can you make it so it only goes to the most recent post in the topic. When I keep using it I seem to continuous go to older posts than the latest one

Seems like http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss2 isn't always updated. I'll change it to display the first new post then (the first post in the thread you haven't read).

EDIT: Done.

http://clrhome.co.cc/b/omninew/

Again:

Quote from: PHP
$feed = new DOMDocument();
$feed->load('http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss2;limit=100');
$feed $feed->getElementsByTagName('guid')->item(rand(0,99))->nodeValue;
header('Location: ' . substr($feed, 0, strpos($feed, 'msg')) . 'new#new');

I really love this [php] tag :D

EDIT: Update here

Nice. I guess the rss not being updated is probably due to it updating itself only every few hours or so.

Are you able to get the username of who's going to the page(the user)?
Couldn't you try the parse the new posts page for that? I think that might be easier

Guess I did end up using that. It got really messy, but it means a couple of improvements: it will always be updated (instead of having to wait for the RSS feed to update itself), and you can now choose to avoid your own posts by putting ?avoid=NAME after the URL ;D

http://clrhome.co.cc/b/omninew/?avoid=YOUR+NICK+HERE (http://clrhome.co.cc/b/omninew/?avoid=ruler501 for you, ruler)

Slightly longer this time:

Quote from: PHP
$feed = new DOMDocument();
$feed->loadHTMLFile('http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=5');
$feed $feed->getElementById('block74')->getElementsByTagName('tr');

do
{
    
$item $feed->item(rand(0,99))->childNodes->item(2);
}
while (
strtolower($item->lastChild->previousSibling->nodeValue) == strtolower($_GET['avoid']));

$item $item->firstChild->nextSibling->getAttribute('href');
header('Location: ' . substr($item, 0, strpos($item, 'msg')) . 'new#new');

Thank you for singling me out for this award Deep Thought :). Maybe someone could add a mod to the site that will put this on the forum page or up on the top and auto ad the users name.

EDIT: Deep Thought while clicking around with it I still see it going to posts that aren't at the bottom. Its going to the first post in this topic http://ourl.ca/11156.new#new

EDIT2: it seems to be doing it on other topics also

It goes to the first new post, the first post you haven't read :) It's like with email notifications.

Or host it here. Doesn't really make sense that a random topic script be hosted outside the forum lol

Is it going to the first post after where you last posted in the topic or to the first unread post? (I still need to try it out, so I'm just trying to clarify.)
At any rate, nice! :D

Yep, first unread post. The forum already has a nice feature for that -- http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?topic=####.new#new goes straight there.

That wasn't an actual link. #### stands for the topic number, so it would be http://ourl.ca/11024.new#new for the first new post in this topic.
