Hi wac,

Here's my new config for the feed:

set rss(group-rss) {
"url" "http://groups.google.com/group/techno-b ... 0_msgs.xml"
"channels" "#technobabble"
"database" "/home/mybot/eggdrop/scripts/feeds/group-rss.db"
"output" "\\\[\002technobabble-mailing-list\002\\\] @@item!title@@ - @@item!guid@@"
"trigger" "!@@feedid@@"
"evaluate-tcl" 1
}
I deleted the group-rss.db file and restarted the bot. When I run the "!group-rss" command I get the same error:

RSS Error: Invalid feed database file format (/home/mybot/eggdrop/scripts/feeds/group-rss.db)!

Today is your lucky day! I just changed the feed to be the rss feed instead of the atom feed, they look exactly the same, except the rss one works

Heres your updated code. Have fun! Oh and deleted the old db one more time so it updates with the good info.

Code: Select all

set rss(group-rss) {
"url" "http://groups.google.com/group/techno-babble/feed/rss_v2_0_msgs.xml"
"channels" "#technobabble"
"database" "/home/mybot/eggdrop/scripts/feeds/group-rss.db"
"output" "\[\002technobabble-mailing-list\002\] @@item!title@@ - @@item!guid@@"
"trigger" "!@@feedid@@"
}

That worked beautifully - thank you for the help!

Hello,
I'am having the problem that the script doesn't do anything.

party-line says:

(Piratenschiff> [02:44] RSS Syndication Script v0.5b1 (2007-12-17): Loaded.
<(Piratenschiff> [02:44] Userfile loaded, unpacking...

The config is default (using the milw0rm rss).

When I try the trigger, nothing happens. no error. no output.

Oh and btw is this rss feed possible?

You did something wrong obviously and now your going to look a tab bit stupid. Did you setup the channel? Did you setup where the database goes? (full directory helps) And are you sure you are doing the correct trigger? Try a rehash and/or restart?

I don't see why you couldn't make a spot for that feed, that is assuming you can correctly set it up, kinda doubtful seeing as you can't even get the default one going.

Good luck.

Hey... You make me looking stupid.

I set up everything because before that I had errors (Database not found, because of the Path).

So I modified the path and there we go:

No errors.
Sou you tell me to rehash but I told you what party-line says so... wtf?

I commented out the default config an made a new one, and you know what? it works.

But thanks for your... help

And for the feed I provided:

RSS Error: Unable to parse URL, Invalid format for feed "mytest".

the xml is embedded in the index.php.

is there a way to have the topic change when a new feed is announced in the channel?

I didn't make you, you do that all by yourself.

Just cause you post what the party line says, means [censored], the reason I said to it sometimes thats as easy as it is, it's a very easy thing to overlook, so you being an ass to someone attempting to help you because you can't figure it out isnt very nice.

That feed works just fine as I knew it would, I tested it to prove you wrong...

Code: Select all

So anyways, be nice next time and maybe I'll post how to make the feed work for you.

You basically told me that I'm to stupid using the default config. That's being an ass to me, too.
Besides that my config worked for milw0rm.
Oh and just to poke a little bit more:
Your quote proofs ****.

now please be that nice and help me with the Rss feed.

I tried almost every Url combination but it doesn't like my feed at all.

Nothing wrong with using the default config, none at all, I was saying you were 'stupid' not to get it working right by reading what the config says to do, as in setting it up properly.

I guess I'll help you get it right if you post what your config for that feed is, and can point out what you did wrong.

set rss(mytest) {
"url" "http://piratenpartei-niedersachsen.de/r ... /index.php"
"channels" "#Piratenpartei-Niedersachsen"
"database" "/home/eggdrops/scripts/test2.db"
"trigger" "!arrr"

Simple enough, you can't have a dash in your channel name, or any special character for that matter. Sorry.

But the Output of Milw0rm works fine..

So the problem is:

RSS Error: Unable to parse URL, Invalid format for feed "mytest".

It works fine on the same channel? The feed worked fine for me, try in a channel without a dash to see I'm right, otherwise something else is wonky in your script. It's usually the special chars throw it for a loop.

Other channel, other problems

RSS Error: Invalid feed database file format (/home/eggdrops/scripts/test2.db)!

I recreated the db file (rm test2.db -> touch test2.db)

that is what my config looks like:

set rss(mytest) {
"url" "http://piratenpartei-niedersachsen.de/r ... /index.php"
"channels" "#mybottest123"
"database" "/home/eggdrops/scripts/test2.db"
"trigger" "!arrr"
}
