SMFNotify

Announce new threads and posts in a Simple Machines Forum instance by sending HTTP requests to a configurable webhook endpoint.

Usage

SMFNotify is intended to be invoked regularly, for example as a cron job executed every five minutes.

Each invocation fetches the feed, looks for new entries, and calls the webhook for each one before exiting.

A configuration file is mandatory to run it:

sh $ smfnotify --config config_example.toml

An example configuration file is included as config_example.toml and looks like this:

```toml feedurl = "https://forum.example.com/index.php?action=.xml;type=atom" feedcookievalue = "" feedmaxnewentries = 5

lastprocessedidfilename = "lastprocessed_id"

webhooktexttemplate = "{author} posted to forum: \"{title}\" - <{url}>" webhook_url = "http://127.0.0.1:8080/" ```

To obtain the cookie value, log in to the forum, then use your web browser's debugger or an extension to look up the cookie named SMFCookie10.
