Digital Point Spy

Do you have posts/threads/etc. in the dp_spy table?

That is a big no. Where is the dp_spy table located?

 

[digitalpoint]

In your xenforo database (same place as your normal xf_* tables).

got this installed on two sites both running xf1.1.0 one works perfectly, on the other i get rows in the database ok but nothing on screen
the other is giving an error 500
GET http://www.bmwcarforums.com/spy/feed?last=0&r=0.5088378019989139
500 Internal Server Error

 

[digitalpoint]

Are the both on the same physical server?

yup

 

[daveb]

ah I have just checked my other site (iqboosterz) and that is the same as well i.e. Error 500 ?

 

[digitalpoint]

Any chance you would have access to the apache logs to see what the underlying error is caused by? I've seen some servers overly protective, and they block things like requests with the word "feed" in them thinking it's some sort of attack.

was able to fix the json-errors, they come up when special characters show up and htmlentities isn't properly set to use UTF8. Changing all to

..."' . htmlentities($item['...'],null,'UTF-8') . '">...

in /library/DigitalPointSpy/ControllerPublic/Spy.php (4 times) should work.

Any chance you can add a timestamp into it somewhere? Maybe switch Who/Where to Who/Where/When and use XenForo's relative timestamps to display when it was done?

added this manually now to /library/DigitalPointSpy/ControllerPublic/Spy.php, maybe anyone else can use it as inspiration:
find

            $item['forum_url'] = ($item['node_id'] > 0 ? XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('forums', array('node_id' => $item['node_id'], 'title' => $item['forum_title'])) : '');

and after add

$item['date2'] = XenForo_Locale::dateTime($item['date'], 'absolute');

next place 'date2' whereever you like

            <h3>' . $validActions[$item['action']] . '</h3>
            <span class="timedatespy">' . $item['date2'] . '</span>

Oh yeah... I forgot to package up and upload the version with the fix. lol I guess I should do that soon (maybe later today if I have some time).

 

[ankurs]

this doesn't take into account ignores, can you add this into it ?

 

[digitalpoint]

Uploaded the 1.0.4 version which hopefully should take care of the weird UTF-8 issues

this doesn't take into account ignores, can you add this into it ?

Maybe someday... not planned in the short-term though.

Is there an easy way to wrap the navbar link for "Spy" in a conditional, so that only certain groups can see//use it?

Would love an answer to this please

I suspect it has been added using a hook, so that won't be possible.

 

[Stevebullman]

I really like this add on, I hope my site is busy enough to warrant it someday

Oh dear..that is not good news Thanks Brogan.

sorry but i still run into UTF8 errors with 1.0.4.

Do you have an example string (like thread title) that it's not working with?

 

[high1976]

sure,
Ö Ö Ü Ü Ä Ä #//%&"§$%§"$ )()"§$(/)"($

once given htmlentities the correct charset, this title is working fine with 1.0.4.

..."' . htmlentities($item['...'],null,'UTF-8') . '">...

 

[digitalpoint]

Okay... think I got it fixed for real this time. Was going to rely on the Zend_Filter_HtmlEntities class, but whatever... I'm over it now. lol

couldn't you just apply a class of ignored to the item, as a simple short fix?
{xen:if $ignored, 'ignored'}
