Announce of Blog to IRC channel?

Post by soulja »

Has anyone seen or know of a plugin that will announce new posts to an IRC channel via an eggdrop or some other form? If not is there anyone who would be interested in coding one?

thanks in advance!

Hi!

Actually the XMLRPC pinging plugin could do that for you. You'd just need to write a small little server part that takes an XMLRPC ping and performs the eggdrop. I bet there are already XMLRPC-eggdrop implementations out there somehow, so you'd just need to add their URL to the XMLRPC ping ("announce entries") plugin configuration...?

HTH,

You could just use a totally standard rss reader/displayer tcl script for the eggdrop. They are pretty common, and easy to set up. This script will read the rss feed from a site, and display new entires on a predefined interval, or upon request (trigger based, like !yourblog).

I use it, and it works well. Don't remember the name of the tcl script atm, but will look if you can't find one yourself.
