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This is something I originally made about 4 years ago.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
You can see a live version in action here:
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/spy.php


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).

Oddly enough, it only seemed to work on my (busy) site the first time I checked. Ever since I posted a message telling people to check it out, it hasn't worked. No threads display at all. What could have gone wrong?

Sure, that's fine... the whole thing was ported FROM a vB3 version I had, but it was always designed for in-house use, so never really thought to keep a copy of the old one when we moved to vB4.

Do you have anything in the digitalpoint_spy table? That should be getting a new record as stuff is added. If not, make sure your plug-ins are enabled.

Hey Shawn. I imported the product XML but the Spy link doesn't show up.

Later edit: Found it. It's in the community submenu. Never figured to look it up there. I always thought it would be in the main navigation menu, right after What's new.

Can we speed up the display ? I keep closing and re-opening it and it always takes a lot of time to reach the fresh data.

Installed to test ... :up:

Thank you ...

I've had people make some new posts, but I see nothing showing up under the "Spy" function ...

Am I missing something that needs to be turned on?

I put spy.php in home directory and imported XML fine. It shows up on community menu and loads page, but there's no activity.

Regards,
Badger

Edit: NM .. give me a coffee break and you have to retrain me ...

Love this!
Is there anyway to remove the link in the community dropdown altogether?
Or add an 'if admin'/'if moderator' conditional phrase to the link in the dropdown?
I looked in the navbar template but can't even find it to remove it.

EDIT: found it, so disabled the plug-in for navigation. But would still like to have it there or somewhere for admins and moderators only. Anyone have any idea what the 'if' conditional phrasing/coding would be to add to the navigation plug in?

Thanks ...

That's the same question I was going to ask .... :up:
