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?

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:

Will this work with vB 3.x.x?
More than likely, since there is little modification to vBulletin.

[lifesourcerec]

Got it working, but it only pull the topic and nothing else. How can that be fixed?

[lifesourcerec]

deleted the irc_channel table and re-installed it, now it's not picking up anything.

Velcod seems to have given up on suporting all of his hacks.

[Velocd]

Sorry, my schedule has been very busy, and as so I've had no time in the past month or so to attend modifcations on vB.org.

I didn't know I still had the "guarantee label" on my modifications. This has been made apparent, but I'll officially say I am no longer supporting any of my hacks, untill I have some free time on my daily agenda (which isn't going to be for awhile).

Have a good day.

Hey I understand the no time thing. Just nice to know you are too busy and just not ignoring us. :P

Great script, installed! ^^;

In this line:

<div style="white-space: nowrap">Most users in the chat was $channel[online_max] on $channel[date_max] at $channel[time_max].<br />
Topic:&nbsp; <i>$channel[topic]</i></div>

I found that if I removed the style="white-space: nowrap" from the DIV tag, it fixed a bug I had with topics braking the table if they where to long.

Just a friendly tip.

[ChessMess]

Works, save the topic doesn't come across. No idea why it doesn't.

Hey everyone!

I installed all the board end componet sucessfully, and I -think- I set all my eggdrop (windrop) options correctly.

However the forumhome list hasn't been touched, and I've obviously overlooked something.

Does anyone have a bare-bones eggdrop config they could post for the likes of poor me? PLLLLLLLLLEASE

[plauderer]

i am using coloured topics in irc channel , is there a way that the topic could be displayed correctly on the board because the board only printed out the irc colour commands not the colour itself on board !?
