I am a little confused on what the “Custom Settings” is for. Maybe I am just confused with what I read….completely possible.

I would also like to know if there is a way to “add-on” some text to the end of the description or each post and something different for each feed?

Basically I would like to have the title link to my page, but a link at the end of the description (or somewhere in the post) to the original site.

Thanks!

// DUPLICATE CHECK 
$dup_query = "SELECT ID FROM ".$wpdb->posts." WHERE post_title = '".$this->post['post_title'].”‘ AND post_date_gmt = ‘”.$this->post['post_date_gmt'].”‘”;
$result_dup = @$wpdb->query($dup_query);        

if($result_dup) //Already posted: (log and) discard
{
      $handle = fopen(”./dup_posts.txt”, “a+”);
      fprintf($handle, “%s”, “POST_TITLE:”.$this->post['post_title'].”\n”);
      fprintf($handle, “%s”, “DUP_QUERY:”.$dup_query.”\n”);
      fprintf($handle, “%s”, “RESULT_DUP:”.$result_dup.”\n”);
      fclose ($handle);       
      return;
 }

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 1014

any idea?

thanks

Thanks so much for the update.

I’m still having some problems with posts looking weird. They are syndicating, but it’s not getting the information correctly. Sometimes only a single letter appears, sometimes titles are dropped, or no post content appears at all.

i have install at http://www.criticalbloggers.org.

thanks max

It’s a quick, inelegant and dirty solution: just a query on the db to check if there are other posts with the same guid or post_excerpt. Of course you can modify it to your needs. If the query returns anything, meaning that one or more posts have been found, “return” is called and the new post is not inserted in the DB.

Duplicate posts are logged into a text file called “dup_posts.txt” under your wordpress root directory. Make sure that it is writable (chmod it to 777). If you want to disable this feature (strongly suggested once that you’ve verified that posts that should be filtered out are actually filtered) just comment out the fopen, fprintf and fclose instructions.

I do not guarantee that this will work for any Wordpress installation and i will not answer to support requests. If the author of Feedwordpress (thank you for this great software, Rad Geek!) thinks this will not work or it can break Feedwordpress in any way, i hope he will let us know.

I strongly suspect that the “A” is a result of PHP echoing a fragment of the word “Array,” when FeedWordPress is expecting a string. At least, that’s generally what’s wrong with my code when that happens. :)

Thanks so much for FeedWordPress. It was well worth the $5 contribution, and I heartily encourage others to likewise contribute to keep the project going.
