Miscellaneous Hacks - Digital Point Spy

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This is something I originally made about 4 years ago.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:

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).

Anyone interested in some code extensions for this mod?

They include HTML username markup, BBcode parsing and inclusion of the vB ignored users feature.

I wrote the code for my own use but i can publish it if anyone is interested and digitalpoint gives me permission to do so.

Live version: https://adhs-chaoten.net/livestream.html

Runs on php 5.4.4 and vB 4.2.2 PL1.

That would be great. This hack hasn't been updated for awhile now.

[the one]

I am having like an omg moment.

Ok so i installed all files correctly and imported it through admin cp no problemo.

So where does this feature work,i have gone to my forums and nothing i have looked in admin cp options and nothing no settings

My question is this does this plugin need to be turned on somewhere and if so where

I put this file spy.php in my public_htlm folder

I put this file digitalpoint_spy.js in my public_html/clientscript

I the imported the plugin the normal way no problem..Have i done something wrong.Can i ask for this plug in to work does your activity stream need to be working

I have solved it just needed to add /spy/ to the end of my domain

Many thanks

You need to call spy.php script to see this mod working, if that is your omg moment.

If you don't call it (i.e. put in browser something like this: http://mysite.com/spy.php), nothing happens.

Ours quit a while back. Is there anything to check at why it quit?

Thanks
