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've send the maker of the ftp.mrc script an email yesterday. Now he's made a new script.
This script works ok, even with large welcome messages.

I've attached the new ftp.mrc script.
Just rename the script to ftp.mrc.

[edit]
File attached was the wrong one. Did attach the right one now (zipped)

Installation was a breeze. I like the result. I'll be finicky though and state that half Ops are shown in Bold Italics with Ops being in just Bold as opposed to the higher rank having bold italics like on the board.

Anyone wanting that, in mIRC > Tools > Aliases, change

 if ($nick(#channel,%x) isop #channel) {
    write -a nicks.php <b>@ $+ $nick(#channel,%x) $+ </b> $+ , }
    elseif ($nick(#channel,%x) ishop #channel) {
    write -a nicks.php <b><i> $+ $chr(37) $+ $nick(#channel,%x) $+ </i></b> $+ , }

for

 if ($nick(#channel,%x) isop #channel) {
    write -a nicks.php <b><i>@ $+ $nick(#channel,%x) $+ </i></b> $+ , }
    elseif ($nick(#channel,%x) ishop #channel) {
    write -a nicks.php <b> $+ $chr(37) $+ $nick(#channel,%x) $+ </b> $+ , }

I suppose for a more round-the-clock updating several Ops should have the mIRC scripting. It'd be good if you could just give a bot the information and they'd be on all the time. Is that possible?

Finally, for those with busy chats, some may prefer the 'Current Chatters' to be a click-on and the names would show on another page there, rather than seeing 50-100 names on the main page. Not a major concern to me personally.
