Eggdrop RSS Syndication (rss-synd) v0.5b1

[Reynaldo]

v0.4 Final has been release, you can find it in the tcl archive http://www.egghelp.org/tcl.htm

v0.5 is still work in progress, there are a few more things i would like to add and some things that really need fixing (ie: decent charset support) before I would consider releasing a final version.

hi scotteh,

i set the rss using more than 40 sites, but only a few of them can posted every it updated, any setting that i should do?

[wac]

Eh you were right was using 0.4 my bad I forgot that I was to lazy to upgrade because I would have had to added in all my feeds again to the other bot I switched some of them to.

Anyhow they (the feeds) really should be stored in some sort of flat file that can be saved in between upgrades of the core script, as such to avoid such situations, but hey whatever, if actually needed I guess I would do it myself, if I cbf to learn it anyways.

The next version uses an ini like file to store the settings.

awesome, keep up the good work!

Anyone got any cool formatting they wanna share? For outputting music releases
Currently using "\002@@item!title@@\002 - \[maketiny @@item!link@@\] \n (@@item!description@@)"
Pretty boring..

Edit: Also does anyone know how to make multiple trigger outputs for an rss? Right now my default "trigger-output" is set to 10.
But what if I would want to check !last5 !last10 !last20 for the same rss?

[luisx]

how i can do this:

rss announce every 30 minutes


Thank you

Read the file it explains everything, use your head.

Can someone show step-by-step on setting up URLS with TinyURL? Thank you!

"evaluate-tcl" 1
"output" "\\\[\002@@channel!title@@@@title@@\002\\\] @@entry!title@@ - \[maketiny @@entry!link@@\]"
---or---
"output" "\\\[\002@@channel!title@@@@title@@\002\\\] @@item!title@@ - \[maketiny @@item!link@@\]"

You need to set evaluate-tcl as 1. Then within output you must triple escape all []'s that are not commands (any used for formatting only must be triple escaped). Then escape the \[maketiny \] ones only once, it can work. Then you simply add this procedure to the bottom of the script.

Code: Select all

proc maketiny {url} {
   set ua "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5"
   set http [::http::config -useragent $ua]
   set token [http::geturl "http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?[http::formatQuery url $url]" -timeout 3000]
   upvar #0 $token state
   if {[string length $state(body)]} { return $state(body) }
   return $url
}

This does not seem to work anymore.

An example of my script;

Code: Select all

	set rss(Reuters) {
		"url"			"http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/topNews"
		"channels"		"#chan"
		"database"		"./scripts/feeds/reuters.db"
		"output"		"\\\[\002Reuters\002\\\] @@item!title@@ - \[maketiny @@entry!link@@\]"
		"trigger"		"!@@feedid@@"
		"evaluate-tcl"	1
                "announce-output" 1
	}

Seems tinyurl changed their php page, so I updated it;

Code: Select all

proc maketiny {url} { 
   set ua "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5" 
   set http [::http::config -useragent $ua] 
   set token [http::geturl "http://tinyurl.com/create.php?url=[http::formatQuery url $url]" -timeout 3000] 
   upvar #0 $token state 
   if {[string length $state(body)]} { return $state(body) } 
   return $url 
}

Using this code, chan output is like

\[Reuters\] More bodies found near Air France crash site - [maketiny ]

"http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?[http::formatQuery url $url]" 

Why did you change it? It works just fine you silly. Try using the correct url, which is the api (machine readable version) and not using the human website version..
... and maybe up the timeout to 5000 or even 10000 rather than the 3000 it's at. Your shell/bot might take that long to get delivered an http response.

[x0x]

Really strange, even with 10000 as timeout I get output like;

\[Reuters\] Crews find more bodies from Air France crash - [maketiny ]

I changed the output to 60000 but same result. Only then I noticed the output comes (almost) straight away each time. Maybe something else is wrong about the code?

Code: Select all

	set rss(Reuters) {
		"url"			"http://feeds.reuters.com/reuters/topNews"
		"channels"		"#chan"
		"database"		"./scripts/feeds/reuters.db"
                "output"      "\\\[\002Reuters\002\\\] @@item!title@@ - \[maketiny @@entry!link@@\]" 
		"trigger"		"!@@feedid@@"
		"evaluate-tcl"	1
                "announce-output" 1
	}

Hi folks,

A bit stumped on this error - it's probably something simple but I'm not quite sure what..

I'm running 0.5b1. Here's my config file:

Code: Select all

set rss(group-rss) {
		"url"			"http://groups.google.com/group/techno-babble/feed/atom_v1_0_msgs.xml"
		"channels"		"#technobabble"
		"database"		"/home/mybot/eggdrop/scripts/feeds/group-rss.db"
		"output"		"\\\[\002technobabble-mailing-list\002\\\] @@item!title@@ - \[string map { \"&from=rss\" \"\" } \"@@item!guid@@\"\]"
		"trigger"		"!@@feedid@@"
	}

The feed - http://groups.google.com/group/techno-b ... 0_msgs.xml does not require any authentication.

The feed DB exists in the same path:

Code: Select all

$ pwd
/home/mybot/eggdrop/scripts/feeds

Code: Select all

$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-r--r--  1 mybot  mybot  0 Jun 12 09:30 group-rss.db

But when I run the "trigger" command in channel:

Code: Select all

!group-rss

I get the following message:

Code: Select all

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

Any ideas/suggestions on how to fix this?

[avggeek]

Hm now even odder.. After a little while, the bot announced some new items to the channel on the above feed. The only problem being the output looked like this:

[17:45] <+mybot> \[technobabble-mailing-list\] - [string map { "&from=rss" "" } ""]
[17:45] <+mybot> \[technobabble-mailing-list\] - [string map { "&from=rss" "" } ""]
[17:45] <+mybot> \[technobabble-mailing-list\] - [string map { "&from=rss" "" } ""]

So I tried changing the config to:

set rss(group-rss) {
"url" "http://groups.google.com/group/techno-b ... 0_msgs.xml"
"channels" "#technobabble"
"database" "/home/tbops/eggdrop/scripts/feeds/group-rss.db"
"output" "\\\[\002technobabble-mailing-list\002\\\] @@item!title@@ - @@item!guid@@"
"trigger" "!@@feedid@@"
}

Now the trigger command results in the following:

[17:50] <+mybot> \[technobabble-mailing-list\] -
[17:50] <+mybot> \[technobabble-mailing-list\] -
[17:50] <+mybot> \[technobabble-mailing-list\] -

do you have evaluate tcl on for that feed? evaluate-tcl 1

[avggeek]

do you have evaluate tcl on for that feed? evaluate-tcl 1

Hi wac,

I just checked my script and I don't have evaluate-tcl switched on for this feed. In addition, I have this in my default settings:

set default {
<snip>
"max-depth" 5
"evaluate-tcl" 0
"update-interval" 30
<snip>
}

I'd turn it on for that feed and see how that goes and/or delete the file that holds the info for the feed looks like you call it group-rss.db report back if that works or not (or errors as the case may be)
