RSS Feeder

[Liam.]

Is there any way to stop the feeds from being listed in the Recent Posts section of the board index ?

As the whole point of this modification is to throw an RSS Feed in as a regular post - I don't think so, however I will look into it a little later, no promises though.



Also, for all who are wondering, Spuds kindly sent his custom version to me a few weeks ago, and I have went through it - there are one or two things to fix, then I'll officially update it

Rockin Liam. Thanks for the speedy reply and update.

[Liam.]

M'eh, just timing I got here 30 minutes later (and 40 minutes later now )

Why all my feeds deactivate alone??

They post about 3 or 4 posts and then just deactivate automatically

COuld you look into this Liam?

Thanks

[Liam.]

Well this was used on CombatFPS.com and it worked fine - and I've done it myself and it doesn't seem to deactivate automatically - maybe something to do with your host setup?

Check the error log on your forum... any time a feed is disabled, an error is thrown in the error log to let you know why...

[Liam.]

Or what SlammedDime said ^_^

I guess I should've known that :/

I'm new to feeds using the latest smf rc3

I've enabled the rss and set it to get a feed from Yahoo Answers, but I'm not getting any posts from the feed

Any suggestions?

Which feed exactly? What other mods have you got installed, and have you got any custom coding done? Did any errors occur upon installation of the mod?

[KirkhamsEbooks]

No errors on install

Just installed the forum so no other mods

Yahoo answers spreadsheet

Have it set to 100, perhaps too much? Does it wait until 100 is available?

Using a profile with regular user rights so all the posts don't say admin

Okay that was wierd

To make sure I copied the rss feed okay I pasted it back into the feeder. Now I have 50 posts. Could a space at the end or anything had made a difference?

The don't run immediately when saved... they run and import when the scheduled task runs on your board (or manually if you go to the scheduled tasks panel and run it there)

[KirkhamsEbooks]

Timing must have been just right then again

I had 0  posts last night, went into modify, saved, then had 52 posts (requested max of 100). I think I read the default was about 6 hours, but perhaps that is dependent on the load of the feeds themselves? Still an interesting coincidence

First of all Liam - thanks for your mod - it's actualy great !

I have a question.

I would like to have several shedules, means some feeds posted at different timings and not all at same time
is this possible ?  or can I just install this MOD several times ?

thanks for your help

I haven't publically released anything for this mod yet - SlammedDime did it all, the thanks goes to him

You can't install the mod several times, it'd create several errors, and at the moment there's no way to have separate feeds post at different times - sorry...

[Liam.]

I presume that's what's being posted into your forum topics from a feed?
