Re: sending new nodes and replies per email

You can write it pretty simply yourself, cron a fetch to private message xml ticker, then fetch the node if it's from root... also check newest nodes xml generator :)

sure, but wouldn't it be more effective if the perlmonk server sends an email now and then instead of many users polling the site frequently ? BTW: The xml generator just threw an error, id: 9497991b65983 ---- kurt	[reply]

Send a mail to all monks if there was a new node or run an hourly cron job to fetch the newest nodes... /me thinks (statistically) fewer monks would use the XML fetching method and that it would therefor generate less traffic. Just a guess :) Ask someone from pmdev about that error... Greetz Beatnik ...Perl is like sex: if you're doing it wrong, there's no fun to it.	[reply]
