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! Support provided through this thread.

I am looking at it but I fail to see any list of streams that might fit my needs.

Ideas?

I installed this the other day and it pulled in 7 messages from the feed which is very cool. However, I have got nothing since then. I though I messed up the cron. I ran the script manually and it comes back with the message "RSS News Feed".

Is that all it is supposed to say?

I added 3 more feeds going to the same forum and I get no posts from any of them.

What am I doing wrong?

BTW, I have attached a picture of my cron screen. Did I do it right?

Any way we can minipulate the incoming RSS feeds? I'm not a big fan of the advertisements splattered all throughout my RSS feed even though I love the content they are giving me.
