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

thats what i was thinking xiphod....

[GoTTi]

is there a way to put a delay in the script?

If the miRC remote tab, you can change the value 120 (2 minutes) to whatever you like, which will either increase or decrease the time it refreshes.

Is that what you meant?

Hey Supreemball, how might I get it so the nicks are seperated by comma's? You should be able to use str_replace(), explode(), or rtrim() to achieve it..although with some effort last night I just couldn't get it to go..

Also, is there any way to log the most users that have ever been the channel at one time?

you can do the most users in the channel with no problem.. i might release that in the next version.. it'd be done thru the mirc script code.

also the commas can be done thru mirc script code too.

use this as the code (to replace the line similar to it)

    write -a nicks.php <b>@ $+ $nick(#channel,%x) $+ </b> $+ , }

I figured how to do that, but that leaves a trailing comma at the end of the last username..

ie: users in chat: bob, joe, mike, chris,

Anyway to simply code it in that mIRC script to prevent the last comma from showing?

[supreemball]

heh, not that i know of.. that's probably why i didn't use commas in the first place

[Velocd]

Well, I can figure it out easily, but I need to know how you can get the users in the PHP file to be displayed without skipping lines

For example, currently it's outputted like this:

PHP Code:

$ircusers = "

Bob

Jacob

Chris

"; 


But, how can I get it like this:

PHP Code:

$ircusers="bob jacob chris"; 


[Schorsch]

thanks, is working great

but I also would like to know how I can separate the names with a comma.

regards,
Schorsch

EDIT: it doesn't show the % of halfops. How can I change that ?

if you put it like that, then, provided that your channel has alot of chatters (like up to 20 depending on their nick length), eventually will probably produce a 'line too long' error in mirc and stop reporting the chatters correctly, so this is why it goes to each line, to stop it from doing that. i have an average of 30-40 chatters in my room at all times, so it's impossible for me to do that and it work right

as far as adding commas, i know it can be done, but it's alot of trouble.. maybe if i have some more spare time soon.
