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

my irc is running UltimateIRCd(Tsunami)-3.0(00).a22

[Gamingforce]

This is what one of my servers on the IRC Network is running:
[&] Version: Unreal3.2-Selene[beta9]. Xana.MediaJoint.net CFhiIX [Linux server1.xarcos.com 2.4.9-21.0RSenterprise #1 SMP Fri Jan 25 04:25:45 CST 2002 i686 unknown=2303]

I don't think it's the ircd that's the problem. I tried connecting to yours (irc.d2network.com) yesterday and it was still timing out. If any of you want to try this out on a network that uses Unreal, try my network: irc.mediajoint.net. You can find me in #gfchat if I'm around under the name "Mercarios".

One of my programmers is an IRC geek along with a PHP programmer so I'm going to have him look into it and if he finds a fix for all servers I'll post the fix here.

I'll wait untill the next release

btw, I'll be running it at one of the irc.sorcery.net servers (probable rivendell 'cause I know the ircop of that server very well ).
They're running a home-made ircd (sor1.3.3.hfix2)

I'll let you know when it works (or doesn't work ). (The next release that is, I'm not going to install this one since I don't have the time to install anything today/tomorrow ).

I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed this hack
So my server is under WindowsXP 'plz don't laugh at me) under EasyPHP (okay here you can laugh )
This is only a test board the final one will be hosted on a linux dedicated server.
But for now i configured in the admin cp all te parameters but nothing appens
So i tryed .../irc.php ..... no timeout error messages, nothing...just ... nothing...

Need help I'VE GOT to have this hack working

And thank for your job guys !!

i would put money that easyphp doesnt have all the functions like the socket calls the php onlinux has so thats probably not gonna be fixable until you are running on a linux server

I made a fix to my solution, maybe it will help some of you. I can't get it to automatically send a message to a channel yet when someone posts or replies, but I do have a pretty nice setup. When someone posts or replies, it stores it in a database as well as a text file. The textfile is then FTPed to one of my UNIX shells. The bot on that unix shell is running a TCL script that reads in the file.

So, if a user types:
!top5posters, he gets a list of the top 5 posters
!last5, he gets a list of the last 5 posts
!lastpost, he gets the last post made to the board as well as what it said.
!onlineusers, he gets a list of users currently on the board.

I installed nothing appears to happen in IRC channal, if I run the irc.php from a browser I get:

Connection refused (111)

Any ideas on cause?

Nice hack, I've installing now, in newthread.php there are 2 instances of this:

$goto="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid";
} else {
$goto="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&forumid=$forumid";
}

Is it the first of the second one?


Secondly, I looked into doing this with an eggdrop, however there is limited support for mySQL and files seem hard to come by. The mySQL tcl requires quite a few libs to be installed first, as well - I couldn't get the eggie to run with it in the config.

[Martz]

This eggdrop/tcl install works really well, very easy to install too:

makes sql available to tcl8.0, I don't have a script to test it with though!

Your web host may not allow you to connect to an IRC server. That is the problem I have when I run the script. I can't connect to any irc server I put in. If you run irc.php in your browser, you'll probably get a connection refused error.

I compiled [better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth][better wash my mouth]x on my server and I ran it, and it connected sucesful to my irc server.

BTW: I'm using Dalnet. (irc.dal.net)
