Introduction

LuluBot is an irc bot written in PHP. Its role is to link irc activity to web visibility : logging, requests and queries, interaction, modification of web content from irc, etc ..

It also include all well-known goodies that we can expect from a modern ircbot : google search, dictionnary, fortune cookies, random behaviour, social and protocol dealing. That bot can also become a FOAF relay, and deal with human protocol in irc space.

LuluBot is a rewritting of TikiBot http://tikiwiki.org/TikiBot under LGPL licence with wider ability to interact with the web application.

$confport>'port' = 6667; // your irc port
$confnick>'nick' = 'lulubot'; // your irc nick
$confjoin>'join'[] = '#tikipro'; // your irc channel
{CODE}You can add multiple join channel lines.

define('TIKIPRO_NAME', 'tp.o');
define('TIKIPRO_PATH', '/home/htdocs/mywebapp/'); // don't forget ending slash
