bbChecker II rc-4
GUI enabled Bulleting Board change checker

package and sources can be downloaded from:
www.gwspikval.com/jooel/scripts/bbchecker II

on same location is also readme which lists dependencies and other stuff.

for version history you can read topic (and the others it points to):
http://81.17.37.55/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=13;t=000201

changes made in RC2:
-fixed broken package
-fixed slider
-new post check interval now accepts only times between 10 and 99 seconds

changes made in RC3:
-added todays active topics
-added ability to disable slider
-opening page with same location does not spawn window but shows the current one
-installation now understands all places for registered kixforms.dll instead of older method which only checked system32
-changed timestamp format in history

changes made in RC4:
-added support for new bb version (6.3.1)
-history also shows the forum where message was posted
-some minor fixes

all changes are done for II 1.0 release.
this gives some developers peace in their beta testing.

it pretty much is it now. just waiting for a day or two to see if it has errors or other problems.
then making it final.

in next release we will focus in things like getting forum related information (partly inbuild already) and most likely modifiable reply (not just ubb-code in signature as for ex.) and also codeparser interface addon which removes the need for separate bbCodeparser installation...
cheers!

first bug found.
don't update the package yet but you can update your bbChecker with just downloading the slider.kix and replacing the old one in %programfiles%\bbchecker

Lonkero,

First things first: WOW WOW WOW [Eek!]
This looks really great!!!

Does it work behind a firewall (I'm @home now)?

Two adjustment suggestions though:

1.
found an error in inst.kix --> missing endif (used kixstrip410)

I changed:
code:
If ReadValue($bk,"version")
$oldversion=ReadValue($bk,"version")

to
code:
;If ReadValue($bk,"version")
$oldversion=ReadValue($bk,"version")

And it worked fine...

2.
Made minor adjustment in BBcheckerII script

I changed
code:
Function slide($sc)
Run 'wkix32 -i "@scriptdir\slider.kix" $$sc="$sc" $$b='+taskbar()
EndFunction

to
code:
Function slide($sc)
Run '@scriptdir\wkix32 -i "@scriptdir\slider.kix" $$sc="$sc" $$b='+taskbar()
EndFunction

This way wkix32 is always your Wkix32 version and not < 4.11 in the path...

Jooel,

This is the first time I've tried your script. Every time I launch, the window is off screen. I can do a ALT-SPACEBAR to get the menu and then move it into the screen, but when I click a button, they all shoot off screen and I can't move them. Most likely something really stupid on my part... [Smile]

..Oddly enough it seems to be working though!? I just can't see anything, except the partial updates in the taskbar.

jim, two guestions for you:
-windows version?
-screen size?

migthyOne,
it should work without the place for wkix as it should work ok for that part should work on all versions of wkix.
what comes to inst, it has to be improved anyway but missing endifs, that I must see right a way when I get to my laptop (if I get up from bed in the morning that will be in 5 hours),

anyway, thanks for the help, I really want to make this work.

it's not for regular users but for the ones who monitor the bb all the time.
like you can see from the boost in my posting rate, it can be usefull for all.
and it helps newbies to get answer.

actually got wild idea...
make a compination package of bbcodeparser and checker...

anyway, keep the feedback coming, that's only way it can be made usefull and working for most of us.

regards

have to get more indepth into this...

jim,
are you using resolution lower than 1024...
cause i haven't tried it with 800x600.
I thought my laptops sceen is the lowest kixcer can get...
and it's only 14"!
and only thing I can think now is that your resolution is lower. the problem is that in some cases it uses in width argument somethin like 770 from the start...

any help and info you can give me on this is more than important.

and because I'm sure you will provide that some day, I'll thank you before hand...

also, I want to thank again bryce.
he has been pretty quiet lately but he is really important member of kixcommunities, specially this one!

Hey.. Lonkero

Very COOL! [Cool]

Is there a way to have it STAY ON TOP or at least not minimize to the task bar?

Jooel,

Suggestion: Add in a piece to look at "today's active topics?"

Thanks!

Jim, try "re-registering" the kixforms.dll that ships as part of Lonkeros package ... the one in %programfiles%\bbchecker ...

kent, I thought it is somewhat the same as history.
active topics anyway is not usable as it flushes itself at 00:00.
better way would be to use 24hour frame.
I can think of creating such stuff... in next release (.0.1?) probably...

anyway, all the stuff here has been implemented and even the minimize thing, it's not needed anymore. before needed it to get the slider to work somehow, but now it I just removed the auto-mini code.
what comes to sticky on-top, not possible.

anyway, running tests now and if all looks good, will popup new RC at the time most of you are eating breakfast...

ok, don't know why it does this, but removed the minicode and now, after slider, the main-form get's broken.
I have nothing else to blame than one tiny dll.
can't get this, it's running in separate process and stil it affects the other one????
shawn?

I put the code avail in sources if ye want to look at what I'm talking about.

just fantasy.
shawn, can your dll be used by two scripts simultaneously?
it just keeps killing the main script.
for, exploration check the files in source dir.

Two scripts at the same time - hmmm - theoretically yes - depends quite a bit though - would have to study your latest and greatest version of BBChecker. Depends on if your "spawning" off a new script (seperate thread) or if your just calling a a script. If your calling a script - should work just fine. But I have to come up to speed on what your doing ... will download latest version asap ...

the method is same as in rc2.
call other kix process.
it worked fine until I removed show(2) before the calling.

Jooel,

Sorry for taking so long to get back; My res is at 1152X864. I'll play with other res's and get back to you.

Shawn,

I that's the first thing that I thought of since I was using the alpha version. It doesn't seem to change anything though... [Frown]
