Neopets alerts

[Slasher]

Anyone would be interested in neopets alerts? Like snowager, turmaculus, deadly dice, illusen avatar, etc.? Like the alerts on sunnyneo/jellyneo. It could be useful.

[Ashleys165]

I think people do that in the neopets chat.

[John]

theres boards for that.

[J_L_K_64]

while we do have those boards, i think they were meaning a site alert for it, so you wouldn't have to go looking for the thread, but i don't really like this idea either way, i mean, most of them are time based, so all ya gotta do is remember the times

[Joshsadf]

Can automate it into the forum, would decrease multiple people posting about it.

[J_L_K_64]

but we want the posts? makes the forum that much more active?

[Joshsadf]

Not if they are the same 10 times for the same alert.

That would be spam.

And if people are doing their jobs, should be deleted anyways.

Therefore no posts.

[J_L_K_64]

actually the 10 posts won't be deleted, unless they are all at once, those 10 posts could be from like 10 days, one a day, which wouldn't be spam..........

Just saying.

[Slasher]

Sure it's making posts, but mostly spam in my opinion.

[J_L_K_64]

the same alert does happen once a day, therefore, there could be 10 posts over 10 days for the same alert (the alert for snowager for example would count as one alert)

[Joshsadf]

Hold on.

Lemme put it this way.

Same alert.

For the same time.

On the same day.

On the same site (neopets.com, just incase you're confused)

[Slasher]

Their could be alerts for snowager/turmac/deadly dices only?

[J_L_K_64]

there ya go, be specific when you wanna argue, otherwise your message never gets across


anyways back to the topic, i still think a site wide alert is a bad idea, but it's really joes' descision

[Zachafer]

What if no one posts the alert? Then the script would be doing it's job. A script is definitely better than relying on someone to post alerts.

Infamous Joe let me know if you need help writing alerts (I know PHP ain't your thang)

[Joshsadf]

Don't see how I was arguing.

You were clearly confused. So I fixed that.

[Ryan~]

I wrote some PHP to do this a long time ago when I owned Jhudorascurse.com. It has images and everything. If I can find it, I'll show you.

[maxxine]

I like this Idea lol

It's not pretty, but that's okay. Only does Snowager and Deadly Dice atm.

I think Slasher was more thinking about them popping up at the top of the forum.

[Ryan~]

That could always be arranged if Joe wants the code. It's easily one simple function.

If $time is between THIS and THIS{
SNOWAGER RWR GO VISIT ME
}
else if($time is between THIS AND THIS){
RAWR DEADLY DICE GO VISIT ME
}

[yamakracker]

Wooo, I support this too
Too lazy to checkin' anything these days D:

Also, everyone I suggest using Zachafer 's PHP daily doer.

Snowager:

function canSnowager()
{
$snowHours = array(6, 14, 22);
date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');
return in_array(date('G'), $snowHours);
}

if(canSnowager()) echo '<script>alert("Snowager is sleeping!");</script>';

[Ryan~]

Even more compact and correct ^^^
