Sorry I've been tied down with a host that decided to upgrade, and leave me a few fires to stamp out.

The bot itself provides the name list from its own internal list of who is online, the change thats needed is minor, but I'm flat out at the moment dealing with a db problem :mad:

I' promise I'll get to it as soon as possible :)

Thanks for you dedication Dan...

Very much appreciated...

Question... I just installed this hack (local without DB at the moment), and I have a couple of questions/concerns:

1) Why can't I get commas separating the usernames like you guys seem to? It just shows up as "Steven Marc Bob..."
2) When I tried the DB, "at j4" popped up at the top, and only when a user had a "_" in it (it didn't match the DB. If users have a space in their name it's automatically replaced with a "_").

Well all of my small (and large) fires are stamped out, I'll get to that fix in a day or two.

StevenTN: In the series 2 of the code I don't have commas being placed in, I can add them if you really want..

As far as I know, IRC doesn't allow spaces in user names, hence the "_" replacement.

Did the users nick's match their user name on the board when you tried to use the db.

When using the DB it tries to match the users registered handle on the bot first, if it doesn't match, then it tries the users nick, then the users name via the host mask. if it all fails it just prints the users nick without any links.

So it really depends on the correct information being available. I run a private IRC server so there is not a problem with nicks being unavailable.

If you can show me some examles of the whosonline output, what it displays and what the real name in the user db is, I'll see if I can find a fix

As far as the commas... it's really not me that wants them... it's the owner (for consistency with members online, staff online (another hack we added), and birthdays, so it would be nice

As far as the "_" in nicknames... I am very well aware that IRC doesn't allow spaces (hence the reason our IRC client automatically replaces those spaces with underscores). Like yours, it is a private IRC server (hybrid server and JPilot for the client), and I was basically wondering if there was something that allows us to check to see if they do or don't have the underscore (since there are some members with them in their nickname), and if they don't have their underscore in their board nick, switch it back.

For example, many of our moderators/admin have spaces in their name as well as members (Like Alex Westerman, Erik Johnson, or PKI MAN). There are also some members with nicknames like MST3K_FREAK6666, so somehow it's gotta be able to catch it.

If you need any more info, let me know and I'll get it.

ok im sorry but im a bit lost i can user a bot either local or remote which i have tried both ways...lets start by going remote first... ok i have choosen :
Bot remote, file access remote, no db lookup:
usc.tcl
nodbremote.txt

ok in the index.php file i have it set like this :$onlinefile = "http://www.myweburl.com/forums/chat/user.txt"; //path to online users file
now in the usc.tcl i have it set like this set i2h_htmlfile "http://www.myweburlcom/forums/chat/user.txt".

which does not work....Im not understanding how the bot can write to a file on a diffrent server.
also i have tried to make the bot write to a file that i put in the bots main dir /home/bot/user.txt
either way the bot gets a error on startup and will not load.
----
Now on using the bot local and the vbb server local

I have a bot on the same server as the vbb but it has a diffrent login...how does that work ?

nm i got it working

I do appologise for my delay in modding this, I've been snowed under with work..
Promise to get to it soon.

Evil job, Evil job

Dan

I still never got my issue fixed....

Been about a month now...

Very sorry streamzone, been caught up with work (I'm quiting so they have an extra load on me atm) and some personal problems. If the wife allows me to have some play time this weekend I'll be able to get to it then.
