Dominatez, have you tried loading the json package?

Seems to me, you don't have the json package loaded, try the following.

If you have ROOT, do, sudo apt-get install tcl tcl-dev

if Not, https://core.tcl-lang.org/tcllib/dir?ci ... me=modules

And find json

then pop that json.tcl in your eggdrop scripts directory,
and put source scripts/json.tcl into your eggdrop.conf

Hope this helps

Do you have a link to a working version of

OLD Version of TLS package installed please update to 1.7.11+

As i keep getting the following error.

Tcl error [m00nie::news::search]: invalid command name "json::many-json2dict"

UPDATE : Updated My Box to Ubuntu 19.10 today, and still no Joy. Still showing the same error.

Don't know if this will help you.

Hi shahrul

There are some hopefully commented to be clear variables near the top of the script to control the throttle timers. Just change those to what suits you
Updating with new news migjt be more than a little noisy but I'll have a look and see how that might work
Cheers

v2.2 adds the option to set a default location and will use that if no per user location is saved (just comment out the setnews line to stop people doing that )
Realised i didn't share a link for anyone else but https://www.m00nie.com/news-script-for-eggdrop-bot/

Only default source

2020-04-03T09:01:55-04:00

Hopefully all fixed in v2.1 ....

Yes, you did a great job thanks! The script works!

But there is a question as the bad users always have.
I don't want let the users to choose the source but I want to set a default source in the script (for example: gb) and everyone get the news on this language what to change?

Thanks and I promise this is my last question.

Hopefully all fixed in v2.1 ....V2 was.... not great (I think the technical term is utter [censored] I didn't test fully or at all for some cases)....

I hadn't actually realised that the V2 API is more geographically based than specific news source. V2.1 reflects that and now reports latest stories in a country

Variable

2020-04-02T12:37:05-04:00

Hey m4s
New update (2.0) moved to the new API and 'sorted' the TLS errors I hope due to the move to cloudflare and need for SNI plus my TLS config seems a bit old/rubbish for more modern Https
Hopefully all good now
Cheers

Hi m00nie!

Tcl error [m00nie::news::source]: can't read "ALL": no such variable

Hi,

The script: https://pastebin.com/mi2trB9t

I would like to use this script but when I try to set a page as a source - for example !setnews Thesun.co.uk - I get this error message in DCC:
Tcl error [m00nie::news::source]: error flushing "sock55a54eafc0f0": software caused connection abort

Can someone have a look?

Thanks a lot!
