Topic: RSS Feeder

[jcastellese]

I have a quick question. Our RSS feeds randomly time out and cause it to put them on the disabled list. This doesn't happen frequently, but we have about 50 different feeds (we has all of our bloggers posts pushed to the forums as well). One thing I'd really like to do is disable the ability of the Feed Reader to automatically disable our feeds. Is there a section of code I can easily comment out to prevent this from happening in the future?

SD - when you're about

I'm still on RC1 and haven't touched (RSS Feeder 1.1.1 according toPackage Manager in the admin panel) since the first half of the year,except to reactivate feeds when they go inactive (I can live with thatuntil the feed providers get their acts together).

Suddenly this month, I've got a server error log (not inside SMF - but on the server) filling up with entries of -

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function  db_query() in /home/druwa/public_html/board/Sources/Subs-RSS.php on line 145

The relevant code lines (143 - 150) are -

Code: [Select]


    // First get all the enabled bots
    $context['feeds'] = array();
    $request = db_query("
            SELECT
                ID_FEED, ID_BOARD, feedurl, title, postername, updatetime, enabled, html,
                ID_MEMBER, locked, articlelink, topicprefix, numbertoimport, importevery
            FROM {$db_prefix}feedbot
            WHERE enabled = 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);


$request = db_query("   is the offending line according to the errors

Any idea why this should suddenly kick up?
I only discovered it when my hosting got suspended earlier today, forserver abuse after hourly logs like this one on the hosting manager'sscreens -

Time: Mon Dec 28 09:06:21 2009 -0500Account: account-nameResource: Process TimeExceeded: 59012 > 1800 (seconds)Executable: /usr/bin/phpCommand Line: /usr/bin/php /home/account-name/public_html/board/index.phpPID: 8643Killed: No

Apparently each instance was running 24 hours+, and that's why they hit me with a suspension.

It really sucks because I've also found my users discussing the outage on the forums on other sites now.

Thanks in advance for any advice

That code is from the RSS Feed Poster mod from vbgamer, not my mod.

Hi Sd

Yes, so I've discovered - when I upgraded from v1.1.10 to 2.0 RC1, vbgamers mod didn't work - can't remember why but think it was an install error - so I deleted it.

However, checking the Sources folder, it has both Subs-RSS.php and Subs-Rss.php - the second one being yours.
As the Subs-RSS.php is the only file left standing from vbg's mod, it should not be running anything because nothing is calling it, including the scheduler.

Something seriously cranky is going on here, and I'm wondering if there's a case-desensitiser anywhere in SMF or your mod (or even in PHP) that might be causing the install to simultaneously, or alternatingly call the Rss and RSS versions of the file?

2am here now, but in the morning I'll dig out vbg's xml install file and do a manual purge of his system - hopefully without breaking yours in the process.

Sorry to have troubled you

Hi everyone,

I have some issues with getting the feeder to make the posts.

He posted 1 time and then for hours straight nothing, while new feeds kept coming in.
I also read ppl doing a manual start but how do i do that?
The only options i have is add feed and for the rest noting, and where do i edit the time when he gets the feeds and what exact part do i need to edit?
Just new to SMF and creating forums and such.

Running on SMF RC2

Thanks

(?:.*) should be (.*)

?: tells the match not to be logged in the match array.

Hi SD and everyone

Just a quick note for those who previously had vbgamer's Feed Poster plug in installed, and have switched to SlammedDime's plugin ....

I discovered the error source that caused my hosting account to be suspended (twice) was remainder files after uninstalling vbgamers mod eight months earlier.

The files it left behind were /forumroot/cronrss.php and /forumroot/Sources/Subs-RSS.php - those need manually deleted from cpanel file manager or via FTP
Additionally, remember to delete any cpanel cron jobs you set up for vbgamer's mod - they will continue trying to trigger the cronrss.php file whether it is there or not - causes server resource abuse and will get your account suspended most likely.

Hope it helps someone

Afro Can You Tell Us How You Get FIfa Working ?
Cuz I Coudn't
Even The Tut Didn't Help
I Tried With Many Regex

[lush]

hey guys, great mod.
was wondering if it would be possible to get it to post code tags properly?
eg  in origional post a link is between code tags and the link is not live


that post posted by the feed poster is a live link  with just the word code above it

[SlammedDime]

Unlikely... it would be near impossible to account for how everyone decides to implement 'code' tags on their site.

[virtualxtc]

If you have already pulled all the topics without the full article setup will it edit them if you set it up or does it only now apply to new post in the feed?

[SlammedDime]

It will only apply to new items from those feeds.

[GazOutEast]

Hi SD

Just wanted to give you a bit of praise - nice job on the upgraded package for 2.0 RC2 - flawless install and recapture of settings

Well done that man.

[virtualxtc]

It will only apply to new items from those feeds.

Thanks mate. Well done on this mod.

I have been getting errors with 1.1.4 on SMF 2 RC2.

When I delete topics via the moderator selection list:
Undefined variable: delete_own in RemoveTopic.php, Line: 613

Code: [Select]

if ($modSettings['postmod_active'] && !$row['approved'] && $row['id_member'] != $user_info['id'] && !$delete_own)
Less common via "index.php?action=admin;area=modsettings;sa=rssfeeds;feed=1":
Undefined variable: board in ManageSettings.php, Line: 2129

Code: [Select]

'selected' => !empty($_SESSION['move_to_topic']) && $_SESSION['move_to_topic'] == $row['id_board'] && $row['id_board'] != $board,
$delete_own and $board should be in the globals or defined somewhere?
