Or is it possible to install article generator twice so I have two cron jobs instead of one giant one?

When you open Components > AG you will see 2 tabs the FEEDER MANAGER and the CONFIGURATION. Click the configuration tab, below that you will see options, and on the 6th option you will see the "duplicate avoidance chu chu". In its dropdown menu choose No Duplicates on DB, and save it. Try setting the option Get with CURL to YES and save it again.

obviously, when cron fetches feeds in 50s, that would surely cause the server in taking a lot of memory or should i say bandwidth usage. Because it keeps on fetching the same items. and it adds up everyday. if your dupe avoidance is set to no dupe, then perhaps it will work fine.

Installing AG twice is i guess will not commence. unless you rename it to AG2.
Anyway, just wanna ask this questions in case my suggestions didn't work for you.

What command do you actually write on your cronjob? GET, LYNX, ???

What's the frequency of your updates? twice a day? every hour? ???

i use: ""/usr/bin/php -q" for my cron. not sure wt name it has. also what is the difference between curl and not curl??

And I have a problem with my sh404sef H1 tag, i enabled it but when i look in the source file of my page. it is not there :/

Anyway how is your site doing? making any money? lol

peace

Hi ethan.ky

try using these codes although it still depends on your hosting server:

this one works best for me. No duplicates on DB for sure.

PHP Code:


			
lynx -source http://www.yoursite.com/components/com_articlegenerator/cronjob/cronjob.php

/usr/bin/php http://www.yoursite.com/components/com_articlegenerator/cronjob/cronjob.php

GET http://www.yoursite.com/components/com_articlegenerator/cronjob/cronjob.php

i tried changing AG's xml, but as u've experienced, i encountered errors.

i haven't tried H1 on sh404sef yet.

i haven't monetized much my autoblogs. so far since november i only earned 4.79 in 1 autoblog and 19.89 on my other one.

I haven't given focus to it yet lately til now coz i'm working on an autoblog also with a client.

it's almost done. but need to do some tweaks on fetching full text feeds. sometimes i fetched only the intro text-no read more. sometimes full text-no read more. other times only Titles no intro no full. Sheeeks!

Anyway, i'll give you updates as soon as i'm done with my client's project.

How about you? how many autoblogs have you made? and how's the $$$ coming?

Good tainted!

Na, I haven't monetized it yet. I only focus on one currently. Got a good domain name, backlinks coming in naturally, though not too much SE traffic :/

Do you do link building for ur autoblogs??

I'm glad you fixed your H1 tag problem.

Not anymore, i did link-building say like 3weeks non-stop of doing backlinking, bookmarking, manual and some automated using tools found around here. So far I'm happy with the rank i have. PR 2/10.

buddy can you provide us with the RSS2Feed PDF Manual? I would really appreciate that.... I followed your website's instructions to setup the component but I don't know why is not working properly...

hi buddy. nice of you to join us. actually, I don't have the Manual for the RSS2Feed or should I say RSS2C0ntent.

The manual is usually packaged with it once you purchase one from them. So far I haven't got it either.

In what particular area was your problem? perhaps members here could assist you in some way or another.

aldis · #96 (**permalink**) 01-13-2010, 09:34 PM

I followed your instructions ( http://www.joomlaautoblog.info/Jooml...oomla-autoblog ) but I don't know why the component is not "fecthing the feeds"...

i get your point there buddy. Well, there are 3 ways to fetch feeds:
1st is by clicking the Manual Load RSS inside RSS2F33d component tabs.
2nd is by enabling the cron within the RSS2F33d component to do fetching once the site is opened by visitors or bots.
3rd is by setting within your hosting site a cronjob to fetch these feeds which differs to the kind of hosting servers you have. But here are some of most common commands:

HTML Code:

/usr/bin/php /path/to/cronjob.php (on some servers)

HTML Code:

GET http://www.myserver.com/myfolders/to/cronjob.php  (on some others)

HTML Code:

lynx -source http://www.myserver.com/myfolders/to/cronjob.php  (on some others)

to test your site if it could fetch or not, use manual fetching. If you have fetched some feeds before, you may want to delete all your fetched articles in the articles manager and delete them again in the article trash.

Good luck. PM me your results.

Good tainted!

finally got it working, but it only takes the intro text from the rss feed, can't it take the whole article?

you need to install rokbox plugin and enable it. then you need to set Add rel='rokbox' to links: in the RSS configuration to YES before feed fetching for it to show the full content (from the source site) wrapped in rokbox plugin. anyway they're still inside your site.

Ths is a great thread, and I have been trying to get an autoblog up and running on my site using the info here.

