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! Support provided through this thread.

I have done this install a few times and never had a problem... this time I am getting the following


Warning: main(class.RSS.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/ureside/forums/includes/RSS/rss_update.php on line 28

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'class.RSS.php' (include_path='') in /home/www/ureside/forums/includes/RSS/rss_update.php on line 28


I have gone over my edits and do not see a problem... Is there something I have to edit in the update file???


I fixed it.... I had to go into the RSS/rss_updae.php and edit the path to the class.RSS.php file.... If somebody else has this problem I hope this helps

Excellent job. This fixed one of my problems. Thank you!

Some suggestions for version 1.27... :squareeyed:

* The management tasks[Add a Bot], [Modify Bots], [Delete Bots], [Delete All News] shouldn't it be a submenu item of RSS NewsFeed on the navigation frame, instead on a single page?

* When [Delete Bots] is selected, the name is not displayed only the ID. Can the name be added?

* A title for the feed would be nice. So instead of some obscure URL, a standard source would descibes it. i.e. "Medical News" instead of "http://blahblah.blah/~blah.rss"

* Would it be possible to display a list instead of individually managing the RSS feeds?
i.e.
1. [ Source(text)] [Title(text)] [User (text)] [Enabled (Radio)] [Delete (Radio)]
2. [ Source(text)] [Title(text)] [User (text)] [Enabled (Radio)] [Delete (Radio)]
It is very unlikely that someone whould have a 25+ feed... and if they do there is always the scroll bar... :nervous:

* Although I understand the convenience on deleting all fetched news, I don't think you need (should ) to have this option. The pruning of posts by user is already available.

* Can you add additional functionality such that are available in "fps_external " are available? That would be a PERFECT combination!

Again, thank you for a job well done.

you have the wrong file in the cron area. it is looking for this file:

rss.php..php

that's not the name of the file. edit it so it only ends with .php

Hello,

I have troubles with Article Bot and duplicate threads being created.

Does this hack work about the same way? Is it more intelligent? (fewer duplicate posts)

Thanks!

Hello all

I am running VB3.08 and installed this hack no problem, everything went smoothly but soon as I try run the rss.php file I get this error!

rss.php

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/virtual/site58/fst/var/www/html/forum/includes/functions_newpost.php on line 409

I retried with a clean functions_newpost.php file but it came up with the exact same results, has anyone managed to install this on the latest version of vb and got past this error?

Thank you

Stu

Hello,

I installed the Modified RSS News Feed Hack, but when running a scheduled task following error message occurs:

PHP Code:
Warning: main() [function.main]: Unable to access class.RSS.php in /home/www/htdocs/gold-games.com/forum/includes/RSS/rss_update.php on line 28

Warning: main(class.RSS.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/htdocs/gold-games.com/forum/includes/RSS/rss_update.php on line 28

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'class.RSS.php' (include_path='') in /home/www/htdocs/gold-games.com/forum/includes/RSS/rss_update.php on line 28 
Has anyone an idea how to fix the problem?

Greetz,
Robert

Does this script correctly parse images in feeds to (img) vB code tags? I know the layout can't always match the original, but still displaying them would be nice.

Also, does the script correctly parse <enclosure> tags into (url) vB code tags? This is most often used for Podcasts.

I'm new to vB and this is the first hack I tried installing. However, when I click the link in the Admin CP, I get a 404 page not found error. Any ideas?
