PunBB Forums → PunBB 1.3 extensions → [request] Rss feed creates new topics automatically
I've seen this done on other forum software but I'm loyal to punbb. So does anyone know if it is possible to register an RSS feed from the BBC (for example) and have a new topic be automatically created for each new news story?
Many thanks in advance for any comments
1.- What is BBC?
2.- You mean category-based RSS feeds? Ex. News, 1.3 Core Talk, etc. If so, they are already available.
By BBC, i think he means British Broadcat Company's website.
Oh, I get it now. You want the server to get an RSS feed and import it to PunBB as a topic? I think this can be done... I'll be back from my trip next monday and I can probably work on this.
yes that's it
thanks for looking into this for me Garciat
enjoy your hols!!
Thanks
Try the feed aggregator - http://www.punres.org/desc.php?pid=373
esupergood, are you using PunBB 1.2 or 1.3? If you're using 1.2, you should use that feed aggregator hcgtv posted.

Carciat: maybe it is easier just simply port this mod to 1.3 as an extension.
Thanks for the tips so far.
I'm using 1.3 and have my fingers crossed for an extension

Good idea.
Edit: I just noticed underline is working as italics, and quick quote is including the user's signature into the quote.
British Broadcat Company's
British Broadcasting Corporation.
just seen this topic now. kind of relates to my one just posted...
any news on porting it?

This quick quote is working completely wrong. It should be marked as beta. I disabled it on my test forum. If there will be no fix, then I will do my own 
There is a fix (made by me): http://snipplr.com/view/10983/punquote- … js--fixed/

You don't port it. You merely include it in whatever code you use for the display to access its functions.
thx friend.
Garciat,
Thanks for fixing the "signature bug" (just used your script with the version of pun_quote from punbb repository, and it worked).
However, if the forum interface Language is not English and you try to "Quick quote" a post that starts with a quote, then the pasted quote code is incorrect.
Another not fixed bug: if javascript is disabled (as some users do for security reasons), then quoting does not work at all.
Care to fix these too?
BTW, I tried to "quick quote" your message (the No15 one on this page) -- it's a mess... (I know it's not your fault...)

That's not a fault or bug. Quick quote is javascript based. Have you guessed where I'm leading yet?
The fact that it is based on javascript does not mean that it can't be fixed.

He mean, that then you can't quote at all. There should be standard href redirection and some onclick event canceling href redirection (and then doing standard JS code). I was doing something like that before. Will try to fix it in few days. Now I don't have a time.
there is no plugins folder for feed_aggregator from punres.org site.
Has anyone found an extension for punBB 1.3 to import RSS feeds as posts?
I think it would need the ability to choose which forum and whether or not to post as individual threads or one long thread.
has anyone managed to create this.
