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

I disagree. The best bots are the ones you write yourself, 'cause the do just what you want them to do
And even if you can't write one yourself, eggdrop isn't the best bot. It's the most commonly used bot, I must agree with that, but that doens't make it the best...
I always used the Dancer SE 5.0 bot, but it died at 1 januari 2002 (and we started joking: It isn't y2k2 compliant), and restarting (and even kicking) it didn't help :cry:. A little bit of research showed us that it was due to the very trashy server (a linux server with a not so stable kernel which can't be updated). So we tried it at a windows 2k server, and that worked. But, in memory of our good friend CyberFriend/Joey/Stimpy (all the names the bod has had ), we dicided to forget about the bot.

But, we are willing to try out Dymo's script, and so still eagerly waiting for his 'major update'...

a bud of mine fixed the multiple specific forum thing

u need my modded ircadmin.php

and alter the following:

with phpmyadmin: go to the table ircaddon; u have to change ircforum from: int(20) default NULL
to
type: mediumtext Null: No_null Default: "" ( remove NULL)

where u added the hack in newthread.php, replace it with the following:

PHP Code:

      // Create a notice on irc channel
            
      $ircdata = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM ircaddon");
             if($ircdata[ircthread] == "1") {
                 $Action = "new";
                $fid = trim($ircdata[ircforum]);
                $ircforum=explode(" ", preg_replace("/[[:space:]]+/", " ", $fid) );
                while (list($key,$val)=each($ircforum)) 
                {
                    if ((strstr(" ".$forumid," ".trim($val))!="") || ($ircdata[ircforum] == 0))
                    {
                        require("irc.php"); 


same for newreply.php:

PHP Code:

      $ircdata = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM ircaddon");
             if($ircdata[ircthread] == "1") {
                 $Action = "new";
                $fid = trim($ircdata[ircforum]);
                $ircforum=explode(" ", preg_replace("/[[:space:]]+/", " ", $fid) );
                while (list($key,$val)=each($ircforum)) 
                {
                    if ((strstr(" ".$forumid," ".trim($val))!="") || ($ircdata[ircforum] == 0))
                    {
                        require("irc.php"); 


now u can add multiple forumids seperated with a space, like
5 12 15 16 3 61 11

yes jakex it can work without eggdrop just install the origional hack

but if u read this whole thread u will find 2 potential problems

1. the hack has bugs with certain ircd's
2. not all hosts will support the feature of executing a bot

i have problem #2 but im on a damn fine host an the eggdrop version works sweet 4 me and as im running a few eggs neway it was little hassle to give it a go

if u have an irc # then eggdrop is the best bot to run and if u can run eggdrop try windrop
there are a lot of addon scripts to enhance yer eggdrop/windrop

yea, but problem 2 is more the specific problem that the host doesnt allow to open a port on 6667
on my host port 1337 is allowed, as on most hosts

also dymo's version (without eggdrop) has to connect to an ircd everytime a newthread/reply is made this take alot of time
even if u get it to run with +d , it will use alot more bandwide/load on your host

so i thing With eggdrop or windrop is the best sollution, but then u also need eggdrop skills :P

[ariaforums]
