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

I´ve another problem.
With firewall script isn´t working anymore.
But I don´t know what I must change.
Eggrop is listening on port 25121
I opened outgoing connection to port 25151 for new connection..
irc.php connect to eggdrop, but no announcement in channel...
I think it is an blocked outgoing port..
I use iptables..
any ideas?

[PGLion]

I have just installed the hack on vbb 2.2.9.
After install_ircaddon.php I am not able to find an entry in the admin control panel.
Could someone please help me and tell where I can find or activate the Modify/Enable/Disable IRC functions.

Thx in advance...

As with the Chatters Online I wrote (which will become a FINAL hack soon), this can be done with mIRC and without an eggdrop.

mIRC can read and write raw bytes on sockets, so you can do primitive GET requests thru HTTP/1.0.

[Funkie]

@feldon23
sounds good as my host will not allow me to port to irc

[Nicarlo]

no matter what i do it always give me this error in the bot logs

telnet connection: xx.xxx.xxx.xxx/37739
Timeout/EOF ident connection

Can anyone explain to me how to fix this problem ?? thanks alot for your time

[ReactoR]

Really nice work mate,i have been looking from that!.

[Christoff]

What do i have to do to have a link to a post/thread in notice?
I tried to add the line from other parts od php.ini but it does'n work [ script is not executed, there is no notice ]

--------EDIT

I managed to do this one :>
But still there is one problem that i don't know how to solve.
Please tell me how to delete those { and } at the begining and at the end of a bot message?

[Mike11212]

anyone know if this works with 2.3

[Kenji Wing]

well i installed it correctrly in v 2.3 but now im having a prob

I got it installed running off port 80 because 1337 is blocked off my server but it seems not to send anything to my bot who is sitting in the channel maybe my information is wrong i dinit understand all of thye irc stuff because im not a genius with it -_-

[Bulleh]

well all is installed, BUT, it doesnt announce on IRC?
