Thread Torrent

Description

After discussion with the Serence development team and several members of this community including cloudrunner would wrote KlipFolio Integration, I have decided to release Thread Torrent for Serence KlipFolio and vBulletin, moreover This hack was essentially requested by Koutaru here to provide a way to display newest threads. KlipFolio is a desktop application that allows you to easily view and manage live, automated and customizable channels to unique information sources called Klips. A Klip is a live, automated and customizable channel to a unique information source that runs in KlipFolio. For more information you can reference the KlipScript Guide for documentation (Also see Klip Tags). The basics are essentially self explanatory; let me know if you have any more questions concerning this topic.

Kriek I seem to have a small problem after adding more threads to block and it seems while they are blocked it also blocks other forum ID's and I'm not sure why ...for instance forum 5 gets blocked with this code...perhaps I have too many?

PHP Code:

$privateforum = '"([3]|[24]|[25]|[26]|[27]|[28]|[29]|[30])"'

Alesis, Hopefully a quick fix; diffrent method.

Find this line

PHP Code:

$privateforum = '"([3]|[24]|[25]|[26]|[27]|[28]|[29]|[30])"'; 


Replace with the following

PHP Code:

$privateforum = "'3', '24', '25', '26', '27', '28', '29', '30'"; 


Find this line

PHP Code:

$dosql .= ' AND thread.forumid NOT REGEXP ' . $privateforum; 


Replace with the following

PHP Code:

$dosql .= ' AND thread.forumid NOT IN (' . $privateforum . ')';

Thank you again Kriek, that works perfect

**BTW, cool art on your website

Again -- Alesis, you?re quite welcome

To answer the question as to why 5 was getting matched (as well as 3,4,6,7,8,9,0) is that the square brackets create a character set. For example [24] creates a set of two characters that will match both 2 and 4 (did I mention my regular expressions are rusty). So the proper syntax should have been

PHP Code:

$privateforum = '"^(3|25|26|27|28|29|30|6)$'"; 


However using regular expressions (as I have come to find out) is much slower than a list of comma separated values on a row that has an index such as this.

PHP Code:

$privateforum = "'3', '24', '25', '26', '27', '28', '29', '30'";

I'm learning....slowly

Alesis, check your private messages and also note the additional options for Who's Online (display Serence KlipFolio User for location) updated in the installation files (vbtt.rar).

[alesis404]

Kriek, I followed your directions in your updated .rar files for "Who's Online"

*I simply added the code below where you specified in online.php in the 2 locations, I then assumed I would check in the user CP under "Who's Online" and would see the reference's to who is online with klipfolio...I'm not sure this is correct but all I see is myself viewing the control panel?

**Note I did not re-upload vbtt.php and vbtt.klip...all i have done is edited the online php file.

**Not sure this make a difference but awhile back I edited a template to change who's online to look like this...LoL

Total Online: 4_ |_ Members Online: 1_ |_ News Robots Online: 3_|

*Not sure this would effect the operation of this mod, I had changed this template because klipfolios were showing online when users were not online*

[Kriek]

No, absolutely nothing to do with any control panel. This update alters the output of the location field via Who's Online (yourforum.com/forum/online.php), that’s all. See the attachment.

Hello Kriek, I'm just curious if Thread Torrent is easily modified for use with VB 3.0? I recently installed it and totally forgot it might not work and I'm hoping it would be easy for me too modify and make it all work, thanks.
