It's possible, worth putting on the issue tracker as a suggestion. http://code.google.com/p/rss-synd/issues/list

awesome script!
but it dosent auto announce, or it does but 5-10 hours to late:/

“update-interval” 2
“timeout” 60000

That update interval is fairly low. Make sure you're not getting banned for hammering. Try wgetting the feed while it's not announcing and check the output.

If a RSS Text is longer then IRC Status allow it, the Text wont be postet. Is it possible to split longer Text?

Got mine working now
Is it possible to get the Time Data changed.
Right now its 2010-11-22T19:11:33+01:00

I would like to get it in this way
Date: 22.11.10 - Time: 19:11:33

+1

...and it would also be nice to have an "offset" option because the time in source code of rss feed differs from the time I use in the channel for example. So

Wed, 09 Mar 2011 16:31:16 +0000

should be

Wed, 09 Mar 2011 17:31:16 +0000

for example.

Hi... I need some help because i can't make your tcl run on my bot...

I have your tcl like this:

Code: Select all

 # Start of Settings
    #

    namespace eval ::rss-synd {
        variable rss
        variable default

        set rss(OJogo) {
            "url"            "http://www.ojogo.pt/rss/Noticias.rss"
            "channels"        "#Anti-SexAppeal"
            "database"        "./scripts/feeds/ojogo.db"
            "output"        "\\\[\002OJogo\002\\\] @@item!title@@ (@@item!slash:section@@) - \[string map { \"&from=rss\" \"\" } \"@@item!feedburner:origLink@@\"\]"
            "trigger"        "!@@feedid@@"
            "evaluate-tcl"    1
        }

And:

Code: Select all

 set default {
            "announce-output"    3
            "trigger-output"    3
            "remove-empty"        1
            "trigger-type"        0:2www
            "announce-type"        0
            "max-depth"            5
            "evaluate-tcl"        0
            "update-interval"    30
            "output-order"        0
            "timeout"            60000
            "channels"            "#Anti-SexAppeal"
            "trigger"            "!rss @@feedid@@"
            "output"            "\[\002@@channel!title@@@@title@@\002\] @@item!title@@@@entry!title@@ - @@item!link@@@@entry!link!=href@@"
            "user-agent"        "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11"
        }
    }

    #
    # End of Settings

And when i trigger the script with the command "!OJogo" it returns the following error:

[20:48] RSS Warning: couldn't open "./scripts/feeds/ojogo.db": permission denied.

The folder ./script/feeds is created and i set it's permitions to 666 with the command chmod 666 /scripts/feeds

What am i missing?

And the trigger to activate the script is !feedname or !rss feedname?

And the link to your website doesn't work...

Cheers

Edit;

Well, i decided to put in the tcl the complete path to the feed folder and i also created the file ojogo.db.

Now when i do .save and .rehash the following error comes up:

RSS Error: Invalid 'trigger-type' syntax for feed "OJogo".

Can you help me???

You don't need to create both folders and files, script(bot) will do it itself

"trigger-type" 0:2www

^ remove obvious error - "www"

So the script doesnt seem to auto announce for me.. Here are my settings:
Code: Select all
*snip*

Also, whats with this:

[code]
[05:34] RSS Warning: couldn't open "bbc.db": no such file or directory.
[05:34] RSS Warning: couldn't open "wired.db": no such file or directory.
[05:34] RSS Warning: couldn't open "deb.db": no such file or directory.
I've tried just to do, 'touch filename.db' to no avail, gives out a different error saying its not a proper file:
Code: Select all
[05:23] RSS Error: Invalid feed database file format (googleusa.db)!
This script should be able to create these files automatically if they do not exist, I do not understand what the problem is.

Most concerning though, is that the feed is not being announced in the channel -- Some are, some aren't. Its rather annoying, to be honest.

I'm having the same problem. Been using this script for the last year without issue, now, all of a sudden, the bot is no longer updating the channel for certain feeds.

The two feeds affected are both wordpress feeds, but their links work fine if you open them up in a browser. I never changed anything when this suddenly stopped working.

I tried removing the database and reloading the bot, now it just keeps saying:
"RSS Warning couldn't open "./scripts/feeds/blog.db": no such file or directory"

And the bot won't re-create it. Can't figure out why this is happening, nor how to track down the issue. Bot doesn't give me any other information, I'm not even sure if its even going out and grabbing the feed or not.

One more problem.
I have added a Feed from my forum.. works all fine so far.. but if any types the trigger he always get the oldest news at first.
It would be nice if the script would output the newest RSS entries at first

Question please.

I am using this xml for the feed I want.
http://store.steampowered.com/feeds/news.xml

Code: Select all

# This is an example of a basic feed, If you dont understand why all
	#   the \'s are in the examples below use this one as a template.
	set rss(steam) {
		"url"			"http://store.steampowered.com/feeds/news.xml"
		"channels"		"#TribbleBBQ"
		"database"		"./scripts/steamnews.db"
		"output"		"[Steam News] @@item!title@@ - @@item!guid@@"
		"trigger"		"!steam"
	}

Is the code I use, which it does auto post the new feeds into the room just fine. (Tho it took a lil time to update and then work I guess) But the question is, I wanna add the ability for it to show the link to the news it gave too. Thing is, I have tried things like adding @@entry!link!=href@@ or @@item!link@@ to it, but then when I try to run it, it gives me an invalid format in the db. So am I doing something wrong? Or is it a bug?

Also I saw someone elses code where it makes a tiny url for it. How did that work? Would be cool. =)
