IRC Manager ( without Eggdrop/Mirc )

This is the first release of my irc manager for VB 3.5.
You don't need eggdrop or mirc to run this script.

Multiple irc-servers & channels are supported

This script is based on "Eggdrop IRC Manager"
You can use your old config, you must only change every config and add server_id

Extract and upload all the files from the ROOT folder to your forum root. ( 1x admincp script, 1x admincp-xml, 1x cron script )

After upload, import product-ircmanager.xml.

This product will automatically add a vb-cronjob which runs every 15 min.

How does this script works?
It uses a socket connection to your irc server.
After a successful connection, the script joins your channel(s), collects information then leaves the channel(s).

This is a first version of the script. Later on, I plan to send some forum information to the channel, e.g. 10 last posts.

it use a socket connection to some irc server
after connect is success, the script join your channels collects information and leaves the Channel

you can rent one for like 10 bucks a month or twenty search google .. or you can use a already existing irc server. like irc.efnet.net or irc.rizon.com and so on

A couple of questions.

1. would you use irc.uk.quakenet.org or just uk.quakenet.org ?
(yes my channel is on the quakenet network)

2. server name and server address... which would i use for which? it should give examples of what to put in the boxes...

Also I think handle should be renamed to channel name... it is a bit ambiguous.

Lastly the bot does not get the stats for me....

If i force-run the cron job i get this:

IRC Manager 

Warning: main(): Unable to access /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/blahblah.com/httpdocs/forums/includes/cron/ircman in /admincp/cronadmin.php on line 64

Warning: main(/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/blahblah.com/httpdocs/forums/includes/cron/ircman): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/cronadmin.php on line 64

Done

Any help from the author with these problems appreciated.

Hi!

Can it be that the bot can't use rooms who are password protected?
I don't get any error from the script when I run it. But I also don't see the bot.
I also don't see the line at the bottom like on the screenshot??

What I must do, if I want let join the bot a password protected room and how I can check if the bot works or not?

Thnx for your help.

hi

I use euirc.net because they will give you a bot which provides you an url with an array of the chatting users. From there it is very easy to grab the array from the url and integrate the "who is chatting" list into your vb or site :ninja:

the only thing wrong with this script is that its not showing the realtime users in the irc channel (it shouldnt part the channel)

Hi!

Well if you post a bugfix, maybe you also have a look on the performance.
Because I see the script has open onto the server a lot of tasks. Means allways if the bot start there will be open a new http task on the server.
