Can items listed in classifieds create a forum post?
 

Hi I was wondering if it is at all possible for the classifieds to create a post in the forum (vBulletin) when an item is listed?

Would be a great way for those who don't check the classifieds directly to see items as they are listed.

Thankyou :)

Yes,

Using the RSS Feed Manager in vBuletin you can get it to create a new post in any forum when someone posts an ad.

The URL of the feed is: Have it check the feed every 30 minutes (or so).

Choose the forum you want it to post to.

Title template: Body template:

You may wish to use other options as well. It works like a charm.

vBulletin has that functionality built in as noted. We have external RSS Feeds so vb can read those.

Thankyou for your help!

Have a good evening

This question was for my forum, I just need some help setting it up... I think I am doing something wrong.

URL: http://www.xxxxx.com.au/forums/class....php?type=rss2

Also copied exactly the text you wrote... could there be another setting stopping it? Error is:

RSS Poster Robot

Classifieds Unable to open URL or no data returned

Help!

Chuck Im also getting this error.... Still

Ive tried both links.

And

And I still see the error

SNC Marketplace Unable to open URL or no data returned

The title is set as

And body as

Any help would be great. :)

I believe your title should be this instead:

and your body:

Have you actually visited the vb support site and looked for that error there?

any issues your reporting are from the vb code

Reeftalk.com

I see no issues with the actual classifieds rss script appears quite valid.

Im running many other RSS feeds and all those work fine. Its just the one from our Classifieds & Gallery that are not working.

I read here that it may be a usergroup issue but guests can see the feed.

I also tested your feed posted above. That worked minus the photo. All it had was a link to (more....)

RSS Feeds

I use the rss feeds in the forum without fail

The point I am making here is any errors your posting are the vb code.

Our rss script itself clearly is running fine and is valid rss as you can see and test.

Thanks anyways..
