Introduction

Well, this is my first sockets script

It gets the latest review from http://hawkee.com/shop/reviews/ or searches for a review in http://hawkee.com/shop/search/search+text/reviews/

All the other scripts return snippets, and no one else made one for reviews, so I took a whack at it.

Syntax: [/reviews | !reviews] <search text>

<search text> is optional

Examples:

/reviews � echo's latest Hawkee review
!reviews � msg's latest Hawkee review
/reviews plasma tv � echo's results for "plasma tv"
!reviews mp3 player black � msg's results for "mp3 player black"

Here's some screens:

It's a little slow for getting the latest review, so be patient! So people don't flood !reviews thinking it's not working, it will message/echo "Please wait until the search has been completed" if the script is in the middle of grabbing a review.

It returns the top three review results. To change the number of results it gives, change "if (%N == 3) {" to whatever number you want it to return.

Enjoy

  set %hawk.chan $chan

Pretty neat. I think we'll have to offer an RSS feed of Hawkee member reviews. That would make this much faster.

You should modify this to take a search query. The URL format works like this:

http://www.hawkee.com/shop/search/mp3+player/reviews/

http://www.hawkee.com/shop/search/42in+hdtv/reviews/

This is very nice for your first sockets script! Not to mention, a new idea. :P However, since it is a little slow, you should implement a flood protection. Someone could flood this and lag you out.

Thanks guys

I made it so that if you trigger it (/reviews or !reviews) while the socket is already open, it'll say "Please wait until the search has been completed" and doesn't start over.

Updated it so that you can search through the reviews too. The searching is a LOT faster than getting the latest.

Syntax: [/reviews|!reviews] <search text>

Ex:

/reviews � echoes latest review
!reviews � msg's latest reviews
/reviews nintendo wii � echoes search for "nintendo wii"
!reviews mp3 player black � msg's search for "mp3 player black"

Nice upgrade. Searching is faster because the latest review page is very server intensive; plus searching for reviews is more useful anyway. And thanks for the flood protection because that protects the site from being hammered.

Updated the parsing with regex and made all variables %h.something so i can just do /unset %h.*

%h is a pretty major variable, try %hawk.* or something.
Also, your regexes are incorrect.
You need a starting / and an ending /

and you also need to exclude /, by using \/

I did :|

Quote:

if ($regex(%x,/No reviews are available for this section yet./i)) {
if ($regex(%x,/<a href='(/shop/review.php?r_id=d+)' class='large'>(.+)</a>/i)) {
if ($regex(%x,/class='product'>(.+)</a><br>/i)) {

Quote:

I did have the backslashes originally, and it seemed to stay when i submitted, but then they disappeared i guess. Hopefully they stay there now.

Updated:
* Works with the new site layout
* Includes the rating that the person gave the product
* Now gives the top three results; change if (%N == 3) to however many results you want
