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

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

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

greate work

/me install

[Demascus]

gr8 work but i dont have a eggdrop or a shell to run it on

[ModshackUK]

Any chance of a txt version of the instructions as the text is getting mixed up with the installer and its causing me loads of parse errors.

Also for those who use quick reply this will not work as it will bypass it if a member uses it to make a reply to a thread.

I have the eggdrop installed and everything as you stated.

I run the script from IE6 and get Connection refused (111)

When I make a post in the category # I choose, it takes a little while then it redirects but does not come to the channel and notify. I have it pointed at the eggdrop ip and port as stated also. What could the problem be.

Its the same problem as outlined above:

this means your host doesnt allow to open a connection on (in this case) port 1337
you could try to resolve this by setting the listening portnumber to a more common port, like 23 (telnet)

You need to change the port number.

[mADmAX`]

I changed ports to some others and same problem. I changed the ircd to unreal recently and got the same error but it did notify. This was with the previous release, not the eggdrop. I never tried the eggdrop with Unreal at that time though. Well anyways, I had many other problems so I had to go back to UIRCD 3.0.7 and I am getting the same problem which I hoped the eggdrop would fix. So in other words, I dont think the port is the problem cause it did work on Unreal with that same port.

[mADmAX`]

Well, I didnt make the changes in newreply and new thread to the changes for this way, so I just did (dont know if they are the same).

I get a parse error and wondering something...

$ircdata = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM ircaddon");
if($ircdata[ircthread] == "1") {
$Action = "new";
$fid = trim($ircdata[ircforum]);
$ircforum=explode(" ", preg_replace("/[[:space:]]+/", " ", $fid) );
while (list($key,$val)=each($ircforum))
{
if ((strstr(" ".$forumid," ".trim($val))!="") || ($ircdata[ircforum] == 0))
{
require("irc.php");
}

"Seems theres two } 's missing but I do not know where they belong?"

[mADmAX`]

I put two } at the end of that to stop the parsing and I was connected to the bot that I have eggdrop running in the channel to see if I could see anything funny

This is what I seen...

<xxxx> [16:04] Telnet connection: xxx.xxx.xxx.19/32989
<xxxx> [16:04] Timeout/EOF ident connection

where do u get those parse errors?, in the installer?
i tested the install_ircaddon.php script, it runned ok 4 me
u shoeld read very good, i think it should work, if u have connection refused, the script works, but u need to find a better port , maybe ask your host what ports u may open
