This is now in the trunk – https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/log/phpbb-recent-topics/

I plan to do some further code clean up prior to the next release, please test.

Hi All,

FYI I have this thread bookmarked an will incorporate the suggestions in the next version ??

If you could checkout the source from the trunk and post a link to a .diff / patch file that would really help me.

Thanks,
Nick

The date comes from what the forum saves in mysql…

line 115 – https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/phpbb-recent-topics/trunk/display/display.php

I’m not sure how your forum time is ‘right’ unless you have some mod or timezone setting that is upsetting things?

Is the time on the host/server correct?

Cheers,
Nick

Hello,
I’ve just released version 0.2 which should resolve this issue.

Hi kjottbein,

phpBB Error – phpbb_topics means that the plugin cannot query the phpbb_topics table.

If you are using “insecure mode”, check that you have copy/pasted the username & password from your phpbb config file correctly, then check that the table & db names are correct.

If you can’t find anything wrong, pls paste the error message from your apache (httpd) error_log

Cheers,
Nick

yep kjottbein, that would work ??

Hi Nick (nm2net)

I’ve just pushed a new change to the trunk for you to try … overwrite your run.php with the latest version.

I’m looking to push this change out as version 0.1.4 but I’d like someone to test it 1st.

The story for me is that I had my digg feed and google feed streaming just fine, but as soon as I added my WP Trac Feed all posts doubled/tripled/etc… I noticed a load of white space in the Trac Feed so I’ve cleaned it out and am testing this version of run.php on linickx.com.

Hope it works!
Nick

Hello Again,

I’ve been pondering over your logic, and don’t think what you’ve found is the issue.

time() is a continuously growing number (in seconds) – so …

now for me is 1257872836
1 day is 24*60*60 = 43200

Therefore yesterday = 1257872836 – 43200 = 1257829636

if($savedItems[$key]['date'] < $expireDate

… checks if the time-stamp is less than the time-stamp 20days (or whatever) ago, thus it is older than we need to store.

Please note that earlier up in run.php (line 108) we have…

// if item is too old dont even look at it
 if($item->get_date('U') < $expireDate)
 continue;

So if the time-stamp is older than 20days we don’t create the post.

… I’m still pondering over your other suggestion ??

Hi Nick,

Yep you’re right I’m having an issue with multi-posts on my site too but I’m finding that it doesn’t happen for all feeds… perhaps that was a red herring.

I will continue testing and let you know ??
Cheers,
Nick

Hi There,
If you visit /wp-content/plugins/linickx-lifestream/run.php you should get a blank page (for sucess) or an error message, the fact you can see your blog is weird!

Try commenting out $WPDIR, e.g
$WPDIR = "/";
becomes
#$WPDIR = "/";

… the DB file is created in WP-Content, if it doesn’t exist either the script isn’t running properly or the directory isn’t writeable ??

(Note: if you use WP Automatic updates
(a) you don’t need to change WPDIR
(b) then run.php should error with “not configured as cron”
)

Cheers,
Nick

But with suggested code changes, errors are history ??

That’s good news Rinfo, I have pushed this out as 0.5.3 then, please can you mark this as resolved.

Thanks,
Nick

… or try the development version, as I’ve just pushed a change to hide this error ??

Are you upgrading? …If so… have you updated your GRANT permissions?

LOL Getting cross database connectivity is indeed a devil!

I have long since known that getting GRANT access between two DB’s has been the users biggest hurdle, I have just released ver 0.5 which offers a simpler connectivity method but I’d recommend all users go though your pain to ensure the best security ??

Thanks for posting this!
