Add Recent Blog/Site Feed under Postbit. Displays Recent Blog feeds or Site Feeds.
Developer Last Online: Nov 2010
Graphical Instructions are available at Bookmark My Services .
However i am adding the Instructions to install the same without images here. Features: 1. Add Rss Feeds in your Profile and Display the Feeds Title in postbit under your userank or usertitle. 2. Works with Wordpress,and any RSS2 feeds including Vbulletin Forum Feeds. Example http://www.bookmarkmyservices.com/fo....php?type=RSS2 will also work. 3. Works and compatible with All previous and possible upcoming versions of VB. 4. Uses CafeRSS to parse XML feeds. PS: I am not the original author, was not able to find link to where i got it from 4-5 months back, so if someone can find the original author please post the users identity. (it was not taken from VB forums itself so is hard to locate the original author). Please Click Install if it works for you. All Support will deal with installing it , no support will be provided regarding feature additions etc. I will try to provide support here at VB itself but you can always contact me at Official Release Thread on Bookmark My Services. Step 1 - Creating the forum database fields We will be storing 3 pieces of information against each user. Site/Blog RSS Feed -URL of the RSS feed (xml file) this is the only field members will need to enter Last Blog Title - Title of the most recent entry on a member's feed,populated by PHP itself Blog URL - URL to a members site/blog feed(PHP handles this also) Go to AdmincCp>UserProfile Fields - Add New User Profile Field Expand the "User Profile Fields" on the left hand menu and click "Add New User Profile Field" Use the default of Single-Line text Box and click Continue This is where we need to enter all of the required information for new fields (one at a time). To start we will create the Site Feed field. Set the following properties: Title: Site RSS Feed Description: Please specify the full URL of the RSS feed of your blog or website. By filling in this field a link to your latest blog or feed entry will be displayed in all of your posts. We will now repeat the above steps for the other 2 required fields, and these will not be user editable (php handles that),for that we will need to change the Field Editable by User property to No. The settings to change for these two new fields are: Title: Last Feed Title Field Editable by User: No Title: Feed URL Field Editable by User: No If you now click on User Profile Field Manager (on the left) you should see all of your user profile fields like: Make sure you make a note(use paper and pencil if required )of the field names (in this case field5, field6 and field7) as we will need them later. Go to the User CP (Control Panel) and follow the link to Edit Profile you should see a new Site Feed Url field. Step 2.PHP script to handle the fields (basically Field 6 and Field7 in our example) cafeRSS will be used.Do not worry the file attached sitefeedcron.php contains all the PHP and will need minor but careful editing. You might need to change 3 instances of field5, field6 and field7 to reflect the profile fields that you created earlier (the one you noted down on paper). Thus, change all instances of field5, field6 and field7 according to your fields, say you have field7 for field5 replace field5 with field7 and so on. Step 3. Displaying the recent Feed/Blog entry under Username (only 2 edits required) In the vB Admin CP go to Styles & Templates and then Style Manager you now need to Expand Templates () and find the correct Postbit Template >> to edit. (postbit and postbit_legacy) You will need to edit the postbit_legacy (member details on left of post) and postbit (member details above) template depending on how you want to display feeds for the users on the forums. On my boards I am using the postbit_legacy and displaying our members last site feed entry under their user rank, to do this find the code in postbit_legacy PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Now,open postbit and find : PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Before you setup the cron edit the fields accordingly and setup the database name,database username and the password.And chmod file as 0644. PHP Code:
Now locate this code : PHP Code:
Similarly change the following field number in code : PHP Code:
Just remember for my example Field5 represents :Site RSS Feed . Field7 Represents : Last Feed Title and Field8 Represents : Feed URL That is the end of this tutorial. And here is what it will look like in the end after cron has run : http://www.bookmarkmyservices.com/blog-feed-tutorial/final-output.gif If you have any problems or questions please use this support thread only. This tutorial was modified and first used on Dmoz Resources Zone. I am not the original writer for the mod, long time ago I did search and had this sitting on my computer and only recently I have shared after testing with Vbulletin version 3.6.8. It has been on my forum since version 3.6.5.Now recently i tested it on my New Bookmark My Services Website. It has been modified from its original and PHP code edited also. Live Demo 1 Running Since 3.6.5 Version of VB Live Demo 2 Running on Vb Version 3.6.8. Please leave link to the site, since it took me some efforts rewriting the tutorial and editing few php code to make it work. To add Link to footer open Admincp>Styles & Templates>Style> Select your template and from dropdown menu select All Style Options and hit Go. Now under the Footer Field you see . Find PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Please do not use the modifications if you will not be putting link in the footer. Thanks Show Your Support

Installed easily enough but doesent seem to do anything, I have a feeling it could be the cron job.
Does the cron job run automatically or do i have to run the script first? , i notice on your other site there is a cron box in the tutorial, how do i get that box to appear? thanks. |
