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!

[QUOTE=mirdin]You'll have to ask your host to upgrade to a more recent version of PHP.
Or if you follow the link to the php function I posted before, it shows this code: PHP Code:
----- I read the install instructions for this hack, it specified no where that certain version number dependencies were required before implementing ... it just said whoopee let's go!!! It may not be possible for some of us to "TELL" our ISP to UPGRADE some ISP's don't give a rat's a$$ about what we do on their systems they just want their $4.95 a month. Replace this CODE WHERE? Thank you. |

sorry guys, i tried to get the new one up before i left for class for the day and found an error so i pulled it quickly and put back 1.21. i will fix the problem and get it back up when i get home from classes for the day.
also, i will make note of the problem with php version and include a fix for those that maybe have a lower version and can't change it. i wasn't aware of that problem, and since it was working on mine i figured it was good to go. will include that in the next fix. i'm still at school right now between classes, won't be home till later tonight though. hopefully i will have it checking for duplicate posts and i will have the fix for lower php versions in the install. |

ok, i have fixed the duplicate post problem. it now inserts the data into the rss_feed and rss_date fields. it should check the post and not post it if it is a duplicate.
also, i have included in the rss_update.php file a section of commented code. if you use a version of PHP prior to 4.3.0 you will need to uncomment this section out, and then comment the 2 lines above it. |
