I would like to write a script that will take certain email I receive and auto submit it to mysite. The idea would be for me to drop anually or by filter these mails into a single mailbox and then run a script on the mailbox. the script would maybe reformat the bodies, but certainly submit the content. My idea is to use LWP to submit the request. Has anyone tried this? Any warnings or hints before I proceed? Thanks, Barry |

I know someone wrote a script to read mbox format files and shove them into a Slash site. -Brian -- _______________________________________________________ Brian Aker, br...@ta...

If you have ever caught yourself busily modifying templates here and there, and don't know which ones you modified, and which you didn't, here's a script that may help. All it does is read the current directory, looking for templates. Then it goes looking for those templates in the virtual user specified. If it finds a match, it dumps the template out of the db. If no match, it does nothing. Most people won't need anything like this, but I did when I was working on a theme and plugin for a site at the same time. I knew I'd modified templates in both. But if I did a template-tool -uvirtname -d it would dump all the templates out, and I would have had to seperate the templates from the theme and plugin by hand. So, with this script: /usr/local/slash/themes/mytheme/templates /usr/local/slash/bin/template-dump -u virtname cd /usr/local/slash/plugins/myplugin/templates /usr/local/slash/bin/template-dump -u virtname And now all the templates for both were now up to date with what's running online. Grab the script if you want: <URL: http://www.lottadot.com/files/template-dump.txt > Include it into Slash if you want, or take it's bit of code and put it into the tempate-tool, or ignore this whole message. Thoough if you do use it, or find it convenient, please let me know :) Shane |

I could do that, but I still need to manually enter the section and the topic for most of these messages. So I plan on still having to approve them via admin.pl. As I see which ones are predictable, I can refine the process and dump some directly in the DB, but that feels risky to start with in my case (not risky to code, risky to get the story details wrong). But I still think it will be a huge time saver. Barry |
