[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

I agree. I get the same error. I`m running vB 3.5.5 at this moment. Would be cool to have this feature running with 3.5.5. Thank you

For some reason I still get random replies to this thread even though I unsubscribed from this hack years ago

It was a great hack but I really don't understand why you guys keep trying to get it to work, unsupported as it is and with VB 3.6 having a much better RSS feed system built right in to it. What's the point? Just make sure you uninstall this hack first before you upgrade to 3.6.

The point for me is, that my current ISP does not support MySQL 4.0 or greater, so I cannot run vB 3.6.x at all. And I still think that there are many people out there that don?t run or don?t have MySQL 4.0 and so the feature from 3.6.x cannot be used nor is an upgrade possible.

If this hack is unsupported, then I respect that and I don?t bother to post in here again. But if it is unsupported, then why not deleting this entire thread or just close it with remarks that this hack IS unsupport? It just confuses other people if it is still possible to post in here and to ask questions.

just my 2 cents for it.

Thanks anyway.

I am getting this error:

sb_test() in /****/***/****/********/******/**/forum/includes/class_dm_threadpost.php(1466) : eval()'d code on line 2

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix that? Thanks in advance.

I had this addon installed and then upgraded to 3.6.3
In version 3.6.3 there is also a database table called "rssfeed"

An upgrade to the new version the rssfeed table is overwritten, and you will get errors on the addon.

I rebuild the database table for this script and then did an uninstall of the product, then I rebuild the table that comes with VB 3.6.3

I think the uninstall of this addon was not successfull, the system is still sending me emails with database errors. And in the admin toolbar, this Inferno rss feed was not removed from the admin toolbar. The error :

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.3:

Invalid SQL:
select r.*, f.title from vb_rssfeed r left join vb_forum f on(f.forumid = r.feed_forum) order by r.feed_name;

MySQL Error : Table 'xxxxxxxx.vb_rssfeed' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

What can I do ?

<a href="http://one.revver.com/revver" target="_blank">http://one.revver.com/revver</a> offers an RSS feed with video clips (youtube style), will this Hack work same, or is there a mod that needs to be performed?

Getting the exact same error in 3.6.4. Can someone fix this or upgrade this version to 3.6.4?

[shaynehammy]

Bump.

I'm getting a million and one emails saying the above error. Can someone please help me to remove this completely so i dont get the error?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I am using RSS feed which is integrated in 3.6.4. I can post RSS feeds of other sites into specified forums in my test forum.

Though the posts are posted, I want to modify its content. Normally, the post ends with a link to its original place. How can I remove this clickable link and replace it with the full text of this thread such that my visitors won't leave my forum.

Thanks
David

Is there a way to post all rss feed from 1 rss feed to be posted inside 1 thread and have that thread be updated when rss feeds are updated?

instead of having each feed from that 1 feed be posted on seperate threads in a specific forum

thanks!
