java.util.TimerTask

tigase.server.ssender.SenderTask

tigase.server.ssender.DrupalForumTask

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

public class DrupalForumTask
extends SenderTask

DrupalForumTask implements tasks for cyclic retrieving new posts on selected Drupal forum. It detects both new forum topics and new comments for forum topics. Then it can sends this to one selected JID. Thus it should be used toghether with StanzaReceiver task which can distribute this informatin to all interested (subscribed) users.

You have to specify forum ID for monitoring in connection string as well as destination JID where forum posts have to be sent. It is not very useful to send post to just one person so to ditribute forum posts to biger number of users this task should be paired with StanzaReceiver task which can distribute it to all interested users. Sample connection string:

jdbc:mysql://localhost/tigasedb?user=tigase&password=pass&forum=3&jid=nick@domain.com
