Review:
This mod allows VB4 owners to easily add an Rssfeed from you admincp where it has the option to target cms as a destination of the feeds. This mod is build and tested on 4.1.5 so it should work on this version or any versions afterwards. But it is not supported for any version after4.1.8.
I build this mod because a lot of people where asking for it in several post here and there.
I tried my best to avoid file replacing in your forum so you will have no trouble when upgrading for newer vbulletin version so no worries.

Installation: (Upload the files before installing the product)
1. Download plugin and unzip.
2. Upload all the contents of the "upload" directory to your forum root.
3. Login to your vBulletin admincp.
4. Open "Plugins & Products", and go to "Manage Products".
5. Click on "[Add/Import Product]".
6. Import the XML file that you download. Make sure you set "allow overwrite" to "yes" when updating. Best practice for updating this mod is by uninstalling the old version and installing the new one.
7. After installing go to your admincp you will find "RSS Feeds For CMS"
use it to add you rssfeeds for cms and select "Post Items as Articles" and set the target section of the article.
1. Login to your vBulletin admincp.
2. Disable all the rssfeeds entries from admincp.
3. Delete all the rssfeeds entries from admincp.
4. Open "Plugins & Products", and go to "Manage Products".
5. Uninstall the product.
6. Remove all the files you upload to your website as follows
admincp/rssposter_cms.php
includes/cron/rssposter_cms.php
includes/xml/cpnav_rssfeeds_cms.xml
includes/xml/bitfield_rssfeeds_cms.xml
7. Done
Even if it does not duplicate the newly created blog posts it will continue to duplicate all of the old ones.
It shouldn't if you are using a very active and daily updated feed and you are setting your feed to get the last (let us say 5) feeds so the old feeds will not listed.
I have no issue with a coder placing a link in the footer or somewhere else in his MOD. In fact I openly support via cash to the many great folks making VB a more robust end item.
But you not only put a LINK in each and every rss article but you also inject your info into the meta description for each article.
So for me today that means over 20 links to your site, as well as 20 mentions of your data injected into my site. ( I've since deleted them) FAR too much of an imposition in my view, especially since some RSS feeds are simply a few words and a link placed right above your link making it appear as if your link is part of the RSS itself.
Why link in each each article ... why inject into each meta description? Why not a simple footer link?
Valid questions, not a critical denouncement. :up:

You should check the mod options first as you can switch it off.

Okay I tried installing but it didn't complete. I see the mod in the list of products, but I do not see the RSS for CMS in the admincp menu on the left.
