Jim, 2010/2/26 Jim Henderson <jhenderson@novell.com>:

Looking in the admin interface, it looks pretty straightforward to set up a feed; it's not a custom bot, but part of the admin functionality in vBulletin.  We'd need to create a forum for the feed to feed into and the URL to the XML doc that provides the RSS feed.

We could test this in the sandbox and then reset it for a public feed view.

Actually that's exactly what I'm planning to do as soon as we thought the "hack-possibilities" to auto-merge the thread whole through. Grabbing the feed and posting doesn't seem to be an issue, providing RSS with Hermes is fine as well. Remaining and most important now is to investigate the re-opening/merging of subsequent threads related to one single article "foobar" All, vBulletin doc is at http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/ Best, R

According to http://www.vbulletin.com/ this is a commercial product, I cannot even download the documentation... So we need the technical forums admin to do that.

I just got notice from Kim that he's rather unavailable these days due to too much on the plate atm. That said, I'll ask him about the forumsbot configuration capabilities in a private conversation and forward the answers to you. Also I try to get the vBulletin documentation we need from him. Furthermore I herewith CC: the rest of the admin team in order to ask for their involvement. Please keep the CC: as is. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Forums admins,

we need some help/input regarding the FlaggedRevs Wiki QA, i.e. the configuration capabilities of the RSS forumsbot. Kim is rather busy these days, so I'm wondering if you, Carl, John, Jim would be able to jump in as an interim replacement?

In order to sync up with the current discussion, please read this thread [1]

Thanks, R
