RSS Auto Import Not Possible in Pligg ?

i want rss automatic import without cron.

There is no way a file can automatically run itself - unless you explicitly call it or call via cron job.

If you donot want/ donot have a cron setup at your server - use a site that offers free cron job scheduling for you (a simple google search will get you many) or better switch to a host who offers cron - that is lot better

I use this web WebBasedCron.com
it´s easy and works fine, there you can set up up to 5 cron jobs.

I think this too imports only when you click on update - there seems no auto update AFAIK. Read Gregarius - A Free, Web-based Feed Aggregator - there is no word of auto import in it. If you have it open in your browser it only does refresh via AJAX - there is nothing Auto - again you will have to call that file in first place.

If you can open up a window permanently on your browser - simplest is to use refresh scripts to refresh the import page - absolutely no server coding and no cron job needed. Or Add a simple javascript to refresh page at regular intervals or write an AJAX to ping the RSS importer at set periods.

Again - there is no such thing as AUTO IMPORT - all scripts that I knew work only when a user or cron calls/initiate an action...

Would any of you know why I get the following error when I try manually importing?

Feed not fully setup, skipping

I tried various feed links from different web sites and got the same error.

If you follow the tutorial, it should look something like this..
Notice the bottom, in red. You need to set it up like that for the feeds to import.

Set these up by clicking "add a new field link"
You'll really only need the first 3

if ur problem solve from my post, don't forget to click on Thanks Button

Hi there,

I'm running version 9.9.0. The talk here seems be about how to run the RSS feed imports without a cron job. My question is, how do I run it which a cron job? I can't figure out which file I should be running. I tried the following cron:

/usr/bin/php /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/module.php?module=rss_import_do_import

since that's the file that is run when importing manually...

but it gave me the error:

Status: 404

Content-type: text/html

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.9

No input file specified.

How do I specify the input file? Am I running the wrong script?

Thanks,
Steve
