Article Bot
by velocd Article Bot is a script that allows you to assign a user account (preferably an exclusive one) to an article bot that will post RSS feeds in select forums at designated intervals. These articles are derived from RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds. RSS files are assigned to article bots, as well to individual forums, which in turn directs what, when and where your article bot will post. Features

RSS Feeds There are several in the install.html, but if you're looking for more than you could ever want, check out NewsIsFree's directory: http://www.newsisfree.com/sources/bycat/ Remember to click install if you use this hack.

You need to add two lines to the search.php file. Find this query:
Code:
$posts = $DB_site->query(" SELECT postid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread ON (thread.threadid = post.threadid) WHERE forumid IN(" . implode(', ', $forumids) . ") AND thread.lastpost >= $datecut AND thread.visible = 1 AND sticky IN (0,1) AND post.dateline >= $datecut AND post.visible = 1 ORDER BY post.dateline DESC LIMIT " . intval($vboptions['maxresults']) . " "); Code:
AND thread.postuserid != 1234 Code:
$threads = $DB_site->query(" SELECT threadid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread WHERE forumid IN(" . implode(', ', $forumids) . ") AND thread.lastpost >= $datecut AND visible = 1 AND sticky IN (0,1) ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT " . intval($vboptions['maxresults']) . " |

OK, some of my feeds are working although I only received three post's last night :ermm: (Do I have to set something to pull all new news form xml feeds?)
Anyway I get this error as well from Cron. <br /><strong>Warning</strong>: MagpieRSS: Failed to parse RSS file. (mismatched tag at line 45, column 2) in <strong>/articlebot/rss_fetch.inc</strong> on line <strong>230</strong><br /><br /><strong>Warning</strong>: array_reverse(): The argument should be an array in <strong>/articlebot/articlebot.php</strong> on line <strong>137</strong><br /><br /><strong>Warning</strong>: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in <strong>/articlebot/articlebot.php</strong> on line <strong>141</strong><br /> Cant see why it takes so long to show the feeds?????? |

Hello guys,
I've installed this hack many, many months ago but have not successfully ran the program. I initially installed the Article Bot so that the bot can automatically post the Google Alerts that I get from the e-mails. Thus, it would save me time since I still manually post the google alerts myself. Do you know how you can have this Article Bot post the Google Alerts to the specific thread? The Article Bot hack is currently installed. I appreciate your time! |

First add an article bot........
Seccond Add RSS to Article Bot (add the XML link I gave you) You should end up with something like I have configured for mine. All the rest of the info is in the readme........... |

I have searched and searched but cannot find a fix.
How do I get articlebot to stop posting duplicate and triplicate posts? I am posting my affiliate management clients RSS feeds to their forum. They and the readers get upset when they see posts for 4th of July coupons that have long ago expired show up in November or back to school sales in Dec. I had 3 article bots. One was posting tons of dups, one was good for awhile then started dups. The 3rd I thought was fine and then it finally started dups. It was not the feeds and does not seem to be the cron job since they didn't all start at the same time. I can't figure out the rhyme or reason. Was there a fix or upgrade for this? If the answer is NO - then what other hack is there that works good without any dups? Anyone that can install or get something working for me? I'm not very technical. Thanks Linda http://affiliate-marketing-forums.5s...eprograms.com/ |
