a few months ago i have moved to a new dedicated server. Maybe it is some option in php.ini preventing to open large files ? |

Do you have suhosin or mod_security loaded? What is the actual difference between the two files?

How can i know if i have suhosin or mod_security loaded ? i checked my phpinfo but couldn't find any match for those names
There is no big difference between the files. the first one (feed_test2.php) didn't work so i removed some <item> in the RSS file until it started working. The only difference now is that "feed_test2.php" has one more <item> than "feed_test.php" so it must have something to do with the file size or lenght. So it is the exact same RSS feed but one has less entries. feed_test2.php (not working) = 3536 lines (705 items in xml) php file is 69 368 bytes feed_test.php (working) = 3531 lines (704 items in xml) php file is 69 270 bytes My phpinfo = http://www.pirate-punk.net/phpinfo.php XML's server phpinfo = http://www.pirate-punk.com/phpinfo.php Both server are OVH dedicated servers |

suhosin is a security patch, though I don't think its loaded.
mod_security is an apache module, it has rules that filter out "problematic" things. Anything in your php/apache error logs? |

No, nothing in the error logs as far as i can tell. I have also my php.ini set to display errors and vBulletin isn't outputing any errors other than "Erreur XML : No error à la ligne 0"

I gave up and ended up writing my own RSS poster in PHP. Everything is working now if i use my own script instead of vbulletin built-in rss poster.

Would be nice if you posted your fix to help others that might have the same problem. Give a little back.
Glad your up and running though, nice site. |

He wrote his own importer, that's not really a fix. Hard to debug this one though.
I suspect another error occurred, but you weren't being alerted to it. |

Just to be clear, I have not used the 3.6.4 version of vbulletin so I should not have used the word 'fix'. That implies that there is a bug in the vbulletin code and I have no idea if the thread-owners problem exists in that version.
My suggestion was to just help the vb.org community, and if you ask others for a solution to problems you are having: It is just nice to share your results. I mean no disrespect to the thread owner, nor vbulletin. |

I'm not sure if there is a bug with vBulletin 3.6.4 RSS importer, like i said it works with small feeds but returns an error when the feed is too large. And also, i have already used the exact same version of VB to import a very large feed but that was over 3 years ago and i have moved server since then. I'm not sure what went wrong.
Anyway, here is the script i wrote to import my RSS feed into vBulletin: Code:
<?php header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); require_once('./global.php'); require_once('./includes/functions_databuild.php'); error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192); $itemnumber = "0"; $xml = file_get_contents("your_feed_url"); $sxml = simplexml_load_string($xml); foreach($sxml->channel->item as $name => $row) { $itemnumber = $itemnumber + 1; if ($itemnumber > 50) { // uncomment if you want to limit to 50 entries // break; } $forumid = 98; $userid = "1"; $title = utf8_decode($row->title); $pagetext = utf8_decode($row->description); // Create a new datamanager for posting $threaddm =& datamanager_init('Thread_FirstPost', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost'); $allowsmilie = '0'; // Are we allowing smilies in our post $visible = '1'; // If the post visible (ie, moderated or not) // check if the post already exists $mtitle = addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title)); $query = "SELECT * FROM thread WHERE title = '$mtitle' AND forumid = '$forumid' AND postuserid = '$userid'"; $res = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); $exist = mysql_num_rows($res); if ($exist == 1) { echo "item # $itemnumber already exists ($title)<br><br>"; } if ($exist == 0) { echo "item # $itemnumber posted ($title)<br><br>"; // post the shit $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid); $threadinfo = array(); $user = htmlspecialchars_uni( fetch_userinfo($userid) ); $threaddm->set_info('forum', $foruminfo); $threaddm->set_info('thread', $threadinfo); $threaddm->setr('forumid', $forumid); $threaddm->setr('userid', $userid); $threaddm->setr('pagetext', $pagetext); $threaddm->setr('title', $title); $threaddm->set('allowsmilie', $allowsmilie); $threaddm->set('visible', $visible); // Lets see what happens if we save the page $threaddm->pre_save(); if(count($threaddm->errors) < 1) { // Basically if the page will save without errors then let do it for real this time $threadid = $threaddm->save(); unset($threaddm); } else { // There was errors in the practice run, so lets display them var_dump ($threaddm->errors); } } } ?> |
