I poked together a mod that sends a message via RSS when someone logs
into the bbs. Now that I have that completed, I will probably add
logoff message. Also, send to email instead of RSS maybe. Who knows..

I'm not sure how useful it is really, but I was curious how it would be
done.

Here is one problem though, if I set post access to level 90,
the script can't post to the sub. Is there a way to assign scripts
access levels? I'm not sure if I've seen a script do that.

Thanks,

Require a flag, have the script set the flag, make the post, then clear
the flag.. ;)

RSS is a "pull" technology, so I'm not really sure what you mean by "sends a message via RSS".

There's nothing in MsgBase.save_msg() that checks the user user's security level, so I'm confused. What method are you using to try and post to the sub? What's the error, exactly?

Err.. rather then it posts to the sub and then is retrieved by RSS. :)

Well I guess it was a bug in my script because it seems to be working
fine. Must be the drain bamage. SOrry. :o

Actually it started working, so I guess my script just was doing
something wrong. PEBKAC. :)

However, that is a good idea I can use in the script or in general.

Thanks!
