[Pligg 8.2.0] Submit a feed automatically : The recap

[dwg]

Using Magpierss, here is something quick and dirty that seems to work for me. Not sure how to get the tags inserted, but the rest should work. Just set it up as a cron.

<?
require('../magpierss/rss_fetch.inc');

include('config.php');
require(mnminclude.'link.php');

$rss_feeds=array (
        array(
                'url'=>"http://digg.com/rss/index.xml",
                'category'=>7,
                'author'=>16,
//              'tags'=>'
        ),
);


echo "<ul>\n";
foreach ($rss_feeds as $feed ) {
$rss = fetch_rss($feed['url']);
echo "<li>Site: ", $rss->channel['title'], "<br>\n";
foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
        $item['author']=$feed['author'];
        $item['category']=$feed['category'];
 
        $title = $item[title];
        $desc= $item[description];

        echo "<ul>";
        echo "<li>Processing <a href=$url>$title</a></li>\n";
        rss_store($item);
        echo "<li>Finished Processing <a href=$url>$title</a></li><br><br/>\n\n";
        echo "</ul>";

}

echo "</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";


function rss_store($item) {

        $linkres=new Link;

        $edit = false;
        $linkres->get(trim($item['link']));

        if(!$linkres->valid) {
                rss_error($item['link']);
                return;
        }

        if($linkres->duplicates($item['link']) > 0) {
                rss_error($item['url']);
                return;
        }
        $linkres->status='discard';
        $linkres->author=$item['author'];

        $linkres->title=$item['title'];
        $linkres->content=$item['description'];


        $linkres->id=0;
        $linkres->category=$item['category'];
        $linkres->randkey=rand(10000,10000000);
        $linkres->read();
        $linkres->status='queued';
        $linkres->store();
        return;
}

function rss_error($url){
        echo "Skipped $url <br/>\n";
}


?>

So I can just name this script whatever I want, change the rss feed source, and run it as a cron?

[dwg]

Yep...although you should have your cron have something like ' >/dev/null 2>&1' at the end so it doesn't capture any of the output. You can add as many rss feed sources as you want, just add an additional array to $rss_feeds.

nice job dwg
but i want to ask how to set a cron job in Magpie?

[user008]

Xanatos.. Cron is normally available on all Unix and Linux distributions. Here is a nice tutorial about running PHP scripts with Cron

DWG, with your method, what shows up as the poster?

[dwg]

The poster is whoever's author id you set in the settings for the RSS feed:

$rss_feeds=array (
array(
'url'=>"http://digg.com/rss/index.xml",
'category'=>7,
'author'=>16,
// 'tags'=>'
),
);

So, for the above, whichever user has the id=16 is considered the author.

dwg,

Your mod is working great for some feeds and not others. For example:

Works:
http://rss.teamxbox.com/news/xbox-360.rss

Does not work:
http://scripts.gamespy.com/rss/gamespy.PC.2.0.xml

I don't get any error messages on the non working feed. Just a blank page when I send the feed through your mod.

Any ideas?
