How to get blogs in new posts search
Developer Last Online: Mar 2011 
This modification is in the archives.
Many people are concerned over the lack of integration of the blog system with the main forum software. I see many posts asking "how do I get my blogs to show up in new posts?"
Basically you need to utilise the blog RSS feed and get it to post a blog as a post. This is how to do it. From your admincp - RSS Feed Manager Add a new RSS Feed Feed enabled: Yes URL of feed: http://www.yoursite.com/blogs/feed.rss Check every: 30 mins Feeds to fetch: 0 Username: choose or make a new one - blog bot or something Forum: chose an existing one or make a new forum and select options as you see fit, or see below. Allow Smilies: yes Display Signature: no convert html to bb code: yes Title template: {rss:title} Body template:
In the next sections, pick what you want but also make sure you do the following Thread action delay 1 Close thread after delay: yes Making a new forum When making a new forum for your blog posts, chose the setting your want for other users, but make sure of the following: Act as forum: yes Index New Posts in Search Engine: yes Forum is open: yes You can chose whether the forum is hidden or visible, but make sure the username you specified above is in a group that can post to this forum. Permissions I didn't want others to post so they have no post permissions. To get to the blog, they click on the link in the post and get taken there directly. To be able to see the posts they must have. Can View Forum: yes Can View Thread Content: yes Can View Others' Threads: yes Can Search Forums: yes A working version is at www.midlandsweather.org.uk My blog forum (so that you can see an example of the posts made is at www.midlandsweather.org.uk/mwf-blog Please click ***install*** if you use this.

Wait a second, it shows the full post without letting you know who made the post or actually taking you to the blogpost itself :S?
Isnt there possible to get the robot to post a redirect (if you allow it to use html)? No members have liked this post.

It comes into vbadvanced automatically on the recent threads module. No further work is needed.

Has anyone been able to get this to work on vbulletin 3.8? I really liked this set up, since it would make a new post, and then members could go to the blog. I am not good with rss and this just quit working out of the blue........any help would be greatly appreciated.

Works fine with 3.8.0. Instructions are exactly the same. As its picking up RSS it should be fairly future proof to be honest.

Okay, i have it working somewhat. Right now, i have the setting set how they are described in the instructions, but it is only updating posts that i post in my blog. It ISN'T placing other blogs into the forums.
What am i missing? Title: Insane Blogs URL of Feed: http://www.mysite.com/forums/blog_external.php User Name: DugDug (this is my site bot) Title Template: {rss:title} Body Template: {rss:content:encoded} Click here to be taken to {rss:dc:creator}s Blog... Insanemustangs Thread Action Delay: 1 Close Thread After Delay: Yes These are my settings, and i don't have an actual blog forum set up, i have them going to a very busy forum. Do i need to make a blog forum for this to work corretly? If so, i still don't understand how come the bot isn't posting other users blogs....? No members have liked this post.

Have you checked your blog RSS feed? To me it is only showing your blog posts, so the mod is working correctly. RSS feeds display what guests see, so make sure your permissions are correct for unregistered users

I have the guest permission set.....It works for my powertv channel. If someone posts a video, it will start a new thread with a link to the video and the usersname.
The blog mod for rssfeed, is only showing my blogs. When i have a user start a blog, that users blog isn't updating to the forum i selected. No members have liked this post.

The problem is it will only refect what is in your blog RSS, so you need to sort that out first for this mod to work for you.
http://www.insanemustangs.com/forums....php?type=RSS2 Your feed which is a reflection of your blog page http://www.insanemustangs.com/forums/blog.php?do=list looking at both of them, it looks like no-one else has made a blog post. Have you got new blogs sitting in the moderation queue?

Just logged into your site - its a permissions issue. You need to look at your guest access

Thanks for looking at it.
Okay, here are my current settings:
Can View Forum Yes Can View Thread Content Yes Can View Others' Threads Yes Can Search Forums Yes Can View Calendar Yes Can View Others' Events Yes Can View Member Info Yes Can View Others' Profile Pictures Yes Can View Albums: Users without this permission will still be able to see picture in public and profile album if they know the exact URL. Yes This Usergroup is not a 'Banned' Group: (Setting this to no will cause the group to be treated as a banned group, this will prevent the sending of email notifications, show a banned error message on the permission error pages and other unspecified behaviors.) Yes Can View Social Groups Yes Can this usergroup view the vBPicGallery? Yes Can View Other's Blog Yes Can Search Blogs Yes Can View Attachments Yes That is everything i have set to yet in the unregistered usergroup.......As far as i can tell, that is everything. If you look at yours in the admincp, what do you have set different? I am at a total loss on what is missing here......Like i say, if i post a blog it will show in the forums, but if another member does, it won't show up..... No members have liked this post.
