_Kurt Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) Hello,After realizing how annoying it was to receive a new email each New Reply in a Topic or New Personal Message, I decided to create a script that will check for that & notify me. This is real handy since sometimes I want to work on scripts and chat on the forum at the same time. I used an MSN-like GUI for the notification, if you click on it, it will navigate you to the latest reply, if you right-click on it, it will close. It seems to work fine, I've tested it out for a while and it's lookin' pretty good. You can keep updated on as many topics as you want so you can work on new projects & post in the forums! This script requires you to already be logged in, if you are receiving errors that you aren't logged in, simply re-log in and try again (this rarely happens). I've also included a Recent Notifications tray menu item incase you were away for a couple of minutes, this will keep you updated on events that have occured i.e. New Notifications, Errors, etc. ( handy when you need a bathroom break ).This script uses one file located at: @TempDir & "\ForumNotification.dat". This file is used to keep track of your settings. Just thought I'd let you guys know, I hate when scripts write files that I am unaware of. To delete this file, click the "Set to Default" button.How exactly does this work? The script records the latest reply on the topic link, and after every X seconds/minutes, it will grab the latest reply and compare it to the original reply. The script only uses _InetGetSource for the internet functions.Please post ANY problems that you experience.I'd also like to hear some improvements & feedback KurtFor those who may receive Msgbox's saying that they are not logged in, try re-logging into the forums and make sure you are logged into IE first.Update 3: [April 2nd]Added Auto-Login & Some Minor fixesUpdate 2: [March 26th]Fixed "Invalid Topic" bug from topics with no repliesUpdate 1: [March 19th]Added option to save your settings.Go ahead and test it! Run the script, post here, and watch the notification window pop up! Edited April 2, 2007 by _Kurt Awaiting Diablo III.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therks Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I get an invalid screen resolution error. Not all of us have the standard 4:3 screen ratio you know. (Widescreen laptop, my screen ratio is 8:5 and my standard resolution is 1280x800). My AutoIt Stuff | My Github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SmOke_N Posted March 19, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 19, 2007 This is weird... I was going to do something like this last week but couldn't find the time. Nice. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

jvanegmond Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 It tells me "I'm not logged in." which confused me at first, but then I realized that this uses IE, and I've never used IE on this computer. So, I'd love it if you could make this ask you for your login/password. github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvanegmond Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I have just tried re logging in Firefox, and login in in IE. No success at all. Still tells me I am not logged in.. github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kurt Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) I have just tried re logging in Firefox, and login in in IE. No success at all. Still tells me I am not logged in..Hmm, try running this small script, don't change any lines. If you get an AU3Check error or a blank msgbox, this means that this won't be able to work. However, if you get a msgbox containing "X New Messages", I know how to fix your problem so we'd be in luck .EDIT: Problem solvedHope it works,Kurt Edited April 2, 2007 by _Kurt Awaiting Diablo III..

jvanegmond Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) That actually gives me an error... I've confirmed that I'm actually not logged in.#include <INet.au3> $login = _INetGetSource("http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/") If @error = 1 Then MsgBox(0,"","Error getting source: " & @error) Else MsgBox(0, "", StringInStr($login,"Welcome Guest")) EndIfGives a message box with a number 51xx. This confirms that I am a Guest. _INetGetSource just sucks...Edit: Upps!!
