Ok, I stuck this script on my eggdrop and when I rehashed it said I needed TCL 8.4 or higher to work, so I've installed TCL 8.4 now and rehashed/restarted the bot, and it still says the same.

rebuild eggdrop, using your local Tcl installation (--with-tcllib and --with-tclinc options of configure)

you better use RSS script that is supported here (do a forum search); perplexa is not on these forums and his/her script is not supported here

Thanks for the help. Are they any you can recommend to me which don't requre me either a) having root; or b) having to install countless packages. All I need it to do is let me input a url to an RSS feed and have it post the latest news to a channel whenever the feed is updated.

I believe my script will do the job for you

Ok, thanks.

I've got it going now, except it doesn't seem to be pulling the RSS feed.

I have this in the config:

what does the bot's log say? any error messages?

well, there you go... your bot can't connect to your website within 20 seconds (default timeout) after initiating connection attempt

try to increase that timeout

I've put it to 300 seconds now. I set up a test feed from the BBC news RSS and it works ok, except for spamming the title and then 30 headlines when I've set the variable maxnew to 3.

It's obviously the website I was originally trying which was causing the problems.

Edit: it works Very Happy

the maxnew parameter is relevant to announcements of new headlines only, not to requests for all stored (!rss *)

please use script's dedicated support thread if you need more help with it
