RSS Feeder

[Spoogs]

I'm also willing to contribute to a more advanced version of this mod.

Fact is when a mod is developed with features for those who know what they are doing those of us who dont get left out. I too barely understood 2% of how to get the full articles (sure its simple fr those who get it but i just dont)

I use this mod for the sole purpose of discussing certain things on my site. I use to go to the necessary sites and copy the articles then post them with a link to the original article and source. I was hoping this mod would have helped to eliminate doing that over an over. I dont want my users to have to leave my site to go else where to read the info then come back to discuss it (thats a bit redundant).

Hello,
this mod is really amazing, but I'd like to ask how to edit two things there. So, I have got posted topic, but there's date in English format, I want to remove that date from all next posts, how to do it? And two, there are two links to source website. First is to article and the second is to homepage. I'd like to change that second one to (for example): Source: http://www.website.com How can I make it?
Regards,

thanks for the responses. yeah it's been giving us a pretty hard time for sure!

I hadn't even though about our host blocking RSS bots. I'm putting in a support request to see if they've made any changes that might have caused this.

To follow up, we have it checking about every 5 minutes. This is pretty frequent, but we have about 35 feeds coming into the site, and people want to see their stuff instantly coming up..

Also, here are the links to our other feeds from monroenews.com..
http://monroenews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?CATEGORY=NEWS_RSS&omniture=0&MIME=XML
http://monroenews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?CATEGORY=SPORTS_RSS&omniture=0&MIME=XML
http://monroenews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?CATEGORY=OBITS_RSS&omniture=0&MIME=XML

If you guys do come up with any ideas still I'd love to hear them still in case it turns out to be something else.

If i find the problem any time soon, I'll be sure to post it up here too in case anyone else ever runs into this as well.

Also having similar problem with:
http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=rss01&mime=xml

pbcs.dll is that the problem?

Hello,
I am using this mode: RSS Feeder 1.1.4 and the Cron Job doesn't work!
In order to work the post, I should delete the Feed and this the Job manually!
this is the RSS link:
http://www.astrodestin.ro/rss/zilnic.xml [nofollow] 

Am I doing something wrong?

[ehsizzup]

Hello all,

I'm having trouble with correcting posting any feeds from Google News using RSS Feeder.......

The feed contains several spots with negative font sizes [size=-1] which causes BBC code to show up in the topic.  See below...

What is the best way to fix or work around this problem?  Do we try to change RSS Feeder or tell SMF to ignore/strip/change the bad BBC?

Any advice and direction appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Gerry.



UPDATE: Solved by using WORD CENSORING.  May the code gods forgive me.

Hello everyone!

First of all I want to say I really love this mod, I use it for a lot of feeds.
I was wondering how to make some modifications to the php to remove the timestamp, my host an me are in a completely different timezone so I'd really love this timestamp to be removed. Further more I would like to have the source link removed and replaced with the article link (which is a source link as well)
What do I have to do to have these changes. I don't know anything about php. 
If you could help me this would be greatly appriciated!
I attached 2 pictures with the situation now and the situation I would like to have,..   

Thanks very much, regards,
Robert

hello
to get better answers and faster try to create your own topic for your problems in the future.

theres  a few way of going about this you can adjust your sever time zone which would be the easyiest fastest fix. You can remove the time stamp from being displayed but i suggest NOT to do that.

i understand the changes you want above with the post it self but i must warn you those link changes will effect the story in search engines. i strongly suggest you keep the URLs as they are where they are they are done that way for search engines. the email this and send to friend stuff are what make new sites grow really fast. the myspace effect as they call it. sure looks better with out it a little but if its a good story people will use those bookmarks and send to friends.

the maker of this mod makes many mods and support can take a while. i suggest if you want a little better support AND you like SMF then upgrade to charter membership it supports the site allows you to get better support and keeps the site kicking.

No
We prefer users ask questions about mods in the mod topics, NOT by creating new topics on the board.

Moodx - What you're wanting to do for the most part is doable, but I simply don't have the time to adjust the code for you... you're welcome to look in Sources/ScheduledTask.php in the rss_feeder function and see if you can adjust it yourself...

SlammedDime thx for writing a great mod. I'll have a go at it, my quess is to start at function scheduled_rss_feeder()
I'll fiddle around with it, maybe I'll get some php knowhow in the process ;-)

Regards,..

[Moodx]

WOEHOE!! took me a little time but I did it!

In Souces/ScheduledTasks.php  find     // Format the post     and replace whats there with whats here!


                        // Format the post
                        $message =
'' . $body . '

' . ($item->get_permalink() !== null ? '' . $title . ' [nofollow]' : $title) . '

' . (!empty($feed['footer']) ? $feed['footer'] : '');

                        // Might have to update the subject for the single topic people
                           

Thanks for the hint SlammedDime,..
Regards,..

[SlammedDime]

Updated for 2.0 RC4...

Added a column for the last time the feed updated
Took out the column with the feed URL and wrapped the feed title in the URL.

[DirtRider]

What would be nice if you could add a feature where members could ignore certain feeds they have no interest in 

[SlammedDime]

As a workaround for that, you could create a board for each feed, maybe inside of a parent board for 'Feeds'... and your members could ignore certain boards.

[DirtRider]

Yes this is how I am doing it now but think about the idea as it would be super cool to have this feature built in 

[ravendr]

Hi there, I'm having a small problem with this mod, I'm importing an RSS Feed from google code into my forums and the formatting seems to be lost in the process;

I've added an example as attachment

Thanks

[Robert.]

The awesome thing of this mod is, it really works! I love this mod! Thanks, SlammedDime

[imogen]

I was wondering if I could use this mod to automatically post an application form to my forum.

I currently use Coffee Cup Web Form Builder to create an application form. I then have the form submitted to an email address such as http://dodgit.com/ [nofollow] which lets me turn the email into an RSS feed.

The first time I retrieve I get any emails in a post with a link ( i need to work out how to use regex to get the lot I think)

But whenever I send more emails to the address I cant retrieve anymore or get the feed to post anymore.

Can anyone offer any advice?

It might be that this mod just isnt suitable for what I am trying to do.

Cheers,

Imo.

[LotusRS]

Need to give me help.

How do I edit posts RSS Feeder to look like as shown in Figure 001 Another question is why rs feeder will not put all the pictures in the post.
and the third question is whether it is possible that the RSS feeder has a limited number of characters to display for example 255 characters.

Thanks for your reply

[tHe-KiLlEr]

What does the mod mean by "Required if retrieving full article. This must be PCRE format. The match is expected to be in second index of the array ([1]). " i am also getting time evrytime i am trying to add a new rss

[PatrickPriest]

I'm having an issue with the time the article was posted.

It always comes up as "31 December 1969, 7:00 pm"

How can I correct that, or take out the date/time?
