Is it possible to insert a quote at the end of each post?

The quote will be randomly selected within the code in the template.

How to add this to the template?

Why the hell (?>$[^$]*\))|\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b
would erase everything???? That is a legal egex command to block anything within ( ) and any email... but if I put this into this hack it wipes everything...

any idea why that is?

You can get articlebot working with vb 3.50 easily.

Make sure you still have the template. "articlebot_post" If not then create it.

PHP Code:


		
			
$article[description]

$article[link]

Next open articlebot.php with your favorite editor. Change every instance of:

$DB_site-> with $db->
$vboptions[ with $vbulletin->options[

Do the same in admincp/articlebot_admin.php but also replace globalize( with $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc(

At this point, your article bot should function again.

Now just copy this and save it as cpnav_articlebot.xml and upload it into includes/xml directory. Then you will have your admin options again.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<navgroups product="vbulletin">
    <navgroup text="Article Bots" hr="true">
        <navoption>
            <text>Manage Article Bots</text>
            <link>articlebot_admin.php</link>
        </navoption>
        <navoption>
            <text>Add Article Bot</text>
            <link>articlebot_admin.php?do=add</link>
        </navoption>
        <navoption>
            <text>Add RSS to Article Bot</text>
            <link>articlebot_admin.php?do=addrss</link>
        </navoption>
    </navgroup>
</navgroups>

My articles are being written correctly and the admin seems to function. Milage may vary. Enjoy

Also in articlebot_admin.php arround line 192. Replace

PHP Code:


		
			
    print_forum_chooser(

        'forumid', 0, 0,

        '<b>Forum</b><br />The forum this RSS will be posted in.<br />

        <span class="smallfont"><i><u>Note</u>: the article bot will post in any forum, even if it lacks permission<br />

        to do so, if the forum is closed, or if the forum acts as a category.<br />

        Therefore, choose the forum accordingly.</i></span>', 0, 0, 0

    );

With this

PHP Code:


		
			
    print_forum_chooser(

        '<b>Forum</b><br />The forum this RSS will be posted in.<br /><span class="smallfont"><i><u>Note</u>: the article bot will post in any forum, even if it lacks permission<br />to do so, if the forum is closed, or if the forum acts as a category.<br />Therefore, choose the forum accordingly.</i></span>',

        'forumid', 0, 0, 0, 0

    );

Well, the above updates will make your existing feeds work. In order to add new ones articlebot_admin.php will need to be reworked.

EDIT: Got it working. It moves threads with replies over to a discussion forum, and it also strips out threads with ADV: in the title as trash and puts them into a Trash forum, hidden from the public, for later review and deletion.

will you be releasing this or its private? Thanks.

Here's a link to the code:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92542

Since that post I added another clause to take care of the ADV posts:

Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET forumid = 22 WHERE forumid = 17 AND title LIKE '%ADV:%'");

Just find this in articlebot.php

PHP Code:


		
			
$thread_id = $db->insert_id();

And insert below.

PHP Code:


		
			
$article['description'] = str_replace('&amp;', '&', $article['description']);

That should fix it. There are posts earlier in this thread that help deal with these isssues.

Are you using the username or the userid? You are supposed to be using the userid.

Also you are supposed to create the account that the bot is going to use as well.

If someone wants a demo of what this thing is supposed to do, check out this link: Link to news section of my forum

Within the admincp, I can selectively move threads from my news forum to a discussion forum if they have > zero replies.

Here's what I need: What I want is help creating a script that will automatically do this every hour or so. Has anyone created an auto-move script before, or I should I start parsing through how the admincp component works? Thanks for any assistance one can provide...

Any chance you can share with us HOW you did the stripping out the postbot's user ID in new post searches??

A lot of people have been asking how to do this.

12-04-2005 04:20 PM

You need to add two lines to the search.php file. Find this query:

Code:

$posts = $DB_site->query("

SELECT postid

FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post

INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread ON (thread.threadid = post.threadid)

WHERE forumid IN(" . implode(', ', $forumids) . ")

AND thread.lastpost >= $datecut

AND thread.visible = 1

AND sticky IN (0,1)

AND post.dateline >= $datecut

AND post.visible = 1

ORDER BY post.dateline DESC

LIMIT " . intval($vboptions['maxresults']) . "

");

Within those AND statements, add one more that says:

Code:

AND thread.postuserid != 1234

Where 1234 is the userID of the bot that you're trying to exclude. Do the same thing to the following query right below:

Code:

$threads = $DB_site->query("

SELECT threadid

FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread

WHERE forumid IN(" . implode(', ', $forumids) . ")

AND thread.lastpost >= $datecut

AND visible = 1

AND sticky IN (0,1)

ORDER BY lastpost DESC

LIMIT " . intval($vboptions['maxresults']) . "

Hello guys,

I've installed this hack many, many months ago but have not successfully ran the program.
I initially installed the Article Bot so that the bot can automatically post the Google Alerts that I get from the e-mails. Thus, it would save me time since I still manually post the google alerts myself.

Do you know how you can have this Article Bot post the Google Alerts to the specific thread?
The Article Bot hack is currently installed.

I appreciate your time! :)

Hi XrayHead, could you tell me more on how and what to do with the XML link?
All external RSS are enabled.

XrayHead

12-23-2005 09:04 AM

First add an article bot........
Seccond Add RSS to Article Bot (add the XML link I gave you)

You should end up with something like I have configured for mine.

All the rest of the info is in the readme...........

I have searched and searched but cannot find a fix.

How do I get articlebot to stop posting duplicate and triplicate posts? I am posting my affiliate management clients RSS feeds to their forum.

They and the readers get upset when they see posts for 4th of July coupons that have long ago expired show up in November or back to school sales in Dec.

I had 3 article bots. One was posting tons of dups, one was good for awhile then started dups. The 3rd I thought was fine and then it finally started dups. It was not the feeds and does not seem to be the cron job since they didn't all start at the same time. I can't figure out the rhyme or reason. Was there a fix or upgrade for this?

If the answer is NO - then what other hack is there that works good without any dups? Anyone that can install or get something working for me? I'm not very technical.

Thanks Linda

Okay, I am PISSED :)

The idea of this mod is really great and I really would love to use it but whatever I did I couldn;t make it run. I can assure you all that everything, I mean installation etc, has been done the way it has to be done. The bot is still not making any posts though. How come?
I went trough the entire thread and still there's no solution to similiar posts as mine.

Any ideas?

P.S. For reasons I cannot upgrade to 3.5.x At the moment I use 3.0.8
