NEW Modified RSS News Feed Hack Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
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!

First of all, nice work. I read through the original hack thread and this one and came up with a question.
I'm runnig a german board and tried some rss feeds. most of them don't have a pubDate field. What happens when they don't have this field? Does it work anyway or do I have to create a workaround for it? Any other german here with good working news feeds? |

My request with this would be a mod to have each NewsFeed in one thread, not a new thread for each feed ...
Any ideas Slapyo ? |

hm, my script is derived from the original script. it should work if you followed the install instructions.
i take it you are using a Yahoo!News feed. those work fine for me, i am using the sports feed for my site. make sure you follow the instructions step by step in the setup. i know you probably did. but not knowing what is going on, that is all i can tell you right now. |

does your news feed have a pubDate field. if it doesn't have a date field, or if it is named something other than pubDate you will get duplicate posts.
