================================================================================
INSTALL
================================================================================

1. Copy rss-synd.tcl and rss-synd-settings.tcl to your scripts directory.
2. Add "source scripts/rss-synd.tcl" to your eggdrop.conf file.
Are you doing it this way? You aren't sourcing both rss-synd and it's settings are you?!

I checked that, and it's as it should be as per the instructions. I think I might have found the problem.

For some reason there were two instances of rss-synd-settings.tcl (yes, same file name for both) uploaded to the shell. One is the generic version and the other is the one I added my RSS links to.

I removed the generic and immediately the bot started posting this to the channel:
[$cookie_val(1)] $cookie_val(3) - $cookie_val(5)
I rehashed the bot and it seems to be working fine now as it posts the RSS feeds to the channel.

Weird.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

With tcl 8.6, it appears that the script is not working at all. I found this online:
https://github.com/hm2k/rss-synd/issues/9

I see that there is a different version of tcl available http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/8.6b3/ but I am unsure if I should install that one, or if there is a patch for rss-synd...

Code: Select all

RSS Error: Unable to decompress "http://url.to.rss.feed/": Trf package not found.

Too long to edit that post...

Followed the steps here http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php? ... &start=353

and updated the output for reddit to

Code: Select all

"output"   "\\\[\002/r/\[lindex \[split @@item!link@@ /\] 4\]\002\\\]  @@item!title@@ - \[if \{\[string length \[set a \[lindex \[split \[lindex \[regexp -inline {(http://(?:i.imgur|imgur|www.imgur).*?$)} \"@@item!description@@\"\] 0\] \\\"\] 0\]\]\]\} \{set a\} else \{set a \[reddit @@item!link@@\]\}\]"

Is it possible to have multiple triggers?

eg: Instead of just !engadget, you could have !engadget and !technews both pull from the same db file?

Is there a limit to the number of feeds it can work through? I have added a few that just don't seem to update anymore...

RSS-Synd Plugin - Request for Improvement

Post by user18765 »

Hi. I'd like to tell you about some features that I'd like to have on the program, and also report a little problem that's driving me mad. It Happens whenever I enable gzip compression.

eggdrop vers. ===> 1.6.21 (installed from AUR)
TCL version ===> 8.5.13 (installed from AUR)
tcl-TRF vers. ===> tcltrf 2.1.4 (installed from AUR)

PROBLEM:

Code: Select all

[03:02:01] RSS HTTP Error: http://etc.etc.etc.feedlink.rss (State: {invalid command name "zlib"} {invalid command name "zlib"
    while executing
"zlib inflate [string range $data $pos end-8]"
    (procedure "Gunzip" line 42)
    invoked from within
"Gunzip $state(body)"} NONE)
I think this actually means there's no zlib in my system (arch-linux).
BUT that's NOT the case. I actually have zlib installed - from repositories. Then I thought that, perhaps, the TCL-zlib could be another different thing than the 'zlib' itself. So I tried to install 'tcllib', that contains a zlib library, but nothing changed, no success.
Then I thought: «well that's strange, I also have TCL-TRF that is actually working great and being used by other scripts, and...usually it is used as an alternative to zlib for compression tasks, so: why isn't the program trying to use it instead of stopping with zlib errors?»

I ended up talking with an expert TCL guy... he told me that he couldn't help me much without having access to a more detailed log, and, considering that eggdrop is well-known for its log-suppression policies, I should have ran the script from the shell to get such information. Thing that I cannot to do, because I would need to emulate an eggdrop request to the script, knowing almost nothing about tcl.

ADD: I found out that the package "zlib" is not present in tcl versions < 8.6
This means that there are 2 possible solutions: install tcl8.6 which has zlib integrated, or separately compile and install zlib. I tried both. 1)With tcl8.6 I had a NEW error about "Invalid Block Lenght" or something like that. 2)Separately compiling and installing zlib keeping my actual tcl version gives a NEW error, too. Here it is:

Code: Select all

RSS HTTP Error: http://feeds.etcetcetcetc (State: {invalid data: checksum mismatch -1794500591 != 3910586362} {invalid data: checksum mismatch -1794500591 != 3910586362
    while executing
"Gunzip $state(body)"} NONE)
So.. my help request is all about these last things: XOR how to get a more detailed log, XOR how to fix the problem if you already know how.

Then we come to the proposals: :D :D
________________________________________________________________

1 - It would be nice to group some feeds with a 2nd trigger (or why not, Nth trigger).
I try to explain why: When a guy comes to the channel and wants to know the news from MORE than one source, it would be nice if a "father-trigger" such as !news could call every feed that is in a preselected group. Instead of the user individually calling every feed with its own trigger.

2 - I like to keep my channel clean. For this reason I set the "announce-output" option to '1'. That works great for the feeds that are updated often and with individual entries. But that's not the case for MANY feeds, which, for example, get updated at a precise time of the day, with a whole bunch of entries (20~ on average): in these cases, my channel loses the 90% of the feeds on the automatic-output. What I am trying to propose is a new feature to regulate the whole output the way OWNER wants. This means adding 2 options (the 2nd consequent to the other - has no meaning without the 1st being enabled): the first is **avoid leaving anything not posted automatically** : The second is **Choose the time-interval you want to leave between every single auto-posting for the feeds that haven't been posted yet**. I hope my point is clear enough.

If you managed to read until this point, I must absolutely thank you for your attention :D
I wish all you guys a happy new year!

Byee ;)

tinyurl

Post by PR0r »

Anyone here using tinyurl or similar shortlinks able to get google rss links displaying in full?

Code: Select all

set rss(news) {
		"url"			"http://news.google.com/?output=rss"
		"channels"		"#cloud9"
		"database"		"./scripts/feeds/gnews-rss.db"
		"output"      		"\\\[\002feed\002\\\] @@item!title@@ - \[tinyurl @@item!link@@\]"

Code: Select all

proc ::rss-synd::tinyurl {url} {
  set tinyurl "http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php";
  set query [::http::formatQuery "url" $url];  
  set token [::http::geturl "$tinyurl?$query" -timeout 5000]; 
  set url [::http::data $token]; 
  ::http::cleanup $token; 
  return $url; 
}
When clicking on the tiny URL link, all google news links return this:
The tinyurl link should be:
Anyone have any ideas?

When i try to get a https feed i get this error message when i load the bot:

RSS Error: Unable to find tls package required for https, unloaded feed "log".

I already tried to install a tls package with no luck, possibly I'm not putting it in the right place in Windrop, can someone advise?


Edit:

So I managed to install tls 1.6 and http 2.7.5.

now I get a (State: Error) from rss-synd

When I do a trigger on one of the feeds I get old data, so nothing new is coming through

RSS Feed i'm tying to grab data from - https://predb.me/?cats=games-playstation&rss=1

Any advice?

Try changing the line saying

Code: Select all

::http::register https 443 ::tls::socket
to

Code: Select all

::http::register https 443 [list ::tls::socket -request 1 -require 0 -ssl3 1 -tls1 1]
