If you use this modification, please >> Mark As Installed, Nominate for MOTM, or Support Developer <<, thank you


What is this!?
vBISpy is an AJAX real-time feed of new posts/threads for your vBulletin 4.0 forum.

Please note that this is currently in Beta. The style is not perfect, but the mod should be fully functionial.


Current Version
2.0.4 - You can find the 3.6.x version, here.


Features flagged for future version(s):
  • looking for suggestions


Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 4.0.x versions. This will not work on 3.x.


Sounds cool. How do I install?
  1. Extract the zip, you should have the following directories/files:

    Code:
    /
    |_ vaispy.php
    
    /clientscript/
    |_ va_effects.js
    |_ va_prototype.js
    |_ va_spy.js
    
    /images/
    	/misc/
    	|_ pause_down.gif
    	|_ pause_up.gif
    	|_ play_down.gif
    	|_ play_up.gif
  2. Upload: (in the below instructions 'yourforum' would be where you have vBulletin installed)
    • vaispy.php to /yourforum/vaispy.php
    • /clientscript/*.js to /yourforum/clientscript/*.js
    • /images/misc/*.gif to /yourforum/images/misc/*.gif


Upgrading
Unless noted otherwise, just upload and overwrite 'vaispy.php'.


Customization
Virtually all the code to customize the page is in the vaispy.php script; there are no plugins, no templates and no phrases. You do not need to do anything further; this should work right out of the box.

If you'd like to block certain usergroups from viewing vBISpy; or certain forums from being displayed - edit vaispy.php
PHP Code:
/**
* Do not list these forums even if they have 
* permissions (test categories, etc)
*
* Enter them by ID, separated by commans (eg: 1,2,3)
*/
$blockforums '';

/**
* Do not allow these groups.
*
* Enter them by ID, separated by commans (eg: 1,2,3)
*/
$blockgroups ''
In your browser, open the URL:

http://www.yourforum.com/forum/vaispy.php

You can see examples of this at:
  • Anyone wanting to list here as an example?


Note: Neither I nor MPDev claim ownership of this code except for the file vaispy.php - the rest of the files were using 'freely distributable' (although modified to suit vBISpy) sources. As such, you may use these files as you wish, but please do not remove the copyrights.


Changelog

Our members love this however there is one slight problem hope can help with. We have spoiler tags on our forum so info can be hid and they got to click a button to view the content... in iSpy the spoiler tags don't work so they can see what is in the spoiler tags, which kinda ruins things.

Can I stop this somehow?

My members are really loving this one!!!! Thanks.

Is there any plans to make this a CMS widget?

They are always complaining on my site about the front page thread/post updates. We used to use vBportal which had a great recent forum activity update in it... now things aren't the same and they gripe lol.

How is this different than when a user already has a "subscribed to" list?

Is there a way to make it find the correct css to use. It seems to be using the wrong css. As it in no way goes with my current style (Darkness)
