Is it possible to auto start Rss ?

[N3bTcx]

Hello

I would like to know if it's possible to automaticly start fetching rss when the bot start?

How to use the option [fg] [bg] ?

Usage: .rss add <#channel> <Feed_Name> <URL> [fg] [bg]

On rss.py """Given some text and fore/back colours, return a coloured text string."""

Thanks

I don't know the answer for the first question. The second one (i think) is something like this> Usage: .rss add <#channel> <Feed_Name> <URL> [fg] [bg] Where <#channel> is the name of the channel where you would like to post if something new shows up, <Feed_Name> is the name of the feed, <URL> is the feed url, [fg] is the foreground color code, [bg] is the background color code. You have to use the mirc color codes for this i assume, here is a little bit of explanation of them: http://www.mirc.com/colors.html. If I'm mistaken at something please correct me.

It should auto-update every 5 minutes when you start the bot already. And yes, the fg and bg are MIRC color codes.

Rss won't start automaticly.

Here an example where I need to start it to fetch rss.

[10:42] <@    n3b> | .help
[10:42] <     Willie> | n3b: Say .help <command> (for example .help c) to get help for a command, or .commands for a list of commands.
[11:11] <@    n3b> | .rss start
[11:11] <     Willie> | n3b: Okay, I'll start fetching RSS feeds...

Also i don't get any feedbacks when a feed is disable (generaly for a too long ping).

I use the python module "Feedparser" V 5.1.3 and my bot code is as follows:

def setup(bot):
    #Auto start checking and sending the news feeds.
    tlkrss2(bot)
    kncrss2(bot)

def tlkrss2(bot):
    #my code to check my feeds every 30 seconds

def kncrss2(bot):
    #my code to check my feeds every 30 seconds

Does not answer your question, but may be of help!

I was talking about this earlier in the channel. My suggestion is a config boolean that sets the RSS feeds to start automatically after an IRC connection. Currently, I have to do a ".rss start" to start the periodic RSS fetching process every time the bot reconnects or logs on.
