End-User Options - Keyword Notification System 1.0

Wowee, i always wanted one of these too. I can't believe someone actually released one. I'm the luckiest. No, you're not really reading this. This is your subconcious talking...

Ok seriously now. you're like what's that? it's a KNS... Keyword Notification System. Ok imagine it like this.

EPISODE 1: Billy is a good kid, Billy is down with the times and Billy's family is proud of Billy because Billy is on the computer instead of being out doing bad knows what.

Billy has however replaced hard drugs and alcohol with an internet forum addiction and every day refreshes forums a lot just wasting bandwidth as Billy waits for his news on his favourite music groups, sometimes Billy gets lucky but ultimately Billy just wastes bandwidth. This used to be cool for webmasters because of all the page impressions on the ads, However Billy is part of the evil Ad Blocker Crew and so just wastes the bandwidth with no upside.

Then one day, just as the admin of the forum was about to hunt down Billy and still the lazer from Billys mouse, he found KNS. KNS totally transformed his life, The evil info leecher named Billy wouldn't just refresh the same forum because Billy got emails when what Billy wanted was released and Billy found time to go outside and actually talk on the forums in-between bandwidth wasting. KNS saves lives.

EPISODE 2: <Imagine the Billy story but with Billy named Tony and movie news instead of music news.>... KNS totally transformed his life, The evil info leecher named Tony wouldn't just refresh the same forum because Tony got emails when what Tony wanted was released and Billy found time to go outside and actually talk on the forums in-between bandwidth wasting. KNS saves lives.

OMG, where on earth do i get one of these KNS's? I bet it looks like a lazer. That's what you're thinking right? Well yes. If a lazer looks like a zip file and you can download it from here. It looks exactly like a lazer.

OK then. Now we got that covered. We're totally Coolio and the fat dude he sang with at the height of his career thanks to a film that not a lot of people watched. I hear he now performs in Brighton.

Actual hack info now:
Adds two new screens. One for adding/removing keywords and one for a top keyword list.

and that's about it. questions on a postcard. or even in this thread. As per usual donations greatly appreciated. And i'll catch you later

CHANGELOG

1.0.1
------------------------------------------
change: bug in execution code meant that only users with permission to set keywords could make posts which were picked up by the KNS. now any user can make a post which KNS will pick up. [forums/plugins/kns/hook_newthread_post_complete.php]

Nice work sabe. Must admit the first post confused me much.

There is one for vB 3.5 already released, I am not sure if you have seen it - it works differently than yours though - I'm not bashing it.

IIRC it didn't have the front end, which is a nice idea.

Keep hacking.

Doh! should've looked. And there was me thinking it was a totally amazing brand new idea. Thanks for the support though

Could we get a more...normal description of what this does?

[dirtycrow]

what does this do?

[Dream]

I didn't get it...

[yoyoyoyo]

I get it - great idea. Basically it sends a notice to anyone who subscribes to a keyword when a new post containing that keyword is posted to the forum.

I liked the description - I love the way sabe describes his hacks - he has a talent and flair for words - thanks again.
