Miscellaneous Hacks - T-VBhoroscopes Addon -daily updated content

This is a quick vb-horoscopes feature to add to your forum.
I just made this and tested it on my forum, working fine as shown demo below

Requirements:
php fopen on
ADDED : IF fopen is not ON on your webserver , download the second zip file called gethoroscopes.php and replace the one in your cron folder with this one that uses Curl instead of fopen.
Installation :
-Upload the files to their respective locations
-Install the product using the VBulletin product manager
Your done !

You can test your script directly by going to your scheduled task
and using "RUN NOW" you should see the script output and then you
can go check your page at http://urforum/dailyhoroscopes.php


License :
- Your are allowed to query our website using the cronjob once everyday
Leave on default installation and you will not be breaking any rule, or only change the HOUR and MINUTE of runtime.
- You can freely modify the template the way you wish, all you need is
to leave the $result reference where you want it for the script to function
I will also appreciate if you share us with your modified template !

- You are required to keep the copyright text in your template, however if
you prefer to remove it, you can only do that after contacting me and recieving permission to do so ( free of charge ofcourse )

YMMOT , i think the issue was cleared. and as for vb staff i trust their judgment
edenex , they use feeds i ave which are in english, translating them could be done using google service i suppose but will require further coding.

Thanks for the heads up all, I will be taking this off my board asap, does anyone know if there is anything similar or better out there for a replacement?

Thanks

Lebanon, are you going to provide a fix?

Lebanon has been compliant with removing the stolen then sold to him data

Ok, I've installed this modification correctly. I've chmodded all of the files and folders to 777, I've gone to the task manager and manually ran the cron_horoscopes task, I've checked to make sure that fopen is on (and it is)... but no matter what I do, nothing will make it work. When I click on a sign, nothing shows up. Here is the message I get when I run the task...

What could possibly be wrong here?

vb version 3.6.4

I think the guys at astrology.com have changed the pages from where we used to fetch the feed.

It still works on tchatting.com.

[Endurer]

Maybe he is doing it manually. The php horoscopes class doesn't work anywhere on the web anymore.

This mod is such a disappointment.

Agreed. I guess I'll have to uninstall it.
