Major Additions - [v1.6] Inferno RSS Forum Feeds Technology

This hack was made purely by request, and the fact IPB will have a similar system as default functionality, i wouldn't like them to have a upper hand to vbulletin ;)

v1.5 Updates:
- Auto detect RSS settings system
- Forum stats rebuilt correctly (last post info)

v1.6 Updates:
- Various bug fixes

Description:
This once added to your forum allows you to connect to any RSS feed you desire, once set up the system will automatically post data from the RSS feed into threads within a specified forum.

Previews are available at the bottom, and an FAQ is built into the admin controls since I know not everyone will understand how to set up the options. Also an example to use a BBC UK News rss feed is below

Example BBC UK News Feed:
Feed Name: BBC UK News
Feed Location: http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonl...t_page/rss.xml
Feed Prefix: [BBC UK News]
Feed From User: Assign users username of your own choice
Feed Forum: Choose a forum you want threads to be posted into
Feed Read Direction: Newest First
Parent RSS Tag Name: channel
Items RSS Tag Name: item
Thread Title RSS Tag Name: title
Thread Post RSS Construct:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Note: After adding a new feed i suggest clicking update for that feed, this will manually update that singular feed specified, the cron job included will automatically update all feeds, best not to have it update them all from the start otherwise it could execute a lot of queries. Further more I highly recommend you do not have lots of feeds unless your server can with-stand it.

Enjoy

Hey - I have it instaled on my forums but it seems to wait till the feeds have at least 4/5 new feeds to add then it will add them all at the same time (and for some reason re-posts the older feeds too) :S

Any help with this? Thanks

hi, i like this hack.. only thing is i keep getting an error:S

An Error Has Occured
System Response
While attempting to parse the document located at "http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml" the system encountered the following error:
Invalid URL To RSS Feed Given

Please check settings related to this issue.

I tryed to add the sample(exactly) and stil gave me this error, even when i try to detect the rss feed settings :S
Can anyone help me with this problem (can it be the wrong php settings,that something is blocked?) ?
Thanks in advance
