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.

It's very easy !
edit template: "Forum Home Templates" > "FORUMHOME"

create one copy of <!-- what's going on box --> block just after $navbar
and keep only what you need:

PHP Code:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"> 


etc...

PHP Code:

<!-- start logged in IRC -->
$irc_channels
<!-- end logged in IRC --> 


etc...

PHP Code:

</table>
<!-- end what's going on box -->

I ran the query:

ALTER TABLE irc_channel DROP COLUMN halfops;
ALTER TABLE irc_channel MODIFY operators TEXT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE irc_channel MODIFY voiced TEXT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE irc_channel MODIFY users TEXT NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE irc_channel MODIFY topic VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL;

And this is what happened:

Error

SQL-query :

ALTER TABLE irc_channel DROP COLUMN halfops

MySQL said:

#1091 - Can't DROP 'halfops'. Check that column/key exists

--

What can I do to fix this?

Has anyone got this to work on VB 2.* ?

This hack isn't compatible for less than vB3, due to the discrepancies in syntax and functions of both versions.

That is a real shame as it looks like a A1 hack :disappointed:

Can anyone recomend a good one (that use's Eggdrop) for VB2 that is as good as this one?

Hi

Works fine till my server has done a reboot.
After the reboot and restarting my eggdrop the IRC manager doesn?t work anymore.
It still displays the IRC users who were in my channel before the reboot. So there is no refresh.
!startact and !refresh are not working.

[dogbomb]

Works fine my end after installing http.tcl

Only problem I have encountered is that someone can put HTML into the /title, which can be pretty nasty if someone decided to put:
/title </table></html>

or somesuch.

Not a major problem, as only trusted people should be able to change the topic in the channel anyway, but something worth noting.

This is a great hack we had it working great then upgraded to this eggdrop,(removing script & ircon_rm, ircon_al text files from mIRC directory). Now it will not refresh users, when I /refresh the only thing i see change is the topic.

any help here ?
