vBISpy - AJAX real-time feed of new posts/threads
Developer Last Online: Dec 2016
After seeing the http://www.digg.com/spy application; I wondered if this could be done for vBulletin as well. I came across this webpage which had a "how to" on how they built a similiar application to do the same thing. Taking a page from their book (i.e. the code), I modified it for use with vBulletin.
During development, I also came across this post here on vBulletin.Org where the very subject had already been discussed. So I put this together; a simple ZIP file with a single PHP script, three javascript files and 4 images. Installation . UNZIP the file into your forums directory . That's it! 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. In your browser, open the URL: http://www.yourforum.com/forum/vaispy.php You can see examples of this at: http://www.viperalley.com/forum/vaispy.php http://www.extremefitness.com/forum/vaispy.php Note: I claim no ownership of this code except for the file vaispy.php - the rest of the files were using 'freely distributable' sources. As such, you may use these files as you wish, but please do not remove the copyrights. This modification is for vBulletin 3.6 only, if you are running vBulletin 3.5 you will need to see this thread. JOIN THE vBIspy Network! Once you have this mod installed, you can join the vBIspy network to have your threads appear on this site; the vBIspy Network is a great way for people to see what's going on in various vBulletin communities and for forum owners to promote their sites and generate new traffic.

I meant "when" sorry...
Also i have the AI bot installed as well, and hwen that posts it sometimes messes up, So i am thinking that when the rss and bot posts, they post at the speed of light (so to speak) and it looks like the spy cannot keep up with it, thats what it looks like, I know the bot aint your problem and is hopefully being resolved (slow him posting) so its just the rss feeds.. If one rss is posted its ok, but if theres 2 or more thats when it messes up. I think the rss feeds posts at virtually the same time, therefore if a smal 1 or 2 second delay can be implemented between posts thats should help Does this make any sense to you lol |

Quick question about modifying the look of the threadbits...
Is there a way to make the bg color of each table row alternate from class="alt1" to class="alt2"? |

I made some major adjustments to mine, take a looksie... The only one not visible here is a 10 minute refresh, to check for new private messages and to update any posts I've read.

Mine also has vBSEO rewritten URLs, so it's a bit diff. I may post it later when I clean it up some more.
BTW if anyone wants alternating rows, here is an easy way to accomplish it. -- In va_spy.js find Code:
function spyinit() { Code:
var rowClass = 'alt2'; Code:
highestid = Math.max(parseInt(spyid), highestid); Code:
rowClass = rowClass == 'alt2' ? 'alt1' : 'alt2'; Code:
text = ' Code:
<td class="' + rowClass + '"> |

vaispy.php va_spy.js - added SirAdrian's mods for thread status icons and alternating row colors - added code to prepopulate the first 10 rows with existing threads allowing for 5 new ones to be added in scrolling mode (versus scrolling starting from the first thread). |

Something is not right, look at http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/forum/vaispy.php.
There are different fonts in the first column Event. Bob |
