RSS Feeder

[Yngwiedis]

Can someone help please ?

[Spuds]

try

Code Select Expand

~<div class=\'article_pure_text\'>(.*)<\/div>~isU

[Yngwiedis]

With this i get only the text of the article without images...

[Yngwiedis]

Hello again...

I dont get the ful article with this one.
I get only the RSS feed...

I just want to post articles from a greek news site to my forum, but i cant make any of them to display the full article.
Can i give you more HTML examples ?

Thank you very very much.

[Kindred]

I have not ever gotten it to pull the feed itself, not the full article.

Which is fine, actually, because the idea is that you are "borrowing" the info from another source, so you should be pointing people to the actual source.

[Yngwiedis]

I will point people to the actual source with the article link.
Is not enough ?

[Kindred]

as I said, I take the contents of the RSS feed, since that is what the sites have made available.  Taking the whole article is "iffy"

[Yngwiedis]

Taking just one line from the RSS feed is not useful for my needs...

Wow, there is no way to use extended characters in some important fields like Title, Prefix, Footer?
If we use them the texts gets trimmed

btw, there is no way to post as a non existing member?
we will have to create bot members just to be able to post feeds?

You can disable the errors from showing up by altering the error_reporting line near the top of SMF's index.php to exclude E_STRICT messages (~E_STRICT).

It should be like this?

error_reporting(defined('E_STRICT') ? E_ALL | ~E_STRICT : E_ALL);

great mod thx
But one question 
is it possible, that maybe 5 feeds post in one topic (or all my feeds)?

Hey,

I am having a current issue.. Most of the feeds I get now have video previews of the games..
I was wondering how I would possible get this to strip the video link?
I have AEVA installed so all I would need todo is get the video link from a piece of code that looks like this..

Code Select Expand


<object width="560" height="315">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZjrsBq89VcQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZjrsBq89VcQ?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true">
</object>


All I want it to do is grab one of the YouYube links from here..
How would I do this?

Could someone help.... I unchecked HTML Enabled when editing a feed in Feed Poster Configuration.  Now the edit ability of that feed is completely locked out.... i can no longer edit that feed... delete that feed... or ad a new feed...   I tried and uninstall reinstall... but the Feed Configuration remains the same.  Can someone get me back to where i was?

I apologize if these have already been asked a million billion times...

1) Can I install RSS Feeder alongside RSS Feed Poster? Will it cause any conflicts?

2) How gracefully does RSS Feeder handle HTML? I'm getting a lot of feeds with gobs of HTML in them (tables, line breaks, paragraphs, italics, links, etc). How well does RSS Feeder handle these kinds of feeds?

I wonder if enough of us got together and each donated 50 bucks we could entice the author to start working on Feed Poster again.

I like the package, but its in-ablity to process graphics and habbit of putting HTML codes into the post make it difficult to use

I'd put in some cash.

With a little fiddling around I got RSS Feeder to work very well in my forums. 

I modified some of the code to help clean up the incoming RSS with respect to HTML/BBCode, and now it's looking pretty good- it renders the images, HTML, videos, everything.

RSS Feeder also has one interesting feature I haven't had time to play with yet, and that's the option to retrieve the entire article. I plan to try that out and see how it goes.

If you want to take a look you can see the RSS poster in action here:

Currently it's posting to two different boards, "Atheist News Feeds" and "General Atheist Discussion".

MrMike,
Any chance you could post the edits made on here? I would like to try this out but am not able enough to work out what code needs altering. Thanks in advance.

Sure, here you go. I'm not 100% positive that both of these edits are required, I'm still doing testing but it seems to be working for me. Let me know how it goes.

In "Sources/Subs-Editor.php", find this code:

Code Select Expand

// The harder one - wysiwyg to BBC!
function html_to_bbc($text)
{
    global $modSettings, $smcFunc, $sourcedir, $scripturl, $context;

Change it to this:

Code Select Expand

// The harder one - wysiwyg to BBC!
function html_to_bbc($text)
{
    global $modSettings, $smcFunc, $sourcedir, $scripturl, $context;

    // Replace any '[size=-x]' instances with with '[/size][size=x]' 
    $text = str_replace('[/size][size=-1]', '[/size]', $text);



In "Sources/Subs-Rss.php", find this code:

Code Select Expand

function striphtml($document)
{
    // Just in case there aren't breaks after a </p>...
    $document = str_replace(array('</p>', '<br />', '<br>',  '</div>'), array("</p>\r\n", "<br />\r\n", "<br>\r\n", "</div>\r\n"), $document);


Change it to this:

Code Select Expand

function striphtml($document)
{
    // Just in case there aren't breaks after a </p>...
    $document = str_replace(array('</p>', '<br />', '<br>',  '</div>', '', '[size=-2]'), array("</p>\r\n", "<br />\r\n", "<br>\r\n", "</div>\r\n", "", ""), $document);
