I did a quick search, and didnt see that anyone really suggested something like this yet...
Has anyone thought of creating a news aggregation 'bot' for Snitz Forums? It would go out to entered RSS feeds, download content, and post each new entry into the forum. Vbullitin already has something like this - called the RSS News Feed Hack. (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=63798)< |

I have indeed - more than a few times - and I couldnt find anything like this. There was a 'newsletter' MOD, but that's completely different from what Im talking about here.
Am I missing something there?< |

| Don`t know exactly how it works, but maybe the RSS 2.0 Feed MOD by MarcelG could be extended to do what you want< |

Negative ghostrider - thats for publishing a form into RSS form. What I'm looking to do does more or less the exact opposite. (takes an RSS feed and publishes it to the forum)< |

I've seen some JavaScript code floating around for something like that, but I've never actually tried to do it. I've also found some ActionScript for parsing XML files in Flash - something that could be put to use in making a Flash-based RSS reader.
Unfortunately I haven't had time to do anything with them yet, nor have I seen anybody else. Maybe some searches along these lines could help?< |

Is that what Feedburner does?
Or do you mean the RSS feeds of many forums?< |

| No I don't think it is Marcel, he wants the individual items in the feeds to be created as topics in the forum< |

Ah...ok. Now I understand.
Sounds a bit dangerous to me ; auto-importing content from an external source into the db.
I think my code cán be modified to do just that ; it already has the items, so with a INSERT statement one could achieve a lot.
Too dangerous for me though, so I won't be testing it!  < |

Well, even though the chance that the risk will become reality is little, I'd like to keep it safe. Just as with safe sex, you can never be too carefull  < |
