    Standard BeBot News Module + My MOTD module = NewNews!
    « on: September 26, 2006, 09:22:26 am »
    In an attempt to undo some of the wrongs of my MOTD (http://bebot.link/index.php/topic,336.0.html) module, I've put together a brand new module that I've dubbed NewNews!

    NewNews combines the features of News.php with the feature of MOTD.php, and adds some new stuff.

    Features
    • Admins can delete messages
    • News items can be set to expire and will be automatically removed
    • News items expire time can be set by the user.
    • News items can be set to never expire.
    • Automatically behaves properly for guildbots and raidbots. (I hope!!!)
    • If your bot is a guildbot, news is sent when a buddy logs on.
    • If your bot is not a guildbot, news is sent when a player joins the channel.
    • Only most resent news item is displayed in chat.
    • Other news items are displayed as a click link/text window
    • News link displays the time of the most recent News update
    • Automatic news display can be enabled and disabled
    • Automatic news display can be set to simple and full mode (simple = news.php style, full = motd.php style)
    • News link prefix can be customized!
    • Use !news or !motd
    • If you're already using News.php, your news items will be automatiaclly imported into this module!
    • I included a helpfile!

    Yeah, that's alot. I haven't really cleaned up my code yet, and I think I've found most of the bugs, but there could still be some issues in this code. As such,  I haven't dubbed this a 1.0 yet. Please hammer away and find bugs.

    Improtant: This module depends on my New Module Settings (http://bebot.link/index.php/topic,607.0.html) Module. Install Module Settings before installing NewNews!!!

    Also Important: Disable MOTD.php and News.php before using NewNews!

    Last Improtant Note: I've only tested this on 0.2.8. No clue how it works in the 0.3 branch or earlier 0.2 versions.

    I think that's all the gotchas...

    Updated to 0.9.1:

    Changes
    • Can now import MOTD items. /tell yourbot !motd import
    • Added wordwrap() to clean up the motd output.
    • Automatically adds campalot behavior without code edits (this is for my sanity and doesn't serve any purpose other than I don't have to maintain two different versions of the mdoule).

    looks like a great module. but not sure where I made a mistake.
    I get an error when trying to run bebot of

    Fatal error: Call to a member function save <> on a non-object in C:\BeBot\modules\NewNews.php on line 51

    I set up bebot settings as you posted to change.
    not sure what I did wrong. any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Looks like you missed a setup step in the settings module. You have to add a var $settings; to Bot.php for the settings module to work. Full instructions should be in the readme.

    I was wondering about something.

    was looking over the newnews.php and i see that at the bottom you have added some stuff for campalot. Any chance that can be used for other bots ? if so how would i go about doing it.. Tried to copy this code but as i guessed that didnt work.
    Code: [Select]
    $output .= $this -> colorize($this -> colors['infoheadline'], "Account Information:\n");
    Trying to learn this but it takes time and im not that good at beeing patient.. hehe

    It is, but you would have to edit Bot.php and every other module that we've modified to get it to work. It's fairly obvious what you would need to do, but it's a lot of edits that I'm not going to track down, document, and produce a step by step guide for doing so. :)

    Glara did you modify your apf and beast modules?

    Yes, that's why the Campalot function is only called on bot's running Campalot's code. You shouldn't modify your bot to use the campalot function, cause it's not going to work without other modifications. As I've stated before, the campalot function is there so I don't have to maintain multiple versions of the module. You have to add the code to make BeastDay, APF, etc. "core" modules.
