No me agradan los foros que no te dejan borrar TU PROPIO usuario, como por ejemplo smfsimple.com.
E incluso te mandan emails no solicitados, de los cuales, quizá, no puedas escapar porque NO te dejan posibilidad a deshabilitarlos (a menos que NO te tengan en su lista negra).

Here's the feed I'm trying to set up: hxxp:www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?id=34756197818&format=rss20 [nonactive]

Any ideas?

Try "sanityzing" that feed using hxxp:chimpfeedr.com/ [nonactive]

Wow!  That worked.  Thank you very much.  Never heard of "sanitizing" a feed.

Will the Mail Chimp feed URL remain accessible indefinitely?

Me neither, just had to call it in some way (but I doubt to be the first using it).... the usual use is when a script clear/sanityze human inputs, etc...

BTW, you may want to send facebook a bug report about that

I think so... at least until they go bankrupt, paid, changes policies, TOS or something

Outstanding mod, like usual!

Is it normal that the whole RSS isn't posted and only a part?
Or is that just because of the feed.
Useful paid mod: Badge Awards - Award members for actions

Yes that is normal since it only grabs what is in the feed

Hi,

I have issues with this mod, it wont fetch news from feeds that work? it fetched 1 feed from bbc tech, i changed it to every 30 minutes last night and insert 3 new feeds, there are new feeds on that but it wont fetch them

MrMike

I had some issues with this mod that I couldn't resolve..I'm now using the RSS Feeder mod which seems to work very well.

I modified mine so that it randomly picks a user from a special group of users and posts as them, changing each time it makes a post (it looks more natural that way).

Instead of 100 posts all by one user, you randomly get (for example) one post by user A, a post or 2 by User B, a post by user C, one from user A, one or two from user D, and so on.

I also have it randomly vary the post icon about 40% of the time as well.

a most excellent tip!!! - makes forum look more active that it really is and helps bring in users

cheers for that  8)

It should whats the error?

hi VBgamer

it says
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.
i deleted it, uploaded again and retried...?

snadge

sorry VBgamer

I removed your feeder as the thing didnt seem to do anything after working once? any ideas? this was on default settings
ichanged them (all 3 feeds) to 30 minute checks but nothing posted, i changed to 'check for update on all pages' and they all updated once and once only..?
even set on 30 minutes with new items after many hours it would not post

MrMike

I think you have to emulate 2.0 RC4, if I recall correctly.

Quote from: snadge on October 25, 2011, 06:27:46 PM
that RSS Feed wont install on 2.0.1 :(

snadge

@ MrMike - i got it installed using emulation, not tried a feed yet but there are no options to choose icons or users at random? is this the correct feeder mod?

snadge

edit: i see you said you MODIFIED yours :( i dunno how... and it dont work like the other one and i cant just use ANY made up name like NewsBot

i want one that shows different users like yours...is there one?  or could you supply a snippet with instructions on where to install it?
and why do these feeders ...well... not get any feeds on my website?

EDIT: code removed due to possible bug, I'll repost this after tweaking it.

ok i managed to get RSS Feed Poster 3.0.2 too work but now images are not posting correctly, instead of image i get
<img alt="Samson Meteor Mic 5" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94|000020c53|3bbd_orh95w140_IMG-0718s.jpg" />

The reason the mod wasnt working was because file permissions on the cron.php file were incorrect, i never touched it so dunno what happened there.. my host helped me sort it out.

thanks for you help... you make some great addons, I would make a donation for this addon if it could choose random users from a group i create and use random icons too...

EDIT: just seen your post MrMike... I will try that one aswell and try your code..many many thanks

EDIT 2: tried RSS Feedr 1.1.5 (without your mod code) - and it doesnt have option for how long to check and nor does it post immediatley after creating job
so dunno if its working or not without having to wait a few days...any ideas on how to force it to update?

...also do you know how to make it fetch the entire article?  thanks MrMike

Try turning the update time down to 5 minutes?

I believe that's detailed in the documentation.
