How can I display on a website the number of people in a certain channel?
« on: August 18, 2006, 08:19:48 AM »
Hi folks,

I am looking for a way to show the visitors of my website, how many users are online in the IRC-Chat of our Website. The chat is run with UnrealIRCD 3.2.5 and Anope 1.6.4. Is there any way to display the amount of users in a certain channel on a website with Anope oder UnrealIRCD? Does one of you know a solution? Thank you in advance

Yours

Do you mean something like this:

DALnet has 33,134 users in 15,169 channels.

The Top 5 channels:
DALnet:
#jakarta (696)
#bandung (691)
#medan (417)
#surabaya (387)
#kampung (315)

that type of statistics and banner displayed stats are freely provided by http://searchirc.com/
SearchIRC can give you the java scripts for your network freely for your website. All you have to do is registered your network on their site and wait for activation :p

and also for reference, services like StatServ (eg: Denora / NeoStats etc.) can collect Networks/Channel(s) statistics too and displayed them on a webpage :9

Tnx noobie,

the Services you mention are not exaktly what I am looking for. All are just presenting regular statistics not the just in time status of a certain channel. I want a script that determines the amount of users in a certain channel, the moment it is started to display this Info on the Website. As far as i understood the mentioned services don't provide this.

I dont see why something like denora (spelling? you all know what i mean)  wouldnt be able to do this? it would be able to tell you the channel count of any channel whenever you asked for it.

I can vouch for Denora being able to do what is being requested here as you can clearly see from my site http://www.invictachat.co.uk All you need to do is set up Denora to connect to MySQL to store it's data which is easy and then use a simple PHP script to retrieve the data from the MySQL database.

And from the data saved by Denora you can get results such as: http://www.invictachat.co.uk/index.php?action=channels

My site is proof that Denora stats can produce the number of users on a channel and the overall number of users on the network at least. As well as being able to prduce a fair few other statistics.

My site doesnt even use half of the information made available by Denora.

For the record all the statistics on my site are live.

Ok seems like Denora is really able to deliver these Stats. I just have one simple question, how is Denora triggered to update the Stats? Is denora automatically doing this when anything in a channel changes, or is it done on a regular time-base, or do you have to trigger it manually?

Thanx

As Trystan said Denora writes to the SQL databases as soon as something changes. On larger networks where this would be a problem Denora also has i believe an option to have it update the SQL data periodically instead of live.

Thank you all guys, I installed Denora and made some simple php script to query the database now I got what I needed. Thanks for all your support.
