MagIRC

Thank you for your interest in MagIRC, a PHP-based Web Frontend for IRC Services released under the GPLv3 license.

About MagIRC

This software is a complete rewrite of phpDenora, a PHP-based Web Frontend for the Denora Stats project. In the future it will interface with other IRC services like Anope but the priority for now is to replace phpDenora since it is aged.

Main features

Smarty templating engine
jQuery-based UI with AJAX interactions
HTML5 and CSS3
Easy installation
Administration panel
Slick design

Requirements

Web Server with PHP 5.3+ and the pdo_mysql, mcrypt and gettext modules installed
Web Browser supporting HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript
Denora Stats server with MySQL enabled
Supported IRC Daemons: Bahamut, Charybdis, InspIRCd, ircd-rizon, IRCu, Nefarious, Ratbox, ScaryNet, Unreal

Limitations

The current version is considered to be alpha and has some known limitations:

English only: MagIRC already has gettext localization built in, but it will be activated only once the software is nearly finished to avoid too much work maintaining language files for rapidly changing code. This is scheduled for the beta release.
Only one default theme: MagIRC allows to install additional themes, but things need to be sorted out before fully this. This is scheduled for the release candidate.

Required Denora settings

Change this to a higher value, such as 15 days (15d) to keep information for a longer time. Important: the servercache value must NOT be smaller than the usercache value!

usercache 15d;
servercache 30d;

Change this to 1h

uptimefreq 1h;

Enable the following parameters by removing the '#' in front:

ctcpusers;
keepusers;
keepservers;

Disable the following parameter by adding a '#' in front:

#largenet;

Optional Denora settings

Limiting chanstats to +r users improves nick tracking. To use this feature enable the following parameters by removing the '#' in front:

ustatsregistered;
