OK, which functions manipulate the strings? where should I start looking for the problem? You don't have anything like a sequence-diagram, which would make it a lot easier to "see" what's going on?

To add  more light to my problem (hope help others too), I see this on error log:

.../index.php?action=feedsadmin;sa=admin

Can't load language file 'FeedPoster.spanish'.

I will tell you will need to look at htmlspecialchars function i use that to strip invalid input on any entered information.

I'm attempting to grab the news from a local television station so that my users can comment on the news inside my forum.

The RSS Feed is this :: http://www.kwes.com/Global/category.asp?C=83261&clienttype=rss

However, the RSS Feed Poster Mod does not / cannot / will not recognize the feed in order to grab the feed in order to post the feed. I know the mod works perfectly for the RSS from my directory.. here's the thread on my forum that I use to grab feed from SMFoogle.com :: http://forum.midessa.net/the-smfoogle-network-site-showcase-b77.0/ ..

Is the feed screwed?

Nevermind. I figured this one out.

Problems getting a feed to read ?
Input the problem feed into :: RSSMix. And combine it with your own cocktail of unique feed(s) while you're at it.

Ths mod couldn't read the direct feed from :: http://www.kwes.com/Global/category.asp?C=83261&clienttype=rss . However, when this particular feed was put into RssMix, it can now be read.

First of all thanks to VB for another useful mod !
You rock man ;)

i tried several feeds and they all worked well.
It even displays greek characters without problem (i don't know if they are UTF-8 or not)

The only problem with this mod is that fakecron hangs my forum also , i 'll try real cron instead!

(ouf ! i already read the previous 24 pages !! )

Thanks again VB.
I'm looking forward to an inspired update :)

Question:  Over the last week, I had numerous "spam" posts (porno links), despite having the wiki_blacklist set up, etc.  The reason I'm posting here is because all of the spam posts but one were in the top 2-4 posts of newsfeed posts (the 1 was a weak attempt at a spam on Ultimate Shoutbox that didn't succeed), which leads me to believe that something in my newsfeeds is attracting the little beasts.

In response to each post, I've done the gamut:
Check the whois and ban the appropriate IP/IP range
Add the link site domains to the blacklist txt file manually
Add the faked user names to the "reserved names" list

The bots switched IP ranges almost as fast as I banned them. I finally had to go into newsfeeds and literally set all of them to locked topic.  The bots kept trying for another 24 hours, then finally gave up (knock on wood). 

I'm just wondering if it IS something in the newsfeeds that's attracting them or allowing them to slip past all the other security devices.

Attached Subs-RSS.php works for me...

Hi there, first of all thank you for taking the time to do this, and to vbgamer for an excellent mod. I was having formatting errors with apostrophes and quotes until I uploaded the modified subs-rss file.

But now I am having another issue, and that is the following error messages being generated in the logs for all users:

8: Undefined index: description
File: .../public_html/smf/Sources/Subs-RSS.php
Line: 417


Instead of "description", it also says "title" and "link". And this one:

8: Undefined offset: 0
File: .../public_html/smf/Sources/Subs-RSS.php
Line: 409


Anyone know how I can fix this or what it means? I'm not even sure if users are seeing it as no one has complained yet.

Thanks!

vbgamer45

User's wont see that erorr that error is a tricky one not sure how to fix it sometimes it occurs.

It would be nice option to add to display the the RSS Feed News Page. In an IFRAME directly in the page as it causes much more traffic for your site.. I just currently are converting my PHPBB forum over and looking for the features i had on my old board... I had a similiar mod but it embedded the RSS Feed Page Into the Forum Page so people could discuss and talk about it...

Here is a link to my current board and how it looks.

This would be a nice option have available..

Suggestions?

Feed Poster Configuration


Getting that every 5 minutes(thats my cron job time limit). It's emailing that to me. Also, even though I've got the feed to use a name that exists, it still posts under guest.

Using SMF 1.1.2

"It" being cron? That's proof cron is working correctly. If you wish to modify cron behaviour, just google or use "man cron".

THIS MODIFICATION HAS CRASHED MY ENTIRE SITE!

I installed this modification, and asked it to run a cron job.  My forum locked up and now is totally inaccessible.  Luckily, I am running it on a test forum.  But my test forum is now down.

Can someone tell me how to recover from this?

What do your error logs say?

Freddy888

Just for the record I got this running on 1.1.2 alongside TinyPortal 0.98.

I didn't know about Cron jobs before, but I get the idea.  Is there something I am supposed to do with the cronrss.php , like does it have to be in a certain place.  Or do I have to enable it in some way?

Reason I ask is I want to use a few bots to post news, but obviosly running a fake cron slows down the forum a bit when it checks the rss every page.

Please can someone give me an idea of what to do regarding the real cron job.

Thanks.

Great Mod :)

Oh my, I'm glad you asked!!!!

My error logs are filled with the following message, reported every minute for the past 24 hours:
File does not exist: /home/festool/public_html/404.shtml

Or some other varieties of "File does not exist."

My site is still down.

Remove this from index.php

// RSS Feed Poster run fake cron job
if (!empty($modSettings['rss_fakecron']))
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-RSS.php');
UpdateRSSFeedBots();
}


And turn off any corn jobs.
