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!

I installed it on my boards(www.rackchat.com) about an hour ago. I tried to limit the number of articles to be posted by adding variables in the URL but when I run the task it doesn't add anything to the forum, yet I don't get any errors. When I remove those variables everything works. I haven't read through all 33 pages so it might have been suggested before. Anyway adding another option to limit the quantity of threads it starts or a way to limit the articles it fetches would be a great feature.
Great hack though, well done! |
