Odd. The browser reports "done," but nothing comes up? It's just a simple HTML page, with some CSS.

Let me know what happens, so we can hop on it. :thumbsup

edgeprod.. worked just fine in Firefox. I don't mind using that instead. In Opera, the browser never reports that it's done. The site I tested that received the feeds however, DID receive them all just fine.

bump for an answer to seoguys question

Users should have the choice of using any browser (within reason), so I'd like to fix the problem, of course.

Is it possible that Opera isn't capable of presenting data before the program has flushed it? (i.e., with PHP's flush() function). How long did you let it sit before closing it?

Very interesting, and strange.

Toss in a ticket about issues like these if you stumble across them and need something fixed -- I only found this thread had been updated purely by chance this morning. :winkwink:

Which part was the question? I'll quote his post directly.

I was just also wondering if you could "
Edit/Manipulate the rss feeds" "mix rss entries" and "post to categories on my blog"

Thanks, I always appreciate feedback on the function of the UI and software.

:thumbsup

Oops! We added this shortly after it was suggested by several users, but since this was posted to GFY and not as a ticket, you weren't updated. We don't use GFY as a support forum, so if you do have a feature request or support issue, please submit a ticket. :winkwink:

Here are some screenshots of it:

To update your software, login to the member's area, regenerate the archive and download it, then upload the files over the top of your ABPSA installation.

In fact, it posts based on the date of the RSS feed. This means that if you have a variety of RSS feeds, all with posts that have different dates, you will surely see a "mix" in there, for Wordpress sites.

We wrestled with this, going back and forth to how we wanted it to work. We currently post everything to a single category (as this is how the vast majority of users were setting up Autoblogger [the old Wordpress version]). We *can* change this to post to individual categories, but I am not sure what everyone's opinion is. If people weigh in on this, we can look at whether to change it, or to leave it posting to a single category for now.

Check the reply I just posted for enlightenment and other random Zen moments. :winkwink:

very cool product :)

Er, thanks.

+1 Vote for supporting categories. Or at least an ability to post to 1 additional category instead of the default category.

Okay. Another possibility might be to add a configuration option that allows you to CHOOSE the default behavior: post to a single category (which you can then define), or post to the category you plunk the feed into.

That probably makes the MOST sense -- so everyone wins.

The functionality to post to categories has been added. This new release, as well as the 1.x series, have been "silent" updates, meaning we haven't made "official" announcements about them. The next "major" release is 1.10 (Xenon), which will incorporate all of the changes to date, merge some other features into the code base, and tighten up help text in many areas.

Here's the changelog for this version and the last (1.08):

But is not possible buy the autoblogger wp plugin for 99$ ?

I would like to see results from people that have brought this :-)

We've disabled ordering of the older Autoblogger during the initial release of the Stand Alone to avoid confusion. Sorry for the inconvenience. They are completely different products, however.


Check out Chio's thread:

:winkwink:

i just wanted to be in chios thread.

vahallah

And ... here ya are! :1orglaugh

Quick bump so people know 1.09 is available without making another thread. :)

Edge - these changes are awesome!

I'm taking your advice and setting up a package of useful plugins. Install wordpress, upload the plugins, turn them on, drop in the theme, add the new site to ABPSA and done!

I'm also working on a link management system for networked blogs.. sucks having to add a new partner link to 1000 blogs by hand! Not that I have that many.. yet.. With ABPSA it won't be long :)

Thanks! Glad everything is working out for you! :thumbsup

For sure, it'd suck to add that many links by hand. I'd love to take a look when you're done -- good luck with it!

edge I plan upgrading tomorrow or friday. Just need a little time to sit down and get it done and then mess around with it. Will I still be able to get the upgraded price?

Of course. :)

Toss in a ticket if you have any problems, and we'll get you rolling.

how many blogs can this run? how long would an update take with 10 blogs? how about 50? 100? Kind of curious what kind of limits may exist.

There was a new feature added to ABP 2.6 ages ago called linkmapper that may help with your link management.

We don't limit how many blogs it can post to in the code of the software itself.

Speeds vary depending on where you're posting out to. When I post to sites on the same server, it's bing-bing-bing-bing-bing-bing, and on other servers it's bing-dudda-bing-dudda-bing.

That's the technical terms.

Gotta love the technical terms. ;)

For sure.

Did you get your categories update (1.09)?

I have 2.6 on a couple sites - can't find this linkmapper - where it be at? :)

It looks like it's in "plugins" on the WordPress side.

"Link Mapper 1.0 Dynamically display links relevant to a WordPress category."

Not yet, but I will soon and put it to the test. I want to read up and figure out how to cron it now and let it run all by itself for a few days.

Sounds good.

I use cURL for cronning, usually, but I believe these can be run individually.

You need a forum. Do you have one?

Meaning, do we have a product that enables you to create forums? Yes.

If you mean do we have a SUPPORT forum? Yes, also, but it hasn't gone "live" yet -- we're tweaking a few custom abilities of the forum still.

Lies, all of it. You're botting in warcraft.

Hey, I won't deny it. I just fired up my laptop, removed Linux, installed Windows, and am now installing World of Warcraft so I can bot on the laptop while I code on the PC. :winkwink:

Oops, forgot this part. This was the reason I went to do some more testing today. :) Will let you know how this works out for me.. going to set something up and test it soon.

Sounds good! Our testing was done using Autoblogger Pro Stand Alone 1.09 and WordPress 2.0.5, on Yellow Fiber Networks.

Everything worked nicely.

If you encounter problems, please toss me a ticket. :)

the problem with the sammich was just a little too much mayo

ok, just a few things i still miss (correct me if I just didn't see it)

- automatic updates of the blogs using the rss feeds by autoblogger, or do I really have to click 'run autoblogger pro' each time i want my blogs updated?
- something like 'update blog with fresh, randomly choosen rss entries every second day' or so
- crop all images in a feed to a specific width (while keeping the proportions)
- add a prefix (for tracking) to the links in the feed

I wished there was a possibility to make all feeds from different sponsors look the same, because of the differences a blog can really look messy...

other than that I'm very happy with abpsa :-)
