Current IRC chatters on forumhome via mirc (no eggdrop)

Current IRC Channel Chatters on Forumhome Hack
-written by eyeball (aka supreemball) of http://www.somethingleet.com (ftp mirc script coded by Rich@home.nl)

NEW VERSION updated 01/02/03!
- added support for halfops
- added commas (no comma on last nick either )
- added 'total nicks ever on ' specified #channel

to upgrade from the previous version, replace the code in mirc and the forumhome_loggedinusers template. you don't have to overwrite the ftp.mrc file or mess with global.php while upgrading, nothing's changed with those.

This hack shows a specified IRC channel's current userlist, total # of users, and status of each user
(opped, voiced, or normal, including bold/italics for each category), all on your vb forum's main page.
This hack ONLY requires ftp access to the forum server, and <a href="http://www.mirc.com">mIRC</a> 5.91 or above (constantly connected to the channel). No bots or java irc crap needed! (mirc script code can be added to mirc-based bots though.)

A live demo of this hack is shown @ http://www.somethingleet.com/forum/index.php (shown below
the Current Online Forum Users list).

Files modified:
global.php
access.ini (used in mirc)

Templates modified:
forumhome_loggedinusers

Install.txt & needed files attached.

For support, reply to this thread or email eye@somethingleet.com.

(Hack only tested on vb2.2.6, but should work on all other 2.2.* versions)

NOTE: This hack assumes the mirc user (yourself or someone else) has full access to your ftp server via ftp. I'm not held responsible if you accidentally give this hack to someone using mirc (which in turn you would have to give the mirc user your ftp login info).

Enjoy

Great hack, this hack has all I had in mind. /click installs

Works great - very nice hack !. I've made some changes to where its located (now in my Welcome Panel ). Any other people who decide to install make sure your FTP server doesn't have a welcome message or it won't login properly. I've not tried the fix suggested by another user earlier in the thread for the timeouts.

Rox anyway !

Worked fine right out of the box for Version 2.3.0 - Thanks!

I am still getting the error message:

* /ftp.upload: error: computer system is for authorized users only. Individuals using this (FTPsock1 to ftp.clanantivirus.com file:nicks.php)

did anyone come up with a fix for this

edit:

Ok i got it too work - somehow and i am now having a problem with it up dating.
I added the following line to the remote section

on 1:connect:{ /load -rs ftp.mrc | /timer 0 120 /getnicks }

I closed it (mIRC) down and then started it up again but it doesn't seem to update, and when i check the site, it shows the same amount of ppl as before and the time stamp on the nicks, is from when i ran it manually

[iggy123]

Never mind found out myself

[iggy123]

Is there anyway of making it show the last time it updated on the forum front page

Great Hack, but , I have a stupid question concerning the global.php part.

Instructions state:
5. Open your forum's global.php.
==[below the line:]====

error_reporting(7);

==[add this line:]====

require('./nicks.php');

Save the file and upload.
When I do this I only get error messages, or just a blank page, I think that I'm just not sure where in the global.php to paste the "require('./nicks.php');"
i have tried below the error_reporting(7); line, but still no go. I would love to get this hack to work. Thanks

Now, my Global.php looks like this:
<?php
error_reporting(7);

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['explain']) OR isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['explain'])) {
$showqueries = 1;
$explain = 1;
}
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['showqueries']) OR isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['showqueries']) or isset($showqueries)) {
$showqueries = 1;
$pagestarttime = microtime();
} else {
$pagestarttime = 0;
}

// allow script to work with registerglobals off
if ( function_exists('ini_get') ) {
$onoff = ini_get('register_globals');
} else {
$onoff = get_cfg_var('register_globals');
}
if ($onoff != 1) {
@extract($HTTP_SERVER_VARS, EXTR_SKIP);
@extract($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS, EXTR_SKIP);
@extract($HTTP_POST_FILES, EXTR_SKIP);
@extract($HTTP_POST_VARS, EXTR_SKIP);
@extract($HTTP_GET_VARS, EXTR_SKIP);
@extract($HTTP_ENV_VARS, EXTR_SKIP);
}

// get rid of slashes in get / post / cookie data
function stripslashesarray (&$arr) {
while (list($key,$val)=each($arr)) {
if ($key!="templatesused" and $key!="argc" and $key!="argv") {
if (is_string($val) AND (strtoupper($key)!=$key OR

I get this error:

FTP.UPLOAD Unknown command

What can I do? I haven't made any changes in the ftp.mrc, and in the aliases I've only changed #channel to my chan

And how can I add, that a special nicks.php will be uploaded before quit, that the users see that the bot iss offline and not the wrong informations?

My Chan is in the euIRC, there the chanowner have * and the super-ops have ! before the nick, in the List is an @ before the nicks... How can I correct that?

[Darken Rahl]

Is there any way to make it show how long the nicks have been idle?

[bigk]

I get this..

* /ftp.upload: connecting (FTPsock1 to ftp.X-clusive.com file:nicks.php)
* /ftp.upload: connected (FTPsock1 to ftp.X-clusive.com file:nicks.php)
* /ftp.upload: error: computer system is for authorized users only. Individuals using this (FTPsock1 to ftp.X-clusive.com file:nicks.php)
* /ftp.upload: closing (FTPsock1 to ftp.X-clusive.com file:nicks.php)

ANyone knows how i can make it work?
