This hack was made purely by request, and the fact IPB will have a similar system as default functionality, i wouldn't like them to have a upper hand to vbulletin

v1.5 Updates:
- Auto detect RSS settings system
- Forum stats rebuilt correctly (last post info)

v1.6 Updates:
- Various bug fixes

Description:
This once added to your forum allows you to connect to any RSS feed you desire, once set up the system will automatically post data from the RSS feed into threads within a specified forum.

Previews are available at the bottom, and an FAQ is built into the admin controls since I know not everyone will understand how to set up the options. Also an example to use a BBC UK News rss feed is below

Example BBC UK News Feed:
Feed Name: BBC UK News
Feed Location: http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonl...t_page/rss.xml
Feed Prefix: [BBC UK News]
Feed From User: Assign users username of your own choice
Feed Forum: Choose a forum you want threads to be posted into
Feed Read Direction: Newest First
Parent RSS Tag Name: channel
Items RSS Tag Name: item
Thread Title RSS Tag Name: title
Thread Post RSS Construct:
HTML Code:
[b]Published:[/b] {XML[pubDate]}

{XML[description]}
[url={XML[link]}]Read More...[/url]
Note: After adding a new feed i suggest clicking update for that feed, this will manually update that singular feed specified, the cron job included will automatically update all feeds, best not to have it update them all from the start otherwise it could execute a lot of queries. Further more I highly recommend you do not have lots of feeds unless your server can with-stand it.

Enjoy

Thanks for this - it works well and my users love it.

I've been able to get every feed I've tried but this one.

Anybody care to take a whack at it? Thanks!

Has the double-posting problem been fixed yet? is this or is it not v1.6?

Everyone says thanx at first, then we have the dupes! it's a great hack let down by two major bugs i've found, the dupes of course and the cron not updating the feeds (dunno about you but it doesn't update for me) no logs in my cron...nuthin!

I was so looking forward to this i made it a well publicized feature of my forums, just to have it stall and splutter and give a forum admin a red face!

You must be a busy chap, so no worries, it's a great hack which lies in wait for it's master to slap the bugs out!

I agree completely. Thats why I was so surprised when it was moninated for Hack of the Month in September (or was it August?).

A hack should have to work as advertised before being nominated for anything. This is a great hack on paper, but sorely lacking in implementation.

I think I've prevented the duplicates.

I'm going to test it out a bit more before I upload it though.

The hack manages the tag "enclosure" ?
