No, I can't read minds. I have no idea what you are talking about. You need to provide details.

is there any way to make it import in less than six hours?

How does NixCron work? Do I need to be logged in for it to work? What is the trigger?

I'd prefer to use cron but can't seem to get:
/usr/local/bin/php rss_import/import.php

to work

I get the ../smarty.class.php can't be found error.

Help with either is appreciated.

If you want to make a php file to put in your pligg root folder and trigger it when needed you can use the following:

<?php

if (strpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], 'rss_import') > 1){
    die('nixcron rssimport error.');
}

include_once('Smarty.class.php');
$main_smarty = new Smarty;

        include_once('config.php');        
        include_once(mnminclude.'html1.php');
        include_once(mnminclude.'link.php');
        include_once(mnminclude.'tags.php');
        include_once(mnminclude.'smartyvariables.php');
        
    include_once('modules/rss_import/rss_import_settings.php');
    include_once('modules/rss_import/rss_import_main.php');
    
    rss_import_do_import(false);

?>

Thanks for that php script. I have been trying for weeks now to get my cron working, but it wouldnt. I instaled nixcron and then set up a cron for the script above and it works like a charm now. Thanks

I am probably doing something stupid but I get this error when I install and activate the nixcron module.

 RSS Importer

You have not setup any feeds yet!
Go back and add a feed.

I am not making use of any RSS imports for my pligg site - would this be the problem?

What does it mean, I haven't setup feeds. I have RSS feeds for every single category and this is done automatically by pligg.

Can nixcron load all rssfeeds every hour? than when i sleep i have to load every hour rss feeds. Can nixcron take this job and load the feeds every hour? So yes i buy it.

When not i will not buy it than i can login and go to admin rssimport and load all the feeds i want and that every minuut i will. So why must i than buy nixcron?

So dear coder an answer please.
