Irc post Notifier -With eggdrop

Irc thread Notifier -With eggdrop [VB 2.2.x > 2.3.x]
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=39974
################################################## ###################
for installation on VB 3.x.x
the only things that are different are the placement of the code-adds
to /newthread.php and admin/index.php. the code-add of /newthread.php
itself stays the same. admin/ircaddon.php, /irc.php and the required
sql query also stays the same.
since i dont have vb3 i cant check. if anyone tell me where the
code should be in vb3, i will add it to this install text

this is an modification of dymo's Irc post Notifier without eggdrop,
dymo should get all credit, cos i didn't do that much modifications
to his hack. Also IRiDiuM deserves some credit for his tcl, thx dude

################################################## ###################
What it does:
------------
When a new thread is posted by a user on your board a message will
be send to your eggdrop irc bot, and the bot echo's it to your
irc channel

*note: YOU NEED AN EGGDROP BOT CONNECTED TO AN IRC SERVER FOR THIS
u can get eggdrop here: http://www.egghelp.org/
or windrop here: http://windrop.sourceforge.net/

other ircbots that can run tcl scripts could also be usefull

################################################## ###################
When UPGRADING TO 2.0
---------------------
then you only have to overwrite/copy irc.php, ircadmin.php and
vbulletin.tcl to the right places. NO updates to newthread.php
newreply.php and admin/index.php are required

When UPGRADING TO 2.9
---------------------
then you have to overwrite/copy irc.php, ircadmin.php and
vbulletin.tcl to the right places. the old adjustment in
newthread.php must be replaced with the new one
also edit port number in vbulletin.tcl if you did that before
and you have to reconfigure all options in the ircadmin

################################################## ###################
place the files from the zip in:
--------------------------------
ircadmin.php -> vb admin dir
irc.php -> vb root dir
vbulletin.tcl -> eggdrop script dir

################################################## ###################
config your eggdrop:
--------------------
edit in vbulletin.tcl
if you want to use another portnumber then 1337, than edit that number

edit your eggdrop config file (eggdrop.conf):
add at the end:
source scripts/vbulletin.tcl

################################################## ###################
run required sql queries:
--------------------------
add a new table with phpmyadmin > run the queries in install.sql

################################################## ###################

makenavselect("IRC");

++++++++++++++++++
hacks done


################################################## ###################
configure the ircaddon:
-----------------------
go to the admin control panel and find "Modify/Enable/Disable IRC"
on the left.
configure all options
notes:
- IRC Forum ID`s
put all your forum id's that you want to have notified in irc here,
use only 1 space to seperate forumid numbers

- IRC Server Address
here you put the ip/hostname of your eggdrop bot

- IRC Server Port
here you put the port number which is set in the vbulletin.tcl script.
This is the port# the bot listens to for notifier messages. in this
case its 1337

################################################## ###################
now your done


################################################## ###################
the following problems could occure:
------------------------------------

Connection Refused
this error occures on 2 known occasions:

1# u have to make sure ur provider allows u to open a port
(in this case 1337, u could try another port, but don't forget to also
change it in the vbulletin.tcl)

2# make sure ur eggdrop has opened a port (1337) to listen for messages.

--
Connection Timeout
this error occures when your bot is offline, or the host of your vb board
cant reach the bots ip
--
slow displaying of the thread announcement is caused by the bot
requesting ident information from the vb boards host. currently i haven't
found any solution for this problem. adjusting the ident timeout setting
on the bot doesnt help, but ive noticed that an eggdrop is faster then a windrop.
if someone has more insight to this plz tell us
--
hint:
make sure a firewall is not blocking any communication
lasttime i helped someone install, it didnt work cos the idiot didnt
turned the firewall off on the bot box. after telling him for the 5th
time 'turn the fecking firewall off' it worked
so make sure nothing is blocking its communication, at the isp where your
vb is running or at the box where the bot is running

(12:00:14) (%Bot) {New thread in Test Section.| Poster: . Subject: . Link: http://localhost/test/}

Also in phpmyadmin can we only select 3 channels from which this is to take posts to mirc as if i do it liek this 35.36.37 etc it dont work

did u use the irc.php i put in the zip file
it had to be edited some from the one dong posted
and also i not follow ur phpadmin ? cause channels have 3 slots and the are #chan1 #chan2 #chan3 and you shoud just put in #urchannel name can have up to 3 channels but one per box and the 35.36.37 sounds like forum id's and if thats the casue they are 35 36 37 note only one space between

[lasto]

ok it works cheers CarolinaKid

now for one more question (also it is easy to do this hack even in phpmyadmin )

i see 3 boxes where i enter the forumids - is this all we allowed as i have more forums i want to be included

and lasto i dunno what your prob is buddy. not seen that error before

definatly got the chaninfo right and the tcl is loaded

bot console:
?6:23PM? [10:23] Loaded chanlimit.tcl v1.5 by slennox (active on all channels)
?6:23PM? [10:23] vbulletin.tcl loaded

yes i just simply added a putlog "vbulletin.tcl loaded" so it shows up in rehash and logs. Note dont put this in a proc, it would usually go at the end of the .tcl

heres what i get in bot console on new thread posting in the 1 forum specified in ircchanforum1:
?6:25PM? [10:24] Telnet connection: xxxx.xxxxxhost.net/47738
?6:25PM? [10:24] Timeout/EOF ident connection

the above is from live testing as opposed to the other tests i made on my own box. Still not getting any announce tho

so its connecting ok

i have 1 possible idea what are these new mysql fields for in ver 2 of this addon ?

ircbnick ircbpass irc_user irc_host irc_serv irc_realname

is anything needed in any of these fields for identing, i dont remember these fields in ircadmin of the old ver i used some time ago probably pre v1.

PS thanx for your guidance so far I just hope as others got it going I can too

[CarolinaKid]

hmm i know this is a dumb question but have ya got bot in channel and as you said it looks to connecting.. almost seems like a problem with the bot itself. All i can say at this point is double check everything and maybe even try adding a 2nd channel to see if it will work in 2nd channel. let me know what you figure out.

Do you have the bot setup to allow the xxx.xxxhost.net to telnet into it?
