vBISpy - AJAX real-time feed of new posts/threads (for vB3.5)
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 version is for vBulletin 3.5 users only, for vBulletin 3.6 you will need to download the 3.6 version located here. 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. Optional add-ons Who's Online mod for this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=126209 vBAdvanced Module: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=126421 UPDATES 1.0.2 Added buro9's code from here 1.0.3 - 9.9.06 Modified some JavaScript in va_spy.js to remove split strings 1.0.4 - 9.10.06 Added date cuffoff code from here and changed init() to spyinit() - changed vaispy.php and va_spy.js files. 1.0.5 - 9.11.06 I've changed the query to grab the preview text from the last message; the downside to this change is that people with very large "post" tables will want to add an index to their table to significantly improve the performance on this script. Code:
ALTER TABLE `vb_post` ADD INDEX ( `dateline` ) va_spy.js: Added a forum url variable to allow for integration with portals or other products outside the forum directory va_spy.js: Added xmldelay variable at top of script for easier configuration or repolling Updated files: vaispy.php, vb_spy.js 1.0.7 - 9.13.06 vaispy.php - changed code for checking for forum permissions to include password protected forums, added javascript tag for script code va_spy.js - changed link to use goto=lastpost to fix links 1.0.8 - 9.16.06 vaispy.php va_spy.js va_effects.js - modified to allow for proper display in Opera browsers and moved more html into vaispy.php to allow for stylevars, trimmed va_effects.js to remove unused code (ForumDog's suggestions, except not using templates yet), changed way threads are parsed (removes html as well) 1.0.9 - 9.17.06 va_prototype.js - removed 20kb of unused code Supporters / CoAuthors Show Your Support

Is there a way to prevent guests/spiders from using this?

Such a cool hack! Thank you much!
What would it take to have the option to only view new threads / posts in subscribed forums? |

Thanks for fixing the last post issue on 3.5.
How would I go about parsing the posticons of the thread in a new column? |

This would be HOTM material if there was an easy way to template the output.

It's definitely HOTM material anyway, but yes, a template would make this great hack even better.
