Can discussbot auto-create topics only from news in specified category?
« on: June 02, 2006, 03:16:43 AM »

I'm using the discussbot 1.4.3 .
I was just wondering if it is possible when setting the bot to auto-create the topics in SMF that it will only create topics from newsitems that are in a specific category and/or section.

For instance....I would just want to have topics created from newsitems that are in a category "latest news" and the section "news".

Yes, I would like this too, it would make the bot much much better.
I'll try looking through the PHP file and maybe there's a setting there.

Yes- I'll add this to the todo list. We need a way to map certain Joomla sections/cats to different boards.

I'll work this into a future update if I can.

like to have this feature too...

have now modified the bot a little by meself to work only with messages from the News section...

change...
Code:
     if (!empty($jcs)) {
        $jcs = "[".$jcs."] ";
     }
into...
Code:
     if (!empty($jcs)) {
        $jcssection = $jcs;
        $jcs = "[".$jcs."] ";
     }

change...
Code:
   createPost($msgOptions, $topicOptions, $posterOptions);
into
Code:
if ( $jcssection == 'News' ) {
   createPost($msgOptions, $topicOptions, $posterOptions);
   }

and 'News' can be each section you wanna discuss in your forum...

you can also add an extra field in the parameters of the XML file where you can store the name of the section you like to have displayed only, in my case I didn't because it will not change into anything else anymore...

Does this mean the bot will automatically create the articles in the forum, or does a user still have to click on the link to let the forum create it?
