| Import an RSS feed into the classifieds?
So I am trying to create an RSS feed in the vb admin which will grab the feed and post the data as individual ads on the classifieds. However, the vb admin does not list the classifieds as a "forum" in which I can do so.
Is there a way to setup an RSS feed which can populate the classifieds? How would I do that?

I don't see how that will work...
What I am trying to do, for example, is get an RSS feed from craiglist.com and then post the ad into the PP classifieds as a new ad.
Can that be done?

No you cant do that
To upload an ad into the classifieds you need to use the upload portion of our program.

You would have to find a coder to achieve something like that although not sure how your going to grab data from some other site.

Can that be done? | You want to blatantly plagiarize Craigslist? Some interesting terms for that. Wouldn't the PP Classifieds RSS feed violate item E? Quote:
craigslist offers various parts of the Service in RSS format so that users
can embed individual feeds into a personal website or blog, or view postings
through third party software news aggregators. craigslist permits you to
display, excerpt from, and link to the RSS feeds on your personal website
or personal web blog, provided that (a) your use of the RSS feed is for
personal, non-commercial purposes only, (b) each title is correctly linked
back to the original post on the Service and redirects the user to the
post when the user clicks on it, (c) you provide, adjacent to the RSS
feed, proper attribution to 'craigslist' as the source, (d) your use or
display does not suggest that craigslist promotes or endorses any third
party causes, ideas, web sites, products or services, (e) you do not
redistribute the RSS feed,

Yeah that appears what he wants to do is strip off another sites content.
