new checker beta for the diehards

indeed, this is not safe and stable for regular users to try out, but the moderators...
have one successfull HD destroy with my installers IIRC [Big Grin]
so, you boys can try out the beta7:
http://www.gwspikval.com/jooel/scripts/bbChecker/devel/

changes:
- setup does not anymore use web-installation.
with this ensured lot faster install and for later additions to installer code, this is the easier way
- setup did unregister kixforms.dll used by setup even though
- fixed about 1000 other setup bugs (spent about 15 hours fixing it)
- updated slider code (uses lot less processor power)
pat, note, your code is incompatible

yet there is lot to fix.
anyways, now we have a new shiny thread to hear your complaints [Big Grin]

Re: new checker beta for the diehards

new QF:
-fixed pm opening in IE always (even with send)
-reduced processor usage
-fixed a syntax error in pm.kix

boys, what about history being collected per thread (latest post) instead of per post?

Re: new checker beta for the diehards

Jooel,

Looks good.

Like how it now activates on the taskbar when launched..

The exit and settings buttons are too close to the edge. Obviously, not a "show stopper."

To check:
  • Parsing off number in topic - more than one reply
  • Taskbar activation - Fixed
  • Pre-Load Korg list - Fixed
  • How difficult would this be to use say on - http://www.vhforums.com ? As this is another UBB site.
Thanks,
Kent

Re: new checker beta for the diehards

preload korg-list?
hmm, should I know what that means??? [Big Grin]

what comes to vhforums, I already had a code to drive that but it's not in these beta's.
like said already, these betas basically are nothing but finetuning the installer [Wink]

Re: new checker beta for the diehards

What happened to the 'buddies' and 'history' buttons ?

You don't want us having a form that big on Desktop without being able to minimize, do you ?

It also seems that you tweaked with the border between 6 and 8.

oh, the windowstyle (for the header/caption field) does indeed affect the layout/borders a little.

Re: new checker beta for the diehards

I figured it out..

You have 5 zeros - 00000

It should be something like 5 zeros and the number 000009.

f.e.
;f=13;t=000679#000009

Noticed something with PowerMenu - when you "tray" the BBChecker program, the icon does not follow it.

OK..

here is where the issues is > PARSE.UDF (Note: the test code) -

code:
 BREAK ON 
CLS
; $str='0000'
; FOR $i=1 TO 100
; $li=len($i)
; $n=substr($str,len($i),len($str))
; $n=$n+$i
; SLEEP '0.5'
; ?$n
; NEXT

$org="http://www.kixtart.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?"
$data="http://www.kixtart.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=13&t=000679#000012"

$data=substr($data,instr($data,"http://www.kixtart.org/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;"))
$data=split($data,'<td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top" bgcolor="#dedfdf" align="left">')[0]
$=split($data,"http://www.kixtart.org/board/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic")
$_pa=$[ubound($)]
;$_pa=$org+"ubb=get_topic"+left($_pa,instr($_pa,'">')-1)
;$=split(split($[1],'</a>')[0],'>')[1]
;$data=split($data,'</font>')
$data=$data[ubound($data)]
$data=substr($data,instrrev($data,chr(10))+1)
$parse=$_pa+"#"+right("00000$data",6),$

?$parse

GET $

Do not use BBChecker with PowerMenu - it seems to kill it off straight away. Have not tried WatchCat..

Re: new checker beta for the diehards

Ok..

Breaking this down..

In the parse.udf file..

Line 53 -
code:
 $parse=$_pa+"#"+right("00000$data",6),$

Maybe it needs to be -
code:
 $parse=$_pa+"#"+right("000000"+$$data",6),$

Or -

code:
 $parse=$_pa+"#"+right("000000"+$data",6),$

?

If we go back and look at 1.6 code (i know it has changed), we see -

code:
$parse=$,right("00000$data",6)

that line indeed gives the output but the problem is not even near to it.
the problem is in the $data string.
it's empty.

Re: new checker beta for the diehards

been monitoring the bandwidth used by checker and think I need to recheck the way info is retrieved...

if anyone has any idea...
I remember someone telling about reducing the scans on some forums but that can't be done as the scan is not by forums but via changes log.

Re: new checker beta for the diehards

I just tried to go back to the old, with show/hide's on the form.
it's not happening.
if I leave the caption header for moving the form, the sizes get weird.
for small form, the header takes 20-25 pixels but when I show history or buddies it suddenly seems to take 40 or so. [Eek!]
not sure, but seems that it does not like resizing.

Jooel:

Another idea for the new BBChecker version:

The ability to selectively delete a thread in topic list. Thus, if one answers in a specific topic, that topic can then be deleted in the list.

was.
removed in current slider.
forgot to add it back to buddabing udf [Wink]

anyway, in next beta it most likely is back to slider.kix but it's name might change.
could be "notify.kix"

Re: new checker beta for the diehards

patty-boy...
I'm currently using 1.7 beta 1 at work and this seems to be the best working update.
it still has problems with some page retrieval but think 1.7 is the thing we need to see next.

the plans for 3.0 have changed so much that I need to re-organize the planning table and see what on it will be trashed.

anyway, seems that before korg server gets an "upgrade" all the changes in 3.0 is not possible.
also, it will most-likely relay on overheating MSN networks to keep the korg-server load lower.
the face of 3.0 is still undetermined and if someone would like to get a project to code a nice GUI, go ahead.
and btw, the new 2.3.0 should be able to handle checker lot better so the GUI coding will be easy with all hide/show stuff (currently a pain in the a*se)

oh. to get a basta-rank, you would need to participate in one of the meetings to be approved [Razz]
