RSS Feed Poster

[Fabiolas]

Actually to be honest with you.. I don't know which ones to choose.  Can you show me which ones to use, just show it will show the whole post.

I have 10 items in my feed lists I'm retrieving. I have the mod set to get 10 items. It never grabs the very first item in the feed.

If all 10 items are new, it will create 9 new posts on  my forum and not include the very first, newest item from the feed. I've tried it with several feeds and no matter how many items I set it to grab, it does not create a post from the very first item in the feed. I've tried it against a B2evo feed and a Wordpress feed. I used a several completely new feeds to test. I tried setting it to grab 14 items from a 10 item feed and it still only grabbed 9 not creating a post with the first feed item.

Experiencing this exact symptom. Running 1.1.16. Had previously upgraded from an older version of Feed Poster. Any ideas?

Thank you!

If you look at your pipe url you only see titles and not description. So, if you have one feed without content this mod can't know what is the content

So, go to your pipe what try this:

Cut content from: <div class="story_body"> to: <div class="authorByline authorBylineLarge">

Tried that along with recounting the forum stats but not working for me. Feed poster still at 0 posts.

It will only work for new posts

Yep, it sure does! Thanks for that.

Anyone found a way to stop the duplicate posts yet?  This is a great mod except that all the duplicate posts make is pretty much unusable.

[vbgamer45]

It has duplicate post check built in based on the title and description does an md5 check as long as those don't change...

I know you said this, but it doesn't work. I still get dupes...exact dupes.  And reading through this thread it seems other people do too.

How to prevent this mod from post duplicate content

This mod was design to generate an hash from title+description. But i figured-out that many rss feeds had gone crazy and my RSS Feed Poster started to create new posts without content or with minimum changes and under the same title. This is really not what we want when we are using pretty urls for example. And Google don't like duplicated content.

So, this change will generate an hash code just from title. So, it won't post duplicated titles again

Find(./Sources/Subs-RSS2.php):

Code Select Expand

$itemhash = md5($context['feeditems'][$i]['title'] . $context['feeditems'][$i]['description']);

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

$itemhash = md5($context['feeditems'][$i]['title']);

That made it worse.

[Fabiolas]

That made it worse.

Delete all posts and do this modification. After, please try again. It works here.

This thing is FABULOUS!   Huge props.   Running SMF 2.0.2

I've got two questions though...   am testing it in my "test" forum copy....

1) I'd like all of the new RSS posts *NOT* to be marked "new".   How do I do that?   I mean, when people click the "Show unread posts since last visit" -- I want them to see only the "Human" posts -- not the new RSS posts that have arrived.

2) I'd like the new RSS posts *NOT* to show up "Recent Posts" list -- again, only "human" posts should show up there.

In other words,  I have all the RSS feeds into their own "Category" and each RSS into their own "Board"  -- nothing in that category or in those boards should ever be "new" or ever be in the "Recent Posts" summary on the "Home" Page

Any suggestions....  is that a tick box somewhere I'm missing --- or is that available as another mod

I have some problems with "à" characters.

It posts "� " instead of "à".

What SMF version are you running?  Is your MYSQL databases set for UTF-8?  Is your SMF also set for UTF-8 character set?
