Article Bot for [vB 3.5.0] but working fine whit [vb 3.8.1]


Article Bot is a script that allows you to assign a user account (preferably an exclusive one) to an article bot that will post RSS feeds in select forums at designated intervals. These articles are derived from RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds.

RSS files are assigned to article bots, as well to individual forums, which in turn directs what, when and where your article bot will post.

Features

* Works with RSS versions: 0.9x, 2.0, 1.0, and Atom 0.3
* AdminCP interface for adding/modifying/deleting article bots & rss feeds
* Designate intervals (in minutes) to each RSS feed for when your article bot will post them.
* Requires only 1 file edit (admincp/index.php), allowing ease of upgrading your vBulletin
without having to remodify files.
* Easy to install. Works best in conjunction with crontab (contab help is inside install.html)


News

* 7/25/04 - Version 1.1 Released
o Bug Fixes
+ Replaced htmlspecialchars() with htmlentities() in articlebot.php to fully convert special entities from descriptions.
+ Added trim() to thread titles, to prevent double threads from being posted that are merely off by whitespace.
+ New table articlebot_rss_cache for storing a copy of article bot threads, for quicker checking of doubles when posting new threads.
+ Threads are checked in articlebot_rss_cache, so you can permanently remove them from the thread table (you don't have to "soft delete") without worrying about the bot replicating them.
+ Other minor bugs.
o Features
+ New installer/upgraders for doing the SQL part automatically.
+ Added "label" field to add/modify RSS interface, that allows you to tag a label, e.g. [yahoo], to the beginning of threads, unique to each RSS feed. This might help for better distinction of RSS feeds.
+ Added an option to toggle on/off of building similar threads per RSS feed. Some RSS feeds could hault the script if the building of similar thread results for that feed takes too long (maybe the article thread title is too vague, and matches a lot of results--my guess is it's only a problem on large forums).
+ Added an option to toggle on/off skipping of articles that don't contain descriptions.
+ Regular expression search and replace for article titles and descriptions. This grants you much flexability to filter out things you don't want in your titles or descriptions (given you have some regex experience, I will try to post some patterns in due time.. feel free to add yours )
* 7/11/04 - Version 1.0 Released


Upgrading

* To upgrade, reupload the new PHP and MagpieRSS parser files to their places on your server. Upload upgrade_vx-x (replace the x's with the version you are upgrading to) to /path/to/forums/admincp/, and then execute that script.

Тиджик, спасибо тебе за старания, конечно
Но знаешь... я вот нафик утонула в этой куче нирусских букафф...
Можно перевод?

Luvilla, гугл всеговорящий )))

Статья бот скрипт, который позволяет назначить учетной записи пользователя (желательно эксклюзивных) в статье бота, который будет размещать RSS-каналы в некоторых форумах в установленных интервалов. Эти статьи являются производными от RSS (Really Simple Syndication) каналы.

RSS файлы относятся к статье ботов, а также для отдельных форумов, которые в свою очередь направляет что, когда и где ваши статьи бот будет сообщение.

Я сам не ставил сей РСС.

не рассказывай мне про гугл-переводчика, ладно? я пару лет подряд плотно занималась переводом субтитров к научно-фантастическому сериалу, так что я в состоянии это прочесть без авто-пиривода.
Но этот форум рассчитан на широкие круги пользователей? Причем явно нЕ-англоязычных
