Add-On Releases - EPC Autoposter [LITE] for vBulletin

EPC Autoposter [LITE] for vBulletin

What the heck is this?

Posts to your forums automatically via the REAL usernames of by predefining the usernames, rss feeds and the forum ids. Do keep in mind we do have a full blown version of the EPC Autoposter Full Version for vBulletin where you can take complete control over the whole posting aspect more easily.

All in all, everyone was wondering after creating 10, 100, 1000's of users on their forums and not able to to post with these users? So we decided to release this LITE version to accompany our other hack which is stated below.

Key features:

• Autoposter is easy to use!
• Simply fill in a few fields and that's it!
• If you use our EPC vBulletin Mass User Creator, this is your final solution to automated posting. Where you may post from anything that has a valid RSS Feed! So I guess the solution and to fill any void on your forums for using automated posting has come to an end for but we did create a full version of EPC Autoposter for vBulletin.
• Your forums will appear much more active and alive, resulting in many more users, and many more users = many more sales = $$$!
• Randomize the posting from an example 20 users, and 20 feeds, as this will assign everything randomly. Everything is totally random.

Complexity of Installation:

2 - Files to upload
1 - File edit
1 - Phrase added
1 - vBulletin CRON job
1 - Create an articles directory to store all articles.

Say perhaps 1 minute to 2 minutes max.

How do I get support:

Support is given to those who click INSTALL...

All support for the LITE version will be held here, and if you purchase the full version all support is handled in the order received by our full-time reps in the CSC, NO support is held here for the FULL version! No need for support actually as we have thoroughly ran it through the ringer in 48 hours, watching the forums fill up !

So here's the LITE version and it comes with a full set of instructions and if you require any assistance on how to find feeds and what places are best for feeds, do post them in here. Also if you post anything in here that has NOTHING to do with the hack and support related issues, i.e. Starting drama on how unethical it is and blah blah, keep your drama out please!

(Note: this thing can cripple a MySQL server if you are NOT careful, so if you post anything about how the server has gone away, please fix your MySQL my.cnf file to be more optimized. We will be happy to share our my.cnf optimization in the forums if any need help on it.)

Version 2 ::

Gives support of rotating and posting articles automatically along with the ability to mix in with the RSS feeds. (Create an articles directory inside your forums root for this)

Ability to manage all feeds, from one location which is persisted to the Add Autoposter underneath the RSS Manager Section inside vBulletin. Meaning once you enter these values, come back to this screen, everything is managed in the Add Autoposter for simple use.

Never duplicates posts of text files, once posted it will not post no more.

When posting from articles do note: The name of the text file will be the
Threads Title.txt, or Threads-Title.txt. (So yes the supported file extension is txt)

Do keep in mind the below:

Received a few PMs' here asking for names and some valid RSS Feeds, remember all these are fake names.... Now all the RSS Feeds are just via by keyword, you'll see...

So I thought I would generate a few for everyone to use at your own leisure to see. I found this tool very handy indeed for generating usernames via their built in dictionary:

Nice to use for a one-timer!

With the post prefixes, i believe there is an option that allows you to use prefixes but also doesnt require you to use one? or something simmilar to that.

so if you can find the option that allows you to require a prefix and turn that off everything should be all sweet.

Yeah this is all covered in the Full version of this hack, as you see this is the LITE, the FULL version is covered in the Description of the hack. Which gives you WAY more flexibility.

We are working on a new LITE and FULL here to where it'll support content from elsewhere , not saying yet because we now have quite a few supporters, so this has enabled us to move forward on gaining content from elsewhere, which will not be discussed until released.

Also, do note look on here:

URL: http://seattle.craigslist.org/rts/

See on the bottom right of EVERY page per each category?

FEED: http://seattle.craigslist.org/rts/index.rss

You can use each RSS Feed you see and syndicate this to your "advertisement" area on your forums for more content! Just a FYI to some that may like to utilize this free feed service that Craigslist offers!

Great mod! Almost done installing it. Just a quick question regarding step 3:

Step 3:
Now, go into the Phrase Manager and add the following phrase:
Variable: rss_autopost_add
Text: Add Autoposters

Where is the phrase manager found? Thanks
