I'm dum cornfused.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out the sorcery of board's XML aggregator (or what not). I'm trying to do two things: (a) pick up a xml feed of a blog; and (b) syndicate a forum of my own board. Let's take each of these separately.
IMPORTING A FEED
1. I put the feed url in and created a "rule," just as one might for an email-list capture.
2. I've put in the php executable in the job-administration part of the board. It took the executable when I pressed "set." Next, I scheduled the job to run every minute.
3. I then pressed "run now," and it told me the job was scheduled to run in the background.
4. Nothing happened after several minutes. I pressed "log report" (or something) and it told me that the job either wasn't executed or nothing was captured.
5. I then reset the date on the rule. It told me that all the old messages would be captured. I repeated 3-4. Nothing happened. (It's as if I'm not concentrating enough when I flick the wand).
SYNDICATING MY OWN FEED
I pressed "syndicate this feed" on one of my threads. All it does is download secret xml sorcery code into a textfile. What do I do with it? I was under the impression that if I pressed "syndicate feed," that a new page would come up with the last 15 entries or so. How do I get my own board forum to display its feeds on a webpage?
Yours flunking wizardry.
