TSxView: simple live viewer for Teamspeak 2 & 3

[Disasterpiece]

++++ ATTENTION! ++++++++++++++++++++++

This mod is outdated and has been replaced with an advanced version, covering more features: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=264573

Because the mod has been completely rewritten, this isn't considered a simple "update".
Please install the new mod as I won't offer any more support for this one.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++




[Old version:]

Welcome everyone!

You can find here a simple Teamspeak online-viewer for your forum.
You don't have to edit core files, just a small plugin file with a php libary and everything should work fine.

If you want to have an overview about how it's looking in the end, check out the screenshots included with this post.

The vBulletin 3.8.x Version of this mod is located here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231927).



INFO
====

Current Version: (please report bugs, issues and any other feedback)
Author: Andreas Rudolph <radon@ggmj.de> (aka Radon)

This is a vB 3 / 4 Plugin with a simple who-is-in-teamspeak box.
Tested with:
- TS2
- TS3 Beta 9
- vBulletin 4.0.0
- vBulletin 3.8.2


ADDITIONAL FILES
================

There are two libaries included with this script which are necessary for php-sided teamspeak query.
You don't need both files, if you're using one teamspeak version only.

ts2status.php by Guido van Biemen (aka MrGuide@NL)
ts3status.php by Sebastien Gerard <sebeuu@gmail.com>


INSTALLATION
============

Extract the archive and upload the libary files into "/forum/includes/" directory.
Install the correct plugin xml file in your vBulletin ACP.
If you are updating, make sure to allow overriding of previous plugin versions.


UPGRADING
=========

To upgrade the plugin, proceed as you'd install a new product by navigating to the
"Plugins & Products -> Manage Products" group and klick "[Add/Import Product]"
Choose the pluginfile for your vBulletin version and make sure to check "Allow Overwrite" before
you import the updated plugin.

If you have problems after upgrading the plugin, write down your plugin's settings, un-install the
addon and install it again.

If you made any changes to the templates, the template records will not be deleted!
After the installation you'll have to re-enter your configurations, because these won't be saved!


CONFIGURATION
=============

By default the plugin is disabled in its options to prevent error warnings.
You can access the configuration by "Settings -> Teamspeakx Viewer".
After you entered the correct information, you can enable the viewer with the first option.

The most important settings:

- Enable / Disable TSxViewer:
This should be enabled for the actual plugin to work. Make sure to enable it *after* you
configured your plugin.

- Teamspeak Version:
If you want to query a TS2 server, switch this to "NO", otherwise leave it to "YES".

- Server IP:
Simply enter the IP, you're using to connect to your teamspeak server.

- Teamspeak 2 Port:
If you're using Teamspeak 2, you have to specify the connection port. This is important,
because if more virtual servers are running on the same machine, this port is used to
identify the correct server and it's used to display a Join link so user can connect through
your forum.
This is the port number you use in your Teamspeak 2 application behind the IP.
If you're using this ip in your TS2 Connection window: "123.123.123.123:8767", your TS2 port
is "8767".
If you're using Teamspeak 3, this setting is obsolete, because the port is transfered
through the query anyway.

- Queryport:
The teamspeak server uses a certain port where it listens for incoming queries.
For TS2 servers, you find this port in the server.ini file, which is located in the same
directory as the server binary is.
In the server.ini, look for a like called "TCPQueryPort". The port number is the value
after the "=".
For TS3 servers, you find this port in the ts3server.ini file, which is located in the same
directory as the server binary is.
In the ts3server.ini, look for a like called "query_port". The port number is the value
after the "=".

If you don't have access to these ini files, ask your server administrator or server
provider for these informations.

- VServer ID:
Teamspeak 3 servers aren't identified by their port number anymore.
Each virtual server gets an unique ID to differ it from the others.
In order to query the correct Teamspeak server, you have to specify its id. This is
important, if the machine TS3 is running on, provides more virtual servers than one.
In this case, you may ask your server provider for the correct ID of your server or ask your
server admin.
You usually find this ID in the server's log files too.


