Users in IRC - with eggdrop. html access

################################################## #########
Users in IRC - with eggdrop. html access
Tested on vB 2.2.5 and 2.2.9
Hack Verson: 2.0.2 Beta
################################################## #########


This hack is an enhanced version of the one by sas1911 - details of which can be found here
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=40855

This hack uses an eggdrop bot to provide information to vB about who is online.
NEW IN BETA 2
This hack now comes in two main flavours on the bot side.
1) writes the user list to a local file, vB then can access it local (if the bot is on the vB server)
or the file can be access remotely via http
2) This is the new bit, the bot now has the ability to contact the server directly via http (using the http tcl library)
- more on the vB side later - it updates when someone joins the channel, changes nick and after a set period of time

On the vB side the two main choices are...
1) simple display of user names with the ability to hide certain users, ie the bot. also allows a '_' or whatever at the
end of a nick to show the user is offline
2) Accesses the user DB to try to match the user 1st by bot handle, then nick, user name (host) and link them the same way
as online forum users. it will also hide users if their forum invisible setting is turned on.
it provides the same overides as the first script as well as additional flags of [me] (overide the db lookup) and
[on](override the invisible flag)

The callhome script needs an access code that you set in both the bot and the script as well as the ip range for the bot.
if the access code and the ip range don't the script will give the user a 404 error - see instructions

The script for index.php has the two subsets for either a local file or remote file.
each different flavor for the index file i have placed in seperate files, so please read that file for install instructions


All files are included as well as the old ver 1 of this hack.

Known bugs:
None at the moment

Known quirks:
With using the db, online users number may display higher then the list of users displayed, but vB works the same way,
if this really bugs people I'll tweak it.
Sometimes the the script just doesn't get the user right - again db lookup, my solve for this is regular users I add to the bot, if there is enough interest I'll do a user cp hack or something
to either get vB to contact the bot and add the user, (and handle to the bot) or hack a way around so that the user can register
their nick and/or user name (host) into the db

TODO:
anything anyone suggests thats reasonable

Fixed Bugs:
Resolved the Excess db queries, now its only 1 query 2.0.1
Fixed a bug where it would hang if the server went offline or refused to answer, now set at a 7 second time out.
Fixed a small glitch where the script showed a warning if the file was unreachable.
- refixed this glitch should all be working now. 1.1.2
Multiple instances of the timer bug resolved. 1.1.1


Added functions:
See above for main changes to ver 2
Now strips all php and html tags from the file - just to be on the safe side.
Added commas after names

Modified files
2.0.2 index.php only
2.0.1 Both db access scripts have been updated
2.0.0 All files need to be updated
1.2.0 index.php only
1.1.2 index.php only
1.1.1 index.php only
1.1 usc.tcl only

Thanks for you time, any questions/ideas/sugestions please don't hesitate to contact me via pm or email (email is in the file).

Found this code, dunno if it help...

PHP Code:

# Location to save files 
set location "/home/ircadmin/MonkBOT/userlists/" 

# Channel to watch 
set chan "#unrealplayground" 

# How often to update file in minutes 
set updatetime 2 

# Check to see if the timer is running - only needed really during a .rehash 

putlog "users2list.tcl v1.0 has started" 

if {![info exists fileusers_running]} { 
  timer $updatetime fileusers 
  set fileusers_running 1 
} 

proc fileusers {} { 
  global updatetime chan file location 
  if {![validchan $chan]} { 
    putlog "ERROR - users2file.tcl - I am not on $chan, so I cannot output lists" 
    return 1 
  } 
  set l1 [chanlist $chan] 
  set l2 {} 
  set l3 {} 
  foreach u $l1 { 
    if {[isop $u $chan]} { 
      lappend l3 "@" 
    } elseif {[isvoice $u $chan]} { 
      lappend l3 "+v" 
    } else { 
      lappend l3 "" 
    } 
    lappend l3 $u 
    lappend l3 [getchanidle $u $chan] 
    lappend l3 "[getchanhost $u $chan]" 
    lappend l2 [join $l3 {,}] 
    set l3 {} 
  } 

  #write the files 
  set fp [open "${location}${chan}.users.txt" w] 
  puts $fp [join $l1 {,}] 
  close $fp 
  set fp [open "${location}${chan}.status.txt" w] 
  puts $fp [join $l2 \n] 
  close $fp 

  #restart the timer 
  timer $updatetime fileusers 
}

Hi,

i have a little trouble with this hack. i have installed him on 2 difference servers. on the first server (suse) he is working perfectly but on the second Server (debian) he shows me always 'IRC Server Fault / Chatter=0'. I have installed the same nodbremote.txt and template on the servers. Please help me.

Greats

I finally installed the updated hack (I waited until a necessary upgrade to do so).

Great job with it!

The bot works normally but when I add "source scripts/usc.tcl" to my eggdrop.conf and upload the file into the scripts directory it results in the following error:

[18:05]Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf':
[18:05] invalid channel: #mychannel
while executing
"chanlist $i2h_chan"
(procedure "i2h:make" line 5)
invoked from within
"i2h:make"

invoked from within
"source scripts/usc.tcl"
(file "eggdrop.conf" line 1338)
[18:05] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

[Ogmuk]

This was solved... there was a problem in eggdrop.conf.

[Ogmuk]

Great hack. I hope that you'll release a vb3 version once the RC1 is released.

(sorry if this was already discussed earlier in this thread... I didn't have the time to read every page)

Customized it a bit for my forum: here is what I came up with.
Usernames are arranged by status, then alphabetically. Each group is also color coded. Attached is a screenshot, and my working code.

[walkingthepath]

having problems.... I keep getting Tcl error in script for 'timer1369': and the number randomly changes when I restart the bot. Once is that timer1111 and so on... What do I do??
