RSS Feed Poster

[n0NAMe]

This mod was working well for the first two manual runs and then stopped working without even touching any of the setting!

Has this happened to anyone?

If so, what did you do to fix it, please help!

I'm having the same problem.
Maybe I'm not getting it right, but is the following assumption correct? I either have to manually add a cron job that calls the "mydomain/smfforum/cronrss.php" or just load this cronrss-page once in a while to get the new posts? Right or wrong?
And what does "Use fake Cron jobs. Checks if feeds need to be updated on each page load." under configuration mean?

Regards

Best bet is a real cron job that calls that file every minute.

If not SMF 2.0 there is a scheduled task or fake cron job which checks on each page load.

Got it to work, but is it possible to remove links that are found in those RSS feeds?

The forum is 1.1 and even if I check "fake cron job", it does not update the rss feeds. It only works, if I manually call cronrss.php. I checked the forum error log, but there is nothing. Any idea what could go wrong?

The permission of the cronphp file must be set to 755, it was at 655 for some strange reason. Look it up in your index using filezilla, right click the cronphp file, you'll see permission settings. Click it and change the number to 755.

Great modification.

VBgamer, could you confirm if this modification counts the new number of topics in the forum history (I'm using SMF 1.x)?

For some reason, it counts the number of posts made by chosen posting member, even after I unchecked:

Makes new replies and topics raise members' post counts.

So, technically, it shouldn't raise their post count, but it is - and as a result, members are getting upset.

Now, the main issue is that the new topics are not being counted in the overall posts and new topics in the forum history.

- What's also strange is that on the main board-index, the number of topics and the number of posts increases like it should - but, just not in the forum history .

I have the latest version of this mod; is this an easy fix? Getting frustrated Anyone else experiencing this...?

Will pay 5 dollars (Paypal) for the first person to come-up with a valid fix...

I tried that, but it already was 755. I even changed it to 777 (which shouldn't be necessary because the file should not be written), but nothing changed. Feeds just don't load new entries. Any other ideas are welcome.

Hi, I have installed this mod but it does not appear to be working.  Curl is already installed, I have added an RSS feed but It is not creating the threads.  I also noticed that the cronrss.php is also broken:  http://tennis-chat.com/cronrss.php

Any ideas?

Thanks

[vbgamer45]

Your SSI.php has duplicate code causing an issue.

[mageguild]

How could this happen?  I never had any issues with SSI.php until I used this mod. 

Can you suggest anything to resolve this issue?  I would like to get this feature working. 

Thanks

For my test forum it doesn't work properly.

It only generates posts after i did something in the rss feed poster configuration. Otherwise it does nothing.

The post also look bad. full if code like <img <fdkjsqfk <wj ... No images or something.

What should I do about this?

Thanks!

It's because it's changing "<" into the html version rather than keeping it as the character. I found the fix after 20 minutes of searching this thread.

What would the cron command look like if I wanted it to call that file every minute?

[Dickstar]

This is potentially one of the greatest mods out there. I would pay money to have this working properly. I love it when it works, but it seems to have a mind of its own when to post what rss updates.

My cron job is called every 12 hours.

[vbgamer45]

I would call the cron job every minute or two. There is no high penalty.

True, but 12 hours is more sustainable because typically where you're getting ur feeds from will only update once or twice a day.

[MrMike]

Just my opinion, take it for what it's worth, but I'd think that once per hour (or even every few hours) would be more than enough. Calling it every minute or so seems like overkill to me.

[vbgamer45]

How else would the feeds run? If you have  feed that checks every five minutes or every 15 needs to run often.

[luuuciano]

Who have a feed to check on 5 minutes... 1 minutes? 30? 60?
Came one..... think about that.......
or are you feeding a twitter about........ "linux" (just to say something)




Anyway..... this mod did not work for me... just keeped publishing 2nd item.... no news at all




will try later
