ForumReaderLikeMe
What does this do
This plugin reads a topic on a forum of your choose and performs commands when it finds a playername.
Commands
There are no commands for this plugin, this will run in the background.
Usage
That is the nice thing about this plugin. It works pretty much straight out of the box, the only thing that you need to change is the link to the thread to check.
Default config
This is the default configuration:
# Thank you for using this plugin # I will explain some stuff about the configuration # The "Allowed ForumType" is a list that is set by the plugin, every time you change it it will be overridden # The "ForumType" is the type of forum you are using, this is needed for checks in the page system # The "PermaLink" is a link to the thread, preferabiliy a link that won't change # "TimeBetweenChecks" is the time in seconds between every time that the plugin checks the forum # "CheckFor" determines what the plugin will look for, the plugin will append a space to it and then there should the name be # "MinAmountOfPosts" Most forums have the ability to only show posts from page ... or post ... , with this you can put the starting post on a different post, this will decrease lag # "MaxAmountOfPosts" This is a pretty stupid plugin, it will continue checking each post till it hits this number # "Commands" A list of commands that the command is running, playername variable is "%p" # "Added" A list of players that is found already, don't modify this list unless you want to reset the plugin. Allowed ForumType: [] ForumType: MINECRAFTFORUM_NET PermaLink: http://changeme.com TimeBetweenChecks: 300 CheckFor: 'IGN:' MinAmountOfPosts: 0 MaxAmountOfPosts: 1000 Commands: - say Thank you %p for posting your username - money give %p 50 Added: []
Additional notes
This plugin is not ( and will never be ) checking if the player is online. So give commands won't work with this!

I was aiming for a thread that had multiple pages due to the post count.

I'm not sure quite what you mean by multiple pages. Do you mean the forum category with each player making a separate post rather than replying to one thread?
If so, this link is the container category: http://dev.itchy-dog.co.uk/discussions/ask/off-the-leash
Then I made these two test posts: IGN phrase in the post body: http://dev.itchy-dog.co.uk/discussions/forum-reader-test-1
IGN phrase in the subject: http://dev.itchy-dog.co.uk/discussions/ign-crunchy_nerfed

Do you think that you could get a thread with multiple pages? That is actually the only part from what I need that is changing.

That would be great! This is on my dev version of the site that I'm using to test. The live site uses the same forum software so I'll set up a thread there if it's possible to get this working.
The test thread is here: http://dev.itchy-dog.co.uk/discussions/forum-reader-test

There currently only is 1 forum type, the "Allowed ForumType" list is every possible value.
But if you provide me with a link to your thread then I will try to make a forumtype for that

Posted Mar 18, 2014This is a great idea, I'm looking to encourage players to register on my site and post.
I'm just wondering about setting the forum type; I'm using a forum called EasyDiscuss and the default type doesn't seem to work for me. What other forum types are available to try?
Thanks :)
