Hey @vbgamer45 it seems after install on a vanilla forum it looks to godo feedsadmin and then just seems to leave you on the admin panel homepage?

Doesn't seem to have added the interfact on my install. It didn't complain about any tests failing either.

On Elk 1.0.x?
It should add a menu in the admin area under Configuration called RSS Feed Poster Configuration

Yeah 1.0.x

Had a little more time to debug. Package info.xml is missing an instruction to copy over feedposter.integrate.php to sources. It's in the package but not in the xml.

@vbgamer45
1st of all: many thanks for this addon, I use it several years on two SMF forums and now in ElkArte.

Alas the same error is also in this version: the rss-items are not counted for the posting member. After digging through the module source I found out: the "board"-info count field is 0 when postings are counted and 1 if this option is deactivated.

Changing that was a snap but should be done from the beginning  ;)

And a suggestion: Please make the downloadcount limits configurable (best on a per feed basis) for the user instead of the hardcoded limit ( > 50 = 25)

TIA

If you do a recount from the maintenance section, it fixes this I believe in the meantime?

Re: RSS Feed Poster

Not really. The feedposter file interprets the value for count postings as 1 for count posting whereas in the database is a zero for count posting. A small modification in feedposter.php corrects this "bad behaviour". If you have some RSS feeds the continuous use of recount is really annoing.

BTW: I did the source modification in my forum but with any update of RSS-Poster I have to do it again :(

Here we go:

Code: ("RSS.subs line 382") [Select]
								if ($feed['count_posts'] == 1) // mgr
									$updatePostCount = 0;
[1]   :D

Code: ("RSS.subs line 863") [Select]
								if ($feed['count_posts'] == 1)   // mgr
									$updatePostCount = 0;
    :D
1 Just a small suggestion for ElkArte↵

I'm not sure what I would change, but then I'm not sure I understand why the problem is occurring. 

Setting the $posterOptions array key 'update_post_count'  to a non empty value should increase that posters post count when they make the post (unless its on a board that does not count posts).    So I don't know why changing it to 0 seems to work?

(PS I tweaked the format of your post so it rendered properly, footnotes inside of a code block do not render)
Be safe, Be kind, Happy Programing
