Hi, I've just added some live bookmarking functionality to SAU.

what you need to do is...

021.jpg

Select Bookmarks, then Manage Bookmarks...

031.jpg

In the bookmark manager, in the File Menu, select New Live Bookmark...

04.jpg

Fill out the details needed, the URL for the live bookmark is up to you, see below for further info on how to get the URL to get what you need.

051.jpg

This is what you should get once you're done...

06.jpg

This doesn't auto refresh though, and if you want to get an updated list of threads, then right-click on the bookmark (not the threads) and select Refresh Live Bookmark.

Now onto the URL to use for the live bookmark...

the base of the RSS2 feed is

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2&postlen=0

This will return the lastest threads to be created on the forum

To specify the number of threads you want to have in your live list, use the qty property... like so...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2&postlen=0&qty=20

This will return the 20 newest threads to be created on the forum

To specify you want a list of active threads, (ie threads with new posts, not by thread creation date)

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2&postlen=0&items=active

Turn BBCode and HTML on and off is done by using the following

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2&postlen=0&bbcode=no&html=no

BBCode and HTML are useless when it comes to making live bookmarks so best to turn em off

You can also combine them like so...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2&postlen=0&bbcode=no&html=no&items=active&qty=20

To get the last 20 threads to have posts made in them. (What I use)

I will be expanding the feature, in the coming weeks to include listing PM's and also threads in specific sections.

I'd appreciate some feedback and any ideas you guys might have about this feature.

oh and if you put forumods=,,

it'll restrict the threads to those forums only...

eg:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/external.php?type=rss&postlen=0&items=new&qty=30&html=no&bbcode=no&forumids=100

will give you the 20 newest threads in the VIC section

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/external.php?type=rss&postlen=0&items=new&qty=30&html=no&bbcode=no&forumids=100,102

will give you the 20 newest threads in the VIC section AND the VIC events section

hehe i can't believe its not butter! :D

yeah using firefox, you've converted me. Moreso I hated that IE took up so many resources... now if I can only find a way of making MSN messenger not open ie, and make windows update work with firefox.

Firefox still has a few brain farts when using vbulletin tho... but I love the extensions.

Will using these book marks log you in/make a hit to the server with your account? so that next time i log in and look it will have 'last visited' time at when i refreshed the live bookmark?

ferni... no, it uses an anonymous listing (so its not really "new posts since last visit" its just "new posts") if you get what I mean. Which means you can't list posts in member only sections etc.

This does raise the probelm though if I go ahead n code the script to check PM's as well, because that'll have to log you in to get your PM's.

andy, have you tried using "Registry Search & Replace" to replace all instances of iexplore with firefox?

I don't know if it's related to what you've done but all the drop down menus are now disabled in Mozilla.

I am unable to moderate, unable to send PM's, unable to access any of my account details.

This is for Mr. Site admin

Put this in your headerinclude template to get the little RSS icon in the bottom of the firefox window (you can then click it to get live bookmarks for either the whole site or for a specific forum by just clicking on the icon).

<if condition="$vboptions[externalrss]">

<link href="$vboptions[bburl]/external.php?type=rss2" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] - Latest Posts" />

<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid] != ''">

<link href="$vboptions[bburl]/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] - Latest Posts in $foruminfo[title]" />

</if>

</if>

I know what you mean about missing new posts Ferni.

Maybe this should go in the suggestions thread but maybe the new posts function could be modified to say 'new posts since : '

Personally I hate when I get a pm I want to see and/or reply to but I don't have time to read all the new posts.

I know it's sad but I'm not the only one who would die without SAU.

skylinegeoff's constantly on my back about bringing back the "New Posts for today" function in addition to the "New Posts since last visit"

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov

      That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu.

      Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.
