Keyword Notification System 1.0
 

Wowee, i always wanted one of these too. I can't believe someone actually released one. I'm the luckiest. No, you're not really reading this. This is your subconcious talking...

Ok seriously now. you're like what's that? it's a KNS... Keyword Notification System. Ok imagine it like this.

EPISODE 1: Billy is a good kid, Billy is down with the times and Billy's family is proud of Billy because Billy is on the computer instead of being out doing bad knows what.

Billy has however replaced hard drugs and alcohol with an internet forum addiction and every day refreshes forums a lot just wasting bandwidth as Billy waits for his news on his favourite music groups, sometimes Billy gets lucky but ultimately Billy just wastes bandwidth. This used to be cool for webmasters because of all the page impressions on the ads, However Billy is part of the evil Ad Blocker Crew and so just wastes the bandwidth with no upside.

Then one day, just as the admin of the forum was about to hunt down Billy and still the lazer from Billys mouse, he found KNS. KNS totally transformed his life, The evil info leecher named Billy wouldn't just refresh the same forum because Billy got emails when what Billy wanted was released and Billy found time to go outside and actually talk on the forums in-between bandwidth wasting. KNS saves lives.

EPISODE 2: <Imagine the Billy story but with Billy named Tony and movie news instead of music news.>... KNS totally transformed his life, The evil info leecher named Tony wouldn't just refresh the same forum because Tony got emails when what Tony wanted was released and Billy found time to go outside and actually talk on the forums in-between bandwidth wasting. KNS saves lives.

OMG, where on earth do i get one of these KNS's? I bet it looks like a lazer. That's what you're thinking right? Well yes. If a lazer looks like a zip file and you can download it from here. It looks exactly like a lazer.

OK then. Now we got that covered. We're totally Coolio and the fat dude he sang with at the height of his career thanks to a film that not a lot of people watched. I hear he now performs in Brighton.

Actual hack info now:
Adds two new screens. One for adding/removing keywords and one for a top keyword list.

and that's about it. questions on a postcard. or even in this thread. As per usual donations greatly appreciated. And i'll catch you later :)

CHANGELOG

1.0.1
------------------------------------------
change: bug in execution code meant that only users with permission to set keywords could make posts which were picked up by the KNS. now any user can make a post which KNS will pick up. [forums/plugins/kns/hook_newthread_post_complete.php]

Something 2

Something 3.

Nice work sabe. Must admit the first post confused me much. :D

There is one for vB 3.5 already released, I am not sure if you have seen it - it works differently than yours though - I'm not bashing it. :)

IIRC it didn't have the front end, which is a nice idea.

Keep hacking. :)

Doh! should've looked. And there was me thinking it was a totally amazing brand new idea. Thanks for the support though :)

Could we get a more...normal description of what this does?

what does this do?

I didn't get it...

I get it - great idea. Basically it sends a notice to anyone who subscribes to a keyword when a new post containing that keyword is posted to the forum.

I liked the description - I love the way sabe describes his hacks - he has a talent and flair for words - thanks again.

haha! Crazy description - Possibly there's a JPiC Membership in your future :D
Thanx for the sharing...

JAcquii.

Poor Billy.

Thanks for your work.

A bunch of my forums use Abe1's Form Hack and the other v3.5 one much like this hack would not pick up threads created using the forms. This made it all but useless for me. I will give this one a shot.

Are there group permissions built into this?

Great idea :)
first post was confusing as hell tho..lol


does this put a strain on a the db ?

Great idea too. I have thought of few instaces I have needed something similar. Will download and play with it.

This looks interesting - anyone have any idea of what sort of performance hit it will have?

Sabret00the!!! So great~
Thanks for this MOD.

Just one question.
Can I specify forum for keywords?

Another question.
How about your GROUPs 3.0?

Yup usergroup permissions, so you can set it so only mods/premium members can receive keyword alerts.

Yes. This will only set in forums you include via your vBulletin options.

As for GRPS, it's coming. development slowed a little however i think i stumbled onto a fix as to what was holding me up.

i've tried to make it as easy on the db as possible. but honestly without running it on a huge board with a million keywords, i can't test it suffiently. however it does only add two queries per new thread in specified forums.

if a new thread is created and it contains a users keywords they'll be notified.

great add-on but i need to wait the performance, mine is:

Threads: 511,412, Posts: 18,320,253, Members: 345,539, Active Members: 154,798

And i'm scared it will slow down the forum

if it slows down the forum just uninstall it. no harm, no foul.

I noticed that when posting a new thread after installing this mod, there's a confirmation page that the member goes through letting them know that their post has been posted, which contains a SQL error at the top saying:

Anyone else getting this?

is that all it says? i'm unable to replicate.

See attached screenshots.

I get this when trying to post a new thread while this mod is enabled.

If I disable this mod, users posting a new thread immediately see their thread once submitting & aren't brought to this page.

did you select forums for the mod to work in?

Yes, I did. I even just tried again & still get the same error.
I've been forced to disable the mod until we find the cause. :(

Honestly, it's a great idea & great concept and I'm anxious to re-enable it.

So just to clarify. you had a/some forums selected in your vBulletin Keyword Notification System options (there should've been a list of forums) clicked save and when you returned to the screen said forums were highlighted/grey backgrounds?

1. First request.

Is this for Exact Match word?
How can I get Non-Exact Match word.
I need Keyword search for Non-Exact Match word.
ex)
Keyword : pass
--> Can search : pass, password, passport,.........or skypass, bypass


2. Second request.
I need 'Users can specify forums' function.



Please...Could you?
I can Donating if you can. hahahaha :)
And I donated for your 'Moderator Application System 2.1' at yesterday.(Buyer: Mi******)

Hmmm, I swear that I highlighted them all a few times, hit Save, but they weren't selected when I came back later to these options.

BUT, Now I just tried it EXCLUDING my top 6 or so forums which consist of RESTRICTED ACCESS forums for only a few members + one item listed as a forum could really be a link to a category in my File Download Library, Bug Tracker, etc.

I excluded those & it still didn't stay once I clicked SAVE.

FINALLY: I deselected the Parent Category which contains both hidden & public forums (as well as the private forums mentioned above) so I was left with ONLY public forums enabled & when I clicked Save this time, it actually worked. It kept my selected forums remembered when I returned to those options + didn't give me that Post Confirmation screen or PHP error on Line 13.

Nice.

We'll keep you posted on how it goes here.

Thanks again!

this file corrupted my vb

An explanation of the fault would help:p

I installed it. properly like i always install the rest of my hacks. The first it starts to show this

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/home/rapfeind/public_html/plugins/kns/hook_cache_templates.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/rapfeind/public_html/global.php(341) : eval()'d code on line 101
My whole Vb was damaged....

Whats the link to this page from the usercp, because my usercp shell has been changed quite a bit.

Great mod though!

Request 1: Would have an unholy performance hit.

Request 2: Is possible. I've gotta cold so i'm not coding much at the moment but should i get some time. I'll see about releasing an add-on. Ultimately it's a question of performance hits. Also. thank you very much for the donation.

glad you got it sorted :)

That's not a corrupted vBulletin. That's telling you that you never uploaded one of the files it requires to continue.
