[ABD] Smixmods Feed News Center v0.4.0

[Smix]

Hello,
I'd love to get some feedback about the updating from 0.3.x to 0.4.0 with 0.4.0c package, anybody? It' s possibly not working as expected ...
Workaround still works, remove the phpbb_smixmods_feed_news_center table from database and also please drop all rows related to sfnc from phpbb_config table - It's those : sfnc_download_function, sfnc_cron_init, sfnc_cron_posting, sfnc_index_init, sfnc_index_posting, sfnc_version ... It will make a fresh install ... but in this moment, I'd love to get the update working

Omg.. This is getting worse..

Maybe not a good idea to install a MOD on live board that is in DEV status yet. If it's giving you that much trouble, try waiting till it's in RC or Beta..

His problems are not related to mod itself - adding modules into ACP will always be manual in beta or RC versions and possibly in the final versions (don't quote me in the future ). I'm not using UMIL (or any other modules or software), because I don't want users to require additional phpBB modules for installing this mod and installation of this mod is made as easy as possible and adding modules (basic phpBB task) will possibly always be a manual action.
Anyway, yes, it's not recommended to be installed on a live board.

You could use .MODs as a parent, no need to create a whole new tab, especially if you're planning to install future mods that do need a whole new tab...but I'm glad you got it :]

[camaro92]

Done!

Ok. So I want to see if this works.. What do I do here to activate it? I don't want to use a CRON but allow the software to do it.

Index init:
If enabled, index.php will init downloading of ONE feed
Disabled Enabled

Index posting:
If enabled, after initiation on index.php, content will be posted to forum
Disabled Enabled

Cron init:
Enable, if you´ll use a CRON job for updating the feeds (update_feeds.php in phpBB ROOT directory). If enabled, index.php will never init downloading or posting of feed and ALL feeds will be updated.
Disabled Enabled

Cron posting:
If enabled, after initiation on cron.php, content will be posted to forum
Disabled Enabled

Download function:
Which function is used to download the feed? (simplexml recommended)

Thanks

I also am trying to set it to 15 mins but seems won't save.. Has to be 1hr? I have to wait 1 hour to see it post?

How is your php setting from the server?

Code: Select all

allow_url_fopen = ?
allow_url_include = ?

[camaro92]

Where do I look?

[wintstar]

ACP --> System --> GENERAL TASKS --> PHP Information

Look at "Core"

[camaro92]

Great thanks!

Ok to answer the question

allow_url_fopen = YES
allow_url_include = NO

[wintstar]

Look at the picture



If that is set with you, it should work.

[camaro92]

Excellent! Done.. Do I still need to wait an hour and then on the next hour for it to post? How do I activate it without CRON? Thanks

[camaro92]

Nevermind WORKS!!!! 5 posts already NICE!!

[camaro92]

Sent a small donation. Not much but am sure anything is appreciated
I was wondering if there is a changelog? I am curious what was changed from the one I have installed 0.4.0b to the new one I just noticed 0.4.0c

How much is involved to upgrade? Thanks

[wintstar]

I have not yet upgraded to 0.4.0c. As for me, the version 0.4.0b works.

[camaro92]

Was hoping I could copy/paste the entire template

[sfnc_item_title], [sfnc_feed_name], [sfnc_item_link], [sfnc_item_description], [sfnc_item_image], [sfnc_feed_language], [sfnc_feed_copyright], [sfnc_feed_generator], [sfnc_feed_pages], [sfnc_item_guid], [sfnc_item_comments], [sfnc_item_category], [sfnc_item_pubDate], [sfnc_item_comments-url], [sfnc_item_rss-url], [sfnc_item_postid], [sfnc_item_thumbnail]

And see what posts and then determine what i want as I really don't know what these all do. But unfornatly you can't post it

Only

[sfnc_item_title], [sfnc_feed_name], [sfnc_item_link], [sfnc_item_description], [sfnc_item_image], [sfnc_feed_language], [sfnc_feed_copyright], [sfnc_feed_generator], [sfnc_feed_pages], [sfnc_item_guid], [sfnc_item_comments], [sfnc_item_category]

Otherwise you get an error
