IPB Command Line Administration Tool

Category: Other View
Compatibility: Invision Power Board
Demo: http://


Description:

Just to demonstrate what you can do with PHP, and the IPB SDK. And that ordering pizzas and formatting hard drives aren't the only things you can do with a shell script.

FEATURES
- Add a category from the command line
- Create a new forum from the command line
- Register a new user account from the command line
- Display the latest board statistics

WHY USE COMMAND LINE?
- You do everything in the command line and can't be bothered to
load up a web browser, log in to the board, find your way around
the Admin CP just to add a new forum.
- You know alot about scheduled tasks and want to use this
command line script to automate some tasks.
- Pizza via command line just isn't good enough.

WHY WRITE THIS SCRIPT?
I had alot of time and wanted to do something on the verge of crazy.
The next step would be to write a script which allows you to order
books and DVDs via command line, book holidays via command line and
finally drive the car by command line.

Whoops, looks like I've missed a value out. You'll also have to find:
CODE
IF "%PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR%"=="" SET "PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR=C:\PHP\pear"


And change that to the path to PEAR. I'll try and find a way of removing it, as it is useless.

I'm currently working on a program for Windows that allows forum management to eventally be done through a program.

Would it be ok to add compedability for your wonderful command-line tool in the next version of my program, cowweb?

Sure smile.gif I was thinking about some kind of GUI app which could manage IPB too a while ago - what are you writing this in? C++? Python? Visual Basic?
