[Owdy]

This mod doesnt work with 1.1.12. That icon chooser is broken and it posts topics with blank subjects and bodys.

Make sure feed tables are utf8

Thanks for the response. Everything on my smf install seems to be utf8.

btw: I kicked 5$ via paypal your way as a small thankyou for the software. I'm not that rich, so I can't really afford more.

I noticed one more thing: I usually have the forum running in german.utf8. If I switch the language to english, the output of cronrss.php is: "RSS Feed Poster not configured"

Is that okay?

I use 1.1.12 and have no problem with the icons.

I have installed this mod on my site running 1.1.12 but have a few problems.

The install went fine so I set up a feed.  With HTML disabled the feed imports fine albeit with HTML tags in the text.

If I enable HTML every time I run the cron script or use the fake cron job I get a page with "Hacking attempt .." and the feed content isn't imported.  A view of the error log shows the SQL command to create the thread with the content and the HTML bbcode tags but this command is not processed.

I have enabled HTML in posts as well and if I post the content normally the thread posts fine.  I've looked back through 15 or so pages in this thread but only one person has mentioned this and they say they fixed it without leaving any hint as to what they did  

Any ideas ? Any help is appreciated.

I'm getting Hacking attempt... on my board and can't access anything on my board after installing mod.

How do you recover from this? I can't get to admin on my board to do anything

Resolved: I managed to login as another admin on a different browser and disabled the feed

[Leonora]

I found the source of the error message.  It's subs.php line 265 where the strings are cleaned and the query checked.  I'm still no closer to being able to get the mod to post HTML feeds though Commenting out the whole check then produces an SQL error if your feed contains apostrophes it looks like

[Leonora]

So the problem is apostrophes in the feed apparently.  Anyone know how to either remove them or parse them differently.  I've tried adding

Code Select Expand

@line 290 subs-RSS.php

$msg_body = str_replace("'", "\'", $msg_body)



To try and replace the apostrophe but this doesn't work.  I've also tried jsut removing it with a set of empty quotes but I still get Hacking Attempt... when trying to post through the cron script.  Interestingly though if I post the text in the error log manually it goes through fine and creates the post.

I'm interested in getting something like this mod working on my forum.  I have 1.1.12 but nothing seems to be happening.  I have windows setup and not linux so I was wondering what the best settings are for that.  My host does fsocketopen and is set at php5.  I'm not sure if FOpen works well with my host.

I tried all sort of different settings but am left with using fakecron and all types.  Anything I might be missing?  Thanks.

Is there any downsides using fake cron jobs via php ?

[vbgamer45]

Just adds an extra time check on each page load to see if it should run the cron.

[Owdy]

So its slows page load?

[vbgamer45]

It could for a user if the feeds need to run at that time.

[Owdy]

I dont get this. Yestyrday posts looked fine, today, missing [ html] tags. Html is enabled in feeds, whats wrong?

edit: seems poster should be admin to post html tags. Im quite sure poster wasnt admin yestyrday

[Owdy]

No, still missing html tags. Poster is admin, html is enabled. It worked yestyrday, but not today.

Post body is this

Edit: i used fake crons yestyrday, today actual cron. Could it be related?
Edit2: no, it cant be that. I just wonder what it is.

I use this mod on my forums and the feeds do work with the HTML option turned, however, it has created a lot of duplicates, is there any way I could remove all the duplicate Topics as they do have the exact subject....

Thanks

It doesnt look like this version is friendly with Atom formatted feeds. I was getting a ton of blank posts with empty source URL's trying to use Atom 1.0 feeds, using Feedburner's "Convert Format" option to RSS 1.0 or 2.0 I am finally getting post content, still empty source URLs though and some wonky format issues. Feedburner doesnt completely "format" the feed to what you select, it only does some, so there is still Atom 1.0 stuff in the feed which this mod doesnt know what to do with. Pure RSS 1.0 and 2.0 feeds its fine with though.

For reference im using SMF 1.1.12 with the latest copy of FeedPoster on the SMF mod site.

The feed im working with is as follows: http://feeds.feedburner.com/worldofwarcraft/IFjr (which is currently set to fake RSS 2.0 formatting). The original RSS feed is here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/feed/news

[IchBin™]

It could be that the feed you posted doesn't validate. Did you check that? Have you tried other Atom feeds?

@larryhyman, you should be able to just delete the topics like regular topics. There's no option built into the mod that I know of.

[Shadowwolf_tw]

Blah, you are correct, its not a valid Atom 1.0 format...

This could be the issue a lot of others are having with similar experiences of blank posts and bad URLs.
