Hi.
Many thanks for this script!
I would only want to ask one thing.
Having it working 100% i would like to ask for a feature, so it would only show X headlines of the rss feed, a value the user could change.
If possible it would be nice IMO.

Thanks for your great job.

yep, in the next version, thanks for testing

This doesn't allow for multiple feeds in the same channel to work, does it? I can't seem to get that to work, and for whatever reason I've never been able to figure out tcl to check for myself.

No it doesn't

I thought announcing news from multiple feeds on the same chan would only clutter the chan and confuse people

See your log, the script logs every feed fetching related error, you might get a clue what's wrong

My assumption was that the channel name was being used for a variable, and that the easy fix for that would be to name the feed in the script, which would then also prefix the rss info spit out by the eggy.. but that's just 100% speculation on my part, I'll investigate and see if I'm right when I'm more awake.

Thanks for the nice script.

version 1.2 is now available, with XML CDATA support and headline announcing limiter

please let me know if you find a RSS feed this script can't handle

It's working pretty well! Thanks.

Also, I know this has been addressed before, but I really do think more than one feed per channel will be good. I'm definitely all for it. Cheers!

well, maybe if more people request this I'll implement it

meanwhile, you can simulate multiple feeds announcements on a single channel by repeating the chan name in different character case (however, the !rss chan command will work on the original channel name only):

Code: Select all

set feeds(#yourchan) {11 http://foo.com/feed1.rss}
set feeds(#Yourchan) {17 http://bar.com/feed2.rss}

Hi again.
I would like to request for another feature (sorry if i'm asking too much) a limit in the !rss * output would be really nice, is that hard to code ?
Thanks for your time.

Greetz.

it's not hard at all, simply substitute:

Code: Select all

		foreach item $news($chan) {
			puthelp "notice $nick :($idx) [lindex $item 0]"
			incr idx
		}

with:

Code: Select all

		foreach item $news($chan) {
			puthelp "notice $nick :($idx) [lindex $item 0]"
			incr idx; if {$idx > 10} {break}
		}

where 10 is your limit

hey why nobody told me this thing didn't work with BBC's international feeds

it lacked handling of <title> and <description> tag attributes

fixed in 1.3

1.4 and most likely the last is here; added pub trigger flood protection

hi,
Could you add https support please?

demond · Post by **demond** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 12:08 am

I could, but you'd need to install the TLS package
