Create posts from RSS feeds

[deleted]

katos with a bit of modification, yes. You could create an associate array that defines the tag for each feed. I've been thinking about doing this myself as my forum evolves, so yes, it's certainly possible

[deleted] Great! Thanks for this. Will have to dig into this and work out how I'm going to sort that.

For now, I am currently getting a CSRF token mismatch error which I am trying to track down. Probably missed something silly to be fair.

[deleted] Will you be making this an official plugin then?

[deleted]

JAC eventually, yes. No time frame yet though.

Hi [deleted],

I have everything working with the feed DB, but nothing is posted to flarum.

When I run php rssparser.php For each, out of the 10 items I get;
This does not exist...processing Checking https://articleURL/ This does not exist...processing

When I run php rssparser.php again For each, out of the 10 items I get;
Checking https://articleURL/ This has already been processed...skipping

When I check the feed DB, the id | url | title | seen content are there correctly.

But, nothing is posted to flarum.

Instructions I followed

$header = array( "Authorization: Token the token you generated in the first step", "Content-Type: application/json" );
I changed "Authorization: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
In my flarum_api_keys table I have;
key = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
id = 1
allowed_ips = NULL
scopes = NULL
user_id = I used "NULL" and I used the "userID"
created_at = 0000-00-00 00:00:00
last_activity_at = NULL
array(
'type' => 'tags',
'id' => "23"
)
` I changed 23 to the primary tag, (and even checked to make sure my tag settings is; Required Number of Primary Tags =1, Required Number of Secondary Tags =0)
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 22); - I changed 22 to the user ID and gave the user admin rights.

Please what am I missing @[deleted] . Thanks in advance...

Operator Did you install the flarum api client at the top of the guide, and create a key in the database ?

This issue was passed to Discourse for further work. It's now resolved, partly thanks to this thread
https://discuss.flarum.org/d/24059-csrf-token-mismatch-when-calling-apiusers-to-add-a-new-user

And

Authorization:

Should have been

Authorization: Token

[deleted]
Yes,
I installed
composer require flagrow/flarum-api-client and composer require simplepie/simplepie
Yes,
I created a 40 character alphanumeric token

Is CURL installed on your system ?

Also, are you sure that the tag ID is correct ? The API is verbose, so should post some output as to why it didn't work. Can you set $items = 10; to $items = 1; then empty the feed table (truncate, not drop).

Run rssparser.phpagain and post the output

Operator

Thank you for replying...

Yes CURL is installed.
When I applied your instructions, I got
Connected to database Processing RSS feed https://articleURL/ This does not exist...processing
Checking the feed DB, the id | url | title | seen are there
But, again nothing in flarum

[deleted]

I know this sounds stupid (and it's my fault for not getting it right in the documentation) but within rssparser.php, can you ensure that you are referencing "details.php" using the correct path, and not as below ?

include("/var/www/vhosts/phenomlab.com/details.php");

It should be

include("/path/to/your/details.php");

Failing that, I will need some form of access to your environment to review this.

Operator

[deleted]
Obviously, Yes. That's why I get the Connected to database response because it comes from include("/path/to/my/details.php");

Thank you, for your efforts... I would keep troubleshooting on my end.

[deleted]

Operator Did you set this ?

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://yourflarumurl/api/discussions');

Operator

[deleted] Yes I when used curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://yourflarumurl/api/discussions'); I got a csrf_token_mismatch 400 error
Connected to database Processing RSS feed https://articleURL/ This does not exist...processing {"errors":[{"status":"400","code":"csrf_token_mismatch"}]}

So, i changed it to curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'api/discussions'); since I am running the script from root which clears the csrf_token_mismatch 400 error

But, could my alteration have been the reason why flarum api is'nt taking in the request.?

Yes 🙂

You need the full URL for the API to work - can you set that and try again ? For example https://www.myforum.com/api/discussions

Operator

Okay, Changed it. But, now i am stuck with this error;
Connected to database Processing RSS feed https://articleURL/ This does not exist...processing {"errors":[{"status":"400","code":"csrf_token_mismatch"}]}

Operator Are you running Beta13 ? That bug was resolved in this release.

Operator

[deleted] Yes. I did a recheck and php flarum info says Flarum core 0.1.0-beta.13

[deleted]

Operator Hmmm... Any caching taking place, for example, NGINX etc ?

[deleted]

Operator Let's take this offline to Discord. You can easily find me there 🙂 I have some questions which require answers but obviously not for posting here for security reasons.

Operator

[deleted] I have sent you a request.
Thank You!
