****************************************** * short instruction ****************************************** 1.) edit the inc/inc.config.php - be careful here! - read everything! 2.) setup the text/text.your_keyword.txt files - use existing ones as example! 3.) edit the text/urls.txt 4.) run bhs.xml.scraper.php 5.) run bhs.ping.php to ping the rss files -- ****************************************** * 1.) the config ****************************************** be sure you read all config var descriptions so you dont miss anything IMPORTANT. ****************************************** * 2.) the keyword / description files ****************************************** for example you want rss files created for the keyword "viagra": call it text.viagra.txt and put in the description texts for it - _ONE per line_ as many as you want. if you want to search for more then one keyword like "adult" and "dating" create "text.adult_dating.txt". ****************************************** * 3.) the urls of the sites you promote ****************************************** remember that the rss files have to be in the rss directory you set in the config. but you can create urls.txt with the domains your want to promote! :D if this file is create and filled the scripts recognize it and uses a random link from the file in the {url} of each item in the generated rss feed. to disable this and let the script use the blog_url config var from the config file just rename or delete the text/urls.txt file. ****************************************** * 4.) the scraper ****************************************** best way is to call it from the shell with -- # php bhs.xml.scraper.php -- or -- # php4 bhs.xml.scraper.php -- or -- # php5 bhs.xml.scraper.php -- whatever your php binary is - you see if anything is wrong. you also can call it over your webserver. just be sure that apache/etc. has write permissions to your rss folder. if its finished, look into the rss folder and see if everything is okay, like the rss feed url etc. ****************************************** * 5. ) the pinger ****************************************** same php binary or web procedure here. if its done it tells you and you probably see it in your log file. you can change the ping server list in inc/inc.servers.txt
