Title: Random Topic Button
Post by: calcdude84se on May 15, 2011, 01:30:52 pm: I doubt this will ever get implemented, but just a random feature request that came to me: could there be a button that takes one to a random unread topic?
I'm only asking because I think it would make browsing new posts more interesting ;D

Post by: ruler501 on May 15, 2011, 03:00:12 pm: That sounds good but complicated to make.
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: Darl181 on May 15, 2011, 03:54:31 pm: Well, all it would have to do would be make an omniurl.tk with a random number after it, up to however many topics there are, then check if a) the person's permitted to read it (staff section, etc.) and b) if it's unread.
Then it would somehow get the message number, and bam.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 15, 2011, 06:16:09 pm: I fear this would only increase necroposting... :/
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: calcdude84se on May 15, 2011, 06:59:51 pm: Okay then, random unread topic that's less than 2 weeks old :P
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: ruler501 on May 15, 2011, 07:04:17 pm: It sounds like a good idea. It would just be very hard to implement. You'd have to check when the last post was if the user had read it and find a random thread to do that in.
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 15, 2011, 07:35:48 pm: Yeah it would be hard. D:
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: Deep Toaster on May 15, 2011, 07:38:31 pm: It'd actually be pretty simple if we had an RSS feed for the newest posts.
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: z80man on May 15, 2011, 07:44:54 pm: It should also check to see if a topic is locked or not too. But I would think that it should allow different sections to be randomized in because I might not want to see a random topic in the pixel art sub forum for example
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 17, 2011, 11:45:29 pm: Yeah true. I myself, for example, do not pay much attention to many hardware or math threads.

Also, if that was added, it would take someone to code it too :P

I thought omnimaga has an rss feed of sorts, i can view new posts through opera mail.
The random topic button is a good one but not good for randomising the whole forum. There must be some system of segmenting which topics to randomise and which to not.

EDIT:???
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: Jonius7 on May 18, 2011, 05:40:38 am: So here's a screenshot of the rss from omnimaga working in action:
Might be useful

To activate this in opera there should be a rss icon at the very right of the address bar when you're on the omnimaga page.
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: Deep Toaster on May 18, 2011, 09:33:32 am: Hmm, can you find the address? If we have an RSS feed getting a random new post would be too easy.
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: Jonius7 on May 18, 2011, 08:31:14 pm: Yes i found it!
http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=ad96e8b528beaf626b653a225157688f&type=rss;action=.xml
works in firefox too but opera has the handy button in the address bar
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: Deep Toaster on May 18, 2011, 10:10:12 pm: Thanks, and done!

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

Feel free to steal the script:

Quote from: PHP
$feed = new DOMDocument();
$feed->load('http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss2');
header('Location: ' . $feed->getElementsByTagName('guid')->item(rand(0,4))->nodeValue);

The problem is that http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss only shows the last five posts (so any "random post" is within the last five, which isn't really random). Anybody find a longer version?

EDIT: Update here (http://ourl.ca/11024/210159)
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: ruler501 on May 18, 2011, 10:11:27 pm: this is only going to the random topic page(the last one posted in). I'll try it later after someones posted in a different topic and see if it still does the same thing.
EDIT:nvm It just was chance it went to the same one twice the third time it went somewhere else.
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: Deep Toaster on May 18, 2011, 10:18:15 pm: Hello hello, figured it out!

It now goes to one of the last 100 topics posted in.

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

Again, feel free to use this:

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

EDIT: Update here (http://ourl.ca/11024/214191)
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: ruler501 on May 18, 2011, 10:19:04 pm: can you make it so it checks if that last post was by the user because I don't really wan to go to a topic I was the last to post in
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: Deep Toaster on May 18, 2011, 10:24:34 pm: Picky, picky <_< J/k.

Maybe later. Author isn't stored in the RSS feed, so I'd have to find a way to get the author name by actually making the script parse the topic page.
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: ruler501 on May 18, 2011, 10:53:31 pm: 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

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 20, 2011, 12:54:09 am: Hmm it would be nice if it listed the topic title instead of redirecting or something, although it would slow down the forums I think, if done via JS.

Post by: calcdude84se on May 20, 2011, 01:01:46 am: Yay Deep for working on this. :D
It doesn't seem from your description that it takes you to an unread topic (not the same as a topic you weren't the last to post in ;)), though. For that, though, it'd have to be a mod on the forum or a personal script, since that would require reading the logged-in user's browser cookie to be able to authenticate and get data as them.
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 20, 2011, 01:29:51 am: TYeah I think it would have to be a PHP mod, since it would also integrate itself below the posts.

Is the link the one for last 200 and not last post by you?

What link? And what do you mean by that? Both scripts take a random recent post and redirect there, only difference being that the first one only works for the past five posts.

Except that it shows only one of the most recent posts, so people don't necropost ;)

Post by: ruler501 on May 28, 2011, 11:46:53 pm: 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

Post by: Deep Toaster on May 29, 2011, 12:06:48 am: 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 (http://ourl.ca/11024/214312)

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');

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

Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: calcdude84se on May 31, 2011, 12:25:53 am: 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
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: ruler501 on May 31, 2011, 12:26:59 am: It goes to the first unread post
Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: Deep Toaster on June 02, 2011, 11:34:35 pm: 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.

Title: Re: Random Topic Button
Post by: Deep Toaster on June 03, 2011, 11:12:48 am: 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.