TROUBLESHOOTING / F.A.Q
=======================

- I get the error message "Socket error" or "Connection refused"
-> This is mostly the case, if you entered the wrong IP or port information.
Regardless if the port and ip is correct, the script sends a query to ask if the server
is "there" and answers. If no answer comes back, the script gives back these error messages.
Also check if you use the correct connection method. If your server is Teamspeak 2, it makes
no sense to query it with Teamspeak 3 methods and vice-versa.

- The who-is-online list prints out players who aren't on my server
-> You probably entered the wrong server port (for TS2) or the wrong vServerID (for TS3) and
the script is querying the wrong server.
Make sure you're using your server's data.

- I'm getting a blank site with PHP errors of classes that could not be found
-> You forgot to upload the query libaries or you put it in the wrong place.
Make sure you uploaded the necessary php files into the ./forum/includes directory and set
the correct permissions so the webserver can access it.
Also check if you're using the correct version.
If you update the plugin file, always update the libary file(s) too!


CUSTOMIZATION
=============

To customize the template, you'll find it in the forumhome Templategroup as "forumhome_tsviewer"
If you want advanced customization of the output code, you have to edit the plugin code.

To display the viewer in a different position, you can edit the output template hook.
In the plugin's code, find
"$hookpos = 'forumhome_wgo_pos'.$vbulletin->options['tsx_displayposition'];"
And change the 'forumhome_wgo_pos' to any other hook you want the output to appear.
Since the forumhome template has 5 positions (forumhome_wgo_pos1, forumhome_wgo_pos2, ...,
forumhome_wgo_pos5), you have to remove
"$vbulletin->options['tsx_displayposition'];"
if your preferred hook has no number at its end.
If there is no output at all, you probably used an invalid hookname.

For usage with teamspeak2, you can also put an icon file "teamspeak.gif" into the misc dir of your
image folder. This icon will be displayed on the left side of the output row.
If you want to use an other icon file or rebuild the output row, you have to edit the forumhome_tsview
template to fit your needs.

[Safe Stars]

This could benefit from some better installation instructions. A lot better.

Mine simply shows "Currently in TS: -1 User
Socket error: Connection refused [111]"

Using TS3.

[Disasterpiece]

This error appears, when the server is not responding.
Do you have set the correct query port?

Is your TS3 running on a local machine behind a NAT? Do you have redirected the ports correctly?

[Safe Stars]

Yes it's querying the right port, no it's not on a local machine, it's running on a dedicated server from a hosting company.

I've used TSViewer.com before to query it and had no issues, but it also used the port, not a virtual server ID.

[Disasterpiece]

I didn't write the code for the actual query, i just wrote the connection between the query and vB :)
But if you PM me detailed data about your ts server (ip, port, virtual server id, queryport) i'm sure i can help you out.

Install instructions will be updated soon.

[juscampin]

Does anyone have this working?

[Disasterpiece]

Does anyone have this working?

Hi

You can PM me with your settings in the ACP, then i'll take a look if something is missing.
Apparently, there might be some misunderstanding regarding the settings of the plugin, so i'd like to find out where the problem is.

[pointy]

Hi mate.

I installed the plugin, no errors
Uploaded the files to the forum/includes/ dir
Edited the settings

It does not show up in the 'Whats going on' area at all, not even the title shows up.
Any ideas?

EDIT - my apology - was meant to post this in the 3.8.x version area (now posted there)

[Disasterpiece]

Hi pointy!

2 possibilities:

1) did you enable the plugin in the top setting? Otherwise it won't do anything at all

2) did you modify your style (forumhome respectively) so that some hooks were removed/modified?
Do the following:
Edit your FORUMHOME template and search for "forumhome_wgo_pos".
You should find 5 positions with "$template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos1]" to 5 as i wrote in the customization section of the readme.
If you don't find them, just place a line
"$template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos2]"
somewhere where you think it might fit your needs.
I suggest to put it in the what's going on box.

If this doesn't work, please tell me your vB version and what style you're using (if not the default style)


regards

[pointy]

Hi mate

Thanks for your help

I got it working, but its not displaying any image?

www.bestgn.net.au/forums

EDIT - there is no image available in the specified location? is there meant to be?

