IRC Manager ( without Eggdrop/Mirc )
 

This is the first release of my irc manager for VB 3.5.
You don't need eggdrop or mirc to run this script.

Multiple irc-servers & channels are supported

This script is based on "Eggdrop IRC Manager"
You can use your old config, you must only change every config and add server_id

Extract and upload all the files from the ROOT folder to your forum root. ( 1x admincp script, 1x admincp-xml, 1x cron script )

After upload, import product-ircmanager.xml.

This product will automatically add a vb-cronjob which runs every 15 min.

How does this script works?
It uses a socket connection to your irc server.
After a successful connection, the script joins your channel(s), collects information then leaves the channel(s).

This is a first version of the script. Later on, I plan to send some forum information to the channel, e.g. 10 last posts.

Sounds good, can you post some screenshots?

How do you get it to show on your forumhome? There's no template edits or anything.

Also, in the AdminCP, its looking for an act0.gif. Where do I get this?

Yea, kinda wondering how this will show up on my board as well..LOL

did everything, whiched went smooth, but if we need a template edit, let us know.

didnt get the act0.gif error here tho..

I would love to try this, but I would also love to see some screenshots first :)

based on the last irc manager, for 3.0 It needed the creation of a template (irc loggedin) and also modified a couple others, forumhome ect...

Gonna guess something like this would have to be done in order for this to work, otherwise its doesnt know where to send the data.

It sounds like a nice idea... but I'd find it super annoying if a bot kept joining and leaving the channel every 15 mins. Is there any way to make it persistent?

dont mean to be rude but why release this when it doesnt work

you must activate the irc manager in your admincp

this script doesent make any template changes, just set the script to "on"

go to admincp/VB-Settings/IRC Manager

and set first setting "IRC-Manager aktiviert?" to yes

second setting is the name which the script in IRC has

it is posible to write a script (in php ) which is running as a daemon, but for this you need shell account on your server and this solurions need more memory as eggdrop

so i have fixed some bugs, all settings are now in english
if you use original templates ( forumhome) or modified template but this line is exists "<!-- end logged-in users -->" you doesnt need to make template changes

else you must add "$irc_channels" to the place where you want to have it

ok leonsio, sorry for being a bit mean yesturday, i'll give it another go.

i dont see that option activate in my irc manager settings

Yea i dont have this either. only thing it admincp is on the left column IRC Manager, where you can add the server and the channels.

If this hack uses a previous hack, as in template edits, then you really need to be more clear. I think you need to start over and update the download files.

hmm youre right
my vbulletin doesent export "product options"...

:/ i must make this by hand

in one min 1 will upload new xml file

sorry :(

okay new xml ist online

it was a bug in VB ?
product export dont not export settings for one produkt

working now leonsio :)

leonsio, 2 things, you need to change the zip so it is the "includes" folder or people will have trouble getting the cron and IRC Manager nav panel to appear.

Also it doesn't display the time, even your attachment didn't show the time.

Btw, is there a way to prevent this script from stretching the screen when the topic is very long, example http://www.gsnforce.com/forum

Also great script!

Hey,

I tried it before you put up the new xml file and it didn't work, i've now uploaded the new xml file (by overwriting the old one) and it still doesn't work. I thought i would try a clean install, i went to the "Manage Products" tab and clicked on uninstall but i get this error message that stops it from uninstalling -

:ermm:

Its a nice idea though and i hope to get it working!

Yea, uploaded your "new" xml file, but didnt seemed to do anything diff. Still getting no updates.

I also get same error, when try to uninstall it.

There are no files to uplaod for my mirc correct? nothing to configure?

Edit

Ok, i see the additional options.

Vbulletin Options, scroll down to IRC manager

You can set the bot name and enable the forumhome stats.

Will let it go, and see if it works..

well, been over a hlaf an hr, still nothin. Should I see the bot connect to our channel?

your topic ist to long ^^

i will try to fix this problem :D


Drop Table problem

go to the product settings and click to edit the IRC Manager product

on the right site is the uninstall code

please change


'irc_channel` ,

to

`irc_channel` ,

after this change you can uninstall this script

very nice :)

[high]* TyleR clicks install[/high]

ok, was able to uninstall, tho had to manually remove the irc server table from my sql..

imported the new xml file, so far so good. Now I will wait to see it connect tochan and update board.

(BTW, if you delete your XML file for the Arcade it realy messes things up!! haha)

Well, i've had enuff with this one. Doesnt update. at all. I assume it should actually connect to the chan and get the data, however, its been half hr, and nothing. I'l wait for the Eggdrop one, it worked just fine.

I am unable to change the settings on where to connect... no option and nothing appears on the nav list.

I made a quick fix for the wrapping issue but I don't want it in a frame. But this fixes it from stretching the screen.

Template : forumhome_irc_onlineuser

You need to upload the "include" folder contents into your "includes" folder.

Same thing I told Blam. The cron file is not in the correct folder. Move everything from "include" into "includes" on your server.

This script works fine, but for some reason the bot joins too fast and leaves without counting the correct number of people in the chat channel

Well i managed to uninstall it and re-upload the files and i've now got all the options.

The problem now is it doesn't seem to be doing the cron job, well it might be but the bot is not joining the channel. The IRC manager is listed in the "Scheduled Task Manager" but nothing seems to happen every 15 mins. The "Scheduled Task Log" doesn't seem to show any action from the IRC manager.

I've got all the files in the correct folders. :ermm:

yea same here Madman... its been about 12 hrs now, and this things hasnt ran once yet.

Have the files in the correct folder, I assumed he ment includes and not include when i started.

ah well...

Forced run in Scheduled taska give me this error.

IRC Manager

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/cron/ircmanager.php on line 67

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/cron/ircmanager.php on line 74

Done

Just done a forced run myself. Ended up getting the "The page cannot be displayed" error. Tried it again and got this error, it didn't stop bringing the error up until i used my browsers stop button -

updated version is online

the scripts stay now 5 seconds in a channel

the titel became after 150 chars breakline

your server must have valid network configuration ( DNS )

you can test it by typing from shell

"telnet uk.quakenet.org 6667"

if you get connect to the server, your network settings are correct ;)

Thanks for your help.

Just tried that and each time it Timed Out. So i'm guessing i can't use this on my forum at the moment. Might ask my web host about it ... not sure what to ask though lol :nervous:

Anyone has a demo of this ?

Some +++++++ probably banned your bot, like what happened to me because they think they are funny. I put a notice on my forums if anyone messes with the bot they will be banned and he got banned!
