Add-On Releases - Rssfeeds for cms 4 VB4

vbfixer.com

Current version:
1.0.4


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 after 4.1.8.

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.

Ok thanks, I'll see how it goes.

I installed this but I found moderating/removing the duplicate stories more work than selectively finding and adding stories to the forum. The problem now is I can't get it to stop posting stories.

I have tried deleting the feeds, disabling the scheduled tasks, uninstalling the product, reinstalling the product and disabling it, but I still keep getting stories posted on the forum.

It seems even if you uninstall the mod, the files remain. Can you tell me which file to delete to stop this from running?

Disabling the product should be enough.

After disabling it go to "RSS Feeds For CMS" and disable all the rssfeeds entries you have added / then remove them.

After that you can un-install then remove the uploaded files

Unfortunately I am still getting articles posted even though I disabled and uninstalled it the mod. Does this create any table entries?

I also had to disable the CRON entry too.

I have THREE issues with this plugin:

1. The plugin keeps posting the same exact entries over and over. I dont want that. I want only NEW entries to be posted.

2. The entries that are posted all contain Videos. But the video entry does NOT get parsed. So I have to manually edit each entry so the VIDEO tag puts the inline video in the posting.
Maybe this is a matter of changing the hook location for adding the video to allow the video tag to be parsed so I dont have to manually do it?

3. Some of the entries that are added are NOT editable as required in #2. When I go to edit them, I cannot save the changes. I am able to delete them, but not update.

I followed your instructions, except for disabling the feeds before removing them. I just removed them thinking that would also stop them.

Yes, a mistake on my part, so now I don't know how to stop them, which is why I asked if there is anything else the mod does like put data into a table, as I have removed all of the files.

Or maybe now I need to try reinstalling the mod, recreate the RSS feed and then disable it, remove it etc.

No need to re-install go to "RSS Feeds" and you will find all the entries disable them

When I click on the RSS manager I see: "No feeds are currently defined."