[Disasterpiece]

Hi

It's normal that there isn't an image for that.

Either you rename the image file in the template, or you place a custom teamspeak icon in your images/misc directory.

In the next release I'll provide a teamspeak icon.

[pointy]

I had a mate do an image up quickly, but supplying the image would be a bonus for sure.

Great mod mate. Good work!

[Cface]

Maybe you will add the ability to check for specific channels within a server in later features? Or is this already a function?

[Disasterpiece]

@Cface: I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want to query only a single or two channels instead of the whole server?

[Hollanda]

I'll get this error: XML Error: Unknown at Line 1

[Disasterpiece]

Hi

Open the xml install file and change the first line from:
<?xml version="0.1" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
to:
<?xml version="0.1" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
(Remove the whitespace left of the closing ?> part)

Seems to be a common error, so I updated the package.

[RMonster]

Hi I'm getting:

XML Error: XML_WAR_UNKNOWN_VERSION at Line 412

[RMonster]

fixed by:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

[Disasterpiece]

Hi I'm getting:

XML Error: XML_WAR_UNKNOWN_VERSION at Line 412

When i try to add the product

Hi

I have never heard of this and i have absolutely no idea what this could be, but try to remove the tab whitespace in the last line of the plugin's xml file:

</product>
becomes:
</product>

And try uploading it again.
Maybe this works? :confused:

[RMonster]

changing the first line to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

fixed it.

I think it didn't like the 3 place decimal points in the version string.
Thanks for the great mod btw!

[Disasterpiece]

oh, okay. next version will be 1.1 then ;D

thanks for your help!

[Fr4n-FX]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Doctor Death]

Any chance of getting this for ventrilo?

Thanks!

[Disasterpiece]

A few more integrations like Vent and Mumble are planned, but before this, a general feature adjustment like caching is planned.

So it might take some time.

[Doctor Death]

Thanks for that response... I look forward to it!!

[RMonster]

hi I seem to have a formatting issue.

Whenever i enable ts viewer, it messes with vb css, see attached.

I tried changing some things but it still does it.

Any ideas?

[Disasterpiece]

Just updated the Plugin.

Please use the latest version and replace the old ts libary files, then everything should work :)

[Disasterpiece]

i'll look into it.

give me some time.

[Disasterpiece]

Problem found. Please read the notice in the mod description:

*** IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR TS3 BETA 15 AND HIGHER ***

With the latest release (Beta 15) of the teamspeak 3 server, ts3 has introduced a query flood protection which bans every ip, which queries the teamspeak server too often in a short period of time.
To exclude ips from this procedure, edit the query_ip_whitelist.txt in your ts3 server directory.
For those who don't have access to this file, consult your service provider.
The next major version of this plugin will include some techniques to deal with this limitation. Stay tuned.

Also notice, that the newest ts3 server version (beta 15) requires client version of beta 11 or higher.

Please read the version notes and the documentation of teamspeak3 itself to get further information: http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=home

is it possible to display this mod only for selected usergroups?

The conditions for my page would be <vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6,7,11,12)">, but i downt knwo where to modify the code. My trys always ended in several php error messages.

i now have got it installed but it always shows that on the teamspeak 3 server is no user, also if there is someone on it.

how can that be? can you/someone help me please.

thanks.

[Disasterpiece]

You can edit the template "forumhome/tsviewer" and put this info in the first line. Or replace the template's code with this one:

<!-- TSxViewer -->
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6,7,11,12)">
<div id="ts_viewer" class="wgo_subblock collapse">
<h3><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/users_online.png" alt="TSxViewer" />{vb:raw phrase_tsx_currentuser}</h3>
<div>
{vb:raw tsxview_output}
</div>
</div>
</vb:if>
<!-- /TSxViewer -->
(not tested, but should work)

Sorry, can i show only a specific channel??
Currently not without changing the code files on your own. This feature will be supported in the next major update.

i now have got it installed but it always shows that on the teamspeak 3 server is no user, also if there is someone on it.

how can that be? can you/someone help me please.

thanks.
It is most likely, that you used the wrong server ID (Teamspeak 3) or used the wrong server port (TS2).
If your TS server is hosted by a provider, ask him what your serverID is (TS3) or which query port you should use (TS2)
If the problem persists, you can PM me your TS data and I can take a look.

