RSS Feeder

[Dark-Master]

I'm in love with smf 2.0 now, because of your GREAT addon ! But I cannot get it work. No post was made by RSS Feeder. I've set things up since 1 hour ago.

Is there any solution or requirement to get RSS Feeder woking on? thanks.........

I'm not sure how these boards work, whether only the person who created the code is meant to offer support, but have you gone to maintenance >> scheduled tasks in the admin area? you have to setup the time and frequency RSS feeder runs, there is also a 'run now' option to test it.

Big thanks to you, it works now.

Thanks for the help Jimi... anyone is welcome to help with support... helps me out for sure.   As for your issue, I'll look at it when I get home from work... thanks for posting the feed to look at.

Hello, I still don't understand about regex....if I want to get a full article from some website. What do I need to check on the webpage about regex?

Could you please give me some example. Sorry to ask this kind of favor, but I'm really new to regex.

Hi,

Great mod!
I do have one issue do:
Alltough the task is sheduled to run every 2 minutes, it doesn't import the feed right away, only after a long time. A local installed program 'feedreader' fetches the feed almost instantly, so the error is not in the feed.

Is there any delay for fetching? Is there some string I can change?

[SlammedDime]

Scheduled tasks run based on visits to your forum.... if you get one hit to your site every 5 minutes... or maybe even every 10 minutes because you do not have a busy site, the scheduled task will run every 5 or 10 minutes, if you have it set to less than that.  If you have a busy site, or one that gets a lot of hits every minute, then the scheduled task will run every 2 minutes.  It's just the nature of how SMF's scheduled tasks run.

[Guy Verschuere]

The tasklog says that the job is executed several times:

Why is the feed not fetched earlier?

What do you have set for the number of items to import each time the feed runs?

[Guy Verschuere]

0 = all

any ideas?

[SlammedDime]

Any errors in the forum error log related to the mod?

[Guy Verschuere]

Nope, none at all.

Does the mod remembers when he last fetched an feed?
Is there any setting for the frequency of fetching other than the sheduled task?

[SlammedDime]

It keeps track of when a feed was last fetched, but it isn't used for anything at this point.  It does, however, cache feeds for 2 hours, so if the feed changes that rapidly, it may not update.  It trys to use 'Smart Caching' to where it will detect if the feed has changed or not, but that is assuming that the feed is set to send the proper headers.  When I get home from work, I'll post some code you can use to disable the caching to see if that helps.

[Guy Verschuere]

OK, thank you!

[gffb]

tried to install on fresh 2.0 RC1 install and get the following screen. (see image)

[SlammedDime]

If you tried clicking the 'Install Now' link from the Package browser in SMF, there is a bug in that.  You'll need to download the mod from the mods page here and then upload it to your site from the 'Download Packages' screen in your admin panel.

[gffb]

That is what I did downloaded to my local pc then went in to my admin and ulpoaded from my pc to server then the error came up?

[SlammedDime]

Could be a software firewall on your computer causing an issue... open the file up on your local pc (you'll need something like 7 zip or Winrar) and make sure the files are there.  I just tested downloading from the mod site then uploading and it worked fine for me.


Guy - Open up ScheduledTasks.php and find the following:

      $rss_data->set_cache_location($cachedir);
      $rss_data->set_cache_duration(60*60*2); // 2 hours

and add this AFTER that.

      $rss_data->enable_cache(false);

[gffb]

This is the first mod that this has happened to so I am not sure about it being a firewall issue, however as you have asked I opened the file and winzip asked to decompress it to a temp folder and  inside the rss_feeder_1.1.1.tar.gz file was the following.(image)
