Possible but would require you to modify the code no setting at this time.

which file i should modify ? and what ?

[vbgamer45]

Would be found in sources/Subs-RSS.php you would have to find where it is adding the title to the body in that code

how do I know if this is working?

[vbgamer45]

You would see posts on your forum in the board that you wanted.

[alblove]

there is a way to get all the article ?

[vbgamer45]

No there isn't it posts whatever is in the feed that they have.
Sites don't like you reposting their entire articles either.

ok not seeing that... I have fopen turned on.. just double checked...

[vbgamer45]

Do you have a cron job setup?

It also uses either curl or fscokopen

[Harvester]

I have to set up a cron job? I thought that the mod just did it for me?

I did nothing more than install the mod, activate a couple rss feeds and made sure that fopen was on.

do I need to do more?

by the way I am using smf 1.1.11 

[vbgamer45]

Yeah should setup a php cron job to point to the cronrss.php file otherwise feeds will never be posted.

Yea you should be fine once you get that puppy pointed to correct file properly, I'm getting ready to update to latest version, but mine's been running great for several weeks now... gotta make sure you use the cron job's backoffice pointing utility to make sure it finds the correct file without any problems, each host's cron system is not the same setup, but if you don't get the path correct it will be a major headache, trust me.

ok I am in business now! Working great!

ONe question tho...

is there any way I can have a line of text added to the end of each post the feed poster makes? Id like to be able to do that somehow if possible.

[Harvester]

also, is there any problem with set a feeds update to longer periods of time... such as 1440 or 2880 minutes? (24 and 48 hours) does it make the server work any harder or anythhing like that?

[vbgamer45]

Doesn't cause any problems. Remember it also only checks when ever you have the cron job scheduled to run.

I've got mine set to update all feeds hourly at the top of the hour and only occasionally get a bandwidth spike, depends on how many new posts it finds and I have quite a few feeds set up...

Here is a minutes old snapshot of the stats covering my own bandwidth usage month to date, keep in mind that this chart covers my entire domain, of which, my SMF Forums are a small subsection and if you can read it, I rarely even approach 1/2 of my total monthly allotment...

Every hour is a good idea to have them checked for feeds it is a simple query to checks if the feed needs to be updated if so it fetches the latest feeds

Yea now if I can get a pesky minor problem with interference in the operation of the cron job by two other modules that I've got installed, the Twitter and Facebook Publisher and SMF Arcade, I'm getting error msg's in the status email that the cron daemon sends me upon completing its task, however it is not causing any functionality disruptions or SMF errors that I am aware of in any of the mods... the authors are looking into it hopefully to addressed relatively soon

I get error message whenever I try to add a feed.

XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 141

I am using SMF 1.1.1..
