funkymonkey Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Hi, I've just added some live bookmarking functionality to SAU. what you need to do is... Select Bookmarks, then Manage Bookmarks... In the bookmark manager, in the File Menu, select New Live Bookmark... 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. This is what you should get once you're done... 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.

funkymonkey Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70674-firefox-users-testing-out-live-bookmarking-system-for-sau/#findComment-1304969 Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkymonkey Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 hehe i can't believe its not butter! 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.

ferni Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 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?

andy25 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 hey funky If you do work out how to get MSN to use firefox plz let us know hey. IE shite itself altogether on my comp so i cant view profiles or easily open hotmail which can get rather irritating Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70674-firefox-users-testing-out-live-bookmarking-system-for-sau/#findComment-1305512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 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?

ferni Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 funky: cool....i'd prefer it not to use our account because that means next time i log in i can't do 'new posts' from last time i was actually on the page Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70674-firefox-users-testing-out-live-bookmarking-system-for-sau/#findComment-1306166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKY031 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I don't know if it's related to what you've done but all the drop down menus are now disabled in Mozilla.

wynode Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 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> Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/70674-firefox-users-testing-out-live-bookmarking-system-for-sau/#findComment-1306371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abo Bob Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 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.
