Hi and in a previous discussion I wrote a bot that created informational text articles from the php forum at daniweb. This discussion can be found at http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread200918.html
However I now have another question due to the great success of my bot. Is it possible for to expand the bot to do the same but in additional forums which are limited to the following:
- PHP forum (already done as in discussion)
- HTML/CSS forum
- Javascript/DHTML/Ajax
- Java
So basically the bot will check the rss feeds of those forums then will get from my database 10 day old links and retrieve data from those links. Also I wish for my bot to be able to check the related code snippet rss feeds (to get the links) but not scan the code snippets articles though. Is this ok with the community as I am trying to setup a super knowledge base for all those noobs and you can see what I'm doing by going to this link then go down to the "powered by daniweb" section and type in a search term like "mysql error" (it's very limited at the moment) then the grey box will fill with results. When you click one of the links in the grey box it will load up a bot generated article where the information came from daniweb. So please leave your comments about this here as I am designing this bot to go easy on the daniweb server.
