Eggdrop IRC Manager

The Eggdrop IRC Manager (EIM) is a TCL script for NIX Eggdrop or Win32 Windrop.

It will allow you to refresh your forum home with information about your channel, such as the nicks currently in it, the record users, and the activity of the channel.

This is a port from my IRC Channel Manager, yet that hack was for MIRC and had some bugs.

I created a new thread for this hack as the audience is different. Most people seeking eggdrops wont look into the mIRC thread.

The eggdrop version is far better than the former, so I highly recommend you make the switch if you're capable of running eggdrop.

Quick overview of features

• Uses MySQL database to store information.
• Stable, fast, easy to deploy and use.
• AdminCP interface for managing channels.

Only drawback currently is that you must run multiple bots with the script if you intend to update multiple channels. I will be working on a version that allows 1 bot to update multiple channels.

For those using IRC Channel Manager, making the upgrade is easy, just refer to the installation manual.

Examples attached. Enjoy!

Notice 1:

Ah yes, I forgot to mention the two manual bot commands in the documentation.

As a bot owner, type !refresh to manually refresh the channel. Type !startact to do the initial start of the activity timer. Both these commands should be performed when you first place your bot on the channel or after you rehash it when installing the script. You wont have to run these scripts again, unless your bot exits the channel.

Notice 2:

Your bot will refresh your channel whenever someone leaves, changes nick, joins, is kicked, topic change, or a mode change occurs (such as someone being op'd, voiced, etc.)

On a large traffic intensive channel, this will make your bot very busy. Just be aware of this. I'll plan for a timer-version, where the bot updates every X minutes, in the future.

FAQ

What is an eggdrop?
http://www.eggheads.org/

Will this work with my java IRC client? (pjIRC, etc.)
Read what an eggdrop is. Once you figure it out, you'll know that they are completely independent things.

How do I start up my own IRC channel?
This thread isn't a beginners guide to IRC. For that, refer to Google:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...s+guide+to+irc

Will this work with vB 3.x.x?
More than likely, since there is little modification to vBulletin.

We are running BS-Logger 1.6.16 and it seems that there is missing a http Package. Anybody Knows where we can get it?

here is you http.tcl you needed hf , hope you could help me with coloured topics to be shown in board

Recently I discovered that only ops, halfops and voiced users were showing up on the "Who's Online" area.

So if there were 7 people chatting, two were ops, one was voiced, and the rest were regular users, it would look like this;

@Op-1, @Op2, +Voiced1, , , ,

I've looked over everything, and can't figure out what's gone wrong. It used to work fine, and I can only assume that maybe another hack is somehow interfering with $users/$user, but I don't know where or how.

Any thoughts? It's driving me nuts.

Does the eggdrop have to be on the same server that the forums are on?

No, it doesn't.

Anyone have any ideas on the blank usernames?

I installed this hack. vB 3.0.3 ,WinXP SP2

I'm using the lates Win/Eggdrop v1.6.17 , configured the .tcl and added the call
in the .conf file as indicated.

built the tables did the mods as shown everything shows up, the bot loads the sript
the script does nothing. The irc tables are still empy.

anyone have any ideas?

my BBS is closed to public, if that means anything

Ok I have a little newbie question, I read all message for this hack, but I still have a question:

If you have HTACCESS on your (adress of board/forums/) folder, you know the browser now don't accept the adresse like that (http://loginass@adresse) you have solution for this kind of problem ?

Thanks for your help

[Luciolle]

Nobody to help me on this ?

[JohnBee]

this hack is dead.
apparently the coder decided to stop supporting it.

it doesnt look like it works with 3.0.3 either.
I use .htaccess on my site the .tcl script from eggdrop has no way
of getting http auth. to pass through the security and update the
tables (this is one problem) another is that if you don't have guest
browsing enabled I don't think the script can update the tables either.

I tried both hacks from this same maker and they both did the same
thing.

We need another person to take over the project and fix it.

[wcbryant]

I'm still having this same problem. I'll keep checking the thread once a week or so to see if anyone has any ideas. I'm not in a huge rush, just want to be clear that this is an ongoing problem, even if someone reads this a month from now.
