Which is why I said de-activate the plugin...
Yeah, which is what I do whenever I upgrade plugins across numerous installations.

Though I'm sure you meant to rewrite the _automate & _options tables to accomodate the changed headings, it didn't happen, hence the need to wipe the tables manually before a fresh install and activation.

Maybe I'll see what I can do about the lack of comments in manual mode and the phpbay functionality. Kind of a pain having to deactivate this, reactivate that.

And, uhhh, the "numb" comment was in regards to my taking so long to track the culprit down, not you or your software, just to be clear.

Took me most of the day to track down a missing space in some of my own code and I always feel like an idiot after whatever is boogered shows up.:Yahoo_29:

Your report just kinda agrivated me that's all haha not anything you did, but when I was testing I was having issues with getting the re-activation to fix up the databases but eventually I found a solution that started to work and I did it several times on several different names, ect... and everything seemed to work just fine.

But obviously its not just fine since its not working on a few others. Back to the drawing board for a little longer.

I get the following error. What should the permissions be?

/bin/sh: /home/****/public_html/****/wp-content/plugins/RealVMS/automate.php: Permission denied
Click to expand...

change it to 777 or 0777 and try again.
 


hey, just asking, but is this worth it?

I mean, because google is probably smart enough to detect that the comments and description is copied from youtube

nice plugin, nevertheless!
 
After changing the permission to 777 on automate.php I'm now getting this error.

/home/****/public_html/****/wp-content/plugins/RealVMS/automate.php: line 1: ?php : No such file or directory
/home/****/public_html/****/wp-content/plugins/RealVMS/automate.php: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `0'
/home/****/public_html/****/wp-content/plugins/RealVMS/automate.php: line 2: ` set_time_limit(0);

Who are you using for a hosting provider they seem to be doing some wonky shit, like not allowing some basic functions to run.

The first line just means it can't include another file, the second and third means it can't use set_time_limit(0) function, which is odd cause I don't think I've ever seen a host that couldn't use that.

I've ran similar things for years and never had an issue with using video from other sites (YouTube included) and putting them on an automated site.
 
hi Aequitas,

what I meant is the content, like description and comments, if it's obviously duplicated for google, and even exactly the description they already have on youtube...
so I guess this sites doesn't get a lot of love?

They don't get as much as they could with 100% unique content but I still see an easy 20-40% index rate, pretty decent if you ask me since there is no work involved once automated.

any luck on the phpBay problems?

Haven't had much time to really jump on it this past week, next week will be fairly busy as well for me but I'm going to do my best to work on it hard again next weekend.

Sorry for all the delays in updates but my advertising is kind of my first priority and has been eating up my time.
 
Aequitas, I tried your plugin pretty cool. Thanks for putting it online.
I'm using something similar which is running locally..

What I would find useful is random dates in the past for the posts, or within a given range (or is there some other plugin/way to do this?)

it randomizes times on the day the script is run... this should suffice for most.

sure, I meant when starting out, usually with some hundret pages... then it doesn't look good if all are created on the same day :)
 
Any Fix for the automation problem i posted before ?
Id like to keep using this plugin, but right not its not practical if the automation doesnt work...

im kinda noob with phpmyadmin so i dont want to mess up things more than they might be... i dunno if thats what causing the problem, do i just go in there ( phpmyadmin ) and delete everything that has your plugin name on it ? then re-install ?

Id like to keep the videos that were posted already on my site though... errr, help ?

Thanks !
 
I was having a few issues with this plug in too. I thought it might just be my noobness (and it likely is) but Godaddy is sending me messages saying it aint working.

:(

I will also say that I love this plug-in and am hoping it gets working again. Also, I would be willing to pony up some money for something like this.
 
Can I make a bunch of accounts on Wordpress.com or .org, wherever the free blogs get hosted, and then set up cron jobs on one of my own hosting account to run all those blogs?
I've never set up a cron job before, so for the command do I just need to type the automate.php url?

Probably not and no....that is the simple answer cause I don't feel like writing out a long one, sorry.

As for any updates with this well honestly its been an insane 2 months for me and haven't had an ounce of time, my days are seriously well into the 16 hour range, I don't even know what sleep is like anymore.

But hopefully it'll slow down soon and I can get back to this severely neglected project of mine but in the mean time there has got to be someone else around that's half decent with PHP that could or maybe already has taken there own time to tweak the script to fix the current automation bugs.
 
Ok guys I'm going through this plug again and making some updates (Finally) and to be honest I'm pretty much bitch slapping myself every 5 minutes with the changes I made last time, fuck I must have been on crack or something I screwed up in the code a lot.

I think I needed the last month break from programming to clear my head and to get back on track anyway I'm re-reading this entire thread and making any required suggestions that I missed last time.

Re-Reading and re-testing like mad to solve all the bugs everyone has mentioned.

To be honest the first version was a lot more stable then the second one, but nonetheless this one I'm working on now should be a good one and it should fix a ton of issues you were all having.

I'm going to personally test this with the PHPBay plugin to see exactly what the fuck is going on with the two since a few have had some conflicting issues.

Which leads me to ask a question if anyone is having a conflict with the PHPBay plugin can you please let me know what version of PHPBay you are using?

Thanks and I'll post back here soon with a link once I get the update done up. I'm going to try and submit it to the wordpress database so maybe some of you will be able to automatically update directly through your WP interface instead of via downloading the new files manually.
