the only problem... (5.00 / 1) (#1)
by hurstdog on Fri Mar 30, 2001 at 05:27:14 PM PST

The only problem I see is people being able to use this to spam sites. I haven't downloaded it and tested it yet though, so it might not be possible. Just one thing to notice.

For all you scoop admins, if you didn't already know, there are a few vars to help control this. If you are using the dev code, they are in the category Post Throttle, if you are not, they are: max_comments_submit, max_stories_submit, rate_limit_minutes, timeout_minutes, and max_timeout. Read their descriptions, and adjust accordingly.

Another thing occurred to me, Smirks, does this handle errors well? Like, if I post a story with 100000 chars in the intro, and the limit on k5 is 3500, will it fail gracefully? or will it just tell me that it posted anyway? Just trying to create more work for ya ;-)

I've made a slight adjustment... (none / 0) (#3)
by Mangan on Sun Apr 01, 2001 at 05:33:31 PM PST

I have no web space to put this up, but if Smirks would give me his/her email address I'd be happy to send my modified code.

Basically, I added a subroutine to check spelling by calling ispell. That should help take care of some of the gross misspellings. Of course, I added an option to the configs so that you can easily turn it off, also.

The spellcheck only occurs after the user says "yes, this is correct", thus we only check spelling once.

This thing is a good idea, and with some time and work could be a very valuable tool.
