Send a message to a IRC Channel when a post has been made?

[FounderSim]

Anyone got a mod that will send a link to a IRC Channel when a new post has been made on your forums giving URL to post?

I don'tknow if PHP CAN post anything to IRC..

PHP can use sockets to connect to irc and send a message..

You might be able to make a bot that follows your RSS, but that's not really an SMF mod, and I doubt there's any easy way to have SMF communicate with IRC directly...

Looks like i'll have to code one as everyone doesn't even think its possible. It must not exist. I'll just edit the subs.post file to connect to irc join channel and post the post link =)... ;]

Sure it's possible, but it's not something I remember being requested before and it is a fairly niche feature.

Yeah well, everything is possible - but just for example, the logic in this post

I'll just edit the subs.post file to connect to irc join channel and post the post link =)... ;]

Doesn't really work - at least if you have a fairly busy forum You can't make your forum connect and join each time for each topic... Most IRC servers wouldn't allow that to begin with, and then there's the nickname problem - that you can not have multiple instances of one nickname on any given network at one time, and so on... It's not as simple as it sounds as an idea.
