Auto Post Google Alerts
 

I will no longer be supporting this hack as 3.6.x supports feeds, making this hack obsolete.

This hack will automatically post to a forum of your choice, as a user of your choice, any Google alert received. In fact, it should work for any alert service.

If you do not know what Google Alerts are, see this page:

Requirements:

A POP email box to receive Google Alerts.

Install is simple. Upload the PHP file, install the product, define the settings in adminCP, test, and set up a scheduled task in the adminCP then:

Click Install

You can limit who can post alerts by restricting domains allowed to email the POP box. I advise you use a secret, previously unused POP box/email address. Any mail in the POP box that is not in the domain list is deleted, otherwise it is posted.

I will offer support as I can here, or in the forum at my website at www.worldwidecreations.com

this looks awesome, ill surely check it out!!

and if I add my email details the same message appears !?

Either the popserver, username, port or password are wrong or, on some servers, you may be required to edit vbox.php where it says:

To:

How about a screeny?

Screen added of a google alert based on the keyword "bush" and a screen of the settings in adminCP..

Do the posts add to the user defined post count?

No it does not.

Hi

I am 99% sure i done this right....
When i run the script it says

Loading Directly.
done processed 0 of 0 mails

Even though i have run the test and have sent an email to the address used...

I know my domain has pop and i have inserted the mail.*****.com into the domian box, is this correct?
