Digital Point Spy · **Released**: 05-26-2010

About
This is a Digg-style spy for seeing what's going on in your forum in realtime.

This is something I originally made about 4 years ago. Now that I rewrote it for vBulletin 4 (it also now uses the bundled YUI for animation), I decided to also wrap it up as a product package and release it for the world to use.

Installation

Put the spy.php file in your forum folder.
Put the digitalpoint_spy.js file in your clientscript folder.
Install the product-digitalpoint_spy.xml product under AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

1.1.0 Update

Moved JavaScript to external file (works around template parsing bug with early versions of vBulletin 4.0.x).
XML generation is done with vBulletin's XML Builder class (let it deal with weird characters).
Switched JavaScript library to from YUI to jQuery (for an end user, it means better animations).
Changed do=xml to do=feed (works around servers that are overly protective and think they are trying to be hacked and blocking the request).

how do I remove "spy" from navtab?

vb 4.1.8. Plugin works but the options menu doesn't appear.

Should we manually add in the forums list variable until an update comes out?

Ex: (line 80 in spy.php)
$forumids = '3,4,5,6';
$forumids = implode (',', $forumids);

What options menu are you referring to exactly?

Hi, I've installed the latest version in 4.1.8 and it appears in the Admin Management area as active, but the Live Feed Tab does not appear, even though I have it selected as On.

The last thing posted on your forum is from 12 hours ago... it doesn't track anything more than an hour old.

Was that directed to me? Surely the live menu should appear in the tabs even if there are no new posts?

Not sure what the "live menu" is, but it should have a link under the "Community" sub-menu.

Sorry, I meant Live Feed Tab at the top level menu... I see it under community. I must have used vB tabs to place it at the top... I thought it went there by default.

Yep, if it was there for you at one point it wasn't put there by the add-on. It's always only been under the Community menu.
