Not working.. apparently i dont have a ffrss.php file?

intrigue · #36 06-18-2008, 05:38 PM

Although i have this set to threads it still posts the RSS feeds as i item per post in 1 thread labelled with the label that i set the feed to.

Please can you tell me how i set it to threads other then simply setting it on the radio control button as this has me confused

Thanks

matt

I just want to make sure I understand this mod...

If I have it installed, and do NOT set a thread # for a particular feed, then posts from that feed will always start a new thread - is that correct?

I'm asking because I have one forum that I want each post to be a new thread, and another where the feed items should post to the same thread - this is possible, yes?

On my site, I do not have this mod installed, however, the "name of the rss feed" is not used at the title topic. Instead the name of the 'feed item' is used. How are you getting the actual 'feed name' to be used as the topic title?

I posted about this here, and on vBulletin.com: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=183141

Nope. In this case the forum will check up, whether there is a thread with the specified name in this forum. If is not present, he will create it.

Yes, it is possible. By default the forum gives two variants: to post as the announcement and as themes. The given module simply adds the third variant - to post as the post of the thread.

This function extends only on this module.
