RSS news by demond

[demond]

is there an option when it annouce new post it will give the url? so !rss cmd wont be needed so much?

no; but it's easy to modify the script to do so

and another question
does this rss http://www.torec.net/rss.asp supported by the script?

give it a try and let us know

[flashy]

thank you demond , I've tried many scripts most of them caused me high cpuload , not sure why.yours seems very nice.
I am having this problem though
[04:28] Tcl error [::rssnews::news]: can't read "source(#place)": no such variable
any ideas please?

[demond]

I'd guess because they all use blocking I/O - which is not the case with this script

if you can reproduce the error, type .set errorInfo on the party line and let us know the resulting output

[flashy]

working now:)
thanks alot!
great script.

having 4 probs with this
im using eggdrop v1.6.18+spelling-errors-suck windrop

prob 1
it doesnt seem to like multiple channels at all

prob 2
im not seeing any links after the headlines

prob 3
if i type !rss news* or !rss read*
or !rss news1 or !rss read1 etc i get the following errors messages

[10:26] <The_Sorcerer> !rss read*
[10:26] -Botznews- argument must be number or *
[10:26] <The_Sorcerer> !rss news*
[10:26] -Botznews- argument must be number or *
[10:26] <The_Sorcerer> !rss read*
[10:27] -Botznews- argument must be number or *
[10:27] <The_Sorcerer> !rss read1
[10:27] -Botznews- argument must be number or *

Prob 4 i get this message in my console all the time
[10:35] <botznews> [10:35] rssnews-1.6: ERROR(#TriviaIRC): HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Temporarily

besides that this works great just wish there was a way to repeat even if it wasnt updated (i know it repeats just fine if news is constnatly updated like googles or cnn.com) but i have a small blog that im trying to get the info to my chan but i dont update the blog every 5 mins like google does so it doesnt get repeated.

so i thought well i can just make a timer on irc that would every 5 mins type "!rss read*" but again i get those errors "Argument must be number or *"

i'm a noob so im 99.9% sure its something im doing wrong. not the fault of this script at all

yes it does, but one feed per channel; read through the entite thread for explanation on why is that, and how you could circumvent the limitation

prob 2
im not seeing any links after the headlines

that behaviour is by design - I don't like the idea of pasting URLs publicly

prob 3
if i type !rss news* or !rss read*
or !rss news1 or !rss read1 etc i get the following errors messages

[10:26] <The_Sorcerer> !rss read*
[10:26] -Botznews- argument must be number or *
[10:26] <The_Sorcerer> !rss news*
[10:26] -Botznews- argument must be number or *
[10:26] <The_Sorcerer> !rss read*
[10:27] -Botznews- argument must be number or *
[10:27] <The_Sorcerer> !rss read1
[10:27] -Botznews- argument must be number or *

so did you bother to try !rss * or !rss 1 as suggested?

Prob 4 i get this message in my console all the time
[10:35] <botznews> [10:35] rssnews-1.6: ERROR(#TriviaIRC): HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Temporarily

the script doesn't support automatic redirection; you need to specify the feed's real and ultimate URL

besides that this works great just wish there was a way to repeat even if it wasnt updated (i know it repeats just fine if news is constnatly updated like googles or cnn.com) but i have a small blog that im trying to get the info to my chan but i dont update the blog every 5 mins like google does so it doesnt get repeated.

it's not called rssNEWS for nothing

the whole idea is to announce NEWS only, not static content

so i thought well i can just make a timer on irc that would every 5 mins type "!rss read*" but again i get those errors "Argument must be number or *"

feel free to modify the script however you wish yourself; I never customize my scripts on request, and rarely hint people on that, but anyway: you need to get rid of that [lsearch]:

Code: Select all

	if {[lsearch -exact $hash($chan) [md5 $title]] == -1 && [botonchan $chan]} {

i'm a noob so im 99.9% sure its something im doing wrong. not the fault of this script at all

I'm glad you like it

[The_Sorcerer]

oops didnt notice the !rss * command , well anyway this is very nice script. again thanks

[fauves]

Hi, anyone have a rss link about livescore football?

[d4rkm3n]

the script is very unfriendly if you have more than one feed for a channel!

"!rss *" have to show the newst to topics of all sources and not only the least included feed

"!rss 12...x" have to show not the topics 12...x, but it must show feed source 1...x

[demond]

"have to", "must"? you are not entitled to anything from me dude

[d4rkm3n]

sorry for my language, but i dont know the right word
i want to say that the commands would be more useful if they act like i wrote it.

[demond]

well, I might consider implementing multiple feeds on the same channel, but until then (if that ever happens, chances of which are slim) all you can do is check out this entire thread for hints on how to emulate what you need

[demond]

people have spoken, so I decided to implement multiple feeds per channel; the new version will be released shortly, stay tuned

[demond]

vox populi, vox dei

now sporting multiple feeds on the same channel; please also note that the public command has been changed from !rss to !news

grab the brand new version 2.0