I have installed the rewrite plugin and tried to have it work on my articles. However, I get the following error message within my posts:

Warning: file(/home/.../.../.../plugins/content/norewriter.php) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/.../.../.../plugins/content/rewriter.php on line 17983

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/.../.../.../plugins/content/rewriter.php on line 17985

I tired to look at the php inthe error to see what the problem may be but it makes no snence to me:

line 17983: $rows=file($nosyn);
line 17985: $syn_donot = " ";

any suggestions what I can do here?

greekmooman · #**102** (**permalink**) 01-16-2010, 10:56 PM

another issue I am having is with the Rss2Content. It works fine in all aspects accept one. It keeps placing all or most of the article text in the metadata field as well. This causes the article to load above my entire website header as well as in the main article area. it makes my website look horrible, in order to get rid of this text I have to go through each article ad remove this from the metadat section which of course removes the whole automated part of this... Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it?

A solution we did with this is installing JoomSEO plugin. and enabling it.

That resolves the offset of yoursite.

Hi all,

I have been autoblogging with joomla for about a year now. This is just a headsup that rss2content does not scale well when using a lot of feeds. I had one site with around two thousand feeds that I have had to rewrite.

The solution I went for was to use metamod to scrape the article title, and then use magpie rss to pull in rss content to module positions. The content is not in the local database, but with a bit of fiddling it does show up in the html when crawled.

I'll post a list of com/mod/plugins that I used when joomla autoblogging this afternoon.

hi today I find this post of joomla autoblogging.I made an autopilot website in Joomla 3 weeks ago so now i find good tips for my website.
Anyway my website works perfect i use 4rss and for me it's the best for grab the feeds of the other web site.But my question is that i want to autoping my articles when the 4rss create a content.
I install a plugin that ping the articles but only ping when i create the content by myself no trhu the 4rss.
And i think wordpress with this plugins are better because joomla is very poor in stuff like that.
Anyone knows a plugin or can rewrite some plugin for joomla.
thanks and sorry for my english I'm from spain men,you know...

Interestingly the new version of RSS Factory Pro 1.5.9 claims to grab the full content from the source article not only the truncated rss.

I used to have a previous release of this component, which frankly was shit. Also factory.ro have a shitty policy about bug fixing and upgrades. You get a one time download of the code, and thats it. literally a click you can only click on once.

If they fix a major bug you dont get told about it, and have to plead for an upgrade - which is then supplied at their discretion.

I wonder if a nulled version of the new component will appear here soon....

Kabeer · #**110** (**permalink**) 02-20-2010, 08:32 AM

Guys all of this can be done! I dont understand how to fetch youtube VIDS?
Has anybody done that?

deign23 · #**111** (**permalink**) 02-22-2010, 01:28 AM

As far as I tried it, you will only be able to fetch video info from youtube such as the account who submitted it, views, rating and stuffs like that. Also the thumbnail of the video.

However, most of the link that you'll fetch is linked to youtube. I suggest you install JomTube component and upload video REMOTELY, then manually copying the link URLs from youtube and you got yourself your own youtube site.

i'm in process to flipping a joomla website, gonna add autoblog in this website to get more value added.

CyberWizard · #**113** (**permalink**) 04-17-2010, 03:03 AM

Joomla is a great solution for running automated websites! I have been using Joomla to do that for a couple of years through the use of RSS feeds.

It's out there, just do a rapidshare file search. Alot of links were taken down, but I found a good one evntually. I am testing it out now, because I am not really satisfies with Rss2content and rokbox.

As far as the article rewriter, I have the same errors as mentioned above. You mentioned it was given out here, but I am having trouble finding that thread because I would like to see some instructions for it.

Re: Doing Joomla AutoBlogging Test

I don't know if you guy's know that ther are two components for joomla that allows you to run wordpress, and wp-MU blogs on joomla, they re by corephp. check out joomla's extensions @ extensions.joomla.org. search for corephp

So it will takes you much more time to make a good autoblog/autowebsite with joomla than wordpress, and even that you may get the same result or less in the end. I don't think it worth if you're making a basic niche blog .

I don't mean this is not gona work, you'll end up with a good looking blog/website with joomla but for less time and work, you can easily have a good auto blog with Wordpress, so you better spend time getting good keywords and promoting your blogs .

do u have a quick and automated way to get backlinks ??

Thks.

I was try make autoblog with joomla, but all the joomla extensions can't show full article.
Is there anyone here who has successfully made the auto blog with joomla with full article?...

labossiere · #**119** (**permalink**) 10-25-2011, 05:29 PM

Does anyone still have the joomla content rewiter plug in as the links do not work anymore.

We had a component created that we can upload a list of lets say 20k keywords to a joomla site you already have a pre created article that has the code {KEYWORD} in a few spots throughout the article. Everywhere {KEYWORD} is, the component will take one keyword and stick it in those slots and create 20 thousand pages with the keywords as the []html title. So in turn you have 20k new pages that are all keywords with a short paragraph that has a single keyword listed a few times in it. it will do this for each keyword.

We cant sitemap the pages though because duplicate content however if we could implement this rewriter and write one decent size article per 100 keywords or better it would all come out unique and we have major keywords as []html tags that we could site map and come up for on easy, very easy, doable keywords.
