Current IRC chatters on forumhome via mirc (no eggdrop)

Current IRC Channel Chatters on Forumhome Hack
-written by eyeball (aka supreemball) of http://www.somethingleet.com (ftp mirc script coded by Rich@home.nl)

NEW VERSION updated 01/02/03!
- added support for halfops
- added commas (no comma on last nick either )
- added 'total nicks ever on ' specified #channel

to upgrade from the previous version, replace the code in mirc and the forumhome_loggedinusers template. you don't have to overwrite the ftp.mrc file or mess with global.php while upgrading, nothing's changed with those.

This hack shows a specified IRC channel's current userlist, total # of users, and status of each user
(opped, voiced, or normal, including bold/italics for each category), all on your vb forum's main page.
This hack ONLY requires ftp access to the forum server, and <a href="http://www.mirc.com">mIRC</a> 5.91 or above (constantly connected to the channel). No bots or java irc crap needed! (mirc script code can be added to mirc-based bots though.)

A live demo of this hack is shown @ http://www.somethingleet.com/forum/index.php (shown below
the Current Online Forum Users list).

Files modified:
global.php
access.ini (used in mirc)

Templates modified:
forumhome_loggedinusers

Install.txt & needed files attached.

For support, reply to this thread or email eye@somethingleet.com.

(Hack only tested on vb2.2.6, but should work on all other 2.2.* versions)

NOTE: This hack assumes the mirc user (yourself or someone else) has full access to your ftp server via ftp. I'm not held responsible if you accidentally give this hack to someone using mirc (which in turn you would have to give the mirc user your ftp login info).

Enjoy

I wish all hacks were this easy to setup and this useful...many, many thanks! This is just what I was looking for...

Well I changed a few things in this hack to make it look like the Active Users Bar (it was easy to do since it was in the same template) and I put it on top instead of the underneath the Active Users Bar (it just seemed to look better to me). I'm trying to come up with an additional mod to display the most chatters similar to the "most users online". Here is what I did:

This is the beginning of my forumhome_loggedinusers

PHP Code:

<tr id="cat">
    <td bgcolor="#336D95" background="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/catagory_backing.gif" colspan="6"><normalfont color="#000000"><b>Current #acidxtreme chatters: $totalnicks </b></normalfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td bgcolor="#13486D" colspan="6"><smallfont>
    <nobr>There are currently  $totalnicks members in chat.</nobr> | <nobr>Most users ever in chat was $recordchatters on $recordchatdate at $recordchattime.</nobr><br>
    $ircnicks</smallfont></td>
</tr> 


I then tried to add the following:

PHP Code:

//-----------------------------Max Chatters Online Display-----------------------------------//
$maxchatters=explode(" ", gettemplate('maxchattersin',0,0));
  if ((int)$maxchatters[0] <= $totalnicks) {
    $time = time();
    $maxchattersin = "$totalnicks " . $time;
    $DB_site->query("UPDATE template SET template='$maxchattersin' WHERE title='maxchattersin'");
    $maxchatters[0] = $totalnicks;
    $maxchatters[1] = $time;
  }
  $recordchatters = $maxchatters[0];
  $recordchatdate = vbdate($dateformat,$maxchatters[1]);
  $recordchattime = vbdate($timeformat,$maxchatters[1]);
  eval("\$loggedinusers = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_loggedinusers')."\";");
}
//-----------------------------Max Chatters Online Display-----------------------------------// 


After this line in index.php

PHP Code:

eval("\$loggedinusers = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_loggedinusers')."\";");
} 


I then added maxchattersin table to template but after putting everything together it didn't work and errored out on me. I'm a total noob at this and it is probably over my head but I thought I would give it a stab. Hopefully someone can build on this and show me the error of my ways...

also, possible to make a TimeStamp on the nicks.php so when it is updated, it will tell when it was last updated.

[DaTeX]

Thx guys but i miss the record time and record date by the record user. Is it posible to add this ?
