What is the feed url that you are trying to use?

technica · January 19, 2010, 10:22:48 AM

I am trying to get news from osnews.com also the fsockopen is enabled on my site.

It fetched the latest news when I checked the "Use fake Cron jobs" option but then it never run and gave me latest news.

Other question where I can download the latest version of this MOD? I mean THE Latest.

That latest version of the mod is from the mod site.

Try using a real cron job instead read a couple posts back

What is the full url that you are using so we can see if it is well formed.

Here is the URL:

http://www.osnews.com/files/recent.xml

That feed looks ok valid in firefox

technica · January 19, 2010, 10:40:10 AM

Yes but the MOD is not fetching any latest news from that URL

I have set "All" for methods. do i need to specifically select the method from drop down options?

vbgamer45 · January 19, 2010, 10:43:59 AM

Yeah I would try other other ones instead. All just uses the first one that might work.

What are you using for the cron job?

technica · January 19, 2010, 10:49:24 AM

No, I mean, when running the cron job file from firefox manually, it gives me error "404"

Also about the one setup in the my control panel I have setting that just sends me email whenever cron job is run, and I get error that says no such file exists.

vbgamer45 · January 19, 2010, 10:50:04 AM

You tried running http://www.yourforum.com/cronrss.php?

technica · January 19, 2010, 10:51:03 AM

yes thats true

vbgamer45 · January 19, 2010, 10:52:14 AM

Then you are probably missing a file from the mod Are you using SMF 2.0?

technica · January 19, 2010, 10:53:22 AM

No friend I am using SMF 1.1.11

vbgamer45 · January 19, 2010, 10:54:53 AM

REdownload the mod copy cronrss.php to your root folder of your forum.

technica · January 19, 2010, 10:57:31 AM

Done that, but still the same error.

Can you give me files names that should get uploaded with this mod with directory structure?

I can check whether all the files from the mod are on server or not?

vbgamer45 · January 19, 2010, 10:58:18 AM

You can check from the modsite using modparse or extracting the zip. Also check permission is good on cronrss.php should be 755
