Not currently that would require some work.

Thanks Hacks!

Hello

I have a big problem using this mod, it's duplicate feed instead of update (this happened when i use fake cron). I have no duplicate url

Thanks

[Caveman]

I have a question related to the RSS Feed Poster, (Excellent hack BTW!) Is there a way to control the amount of the feed it is posting or I should say gathering from the rss feed, and post a tid bit of it then say READ MORE..... then the user can click on the link to read the rest of the article?

I tried looking thru the code and see if there was some numbers I could change, but I am not good at programming, I try to leave it to the people who know all that.
Reason I am asking, when I pull info from newspaper feeds, I have the answer in case they argue about it, of saying the fair use of the item, and they have to click on the link to read the link and read it all. (Then they have to see the advertising that is on their site... But can discuss it in my forum)

Thanks!

What you could do is submit that particular feed to feedburner, then attempt to customize it over there.

Never used it before, but I will check it out and see. It seems almost redundant, since you have to move the feeds twice. Once to feedburner then again to your site, but it would hide where their info is going to though.

my forum\\\'s charset is iso-8859-9 and when i try to add RSS with charset UTF-8, some characters are not showed like ş,ü,ğ,ı . what can i do. what is you offer me to solve it?


regards

I have the same problem.
When my source has non english characters like above (Turkish Language) it turns out as following:
"Shake it up şekerim" adlı şarkısı
should be
"Shake it up, şekerim" adlı şarkısı

Is there anyway I can fix this?
I checked htmlspecialchars

Code:

// Create the Post
$msg_title = htmlspecialchars(($feed['html'] ? $context['feeditems'][$i]['title'] : strip_tags($context['feeditems'][$i]['title'])), ENT_QUOTES);

$msg_body =  htmlspecialchars(($feed['html'] ? $context['feeditems'][$i]['description'] . "\n\n" . $context['feeditems'][$i]['link']  : strip_tags($context['feeditems'][$i]['description'] .  "\n\n" . $context['feeditems'][$i]['link'])), ENT_QUOTES);

But do I remove the whole two commands both Title and Body, or just modify this?

Thanks for the help.

In addition to above, feeds come in duplicates, if there are no new feeds. If it is set at 6 hours, it grabs the same feeds, if there are no new feeds.

hello hello HELLO!!!

right.. I installed this mod. and used the link "http://feeds.feedburner.com/MotoringfileClippings" that you posted earlier to test it.. Woohoo Works a treat!

However... the feed I need doesn't.  I have a suspission that the reader cannot interpate DTD's in feeds, as my posts are comming out blank, with the following code.

Code:

[b][/b]

Here is the feed I need posting -> http://demi-gods.co.uk/index2.php?option=com_fireboard&func=fb_rss&no_html=1

Any thoughts?

[lord_lethris]

Mmmm "SMFHacks" hasn't replied to this since April 6th.....

Is there anyone on this project? 

[athenal]

I'm having the same porblem with html,   Just curious if we could have an update on this?  being worked on at all?

[SMFHacks]

Html would need to find a good filter for PHP.

Hi Hacks,

I have found a fantastic feed but it gets all messed up when it's posted to my forum: -

http://feeds.feedburner.com/bbcnewsfrontpagefullfeed

Would you be able to try it on your testing site and see if you can get it to format correctly?

Cheers!

Wilsy.

[RWL]

Can anybody have a go at this, we all know how busy Hacks is at the moment - I can't understand why it won't work, HTML is enabled in the settings?

Regards,

Wilsy.

No Takers? The link below is to a full text rss from the BBC - they're like gold dust, check it out?

http://feeds.feedburner.com/bbcnewssciencenaturefullfeed

Try using this http://feeds.feedburner.com/bbcnewsfrontpagefullfeed?format=xml instead, the url you posted is to the page about the feed, not the feed itself.
