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.

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

Simple solution to this problem..

/yoursite/forum/ << protected htaccess dir
/yoursite/irc_addon/ << unprotected htaccess dir

put the following files into the /yoursite/irc_addon/ dir
module_irc.tcl
module_irc.php

That should get you by the htaccess issue.

Been using this script for awhile now.

only issues I have found:

channel ADMINS are not reconigized correctly

otherwise the script is working fine on vb3.03, vb 3.06 and vb 3.07 on some of those sites w/ htaccess


All I can say, you people having troubles--

make sure you got the password set in the files, make sure you are not trying to pass the info threw a htaccess folder and make sure the sql info is correct..
be sure and do the !startact / !refresh commands as well..

should work for you, unless I am a lucky one

any help please?

A small note about security:

In the moment users, who have the permission to change the topic in the channel, can add their own JavaScript code to the website by changing the website. In the moment the results are not parsed through htmlspecialchars. In a few minutes our admin will be redirect to our *h4ck4d by* Website on a different server, but I guess that he will be shocked for a few seconds

Make sure when you pasted the script to whever you pasted it you didn't leave any extra spaces. I did by accident, I had one line going over to a new line, i back spaced it and everything works fine now

@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.

I didn't notice a reply to this (my apologies if I missed it) and I'm not sure if people are still having this problem, but this is what I did:

You want to take a look at your vbulletin index file and the section of code that velocd told you to add. He has it setup to look at four different items: ops, half-ops, voiced and users. However, in the admincp, there isn't a place to indicate a style for half-ops. So, as the code in index.php tried to apply a style to each set of users, it has nothing to apply to the regular users (which is the last group in his setup).

Your options:

A) manually adjust the entry in your database to account for all 4 groups

or

B) remove all reference to half-ops in your vbulletin/index.php file and renumber the 2 lower groups (voiced = $nick_style[1], users = $nick_style[2])

I have a question. I use vbportal and I would like to make this into a block, so that I can use it on the front page, instead of forumhome.......I'm not a coder or anything like that, so if there's someone here that can tell me if its possible to show this irc info in a block. and maybe tell me how to do it..

Thanks in advance.
