[REQ] vB report to mIRC

[DeadlyMax]

hello guys i just came up with this crazy idea..
i think when someone is able to make it lots of ppl will be happy with it
i only dont know if this is possible in php but we'll see here's the idea:

- when in a forum with id nr 4,5,6 (for example) a thread is being posted there will be a message displayed like:
- new thread! [THREAD TITLE] posted by [NICKNAME] in [FORUM NAME]

i hope u guys know what i mean? ;)
thnx in advance and thnx for reading

This isnt hard at all.

someone wrote a phpIRC abstraction layer.

However, i dont know why you would bother.

(ps, there are lots of bugs in the irc layer, as in, it will loop endlessly whenever anyone sets +v/+o modes in the channel while the bot is there.

This hack would actually be quite difficult, as a server as alot of ports blocked with the firewall, so you wouldnt be able to open a socket to the mIRC. The only solution i see is a timer that checks the contents of a file.

on *:SOCKOPEN:forumlist: {
sockwrite -n $sockname GET /lastest.php?forumid=1 HTTP/1.0
sockwrite -n $sockname Accept: */*
sockwrite -n $sockname User-Agent: mIRC
sockwrite -n $sockname Host: forums.domain.com
sockwrite -n $sockname $crlf
}

on *:SOCKREAD:forumlist: {
:read
sockread %tmp
tokenize 32 %tmp
if ($sockbr) {
if (%tmp != $null) { /write forums.txt %tmp }
goto read
}
docheck
}

alias docheck {
var %ltime = $read(forums.txt , 1)
if (%ltime < ($ctime - 60)) {
msg #channel A new post has been posted by $read(forums.txt, 2) called $read(forums.txt, 3)
}
}

docheck {
/timer69 60 0 /sockopen forumlist forums.domain.com 80
}


this would do for the miRC side of stuff, I will try and do the php stuff a bit later.

Actually PPN, there is a MUCH simpler version.

However, until this guy enters his licence, im not going to bother look it up again.

This brings up a very important point about the license info.

A) We can't see it unless we're mods or admins! Well damn, I guess we don't know if he's got a license or not :)

B) Even if we support someone with a license, others without licenses may benefit from it.

Which is why the hack forums should be only available to the members :)

I think I got my license info entered..how do I check?

Bump

[TaP]

im liecence .... can ya make this?

[Demascus]

im also liecence

[Demascus]

can someone make this?

[PowerBlade]

This sounds cool, and im willing to make a try.
There is a fsockopen() function is php which is possible to use to connect to a irc server.
The problem is then to authenticate to the server and login.
Anyone knows the exact commands?

[PowerBlade]

I got the bot up and running right now.
the behavior is everytime a user in a specific forum post or reply, the bot will connect to irc, join the channel and notice the users in the channel. then leave.
We are currently working on a admin panel to configure the bot's forum and make support for multiple forums/irc channels.

[Demascus]

very nice keep us updated on how it goes
