Thanks!

I installed this hack, very nice and confusing with no FTP script, but it seems to be working for the most part. The one thing that isnt working: the topic is not being displayed on forumhome. Can you think of why this might be?

ok I am looged into my channel and loaded the scripts.

In the alias config is below right?

%ircserver = irc.freenode.net
%ircfilepath = /forums/irconline.php
%irckey = xxxxxx
%ircchan = #channelname
%ircwait = 120

then in my irc manager in admincp I have

Handle #channelname
Server #irc.freenode.net

I am not getting any listings in the forum with the current config :(

Regards

velcod if you could code it i could test it for you ;)

very nice !! work on v2.2.9 !?? thx

Its a hack in the vB3 section so im guessing it wont mate ;)

Let me explain how exactly it updates. It uses mIRC remote events to update the DB table through sockets.

There are two primary commands, /ircrefresh and /refreshtopic

If you type /ircrefresh and hit enter, it will update the irc_channel table in your DB with the latest users in your channel.

/refreshtopic will update your topic.

Here are the remote events used (by default):
If a user is kicked, quits, changes his nick, or joins your channel, the command /ircrefresh will be triggered.

If your topic is changed inside the channel (while you are connected to your channel!), then the topic will update. The drawback on this is that, if it is changed when you are not in your channel, you will manually have to update it using /refreshtopic. You can fix this by using the following line:
Instead of the current on:CONNECT event.

The problem that exists is sometimes a "socket-in-user" error can develop if you run /topicrefresh or /ircrefresh too quickly.

This is my fault for I named the variables somewhat ambiguous, but %ircserver is not your irc server! It's suppose to be your webdomain server that irconline.php is on.

Think of it as that, %ircserver and %ircfilepath are connected.

Thus, www.yourserver.com/forums/irconline.php would be the full path.

Also ensure that:

%ircchan = #channelname

Is pointing to your channel name! I think in this case you are hiding your channel name, but everyone make sure that config area is filled out properly.

Recheck your alias script, to ensure the values are set correctly as mentioned above.

Then, try manually typing /ircbrowse and see if it updates your DB. Also check the status window of your IRC server, which is the first window on the channel-bar in mIRC. If any errors appear, they'll be at the bottom.

Try manually typing /topicrefresh .

My guess is you haven't changed the topic, and therefore the remote event is not triggering.

I'll look into it, to see if I even have the time to code one. ;)

I tried this on a test board, and everything installed properly, except for after intall the index.php page shows the area for it but the topic is blank and shows no one online in the room. Seems information is not getting to it. I am 100% sure I installed everything right so Im taking it that some will not be able to use this depending on whether there server will allow it?

Thats the problem Ive had in the past with this type of hack is server wont allow it so Im taking same problem? Any clues?

Post in vB code tag what you have in your aliases page, so I can verify it.

Remember, typing manually /ircrefresh and /topicrefresh is good for troubleshooting. Make sure no socket-in-use or other errors show up in your IRC server status window.

Just about any server should be able to receive the socket request, that is, if PORT 80 is open. Most servers have port 80 open for requests, but if all else fails, contact your host to make sure it is.
