I was able to get the latest version, as modified by Trixar_za to parse the RSS feed rather than HTML, to work with some minor modifications since the astrology.com site now forces redirects to HTTPS:

https://pastebin.com/i5bz1cvW

Seems to work well now for the time being.

This is no longer working.

could anyone add flood protection on this script? maybe incith's aka bseens flood protection? like, the same protection other incith* scripts have maybe?

I get some 10 year old brats who enjoy botnet-triggering it so, yeah, that would be aswesome

the feeds need to be updated
i got mine working again by changing:

Code:

    # valid, set our url    set input(url) "http://feeds.astrology.com/dailyoverview"    foreach sign [split ${incith::horoscope::en_chinese} " "] {      if {$input(query) == $sign} {        set input(url) "http://feeds.astrology.com/dailychinese"        break      }    }

to this

Code:

    # valid, set our url    set input(url) "http://www.astrology.com/horoscopes/daily-horoscope.rss"    foreach sign [split ${incith::horoscope::en_chinese} " "] {      if {$input(query) == $sign} {        set input(url) "http://www.astrology.com/horoscopes/daily-chinese.rss"        break      }    }

This horoscope script stopped working. It has been repeating the same old horoscope a few days now but the website is showing new ones each day. Anyone else?

If you really want my advice about this, then I would suggest reading this article about TCL: http://antirez.com/articoli/tclmisunderstood.html

Next try looking at simple scripts and try figuring out how they work. Eggdrop adds a whole host of it's own commands and syntax which requires some getting used to.

Start by figuring out how they work, then try modifying the code to work like you want it to. Complicated scripts that don't follow normal programming logic is best (like some stats scripts), then take everything you learned from that and write a completely original script from scatch. That's how I did it.

Hi Trixar,

just wanted to say thanks a lot for fixing this, it helped me out today.

Really appreciate your work helping the TCL scripting community. By the way, i want to start to learn TCL myself, can you give me any pointers on where to go to start?

thanks in advance,

Achilles

The reason I'm asking here first is because this to see if there is any interest for such a script and secondl, maybe people should choose what they want in there first

Sounds like a lot of neat functionality, but I don't think personally I would use it. I just use the astrology script kind of as a laugh or when no one is talking to start conversations.

I can think of some other cool websites that would be fun to grab RSS feeds and other stuff off of though...

But, thanks for updating this nonetheless!

I'm thinking of expanding this script a bit to include some of the other feeds provided by http://www.astrology.com/rss

Just with the daily horoscopes you get dailyoverview, dailyquickie, dailyextended, dailyastroslam (one of my favorites), dailysinglelove, dailycoupleslove, dailyflirt, dailyteenhoroscope, dailybeautyscope, dailybabyscope, dailycatscope, dailydogscope and dailyhomeandgarden which all use a similar feed format, while dailygayscope, dailyfoodscope, dailylesbianscope, dailyfinancescope, dailygreenscope and dailymomscope use a different layout, which the script can probably be adjusted for. There is also weekly and monthly feeds (although, luckly less than the daily ones).
