Posted By: bwr30060 Question about using hyperlink - 30/01/06 04:04 AM
I'm thinking about making a news headline bot using XML and possibly doing something similar with a weather bot. Is it possible to have the bot say a news headline and also have that headline be a clickable link to the Yahoo news story?

yes it is and it is also been done some times.
Here something about rss feed its a snippet and I didn't really read it.
I hope this is something you had in mind.

Thank you for the link. I already have it figured out how to retrieve the data I want. What I'd like to know is if it is possible to have my bot say a news headline in the channel and have that text be a link to the news story on Yahoo. Thanks.

mIRC doesn't support html style links, ie: <a href="www.site.com/page.html">Visit my cool site</a>. You can post a link www.site.com/page.html, and it will be clickable in mIRC, but you can't make other text link to a site. The best you could do is something like this:

<newsbot> Headline: "mIRC is the best IRC program in the world!" Story: www.mirc.com/get.html

The link at the end would be clickable, nothing else would be.

Thanks. I had a feeling that was the case. That will be OK to do, I just wanted the title to be clickable if it was possible. Thanks again.

it would nice if mirc recognized some html tags

perhaps something to include in the suggestions

This is possible using some of the html wrapper DLLs for mIRC, but of course those would only work for people who have them installed. So it's not very practical for a remote command.
