Hello Anne Marie Rasmussen,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.
Yes, you can using RSS feed functionality meet your requirement.

I make an sample explanation, let's say you have Site A and Site B :

step 1 : copy that RSS FEED URL from the Site A after you click the button (screenshot : http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-11-09_0010.png )
step 2 : GOTO your Site B backend > easyblog > Feed importer > add new > paste the RSS FEED URL in the "Feed URL" field ( http://screencast.com/t/Kpr6TzrLout7 ) | And select your category and author ( http://screencast.com/t/xSuog6bj ) > then save

Step 3 : you have to set your cronjob for run this automatically when your Site A publishing a blog post, so you no need to manually to run this URL in your public site ( http://yoursitename/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cronfeed ).

The Cron Feed documentation -> http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/cronjobs/setting-up-cronjobs-for-feed-imports-in-cpanel

/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://yourSiteDomain.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cronfeed"‏

Hope this help.

Hi Arlex,

I have to laugh every time you folks at Stackideas apologises for being slow in responding on a weekend and in the middle of the night your time. I don't think I've ever come across a company that is up almost 24/365. If that service doesn't recommend people to your products I don't know what would. No worries I was not in a hurry for the reply.

Couple of questions. If I use the RSS feed option for Site B does it post like a regular post with images, etc? Or just text. I always think of RSS feeds as those ticker type feeds in the early internet days. If it works like the remote publishing I'd be thrilled.

Now just to make this more confusing. Say I have 3 sites; A,B & C. When I post to A I also want to post to B so I use your suggestion above. So can I use the same method to post on Site C and have it appear on A? Don't you feel like you are in Math class again?

My life would be so simplified if I can, I might even be able to take one day off a month!

Hello Anne Marie Rasmussen ,

Thanks for understand.
Yes, you can imagine this ideas like Math formula

Site A (published blogpost) > Site B (will receive the blog post)

Site B (Auto publish the blog post) > Site C (will receive the blog post)

But either one (Site B or Site A) also need to set up from your Easyblog feeds imported backend.

Hi Arlex,

I'm getting a bit confused between sites. I'm not sure which site I need to set up the cron job on? I'm posting on Site A with the feed going to Site B. So it is Site B I should set up the cron job on to import the feed? Is that correct?

Hello Anne,

Yes, you have to setup on site B. Because B is the one that needs to import the feed from Site A. Hence, It needs cronjob to import the feed.

Hi,

I have finally set the feeds up per your instructionsbut it doesn't appear to be working properly ie posts not appearing on the sites. The cron jobs are running I believe as the feed import times are getting updated. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? I've included the site information below if you want a look. Can you let me know what I've done wrong as I'll have to adjust on another site as well.

Hello Anne,

Sorry for the late reply. I can't access this admin site: http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-11-18_1142.png . By the way, just to double confirm here, you have set up feed importer on this site: http://rhiannoncavaliers.com which will import the feed from this site: http://aboutcavalierhealth.com , right?

Hi Nik,

I didn't have any problem accessing the site. I have changed the password for that site and sending you the new information. Was it just the one site or both that you received the notice from? The host was doing maintenance and it might have been down for a few minutes.

Anyway yes I have set the feed importer on the rhiannoncavaliers.com site to import from aboutcavalierhealth.com.

Hello Anne Marie Rasmussen,

If I'm not wrong your server already blocked other IP address can't able to access in your backend, because I and my colleague still hitting this permission issues :

Error 403 - Forbidden



You don't have permission to access the requested resource. Please contact the web site owner for further assistance.

Can you consult this with your Webhosting provider regarding this?

By the way, can you check what you set the RSS feed URL from this site backend -> http://www.rhiannoncavaliers.com/administrator/index.php > Easyblog > feed importer > provide that URL for us.

Hi Arlex,

It may be my security system. Can you send your IP address so that I can whitelist? I have included the feed url below.

hello Anne,

Sure, this is my IP address -> 175.143.149.211

I didn't see any feed url in your previous post. Am i missing something here?

Hi Arlex,

I have whitelisted your IP so you should be able to access the site now. If not let me know and I'll see if there is something else put on by the host to block. I put the feed url in the extra url section but here it is again. http://aboutcavalierhealth.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=latest&format=feed&type=rss

hello Anne Marie Rasmussen,

Yes, still the same. When i trying to access this -> http://www.rhiannoncavaliers.com/administrator then hitting this :

Error 403 - Forbidden



You don't have permission to access the requested resource. Please contact the web site owner for further assistance.

At the same time, can you provide us some screenshot with your Feed importer setting?

And can you try manually click the "execute" button from the Feed imported page and see what result are you getting?

Hi Arlex,

You should be able to access the site now. We think it had another block on the rhiannoncavaliers.com site and have whitelisted your IP there. I have quickly looked at the settings and they look ok. I have to leave for work now but will try to execute the feed later, if you still can't get into the site.

Hi,

I have now used the execute on a couple of sites and the feeds imported. I have looked at the cron jobs and they look like they are working properly and the feed importer shows that they are importing. So why are they not being posted on the sites without using the executing function? Or now that I've executed will this fix it?

Hello Anne,

If you successfully imported using the manual execute function, means that the setting is correct and the issue is came from your cronjob. How did you know the cronjob is working properly? May I have your cpanel access? By the way, we still can't access the backend.

Hi Nik,

Weird about not being able to access the backend. I've included the info for cpanel also ftp info for site.

Hello Anne,

We've tried to access your cpanel but we got this: http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-11-19_1842.png *tried with multiple PC.

Hi Nik,

I've resent the log in info in case I gave you the wrong info. If you are still not able to access I will have to contact the host and see what is going on as you've never had problems before accessing the cpanel or other sites.

Hello Anne,

Thanks for the access. I've checked your cron and it seems like working just fine. We need to check your backend for further investigate this issue. But I'm still getting this when try to access you admin site: You don't have permission to access the requested resource. Please contact the web site owner for further assistance.

Hi Nik,

OK I think the host found the issue in another folder and you should be able to access the site now. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hello Anne,

I've fixed it for you. Please give it another try.

Hi Nik,

It's working but can you tell me what you did so I can do it on the other site that I'm sending feed to, please and thank you.

Kind Regards,

Anne Marie

Hello Anne,

It is actually your php.ini has included curl_multi_exec in disable_functions. Means that EasyBlog won't be able to run the function. I've excluded it.

Hi Nik,

Did you do that in the Cpanel or on the site itself? Just looked in the site's php.ini file in Cpanel and can't see anything....

Hello Anne,

I've edit this file: /php.ini in your joomla folder. You can see at the bottom of the file:
disable_functions="exec,passthru,shell_exec,system,proc_open,show_source,eval,chmod"

Previously, there is curl_multi_exec in it. means that it is inculded in disabled function. I've removed it.

Hi Nik,

Great. Many thanks for getting this working for me.

Kind Regards,

Anne Marie

Thanks for updating, glad that your issues are resolved now