[Kaosvf]

Currently not without changing the code files on your own. This feature will be supported in the next major update.

Ok, i wait... xD

[Disasterpiece]

If you tell me which TS version you're using, I could give you a quick-fix für the libary files...

[Kaosvf]

ts3

[relaxiha]

Socket error: Connection refused [111]

hmm, this is a bit more complex than i initially thought. Might be too much of a mess to change it on-the-fly for now.
I'll check it as soon as I have more time to work on the update.

Socket error: Connection refused [111]
Perhaps a bit more information so I can help you?
TS2? TS3? Did you check ip, port & serverID?
This response indicates, that any connection data is not correct.

Nice Mod Ty !!!!

[heagen]

Any chance to get a feature to show multiple Teamspeak 2 & 3 status at the same time ?

Thanks for this great mod !

[Disasterpiece]

Hi

I already thought of this, but then every additional server would increase the page generation time. Again, this is a point for the next major update.

[MudRacing]

we have problem: "Invalid query. Check settings!" but setting is currectly, how need for ts2?

[Disasterpiece]

Hi

This happens, when the teamspeak server gives an invalid or empty response.
Check the query port if
- It's the correct port (did you mix it up with the standard join port?)
- The machine where the ts server is running on does forward this port properly, in case your server is behind a firewall

If the problem persists, please send me a pm with details about
your teamspeak's server ip, port and queryport so i can take a look.

[yoni007]

Hi,

I'm currently have three servers (two ts3 and one ts2), how I do to show all servers in forum page?

Of course, different config, IPs...

Please, can you help me?

Thanks :)

[Disasterpiece]

Hi

This is -sadly- not possible at the moment without re-writing the whole plugin.

[yoni007]

Well, then how I do to show flags (icons) for ts3 and if possible for ts2 also.

I tried, but did not work...

Thanks.

[Disasterpiece]

Flags are not implemented, the idea of this plugin was a simple text-output.
Do you only want to put the same icon in front of the users or do you need the flags according to their status?

[yoni007]

or do you need the flags according to their status?

TS2, if possible, U, R, CA, SA is most important.

Yes (port bloqued) in your host. Or, you don't added your host IP in "white_list".

Good luck!

hrmm the port shouldnt be blocked business plans with internode usually are not blocked running a box at my company all port forwarding is set on our routers firewall are not on running service on Win 2003 R2 enterprise...

P.S i tried PUTTY Telnet to the system but it doesnt say it cannot connect all it does is hangs with the normal black box which you cant type anything....if that info helps.... i tried open port check online 10011 is open and successful.....

If you are sure that Queryport, IP and (for TS3 only) ServerID are correct, then it's possible that any kind of firewall, port/functionality restriction of the webserver or the server teamspeak is running on blocks the connection.

I'd suggest to re-check the settings, if you have problems finding the information like serverid, queryport, use ts manual or ask in the teamspeak support forums or ask your provider if he can tell you the correct connection data.

If all of this doesn't help, you can contact me via pm with your connection details, then i also may take a look at it.

Regarding further updates:
I'm sorry that this is delaying, but I simply don't have any spare time for this project at the moment. There is so much else for me to work on.
Nevertheless, I won't give up on this, so the changes will come, as soon as i get time to work on it.
Don't forget to mark the plugin as installed if you use it, this will always encourage me to keep on working on the plugin!

According to some results i found in the web, this might help you: http://forum.teamspeak.com/showthread.php?t=51770

Regarding the ip, i assume you're hosting the ts3 server from your home pc or a pc behind your router?
If it's the case, you should check, if all necessary ports are forwarded correctly.
Teamspeak 3 documentation and your router's manual should help you with that if that is the case.

How can I use this in a cms widget?

[Disasterpiece]

Not yet.
Unfortunately, all major vB cms tools cost money. And since i haven't one of those and only use the regular vBulletin, i'm afraid i can't help you with this :(

[BadgerDog]

Hello ...

