Would it be hard to pull the info on the spy.php page and place it in a widget for the cms page?

Installed this mod and all I get is a blank page. No posts show on it :( vB 4.0.6

Can anyone offer any advice please?

make sure you have a SPY template

Hiya,

Yip, just checked, I have 'spy.css' and 'SPY' template.

Any ideas?

maybe a stupid question, I am looking for a mod like this for version 3.8 ... Anyone?

Shawn,

Any chance I could get you to add a hook so that 3rd party add-ons can add events to the $what array? :)

Short of adding new hard-coded event IDs in the array, I'm thinking if there were at least a hook location available for us to use then I could add new events using some really high range (eg: 9000+) for 3rd party add-on events to be recorded. There might still be a chance that multiple 3rd party add-ons might decide to use the same range but at least it'd be a start so that we can get other events in there.

Will you be including this as a feature? I'd like to prevent certain usergroups using it.

<a href="http://www.ww2f.com/spy.php" target="_blank">http://www.ww2f.com/spy.php</a> No posts seem to show up. Yes I have a "SPY" template and spy.css. Yes the forum is busy enough to display posts.

Also is there a control panel section for this? Most mods have a:
Settings >>> Options >>> DP Spy area. I take it this mod is simply installed or off?

Do you have anything showing up in the digitalpoint_spy table?

Not sure, how do I check this?

**Edit**
I just found this in my repair/optimize table in the admincp, looks like there is data there:
Table - Data Length - Index Length - Overhead
digitalpoint_spy - 594 Bytes - 3.0 KB - 0

thanks super

Iam getting this error :(

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{', expecting ')' in /home/mo606/public_html/board/includes/class_core.php(4010) : eval()'d code on line 32

any ideas what could cause this?

There is a vBulletin bug that was fixed in 4.0.3 that causes errors in template parsing, so I assume you are using something older than 4.0.3?

Any feedback here?

Would still need to know if you have any records in the table or not...

As I posted there is data in the table, do you need to see specific records?

No, just would need to know how many records. Also, what version of vBulletin are you using?

vB version 4.08 pl2, I'll pull the # or records when I get a minute.

As this one is Supported I'd like to use this Mod but how this one is set up looks wise I'm still using it:

This Mod shows the day and time of the post/thread where this Mod does not.
Hope you can add such features to this one soon.

Is this working with Blog entries ?

Hi Shawn, I've been using this mod in my forums for several months now, and many members have been reporting intermittent outages with the page. It isn't browser or location specific, but has been happening quite a lot, and I've been really struggling to isolate the cause. To make matters worse, I've almost never been able to see this happening at my end (but am 100% sure it is happening to lots of other members).

The page still loads (and the rest of the site works fine), but the latest events will appear empty and nothing scrolls. Even when they refresh, nothing appears until perhaps several hours later. No particular event/post is known to trigger this, and the digitalpoint_spy table is fully populated and is getting updated correctly. The server load is also never very high. I suspect that this could be happening on other sites as well, but my site members just use the page so heavily that they notice the 5-10% of the time that it is happening.

getXML/processXML/push aren't working under certain conditions. Could it have to do with their function timings? Any ideas? Here's some of the customized timings:

var fadetime = .25;
var pushtime = 300;
var fadetime_end = 1.5;
var pushtime_end = 4000

Any help here would be greatly appreciated...

No, blog entries lack the hooks necessary to make it work for them. Plus, how often would you really see a new blog entry stream by compared to a new post?

Would be a little difficult to debug if you don't see it happening and I can't see it happening. Can you get one of them to take a screenshot or something when it happens? Maybe some error with the one of the text interfering with the XML transport or something. I've been meaning to move it over to just use the internal vB_XML_Builder class, which should solve any issues with the AJAX crapping out if strange characters somehow made their way into it.

Installed and working on vB4.0.7

Works. About a minute delay, but it will serve it's purpose. Thanks!

thanks install super man

I have posted here previously about the problem I had with this script.
But I did not get much response.

I will try again...

I get the same BLANK page. Nothing is showing. I have the SPY template and SPY.CSS.

I have just checked my database via phpmyadmin and I can't see the digitalpoint_spy table.

It would be listed down the left side panel in phpmyadmin with the long list?

you might have installed wrong or are pointing to the wrong url , or maybe you installed it but forgot to enable it in the admincp?

mine is http://www.digitalbrass.com/spy.php and as you can see it works fine... maybe you are seeing a blank page because there is no activity on your forum? either that or you are pointing to the wrong URL to view it.

There is activity on my forum and I am viewing the correct URL.

thanks

So a few things dp:

Will you be making any changes to this Mod?
Adding the option to choose only certain user groups to be able to use this?
Adding 'Times' on the Posts and Threads which show on the spy page?

This one is the main thing I'd like to include, I have looked around in the spy.php file but don't know how to add or edit to do this:
Adding 'Times/Dates' on the Posts and Threads which show on the spy page.

I found this in the spy.php:
I tried to add time/date but as i am not a coder i really did not know what i was doing and it did not work.
Anyone could give a heads up for what code and where to add it so it will show the date and time on the spy page.
Thanks.

Not really sure what the real value in the date/time is to be honest. If your board is busy, they would just all be streaming through with the current time and they would mostly all be the same. If your board is inactive, it would make your board appear very inactive since you could see the huge gaps in time between anything happening...

Nice will this work for vb 3.8?

be nice if it actually worked at all for me. vb 4.x

Hi Shawn,

spy worked in 4.08, but shows thread titles with german umlauts as "unknown" and display not the first message line, if there are umlauts.

Nope, it's 4.x only.

But seems pretty limited to what it will work on.
I have a fresh install of vb 4.0.6 pl 1 as a test board. I've disabled the few mods I had on there.
and also that will not work.

I dunno what the problem is but the point of on my main board and there been other mods possibly causing a conflict can't be the case.

It's a strange one... offered to allow the Coder access to my test board but that was declined.
So it seems support it quite limited then unfortunately. Shame because I've seen other people comment on this issue as well.

I have a 4.1 vb and it doesn't work for me either. I have a stock install and it baffles me why it isn't working, but I certainly don't think support actually means he will provide tech support for my board. :) Most mods work for most people, but 100% compatibility is beyond most coders. It doesn't work for me, and I can live with that. :)

I understand this. But if were saying that specific board installs are not working and there is nothing to cause this. Surely, it deserves a closer look?

I'd even throw a couple of quid in the pot for the coders time. How on earth do we progress with this?
