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
