No scripts folder within this repo.

Hi, viisauksena. Guess: I was looking for a group-like feature for diaspora* and just arrived here. I've been browsing this repo (diasp_group) and wanted to try it as a proof of concept. But sadly I found no scripts folder (no repost.sh or getall.sh). I would like to try it. Thanks in advance.

i stopped working . cause it was a mess
while i was successfull with curl to make real postings .. and with some nice mysql querys getting all the latest post to a given "group" user ...it was all messy
and you have to set this up by hand: meaning this (i describe so you have to get your steps for this), you have to make a special user for this on an server where you have sql database access, the user should autoaccept followers/friends, you have to get all the latest messages and check them for updates via sql quers against non-public posts to this user, and you have to track this (so you have to have your own extra database for this), then you have to make a cronjob which sends data in case of something new arrives a "group-user-post" und by this reaching all the participants (friends).. you have to track your own posts too and relate them to origin posts , so sometimes you have to recheck if the origin is still there, or is being deleted - by this you should delete it also..

to send i found no better way, and no support on all diaspora channels whatsoever (they dont like this idea) - than getting a valid session cookie for the user - and make a post request via curl (and the session cookie in it) ... so you dont have to make all the difficult ruby on rails stuff for a new post yourself -
sure - if you know the stuff, you find the info for making a post quickly.

so at the end of the day, it worked - but i had no time to automate it, and i loose interest in diaspora for a while - maybe thie come back, and hopefully there is somehow a api or sthg. than
