i meant like what links... that end in .rss, .xml, or .rss.xml ?

nolageek

oh, neither....

(I'm finding that more and more feeds do not end in rss or xml anymore...


http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/hOcj
http://feeds.feedburner.com/MenInShirtAndTiesPhotos    
http://feeds.feedburner.com/Gnews1

Before the feedburner they were all crazy-long with all sorts of $ and ? characters.. but didn't end in an extension either.

TheWrath!

yes they do; what kind do u want like top stories, us news, et

L.G.S

I read the first 3 pages but couldn't find an answer, I don't have time to check through the rest right now so...

Installed the mod fine, nothing in error log. I placed this link into the box:

http://news.google.co.uk/nwshp?oe=UTF-8&tab=wn&ned=uk&topic=t&output=rss

and chose 60 mins for update time..

Set 5 for import amount, and saved it. Hour later, nothing showed up, so I ran the cron file even after making sure fake cron was ticked, but still nothing has happened.

^^I'm surprized you could even save a Google RSS Feed.  Mine just gives me an error because it doesn't end with .xml or something...

Google feeds don't seem to work.

Feeds currently can not contain & in them. .xml is not required. They need to be RSS feeds.

The RSS feed would be ideal if I can get it to work properly. One of the FEEDS I am using is
http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/business . The problem is I get a lot of tags and div's and many links. Is there a way to get a clean post?

Is there something I need to add to "Topic Prefix" box?

TIA

Yes what do?  It's a google feed for 3 search terms: "men suit tie fashion"
google feed was originally:
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=men+suit+tie+fashion&ie=UTF-8&output=rss


OK, I turned HTML off in the google feed and it's still a little wonky...


Armani's velvets bring soft touch to MilanReuters India, India - 12 hours ago"There's not much black today, it's true," said the designer, who stated "Black is cool" after his Emporio Armani show on Monday aimed at younger men. ...


UPDATE: For google feeds, I turned off HTML and used "censor words" to translate & # 3 9 ; (no spaces) to an appostrophy. and & q u o t ; to a " and it works perfect.

Oh my goodness.  I upgraded to 1.0.2 and now everything is being posted every 120 minutes, over and over and over and over and over and over again. 

I just got finished deleting about 80 posts...

Just want to say THANKS for this mod. The latest version works perfectly. It is posting into about 12 boards from all types of feeds. No blanks, either. I also appreciated that when I uninstalled the previous version and reinstalled the latest, all my settings were kept - that saved a lot time.
Thanks again!

That would be really hard to do without rewriting a lot of SMF code.

I am not that savy with code and all but I can get around thanks to many of you who explain things very well.

I am on Cpanel host and the only way to get the feed to work is to check the "Use fake Cron jobs" box but this slows my board down.

I have tried executing a cron job from Cpanel by pointing to direction of cronrss.php file in forum directory but I get errors from Cpanel

ie:

/public_html/forum/cronrss.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory
/public_html/forum/cronrss.php: line 2: /FAKEFS: is a directory
/public_html/forum/cronrss.php: line 3: RSS: command not found
/public_html/forum/cronrss.php: line 4: Version: command not found
/public_html/forum/cronrss.php: line 5: by:vbgamer45: command not found
/public_html/forum/cronrss.php: line 6: http://www.smfhacks.com: No such file or directory
/public_html/forum/cronrss.php: line 7: etc/: is a directory
/public_html/forum/cronrss.php: line 9: //: is a directory
/public_html/forum/cronrss.php: line 10: syntax error near unexpected token `'SSI.php''
/public_html/forum/cronrss.php: line 10: `require('SSI.php');'

I am not an expert, but when I run in browser it works and updates feeds one time, so I was figuring I could set a cron job on Cpanle to do this?

Have you clicked on the 'Cron Jobs' button in the cPanel? It's pretty straight forward...
