[v1.6] Inferno RSS Forum Feeds Technology

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:

[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

Hello,

I have several feeds that are working nicely with vb3.5. The following feed I am having a problem with. The link is broken in the "archive" part of the link, within my forums there is a space inserted in the middle or the word archive. Is there a way for me to correct this issue?

The feed:

The examples:

(I fixed the fact that it's not a linked link already)

Thank you,

I have some uninterpreted HTML-Codes in the title:

for example an title looks like this:

Ja Rule mit "Exodus"-Compilation

Any fixes? I cant search this thread for &quot because it seems it is on the badwordslist.

edit: Ohh, and the Links arent parsed!

Ya it seems like Zero is not supporting this anymore. Anybody here willing to jump in and get this mod fixed for us? Very important mod to my community!

[vau7]

Oh that would be sad.
