    i purchased this script but it takes fopen url - my server has this disabled. I would apreciate if you could atleast put up requirements before we waste money on a script that is now pretty much worthless.

  5. Charles Says:

    can you not set this up to use curl, since you have it completely encryted i can’t do anything about or give me a refund

    comment-bottom
  6. goscript Says:

    @Charles: 99% of the hosts have fopen enabled by default. Actually you are the only one I hear with this problem. Can’t you contact your host and ask them to enable it?
    Anyway, I’ll have a Curl version done too in 2-3 days max. Please contact me after to receive this version.

  7. Charles Says:

    thank you goscript - im afraid i have mediatemple as my host - they will not turn it back on sometime around jan 07 they turned it off and will not reenable it so i am limited on many things but love this script and want to use it for my site so thanks for the curl version

  17. goscript Says:

    @Kiss2008:
    Regarding the title, this is because you are using microsoft word smart quotes instead of usual quotes.

    As for the comments, you must be logged in to your wp-admin area before accessing it. This is why you get this error. Always login before accessing forum2blog area.

    i want this one to do the following

    Step1 Option B : Instead of entering a FORUM URL, I can choose to specify multiple URLS and it will import them into my blog.

    Step 2: Select the category to place the threads under.

    i will pay much for this $$$

    Hey Go Scr!pt,

    Heard a lot about you man , I came to know about your software forum2blog (http://www.forum2blog.com/) thru search engine. I was looking for something like this, but I also saw your discussion on http://goscript.net that it uses fopen function of PHP. but my host has disabled the same due to hacking vulnerabilities….they have asked me to go for a program which uses curl function instead. can you provide me such program?

    I am looking for a similar program as another user charles (in the same thread have requested) . Let me know if you can help me out ??

    Thanks in Advance

    So posts and responses in Vbulletin are not linked to users, but randomly assigned a fake name? What if the Worpress site has already imported the members, could the import script match the user names for topic and response posts?

    Hi.
    Could you please answer 2 Q.

    1. Is your app a WP plugin? or standalone app?
    2. Is your app able to parse forum threads that have no RSS feeds?

    Thanks.

    comment-bottom
  57. goscript Says:

    @ratik:
    1. I’d say it’s right between the two, as it’s a WP plugin but you don’t have to copy it in the plugins folder.
    2. Yes, Forum2Blog it’s not using rss feeds to read the posts.

  64. Dell Says:

    Is it possible with the program to auto up date a VB subject title? Meaning any person that posts under a subject VB titles will be automatically posted on your blog? Would that not be easier?

    Example:
    A VB Sports board has a category called “football”

    Any threads and posts can automatically be fed in your blog?

    goscript: That my friend,would be an awesome script. Kind of like the way WP-omatic works. If you ever program one..I’ll be your first client..the very first day you finish it and know easily 20 others that would also buy it.

    Also, is there a demo around to try out this current program? Just to let you know.. I also bought your WordPress Uniquefier Plugin v3.3 a few months back.

    Hello, I’m interested to purchase your script.
    I have a question, how if the forum is required to login first before we can read the thread? if we click on thread link it will force us to login page..

    Maybe you can give an option login and password for the forum on your script? so we can import from forum that require to login first.

  81. zaman Says:

    Hi goscript,

    Are you planning to release a newer version of this plugin. This plugin is awesome and I have been using it on one of my websites for quite sometime.

    But there is one very important feature missing. When I import the post from a forum, it is directly posted. But there might be some unwanted smileys or comments which we might like to edit out. Or we might like to add some unique content in the first post for SEO purposes. So, is it possible to add an edit feature so that we can check and edit the post if needed before publishing.

    You can let the comments be as it is but only for the main post/first post you can enable the edit feature before posting. This will make it even a more awesome plugin.

    One more thing that some others might not know is that this plugin can import single posts too instead of the whole thread. Just enter the direct link to the post and it will import. I do so mostly and the edit feature would especially be great for such a case as there is only a single post then and then if we edit and modify the post before final posting then it would be really good for SEO purpose too as it would be completely unique content then.

    Please enable this ability to edit the post before final posting in the next version of this plugin.

    comment-bottom
  82. goscript Says:

    @Zaman: Hi,
    Yes I can implement the edit feature by adding an option to add the post in wordpress as a draft so you can publish it after you make the changes.

    Will work on it this days and release the update.

    Cheers

    One more thing. I am planning to move the website to one of my reseller accounts at hostgator. Do you have any customer who has hosted sites using this plugin at hostgator and does this plugin work in hostgator.
