Yes, we've all seen web based user control panels for IRCd services, however I've been working on this for a little while and would like people to take a look at http://ucp.lildevlz.net (Yes to have a look it does require that you have a registered nickname on our network) hopefully providing ideas and feedback in a constructive manner.
What it is:
UCP is a web based control panel for IRCd Services that allows users to do a lot more than the usual check your memos kinda stuff.
Current Features:
*HostServ Access: Users have the ability to manage (remove, request etc..) their vhosts. Opers have the ability to set, remove, etc... vhosts from the web panel.
*NickServ Access: Full NickServ access, users can drop nicknames, add and remove aliases and set every single option available including kill protection, autoop and so on.
*MemoServ Access: Of course this had to be here, yes full MemoServ access allowing userse to check, reply, send etc...
*Chanserv Access: Users have the ability to manage sop, aop, and access lists, set channel topics, and modes, along with a plethora of other commands.
*OperServ Access: Opers, Services Admins etc.. have full access to all OperServ commands, via the web panel.
ToDo:
*BotServ Access
*More Chanserv interaction
*Feedback and ideas
So what makes this different? Well apart from the above mentioned abilities, together with services using a MySQL database with full read/write access this web panel and our services have a class that allows them to communicate directly with one another without the need to talk to MySQL.
So instead of: (UCP) -> (MySQL DB) -> (Services)
We can do: (UCP) <-> (Services) This allows us to use all the security, and options already build into our services, and simply interact with it via the web. |

and how does your UCP interact with services?
XML-RPC? HTTP server-side client-server model? Services acting like a database server for the UCP to interact directly with? other? |

TCP Client to Server based communication.
Services, has its own socket server, that allows our UCP to talk directly to the services via TCP. |

While I've got no while papers kicking around, Orion services are open source, and provided ample documentation.
Orion:
| Code: | | svn co https://deepservices.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/deepservices/trunk |
The PHP Class that I use to talk to its web socket I've also opened up to the public:
http://lildevlz.net/services/ (Both download and docs are there)
Lastly UCP (when finished) will either be open source and available to all, or packaged with Orion. |

Nice code 
One suggestion I would make would be use trigger_error in lieu of die() so custom error handlers can kick in and do what they need to do (for example, send an email off automatically to the webmaster and return a user-friendly error message), for example your services.php/connect function | Code: | public function connect()
{
if (!is_resource ($this->ircd_socket))
{
$this->ircd_socket = fsockopen($this->socket_address, $this->socket_port, $this->error_num, $this->error_str, $this->socket_timeout);
}
if (!is_resource ($this->ircd_socket))
{
trigger_error (sprintf ('Error: (%d) %s', $this->error_num, $this->error_str));
}
return $this->ircd_socket;
} |

I have no "set" release date all I can say is it will be out when its done, once I feel its a little more completed I would be happy to toss up and SVN for users if I find there is interest for something like it. |

| This looks awesome. I was working on something similar using the live mysql feature of epona - it had the same nickserv/chanserv/memoserv/etc control features along with a whole bunch of generic community things like quotes, forums, etc. It was almost finished when I lost interest, plus the disappearance (again) of the epona dev made things a little difficult. |

Update: I've updated the source of my Class file and posted it, including the changes that PingBad suggested (thanks again), and added a few other things.
http://lildevlz.net/services/
Also as a side note I'm still working on the UCP however I feel confidant enough to say that by the end of this week I'll have a SVN up with a very beta version of our UCP in it, for those interested. If you would like to get in touch with me directly about features or things you would like to see included drop in on me @ irc.lildevlz.net -j #lildevlz
Thanks. |
