Hi there,
I'm still having problems with the cron setting for importing feeds into easyblog.
I have 4 feeds setup in the easyblog backend and when I manually execute them in the backend they correctly pull the RSS feeds into easyblog.

When I execute in my browser the following: http://downwind.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cronfeed I sometimes receive one of the feeds imported (ie. not the expected 4). In fact, I recently received the following error: "No item migrated from feed "" ()" I have also checked the feeds and they all have new articles ready for me to pull in.

I have setup my crontab as the following:
22 6,12 * * * /usr/bin/nice lynx - source "http://downwind.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cronfeed"; > /dev/null
This is so that the feeds are pulled in each day at 6:22am and 12:22pm (ie. twice per day)
At no time has this worked.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Michael
Hello Michael,

I can't login using the login details you sent us. However for the Feed Importer, please note that each time the cron runs it will fetch only the entries from 1 feed. If you have multiple feeds then you will need the cron to run several times to fetch entries from all the feeds.

As for this error

"No item migrated from feed "" ()"

it actually means that all your feeds has been processed within the timeframe you've set and thus no feeds to be processed. You can control the time frame when you edit the feed itself. http://screencast.com/t/whrWxKrVvDnY This Cron Interval will control the frequency of the feed being processed. Hope this helps.

Thanks!
