SmartRSS Plugin is a Wordpress plugin

Transform your blog into an automated posting tool by syndicating with multiple RSS feed sources!

Features:
- administration tool for managing rss feeds
- each feed can be assigned to a specific category
- after importing the feed, you may display related feeds by using the provided code below
- cron job for importing feeds as a scheduled period

Package contains:

- smart_rss.php file - the backend plugin
- wp_smartrss.php - the cron job file which does the import

Installation:

- upload files smart_rss.php to the wp-content/plugins directory of your wordpress installation
- go into your Plugins administrator tab and activate it
- you will be able to access the plugin backend by going to the Options tab -> the SmartRss subtab
- upload wp_smartrss.php to your wordpress home path, for security reasons i would suggest you rename this file to something you like
- to start importing fields go to http://sitename/wp_smartrss.php url, if you would like to do this automatically you can setup a cron job to run that file
- to setup the cron job use a code similar to this:

“nice –adjustment=19 /usr/bin/php /$full-path-to-the-file/wp_smartrss.php”
or
“nice –adjustment=19 /usr/bin/php /$full-path-to-the-file/your_file_name.php”

- if you would like to put this file somewhere else on the server, you need to edit the line from the file wp_smartrss.php containing
require_once(’wp-config.php’);
and replace it with something like
like require_once(’/$full-path-to-wordpress/wp-config.php’);
where $full-path-to-wordpress is the full path to your wordprss installation folder
