vb.org Archive - jIRC Chat Integration

Hey I installed this thing and my users love it. It is great and well worth the $50 to jpilot.

Problem: Because people are often in the Chat Room for more than 15 minutes, they drop off the "Currently Active Users" list. I would like to be able to display on the forum home the # of people currently in the Chat Room.

I found that someone has written a .php bot which is supposed to do this here:
http://www.jpilot.com/java/irc/ubb/c...ML/001422.html

I installed this and the bot does run in my chat room. However, I don't know how to get a number to display. Can anyone help me?

This is Klamm's code. Hope its ok to quote it:

Code:

<?

set_time_limit(0);



// INIT

$server = "irc.euirc.net";

$port = "6667";

$php_nick = "Kbot2";

$php_realname = "The klamm-Bot";

$php_channel = "#klamm.de";

$refresh=30; // look max. every XX Seconds for #users

$joined=0; // only 1 join

$register=0; // first ping



// CONNECT

$verbindung = fsockopen($server, $port);

fputs($verbindung, "USER $php_nick 0 0 :$php_realname\n\r");

fputs($verbindung, "NICK $php_nick\n\r");

sleep(5); 

$timer=time();



// READ STREAM

for($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)

{  

        $i = 0; // to make it endless

          $new = fgets($verbindung, 1024);

          // ask for user-count every [refresh] seconds

          if($timer+$refresh<time()&&$joined==1){

                  fputs($verbindung,"LIST $php_channel\n\r");  

            $timer=time();

   }

   

   // nick in use?

   if (ereg("Nickname is already in use.",$new)) { 

           fputs($verbindung,"QUIT : Nick in use");

                  fclose($verbindung);

                  break;

          }

          

   // ping pong

   if(ereg("PING",$new)) {

             $ping = explode(":", $new);

      $reply = $ping[1];

      fputs($verbindung, "PONG $reply\n\r");

      $register = 1;

   }

    

   // first join

   if($joined==0&&$register==1){

                 fputs($verbindung, "JOIN $php_channel\n\r");

                 $joined=1;

        }

           

   

   // REACTIONS

        if($joined==1){

                

                // kicked

                if(ereg("KICK $php_channel $php_nick",$new)){

                          fputs($verbindung,"QUIT : Me got kicked\n\r");

                          fclose($verbindung);

                          break;

                  }

  

                  // number of users

                  if (ereg("322 $php_nick",$new)) { 

                    $users = explode(" ",$new);

                    $userson = $users[4]-1;

                    echo"\n\n$userson\n\n";

               // here you can make your file-write or db-query

               // to update the current user-count

            }

        } // joined

} // for 

?>

Am I supposed to add something to the end of the file where Klamm has written

Code:

// here you can make your file-write or db-query

// to update the current user-count

}

} // joined

} // for 

?>

in order to get a display?

Also, Klamm makes an interesting comment that "If you want the Names of the Users in the Channel, just use /NAMES #channel instead of /LIST #channel. But it needs a bit of additional Code ..."

Would anyone know how to go about accomplishing this?
