Personally I'm not a fan of so called SEO extensions, bu you can probably fix this yourself quite easily by opening up your database manager (phpMyAdmin or MySQL workbench), look up the phpbb_topics table and set a default value for this columns.

I may try that. I'll just leave it disabled for now.

On another note, I did discover why/how I saw the FPB username logged in - when manually fetching feeds it redirects to the board index. It doesn't stay in the ACP like it did before.

Yeah, that was a quicky from me.

It boiled down to the difference between the old (3.1 style) language system and the new language class in phpBB 3.2. The old one made it very difficult to switch between languages. Previously I had no other choice than to keep switching and reloading the entire user, something that can result in very long loading times with many feeds. It led to behaviour as described by you.

I've decided to up the requirement to 3.2.1 and drop the support for 3.1.x, making things much easier for me. New version in Git.

You might want to know that the translation file has been changed due to a suggestion by the validation team. All language keys have been prefixed with "FPB_" to avoid collisions.
Sorry, I have just seen the new version. Enclosed the new german translation for 1.0.4.

If you make changes in the language file again, please send me a PN, so I'll be notified. I'm rather rare at the English phpBB Board.

Just checking if 1.0.4 is the latest release. dated 2017-11-08

Thanks. Working very well thus far.

Question:
Is it possible to add a function to get full-content when content is truncated by the feed sites? I know there are sites that will do this through their software, just wondering if it's something you plan to add.
Thank you.

It seems hard, though possible to me, but I don't plan to add it. It would mean I'd have to account for exponentially more possibilities with an equal amount of exceptions.

If you're interested though you can create an extension on top of feedpostbot and hook into the first 3 events as described in the second post.

@Mesto: thank you

Hi

I like this ext very much, but ... (and this is maybe a very stupid question :? ) ...

Is it possible, that post made by this ext not show up at "New Posts" and don't increase the Counter for "Total Posts" ?

There no setting for such in the phpBB submit_post function.

Well, first check is mostly the W3 Feed validation service. And when I put that URL in, I get this respose:
It looks like this is a web page, not a feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn't find one. Please enter the address of your feed to validate.
So that doesn't leave much hope... While Firefox seems to understand it as a feed, when I inspect the source it's very poorly formatted. The feed post bot can't cope with it either since I follow the W3 standards.

Thanks for looking into this, Ger.

I might have found a solution to it, by using a web service that generates a valid RSS-feed from another feed (in this case, the broken one), and entering the rebuilt feed into Feed Post Bot. It pulled the entries from the RSS and generated posts from it when catching manually, so now I just have to wait and see how often the new RSS generates entries from the broken one.
