threadBOT: The Thread Provider · **Released**: 04-28-2005

WHAT:
This hack will create threads at regualar intervals in the forum you specify and with the body text you specify on a thread by thread basis

WHY:
Because your forums are probably dead or you just wanna make sure you continue in the persut of quality topic-specific threads

WHEN:
Whenever you set it to because we're cron like that

WHERE:
In your forums

HOW:
Easily, theirs like one file edit and that's one of the files this comes with, we call it super plug-in power-o

ANYTHING ELSE:
Yes if jilly didn't make the request i would've never got round to spending the few hours it took to create this, though i got distracted alot and so it took me like 5 hours over 3 weeks.

Installation
Unpack to the directories stated and then run the installer @ http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/ins...ck_install.php and follow all the instructions.

Upgrading
Replace the cron file.

sabret00the · #13 04-30-2005, 08:26 PM

if you set it to run on the XX minute of the hour it should run by itself if it's got the threads to make but i have to remove the hack for a few days, somethings not working so i'm gonna try and get someone to look at it and tell me where i've gone wrong.

all bugs fixed, critical they were the hack was removed (they were not security issues though mind you) theirs one or two more improvements which could be called bugs still in, but alas this is now fully working, so please enjoy it once more.

Wooohooo!!! Thanks sabre!!! i am running to test this out now!!!

*flexes fingers and clicks install*

jilly · #16 05-11-2005, 02:08 AM

Okay, it installed fine - so far, so good!

Q1 - How do I specify the text that will be posted?
Q2 - How do I specify which board they are posted in?
Q2 - How do I specify when they are posted?

sabret00the · #17 05-13-2005, 01:02 PM

ok set the cron job so that it runs once a day and threads will be made once a day.

the rest will be done via your board www.yoursite.com/forums/feed_threadBOT.php

sorry only just seen this.

Anyone actually got this working .. ?

When I run :

Code:

http://www.mydomain/retreat/install/hack_install.php

I always get "Warning: asort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /usr/home/thetechg/public_html/retreat/install/hack_install.php on line 52"

i've not had that error at all on any hacks i've used or made thanks to the HIS, are you ticking anything? and have you used the HIS before?

Okay I can't find the cron - do I have to add it? I installed it and I think it all went fine - but when I run feed_threadBOT.php i get this:
