WP-IRC WordPress Plugin

WP-IRC WordPress Plugin

Well WP-IRC Plugin (for lack of a better name ;) ) can fetch the number of users online in any IRC channel and can be scheduled to auto refresh it every x.minutes.

The count thus fetched can be displayed in the sidebar of your blog using a sidebar widget provided by the Plugin.

You can also allow users to subscribe to email alerts like, “alert me after x number of people has come online”.

Download

You can download the Plugin as a zip file from the WordPress Plugin repository.

Installation

Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page.

    Hi Sudar,

    I have displayed this error as i have ativated and saved from managed option:

    Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to irc.freenode.net:6667 (Connection refused) in /home/fullhd/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-irc/wp-irc.php on line 213

      @Rokoroko,

      You need to enable socket connection in your php.ini file. Ask your webhosting support team to do it and the Plugin should wok after that.

    Warning: set_time_limit() [function.set-time-limit]: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in /usr/home/web/web195496/wp-content/plugins/wp-irc/wp-irc.php on line 16

    http://www.squnk.dk i try to connect to quakenet.org
    what is wrong here

    • Sudar says:

      @Mafisto,

      You are getting this warning because safe mode is enabled in your webserver.

      In safe mode we cannot set time limit, but I am setting time limit so that the connection doesn’t timeout.

  • Mafisto says:

    So if my host do not alowe safe mode what can i do

    you said :
    but I am setting time limit so that the connection doesn’t timeout.
    can i remove that line 16 or what can i doo

    • Sudar says:

      @Mafisto,

      Comment out that line. It will reset the timeout to the default which is specified in your php.ini file and will also remove the warning message.

      Try it out and let me know if works.

    • Sudar says:

      @Mafisto,

      Yeah, I am using fscokopen to open a socket connection with the irc server.

      Nice to know that you like my code. It still needs some cleaning and I will try to see if I can retrieve the information without using sockets.

      You can contact me any time. You can find my email address in the contact page.

  • Mafisto says:

    i sure will do that
    i hope you will be able to come around the fsoxkets

  • Mafisto says:

    hey again did you look at the retrive information without using sockets.
    ye i no we are all bussy with stof we have sorry
    anyway when and if you can fix that problem i have many sugestions and things on my mind in developing this plugin :)
    regards kim denmark
    ps do you code in ather language and what language (code)

    • Sudar says:

      @Mafisto,

      I am sorry, I am yet to figure it out.

      Regarding your second question, I can code in a handful of languages like Java, Python, Ruby, JavaScript etc. But I prefer PHP most of the time.

  • Mafisto says:
