I have a problem that the mod is posting the feeds in future time and when i react, my post is above the original one, see:
http://www.jongeren-forum.nl/geenstijl/ ... t1065.html

The My timezone is set right for the user wich is used to post. What could this problem be?

Hello,
It is a bug ... I know it ... Remove the edit in posting.php and it may work ... I have to rework this part ...

Thank you

Hello,

I'm installing this mod on a test serveur => -http://www.locarides.fr/

I've some problems to configure my database table phpbb_lastrss_autopost.

It' s written :
`name` - name of the feed - is also used in posting
`url` - URL of the feed ...
`next_check` - next check time (from PHP function time())
`next_check_after` - number of hours between checks
`destination_id` - forum_id where BOT will try to post
`enabled` INT( 1 ) - boolean - if true, this feed will be checked
But i must remplace 'name' by name of the feed ?
as on this picture ?

Image

Id' like to use this rss => http://www.mlyon.fr/rss/actu.php


I have ton put this value ?

'name' = Mlyon
`url` = http://www.mlyon.fr/rss/actu.php
`next_check` - next check time (from PHP function time()) ???
`next_check_after` = 1
`destination_id` = 2 (the only one forum on my server test)
`enabled` INT( 1 ) - boolean - if true, this feed will be checked

This mod seems to be wonderful so i'd like really to install it :-) !

Sorry fo my language.. i'm french !

Thanks

Hello,
... the image looks like you want to change the name of the column - no ... Don´t do that :!:

This is the SQL you need :
INSERT INTO `phpbb_lastrss_autopost` (`name`, `url`, `next_check`, `next_check_after`, `destination_id`, `enabled`) VALUES ('mLyon', 'http://www.mlyon.fr/rss/actu.php', 0, 1, 2, 1);
;) ...

Hi guys,

Great to see DEV on this MOD. I can't wait for a fully working product.

Quick Question - I have this exact type of MOD working 100% on my website for about 3 years now. It's a great MOD for the 2.x line: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=130271

It's called "FIND" - Forum Integrated News Delivery. It was written WAY WAY back in 2003 (ish) but DEV for it never continued on once phpbb3 was released.

Why not just take this code and port it into PHPBB3? I would think 99% of the code is there. Just need to port it up to phpbb3?

Thoughts?

Hello Steve,
thank you for tip, I´ll check it ... But I´m sure, that I´m not going to port it. My code is for (at least) 80% finished (only ACP is missing) - bot is posting the topics (with some bugs) and I´ve got "own" feed parser ... There is nothing new to develop, because we already got everything, only bugs must be fixed.

Thank you for the tip ;)

Either way and I'll be happy! 80% sounds pretty good to me! Can't wait for that last 20%!

Thanks and let me know if you need a tester!

Hi, thanks for this cool mod. I have followed your instructions but no new topics are being created!
- I'm using user ID 2, which is my own account with admin permissions
- Tried purging cache
- I have 6 feeds inserted in my database right now

Can't say much more, I will wait for another hour and see if anything is posted. Anyways, thanks for this mod.

Edit: Forgot to add, my database prefix isn't phpbb_ does that matter?

Edit2:
The values for next_check just changed to:
1211907430
1211907485
1211907526
1211907540
1211907587
1211908831

Edit3: I just figured out these values are in milliseconds, I changed one of them to 1 and then refreshed my forums to see if it would post new topics, but nothing :(

Another question:
Will this check for updates or just post the same thing twice if there are no new feeds?

Hello Thomisback,
  • Table prefix is necessary, yeah. ;)
  • "This post is waiting for approval" - you have to set correct permissions for bot account ...
  • milliseconds
    ... Time is in seconds ;) Unix timestamp
  • it posts some topics twice.
    It´s known bug now ... (will be fixed in next version)
  • Will this check for updates or just post the same thing twice if there are no new feeds?
    It´s checking updates after the cycle runs out and it posts only new items (duplicity is known bug for 0.1.0 & 0.1.1 versions)
  • Blogspot RSS feeds aren't working properly
    ... valid feeds works fine. But your feed is possibly not valid feed ...
Notice : you don´t need to post 4 messages, you can edit the previous ;)
