IRC Manager for MIRC

Here is a hack spawned off an original idea by Feldon23 for using mIRC sockets to show who is online in your channel.

This hack advances from his in many features, the most obvious being it uses a MySQL table to store the data.

• It supports multiple channels, not just one. This means you can show who is online on your forum home page for not just one channel, but many (there is a major restriction to this though, please refer to the install.html)
• Data is passed through sockets by HTTP POST, not GET, therefore more options are available. For one, this hack will show the topic of your channel.
• The "most users ever in the channel" has a timestamp to go along with it.
• The most innovative feature of this hack is the activity bar. This guages the activity of your channel by counting how many lines are outputted in the channel every X amount of seconds (this value is definable by you; default is 3 minutes). The activity bar allows people not in the IRC channel to see if there is activity going on inside.
• Admin Control Panel integration, for easy adding/deleting/editing channels.

This hack operates in the same as Feldon's, in that you MUST be in mIRC and connected to the channel if you wish for the data to be updated. There is no eggdrop required, and no FTP.

About the only known bug/error I've encountered in this hack is a "socket-in-use" error from mIRC. This can happen if you have a busy chatroom with people changing nicks, or leaving and joining the chatroom constantly. In this case, you will want to make some modifications to the ON-events in the remote script.

For more explanation on features, requirements, and restrictions, please refer to the section in install.html.


Version 1.1 - 1/20/04

• Changed the way data is sent in the remote socket script, to allow more users being. Unfortuantly mIRC sockets aren't very extensive, and through different functions and loops I still wasn't able figure out a way of sending more data. This simply means the max users that will be updated for each channel is around 60 users. (although, I believe it is more than the the 1.0 version)
• Created another socket connection for the topic & activity, which should reduce the number of "socket-in-use" errors.
• Renamed two of the config variables which were somewhat ambigious.

Upgrade 1.1 Instructions:

• Unload your current ircon_rm.txt remote script and ircon_al.txt alias script, and reload the new ones.

Clear your internet cache before downloading.

If you install this hack, please click the install button.

That worked for me ..

Me too

Is their a way to intergate this into phpclassifieds?

I have This error

* /sockopen: insufficient parameters (line 17, ircon_al.txt)

This ist at line 17

sockopen vbmisc %vbserver 80

How can i fix this ?

[Magicmule]

Very nice Support :devious:

* /sockwrite: 'vbusers' not connected (line 2, ircon_rm.txt)

I'm getting the same thing as before. I do not reside on my webserver. I remote in to my server through shell access or a host acp of sorts. I'm also behind a router - is this a port forwarding issue? The display on my forumhome shows no users and there never has. When i /ircrefresh I get the above error which points to the vbfilepath - which is absolute. My settings are identical to the owner of this hack (replacing the obvious paths), but I get only this one error.

And exactly WHY does IRC need to be running for it to work? I don't see anything in this hack that attaches itself to your mIRC client that you'd need it running constantly. Do the 2 scripts need to be loaded everytime you connect?

It's lookin at the vbfilepath which is correct.

/ircrefresh {    
 ; Configuration ;      

    %vbserver    = www.armageddononline.org/    
    %vbfilepath  = /forums/irconline.php    
    %irckey      = 7541    
    %ircchan     = #armageddononline    
    %ircwait     = 120

My irckey matches, so that's definitely not it.

I tried both of the hacks to show who's online eggdrop and none eggdorp (this one)
both do the exact same thing, [nothing]

I tried to trouble++++ as best I can but all I can conclude is this.
nothing is ever written to the tables.

no error messages etc.

there must be a logical reason for this!

Okay ***update
I found this in my email.

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: 
SELECT *
FROM `irc_channel`

mysql error: Table 'testservr_bbs.irc_channel' doesn't exist
mysql error number: 1146

Please help me solve this someone

Getting this error every 120 seconds

21:28:20] ??? Invalid command: [GETNICKS]
[21:30:20] ??? Invalid command: [GETNICKS]
[21:32:20] ??? Invalid command: [GETNICKS]
[21:34:20] ??? Invalid command: [GETNICKS]
[21:46:21] ??? Invalid command: [GETNICKS]

I am guessing its to do with the IRC script, but everything else works ok, just a pain in the ass the now cause this keeps coming up when I am chatting.

Any help on why? Everything else works fine though
