libanbn / bb-discord-announcer Goto Github PK

Heya,

Is this still up? A readme.md and other documentation in setting this up would be great. This looks super interesting and it would be really helpful for students like me who use BB.

Thanks a lot! ☺

See https://github.com/PersonligFrelser/bb-discord-announcer/blob/7fd4ca0dc520b77bb851fd3d36fd394b05f051db/src/main/java/app/command/CommandManager.java#L34-L36

Should contain all information about where to start, how to setup and how to run the application.

Discord links for the development server appear to have expired. Is this project still in development?

It should list announcements from (,top to bottom,) oldest to newest

This way people can add a predefined bot to discord server and configure it from there using commands?

The DOM elements from where the announcement is gathered from does not include who pushed the announcement.

See https://github.com/PersonligFrelser/bb-discord-announcer/blob/ab591697245451970e736f9c86a53e80f2fbb20c/src/main/java/app/NtnuBlackboardScraper.java#L125

The exception occurs here:
// FEIDE requires pressing the submit button after submission (because of javscript issues) client.waitForBackgroundJavaScript(5000); page = ((HtmlSubmitInput) page.getElementById("postLoginSubmitButton")).click();

I believe this is because blackboard has removed the id on the button as shown below:
<button type="submit" class="button-primary breathe-top">Logg inn</button>

Have a list containing all the courses the user wants to retrieve announcements from

This to "prevent" spam

Every time the bot is done taking all the announcement from BB, it pushes the update to DiscordBot.java including the announcements already sent on previous announcement fetch. It is only supposed to send unread announcements and discard the rest.

The scraper needs to wait for the javascript on Blackboard to fully execute, making the whole application wait a long time
