| Current Release: |
1.1 |
| Release Notes: |
- v1.1 Fixed bug that ignored per feed maximum |
| Terms: |
This program is released under the GPL
(http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html).
It comes 'as is' with no guarantees. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
All that I ask is that you give me credit when using all or parts of my code in other projects. |
| Description: |
This program will import items from various RSS feeds
containing specified keywords into WordPress entries
at a specified time interval automatically when included
at the top of your wordpress 'index.php' as detailed
below in the installation instructions. |
| Summary: |
In short, set it up once and it will keep your WordPress
site updated with fresh content. |
| Notes: |
Most of the RSS parsing code is based on the original
WordPress RSS import code. Those WordPress guys/girls
have written a great application (http://wordpress.org) |
| Troubleshooting: |
Make sure that /wp-ari/ari-timestamp.php is chmod 777.
If it's not, you'll see a 'timestamp is not writable'
error in your summary email.
If, on the off chance, you encounter
an RSS feed that doesn't import correctly, send me the url through my
support form. I make no guarantees, but I am
working to make the parser as robust as possible. Note: Please
don't use this form to ask for installation or troubleshooting help. |

INSTALLATION
This is very easy, so don't overcomplicate it.
Note that this script does require WordPress 2.0 or higher.
| 1. | Extract the zip or tar.gz archive to a local folder |
| 2. | Edit /wp-ari/ari-config.php -- Each variable is
explained extensively in this file, it is pretty
straight-forward. This is where you specify your
database login info., rss feeds, etc. |
| 3. | Upload the /wp-ari directory to your WordPress
folder on your server. It's the folder that has
your /wp-admin, and /wp-content directories in it. |
4. | Now just edit your WordPress 'index.php' file as follows:
/* Auto RSS Importer */
include('wp-ari/index.php');
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
