Blog RSS Auto Importer Mod Support (Modzzz)

This is the support forum for the Blog RSS Auto Importer mod.

Patch 2.0.1 Released. (See patches/version_2.0.1 folder in zip file)

Added the ability to restrict access to adding blog feed based on membership level.

Source link with anchor?

 This does not exist presently. It will be added in the next release.

Please, as soon as you can!

I can not use the module until then because nobody wants to give me content without  backlink with anchor to each article.

The mod is updated so members can choose to include source link when importing from feeds. Re-upload the files for the module.

You can do that: instead of "here" to show the article title?

It is useful for bloggers

I will add an option in the next update so administrator can choose to show the full link or only "here".

Can members set up their own feeds? Will it import the full Blog with text, pictures, links, background color, borders and fonts? If not, is their a possibility to add this features?

Yes, members will setup their own feeds. The mod will import everything that is made available in the RSS feed.

The mod is updated to fix an issue where a warning was thrown when adding a feed. Re-upload all files and clear cache.

For me it does not seem to be importing.  I set up a test Wordpress site.  I created two posts on the wordpress.com blog.  I got the wordpress rss link, for wordpress that is http://site.com/feed.  I entered that in the URL, and made it active but it is not importing the feed.  Is there an issue with wordpress.com feeds?  The cron job for the site is working because it will process video and sounds.

Did you give it enough time ? The importing can be set to hourly or daily. By default it is configured for daily.

Yes, if you look you can see this was posted four days ago.  Still no import.  I will check the cron job again but I ran the cron.php file manually, so that should have hit your cron job set up in the database and imported the post.

I have sent you a PM.

I have yet to place this on my site because it inserts the blog post using the current timestamp and not the timestamp of the post it is importing; or at least that was what it seemed to me.  I was going to go into the code to look at the timestamp part but have been so busy.  If you have time, can you look at the timestamp thing?

Have  you had a chance to look at this or should I give it a go on my own?

Patch 2.0.3 Released. (See patches/version_2.0.3 folder in zip file)

Added the option (when inserting imported feed items) to use present timestamp or timestamp of the post being imported.

Thanks Modzzz, very much appreciated.

This is now compatible with Dolphin 7.2 . For those upgrading from Dolphin 7.1, re-upload the module files.

Blog RSS Auto Importer is now compatible with Dolphin 7.2 . For those upgrading from Dolphin 7.1, please check the upgrade folder for instructions.

How do you get the full blog post to import?  Right now I'm only getting snippets... please help!

The mod imports whatever is available in the feed. Therefore, if the feed only has snippets, that is what is imported.

Right now it´s not working for me, sorry

Added severals RSS-Feeds but nothing happened until now. Set cron on 1 hour and waited waited waited ;-) 

Dolphin 7.3.5 was shown as compatible

OKAY, now it is working after a clean installation.....don´t know why, but it is
