That was the problem that TyleR and I were having on his website. It works great on my website; http://mifbody.com/vbulletin/index.php but when we tried to run it on his, it wouldn't update. This is why he put it as being in Beta, because we were still trying to figure out why it works perfectly fine on my 3.5.x but not on his. It was 4am, so finding help in an IRC scripting channel wasn't working very well, he threw it on here hoping it would work for everyone else even though it didn't work for him.

As far as integration with the chatrooms; technically this script should work regardless of whether you even have a chatroom installed onto your site. mIRC is an IRC program that has a very friendly scripting language programmed into it. The ircon_al and ircon_rm is the scripts that run in mIRC, and they record what's going on in the chatroom and then sends an update to the irconline.php script on your website, telling it what has changed in the chatroom. Due to this, it really doesn't matter whether you have a chatroom installed or not because regardless it still is going to get the updates from the mIRC script, and it's still going to update irconline -- just not having a chatroom installed means less users Anyway, to answer specifically, yes it works with Jeta's IRC chatroom as that's what I have on my website.

This won't work with Trillian that I'm aware of. The scripts that come with this; ircon_al.txt and ircon_rm.txt are mIRC specific scripts that run through that program.

You need to have atleast one person on mIRC that runs this script. Personally, I have a second computer that I've deemed our "server computer" that runs 24/7 with the mIRC program running. I have what's called a "Bot" installed on this mIRC program, it's like an eggdrop type of deal if anyone's firmiliar with it, where it has chatroom commands and plays trivia and such like that. So for me, all I had to do was load the two scripts into my mIRC bot, and tada now my website will have 24/7 monitoring as long as that mIRC bot is always idling in the chatroom.

For those that are having issues with it updating on your website, can you give us some stats so we can see what's so different from my website compared to yours? We're really confused why it works on mine but didn't on TyleRs. Make sure your IRCkey is identical. How many characters did you guys use for the ICkey? I made sure to use the same amount, and used all numerical characters. Hmm, make sure the path to your irconline.php script is correct, too, as I don't believe the script is set up to give error messages if it doesn't correctly communicate with the IRConline.php script...

Has anyone so far gotten it working on their site?

Omg, i will install it later on night that definately

Many thanks for your reply. However, I run Mac's and I don't think that mIRC runs on them.

[meissenation]

Snap, no mIRC doesn't work on macs.. Probably your only bet would be to try an eggdrop type of deal... or get a windows comp.

There is no eggdrop required, and no FTP." mean exactly? Like I have to be in the irc channel myself, someone has to be in the irc channel, I have to be in the channel with the mIRC software?

A nice hack! Could I ask for a conversion of VeloCD's Eggdrop hack though? Its over at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61570 . I promise I'd love ya forever!

I'll second the port of the eggdrop one, as that one I never had issues with.

As for this one.

Yea, keys match.. used 4 digits, and 5 digits, all numerical...

Path is correct, file edits correct. 2 files loaded in my mirc.

Here is a sample of the stuff in my status window.

* Timer 1 activated
* Timer 2 activated
(16:00:02) ?? ?nickserv? identify *********
* Loaded aliases 'C:\Program Files\Noname\mIRC\ircon_al.txt'
* Loaded script 'C:\Program Files\Noname\mIRC\ircon_rm.txt'
(16:00:03) ?? usermode: set to (+oghs)
(16:00:03) ?? server notice mask (+kcfvgqs)
(16:00:03) ?? you are now an irc operator
* Timer 3 activated
* Timer 4 activated
* No one in your notify list is on IRC
* Timer act activated
* Timer 1 halted
* Timer 2 halted
* Timer 3 halted
* Timer 4 halted
(16:00:45) ?? adresses from (#dog&bone) saved in 0.53 seconds. 11/11 entries.
(16:00:56) ?? adresses from (#Doghouse) saved in 0.09 seconds. 2/11 entries.

Are you in your channel?

And i'll take a look at the eggdrop integration, but I dont use it as of now, so i'll go download it and test it out later.

As for stats not updating, are you getting any errors in your mIRC window when you connect?

as long as you use mIRC to connect to your channel, it'll display everyone inside the chat room.

I've been going through many different IRC servers' help desks trying to find anyone that's comfortable with scripting sockets, so far everyone has said "No human on earth understands the sockets commands; refer to the help file and that's the best help you can get." Aside from that, there was one person that offered a bit of support and looked over the entire script, he says that everything on the IRC side looks legitimate and it's either an issue with the website host not allowing the socket connection, or it's an issue with the irconline.php file. Unfortunately, it's looking like this is a very hit-and-miss script... Has anyone gotten it working on their website yet, or am I the only lucky one it works for? :ermm:
