vbb / irc eggdrop thingie
 

it should be a hack that when a user makes a new post on the board, the time/threadname/username/threadlink are send to a irc eggdrop. This eggdrop should then say it to a channel you can choose. Also it would be nice if you can choose which forums should have this function and which should not have this function.

i just wana say that this would be a excellent idea!

^ bump ^

someone must be able to make this

ya.. shouldnt be too hard

You have to remember, it would be pretty easy to do, but your script would have to ftp to the shell that the IRC bot is running on or the script would have to be on the same server that the IRC bot is running on.

the ftp-part should be easy enough. Could even do it in a cronjob.
Could even make the script connect directly to the bot or something.

But my days with eggs are long gone. I am not about to dirty my hands with TCL again.

^ bump ^

anyone able to do this?

i wish someone would as this has to be one of the best ideas to come around for a bit.

How many boards now have a Mirc Chat room so it goes hand in hand really.
I aint talented enough to do it - i will admit it but there is deffo some talent on here who could help people like us out.

Also id like to say i have seen this in action.
Someone is using an eggdrop so they must have a tcl script but when i asked them they said it was private and that was end of that conversation.

Thing is even running an eggdrop which is fairly easy and getting hold of an tcl script how would they interact with the board to send the info to a mirc room.

For all you who are after thi s- its out there but no one is sharing

I think it goes by the name of threadbot

i gather this is a no goer then ????

no worries at least we tried:(

Hasn't this already been made?

it has been made but dont work 100%

I made it work. You can view it on IRC by connecting to partners.realmnet.com and joining #kellyhu.

The script ftps changes of the board to a shell that I have, and the eggdrop bot uses channel and message commands to send the user the data requested.

Current commands are:

!last5 - this command will list the five last threads that were posted on the message board.
!top5posters - this command will list the top five posters.
!top5threads - this command will list the top five threads. The threads are judged by the number of replies each thread has recieved.
!lastpost - this command will tell you the last post to be made to the board and what it says.
!onlineusers - this command will tell you the current number of members and guests online along with the names of the members online.
!forums - this command shows the available forums that are on the board.

sas1911 you can share yor hack for eggdrop with all ?

I have been on a few networks with private channels where they actually have this, after hours of begging and trying to get it, they just won't share it!! damnit!
I'd love a hack like this.

]still no chance of getting it? ;)
