Users in Chat -with eggdrop, works no matter what-

First and foremost, I would like to thank Sparkz for a little bit of TCL help. I had been playing with the idea for some time now of using an eggdrop bot and vBulletin to put current chatters on my forum home. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the perfect TCL to use. The current TCL is a mix between my own script, a script I found online and Sparkz script.

** YOU MUST HAVE AN EGGDROP BOT **

After seeing this hack on vbulleting.org, I wanted it for my site. Unfortunately, it was not being released, so I decided to make my own! Here it is, hopefully you can figure most of it out yourself.

What it does is uses an eggdrop bot (not going to explain what it is). The bot refreshes the userlist when a user leaves or enters the channel, this keeps the list up to date always. When you load index.php, the list is downloaded from the shell and read into a variable. This variable can be put on your forumhome template
and viewed by the user. This hack also gets the current channel topic and the current server that the chat is on.

Pros:
* Works for any IRC method (jpilot, mirc, eirc, etc.)
* No page refreshing or database calls
* Is ALWAYS up-to-date

Cons:
* Uses FTP and eggdrop

Support for this hack is limited due to the fact that I am a busy person.

I hope you enjoy this hack, it's my first.

hey i got this eror on the board :

Warning: ftp_get(): Error opening /usr/home/johnnygetz/eggdr/mizscripts/userlist.txt in /home/ph4nt0m2/public_html/Miz23/index.php on line 646

Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/public_html/Miz23/userlist.txt) is not within the allowed path(s): (.:/tmp:/home:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/home:/usr/local/bin/) in /home/ph4nt0m2/public_html/Miz23/index.php on line 649

the tcl file is working fine now

Hmm for some reason it is making the file but not puttin in the users.

Does anybody know how this impacts performance?

In other words, how much processing power does a single eggdrop process take up, and how much work does the server have to do to retrieve the chatters list (assuming that both the eggdrop and forum are on the same server)?

Thanks!

I'm having real trouble setting this up. What should go here?- $accessip = "255.255.255.255"; //accepts wildcards so '255.255.255.*' is ok
$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$accesscode = "passwd"; . I have eggdrop running on a shell, and the site is running on a totally different host. What do I do guys? The installation here is very unclear... thank you !
