Feature Wishlist Thread
these are just some of the features i would love to have in this program, just maybe to give you some ideas (maybe some of these functions already exist) and some current workaround ideas


automatic group inviting
-say i create a group i would like to be able to use the invite group feature. i would use a macro program to do it but the way to boxes are set up it moves the list to the top after every click to send an invite. this works on event invites becuase they dont limit the number that can be sent at once. group invites however only let you do 25 at once.

-automatic event invites
-currently to do this i use winmacro (freeware) to automate the repetetive clicking. it really slows down after you add 300 or so people to the invite list so multiple manual passes are required for the best speed. it would be great to have a script to do this automatically.

-search current friends by zip code
-this would allow us to target a specific location without wasting valuable comment limits. great for posting upcoming shows and what not. it should store the friends zips in a cache file as well so you can update that and not interfere with the main friend cache. probably my most desired feature. this way messages could also be restriced by zip radius.

-automatic group topic posting
-a great way to increase exposure without the action limit cap. im not sure but this might captcha at some point but i have not encountered it yet.

-automatic group join
-a quick easy way to get in a multitude of groups at once and thus increase exposure.

-send message after friend request
-i already have this functionality in eekadder pro but it would be nice to dump the gui approach and also eek costs $50 bucks +. (again grant thank you for your great contribution)

anyone else have any ideas??

-search current friends by zip code How would you suggest finding the zip code for each friend?

Re: Feature Wishlist Thread
im not sure but there has to be a way...if you can browse via zipcode you should be able to correlate that data to a specific profile. it might be terribly complex maybe even a drawn out process but once you have the zip it is cached than a function can call from that.

Re: Feature Wishlist Thread
Get "Top 8 Friends"
* Maybe a bit time-consuming, but do-able.

Modify "Top 8 Friends"
* This should be easy enough. After all, the "Drag-and-Drop" interface just generates a comma-delimited list for a GET.

Randomize "Top 8 Friends"
* A basic one would be helpful, but a configurable one would be quite useful. That would mean storing some persistent options somewhere. What would be the preferred method for that?
* * Per-user settings:
* * * require - must be on the top list.
* * * deny - must not be on the top list.
* * * weight - preference to be selected.
* * * allow-repeat (implied by require) - may be on the list twice in a row.

Re: Feature Wishlist Thread
hey, i needed some code to get the top 8 friends for something i was doing.... ended up just grabbing them from the users homepage


check out the code....
$url = "http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user"; dbg (" Getting top 8 friends for $sender...\n"); $res=$myspace->get_page( $url ); $offset = index($res->content,"My Friend Space"); $content = substr($res->content,$offset) ; my @top8list = $myspace->get_friends_on_page( $content ); dbg (" Got top 8 friends\n");


it also works with people who have modified their 'top friends' and changed theyre option to have top 4, 8, 12, or 16..... it works with all 4 options, just grabs all your 'top friends' and sticks them in an array.


i still have no clue how to CHANGE the top friends tho... heh, havent tried yet :P
