What need for put the URLs in public ?

[Zerg]

[demond]

stalix, add ($link) to this line: puthelp "privmsg $chan $idx) $title"

Zerg, try typing !news on a channel you have joined by typing its name exactly as specified in script's feeds array

I have released a new version 2.2; it's all but certain that would be the last one, I'm fed up with this

new stuff:

• HTTP redirect support
  
• partyline command .rss to manage feeds (add/del/list)
  
• the script now does not require TclLib for feeds needing authorization
  
• I decided against implementing utf-8 support as it's being transformed to the default iso8859-1 encoding anyway... or not, in the case of Japanese, Chinese and other non-european languages, but whoever needs to use such feeds should upgrade to mIRC 6.2 which supports utf-8

to see new i must type on channel !news <feed name> [news index #] ex: !news google 1 to seen no 1 google news.

can script change to show only 1st news but automatic, without any one type !news

Hello there Demon and MANY thanks for your nice rss script announcer. It's the best I've found yet on the net. I've modified the script so it will report the link directly into channel, and I also increased the timeout a little.

Feature requests:
- Check if link or headline is dupe. I have some feeds that report the same link (e.g. a news service have both local and global news. I do not want it to spam the same link twice). The same if headline is same. I know this would probably also disable that the script detects changes in a link, but I don't care about that, and I know many others also agree. So maybe there should be an option for using link as unique check?

- Report how old the news is (if date is found) in a style where it says how old it is. E.g. 20min or 1h20min etc. As a start it would be enough for me that dc:date was just echoed without processing. "2006-11-08T07:43:03+01:0" would be fine. I would really like to also filter on "do not post news older than 1 hour" or similar.

- Better stripping spaces from $title. It seem like I get a lot of $title containing " Headline" e.g. from http://pub.tv2.no/nettavisen/ut/rss/nettavisen.xml

- Can I have feed name in [] like e.g. if feedname is CNN then the bot sends [CNN] <text>

[demond]

the thing with the date is that its tag could be something other than <dc:date>, for example <pubDate>; also, its format is not specified, therefore it can't be interpreted as number and you need such interpretation in order to be able to compare dates and time intervals

hashing by URL and not title is of course possible, as is fixing of the other small glitches you talk about; unfortunately, as I said above, I'm fed up with eggdrop scripting and it's highly unlikely I'll ever update this script

is there anyway to limit the number of headlines it spits out when you do !news feed.. im getting 40 lines on some feeds. Thanks

-cytralskunk

[demond]

no, but you can easily code that yourself, by adding a counter variable inside the [foreach] loop in proc [news]
