Does the rss poster robot have templates and hooks? If so, then please explain the names of the templates or/and any hooks that are available.

It's a scheduled task. The script that gets run is /includes/cron/rssposter.php I looked and saw no hooks or templates, but you might want to take a look at the script yourself. (I think it uses the datamanager to post and there are three other scripts in the includes area which may or may not have hooks/templates.)

Thank you. If anyone has ideas how to use template hooks to add new functions to the poster robot, then please let me know.

I want to expand the posterrobot with some functions. So either the whole file gets a rewrite or I would have to add hooks or reference to another file. How would I go about this?

It's up to you which way you want to do it. You can either add your own hooks into that file, or just add your own code into the file. It's a matter of what you like better. For instance, I wrote a tracker integration product for our site and had to insert some code into a file where there was no hook. I choose to add a hook so I could have all the code right there in my admin panel to change. However, when I choose to make a change in our external.php file, since it was for a single purpose and not related to any plugins/products, I decided to just change the file.
