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 thought of yet another cool add-on for this hack, probably simple to do as well.

How might one go about grabbing the "MoTD" (or topic, whatever it's called) from the channel? Then this could be displayed on the forum home in the IRC online area. It could be of some interesting use

interesting idea, but not sure how it'd be doable.. i'll have to look more into mirc's variables to see if it could be done.

and snyx, you don't have to run /getnicks everytime you want to update it. if you install the hack correctly, it automatically updates the listing every 2 minutes.

about the ftp errors, not sure.. you might have to modify the ftp.mrc file somehow to possibly fix it.. i'm not the author of that script so i can't tell you much.

* /ftp.upload: error: computer system is for authorized users only. Individuals using this (FTPsock1 to ftp.mysite.com file:nicks.php)
* /ftp.upload: closing (FTPsock1 to ftp.mysite.com file:nicks.php)


The line "computer system is for authorized users only. Individuals using this..." is part of the server ftp welcome message.

I get this error

* /ftp.upload: error: computer system is for authorized users only. Individuals using this

But I know the password and login is right.

oh.. ok

[lifesourcerec]

Is there a command for the script to ignore the welcome message? I bet it tries to do the username when the welcome message is going and password into the username. The Welcome message is long.

You can try TheVoidz method

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...852#post335852 (Post 38) in this thread.

But for some reason it didn't work for me, maybe it will work for you though.

Didn't work for me. We must be using the same hoster.

Is there a way to delay the script to login? Maybe wait 3 seconds.

i am having problems with the ftp connecting as well. Is there any way to make the mirc client run a url in the background so that one could make a php script that catches the url and turns it into a db query which lists the users in there?

i'm sorry.. but this "no eggdrop" thing sux.. and letting mIRC be constantly in the channel is never going to work..

So i'm gonna take up my coding skills again and code you guys a .tcl for this... maybe even a whole new script..
