Irc post Notifier -no eggdrop

this is a hack in progress but i had a few people who saw us testing and after alot of begging i finally caved, (I know I am weak)

So I decided to release the current version, expect a major update on it tommorrow with a few more options.

What this hack does is allow you to specify either which forum or all forums you wish to monitor and either monitor new threads or new replies, and send a notice to an irc channel when a new thread or reply is posted. Without requiring an eggdrop bot, this is 100% php, and works on servers running php in safe mode.



Its fully configurable, a fair amount of options in the admin panel for this, more to come tommorrow



i am attaching the installer on this post and the other two REQUIRED files in the next two posts.

just upload the installer to your admin directory and run install_ircaddon.php and follow the prompts and make the changes to newreply.php, newthread.php, and admin/index.php

easy enough

@Dymo: uhm, how do I ask this without being rude?
well, I'll give it a shot: have you finished that 'major update' yet?
I'm actually waiting for that update
I've got multiple subfora which shouldn't be monitored, and I'd like the bot to stay in the channel instead of hopping in and out

[Demascus]

yeah bring us the update

[CJi]

yeeees bring it on

[madhouse]

Ok i got this installed but...I run my bot from home..and use irc.enterthegame.com for IRC .. Now i think i have set everything up except for the fact of the homedomain?lost me there..

Just kidding, take your time. We don't want you to get overworked/stressed afterall
But, I'd really like to see the update. I'm definitely going to install this

[countryboy713]

this is a very l33t hack but im having one problem. i got it installed successfully but when the bot joins it give a link to the wrong forums. i know it is probably very simple, but how do i customize the forums the bot advertises for (laugh all you want because its probably the easiest thing to do).

any help is greatly appreciated.

Don't worry, we won't laugh.
You'll have to wait for the 'major update' we're all waiting for...
The current version watches 1 or all forums, the 'major update' should make it possible to exclude some forums, like your crewforums etc.

It didnt work with Ultimate but I updated to Unreal 3.1.3 last night and its working now. Only thing, it will go to irc on a reply but not on a new thread. I have it on and did as instructed...whats wrong?

Getting this to work with an eggdrop would be simple enough; and the eggdrop would be able to cope with the bandwidth hog.

Unfortunately I know that the fsock functions have been killing my host otherwise I would give it a go.

vB forums -> eggdrop -> irc

you just write a TCL script on the eggdrop to listen on a certain port, the forums connect to the eggdrop and send the line of information and the eggdrop sends the information to a channel.

vbulletin.tcl
listen 1337 script vbulletinaccept

proc vbulletinaccept {idx} {
 control $idx vbincoming
}

proc vbincoming {idx args} {
 if {[join $args] != "" } {
   putserv "PRIVMSG #vbchan :$args"
 }
 killdcc $idx
}

this vbulletin.tcl works great

with this running on ur eggdrop bot and using my adjusted irc.php
u only have to config IRC Server Address of ircadmin.php to the ip of your eggdrop and IRC Server Port to port 1337
oh, and dont forget to change the channame in the tcl

[dong]

i wanna add that there are some bugs with the notify reply part
like the .$forumname[title] isnt shown with replys (with threads it works)
and it notifies the reply of the poster before you, not the last reply

also a feature like choosing multiple specific forums would be nice
cos now u cant even chose 1 specific forum (another bug)

so dymo has some polishing to do

[Rock]

how can i remove this
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\httpd\HTDOCS\VBH\irc.php on line 36

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\httpd\HTDOCS\VBH\admin\functions.php on line 2243

keeps coming up when i try a new thread
