Hey there, Guillermo! First off, you’re doing an awesome job. Producing a plugin for people to use for free all by itself can be a huge amount of work especially when people are so filled with their own sense of entitlement that they forget that you can leave them high and dry with no guarantees at all. It makes no sense to be rude to someone when you need something from them.
Sheesh.
I’m getting a simple error–a good old 500 internal server error when I click “submit” on the “add campaign” page. Any idea why this is? I’m guessing it’s something very simple.
Regardless, keep up the good work, man! You are appreciated!!

hola Guillermo,
son un monton de feeds y con todos los da igual resultado. Fijate este por ejemplo: http://news.google.com/news?ned=es&q=%22anna+simo%22%2Berc&output=rss
Lo insólito es que en algunos casos se muestra bien (en pocos) pero en el resto se rompe todo y no se entiende nada.
Gracias!

Hola Guillermo,
Pero tengo un pequeño problema:
(Ampliación) Pasqual Maragall anuncia que padece Alzheimer - Terra España
No toma bien los acentos, eñes y otras yerbas. Pero no siempre, eso es lo raro. Lo tengo en UTF8.
Tenés idea de cómo se puede solucionar???
Gracias!!

I think if I keep getting reports of double-posting, and after confirming my theory, the best idea would be to store the last ten hashes or so to prevent that.
I really need some reproducible steps to see double-posting myself…

Also, I agree, many webmasters can use this without dishonest hotlinking. But the reality is most will give a crap about other webmasters and start ripping off their bandwidth… so, I think it’s a wise idea to leave that option enabled by default.

Post duplication doesn’t have to do with dates
The strategy I’m using right now to prevent this is storing the last unique identifier of the post, so when fetching it checks that the first post it’s going to add does not match the latest added in the previous fetch. And I’ve never experienced post duplication myself.
I think some people have this problem because of feeds that update their posts order when updating. I really need someone -a close observer- to tell me why this happens after some experimentation.

@Guillermo
Yep, I’m crazy
Now about the changes.
1) That’s exactly I need (and many others too, as far as I know) - it’s better too have a post scheduling for a future, rather having a countless number of duplicated posts with a same date as it is implemented in the original code. Be sure to check it a bit closely.
2) cxxx_morph_content and cxxx_morph_post functions do nothing in case if you use the modified version of Wp-o-Matic plugin without CyberSEO. These functions are intended for using with CyberSEO plugin only.
3) There is no changes in adminSetup.
4) As about “ripping off” server bandwidth by re-defined image hotlinking. Let’s consider that the modified version of your plugin is intended for honest webmasters who don’t rip someone’s blogs, but use special sponsored feeds to make the profit from affiliate partnership. Personally I’m using your plugin for sponsored feeds only, so I don’t rip-off anything. That’s why I don’t care about affiliate program’s server bandwidth.

I don’t. I think you’re crazy actually. I just don’t check the moderation queue every other minute.
About your changes…
- First, if you don’t check the date from the feed to be between the time of posting and the time of the last parse, it can result in scheduling posts in the future… Also, since many feeds do not output the time accurately, this is something that must be checked. That’s why it may seem that the feature “doesnt’ work”
- What’s cxxx_morph_content and cxxx_morph_post ?
- I don’t see a single change in adminSetup
- By changing the database schema you don’t affect the default values. That must be changed in the template file (don’t know if you did, haven’t checked). It’s also a bad idea to rip off server bandwidth by default -you’re already ripping content off-, as it’s a bad idea to rely on the date the feed outputs.
