Hello,
**Introduction**
We are looking for a freelancer for a very small task. We have two phpbb3 forums, both in last version, phpbb 3.0.7-PL1, in which we publish different content. Some of this content is shared by the two forums. When we want to publish the same content in both of the forums, we publish the content in the first one, and then we copy and paste the content by hand to the second one.
**Objective**
We would like to have a bot to do this copies automatically, because we have between 3 and 10 posts every day we would like to publish in both forums.
**Technical details**
The bot have to read specific topics from one forum, copy the content (subject and message), and paste it into the second forum. To do this, the bot will need to log in into both forums, parsing the content from one of them, and copy it into the second one. We are interested in WWW::Mechanize based in Perl, but we are open to other solutions also.
**If you want to apply**
You can test the forums freely if you want. Just send me a private message and I will send you the URL of the forums. We can give you also a free account in order to test your code. There is no restriction in time to finish the bot, but we would like to have feedback of the programmer about how the work is going. We would like to get a proof of your knowledge before completing the escrow, so if you want to apply, you need to provide a small piece of perl code using www::mechanize able to post in a topic in a phpbb3 forum. ONLY a small piece of code for posting, not the parsing, login or whatever.
We will choose and do the escrow as soon as one coder complete the requeriments.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate and post a comment.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards
Algar