Lately, I've noticed a single user constantly trying to connect to our server, almost every minute or so. :confused:

Ironically, it seems to be our own host server used for our forum members to post messages and it's also the place in some cases from which they can initiate TeamSpeak session using this add-on mod.

So, any idea why our vBulletin server would all of a sudden be continually tying to connect to our TeamSpeak 3 server constantly, when it was doing that previous to the last few weeks?

The only thing new is we recently upgraded too V4.0.4pl1

Anyone else seeing anything else like this?

Appreciate any guidance ? :)

Regards,
Doug

[Disasterpiece]

Hm, never noticed any behaviour like this.
I suspect, that either searchbots are trying to follow the link, connecting to the teamspeak server, but to do so, they must know how to use the teamspeak3 protocol, which i don't think is the case.
In the first beta versions of ts3, teamspeak displayed the connect/disconnect events of an anonymous user, who was used by the tsviewer to connect, grab the list of everyone who is online, disconnect and display that information on the website.
Fortunately, this has been patched several beta versions ago.
There might be a problem with your teamspeak3 server configuration, but i'm not so much into ts3 server config.

Could you provide a screenshot of what exactly is going on?

[BadgerDog]

Could you provide a screenshot of what exactly is going on?

The tech support from the paid hosted TS3 server site said it appears to be coming from our site and is more than likely the query client that is logging in to check who's on-line?

I've sent you via PM the log detail generated by the TS3 server...

As I mentioned, it never used to happen and we haven't changed anything, except to update to 4.0.4pl1 and also install the most current client version of TS3, which I can't see having any impact. I've tested the functionality of the TS3 server and loading through your mod from Windows and it works fine (doesn't work through Safari and Firefox on a Mac though).

It just looks odd to see the "Who's Chatting" number keep flipping from 0 to 1 frequently, but when you look there's no user name because the login was rejected.

Thanks for your help .. :)

Regards,
Doug

[Disasterpiece]

Well, seems to me like a teamspeak-related issue.
Try this:
in your client..
settings/options/application
uncheck..show serverquery clients.

How the teamspeak server is queried can't really changed as far as I know. But this setting seems to hide these query information.

Thank you ... :)

Here's what I changed to "NO" on our TS3 hosted server settings .. correct item?

It has always been "YES", so I'm not sure why it started to log all this stuff, unless the hosting company or a new iteration of the TS3 server side software was altered....

Any suggestions

[Disasterpiece]

Hi

Please check if you have any whitespaces or newlines in your xml file. The xml file should contain the "<" as very first character and the ">" as very last character in the xml file. No whitespaces or newlines, otherwise the install script may throw an error.

I will check the plugin with the newest version tomorrow and see if the newest version might cause the problem.

Hi

Are you sure, that you got the correct query port and that the teamspeak server's communication ports aren't blocked by a firewall?

If the problem persists, you can PM me the following information:
- Teamspeak version (2/3)
- Teamspeak server IP
- For TS3: serverID
- For TS2: query Port
- Where and how your teamspeak server is hosted. On your own root server/home server/rented by a provider

I think it might be an issue with my router, but I’m not 100% sure.

I read your entire thread and saw a similar issue. I’m hosting the TS server from home, and the website is hosted by a company.

I used a port checker and it said that my 10011 is open but it couldn’t ping the router. That might be the issue?

[Scan Cape Cod]

I'm having a somewhat bizarre problem that I'm trying to nail down. First, the basics:

Using TS3 Server latest build installed on a Windows XP Pro PC in my house. All appropriate ports are forwarded, everything is fine in that regard.

Using latest TS3 clients on various different PC's as well as other people experiencing the same problem, which is:

When we click on the Join Link from the website, we are seeing the following pop-up message prior to the TS3 Client running:

"Your icon path: 'default' does not exist... Please consider to reinstall Teamspeak 3 or choose another icon pack." with an OK button below it. When OK is clicked we are able to log into the server but as indicated all icons are gone.

This ONLY occurs when the join link is used to start the TS3 client and enter the server. If the TS3 client is already running the problem does not occur. Starting the TS3 client manually, the problem does not occur. It's ONLY when using the join link to start TS3 and enter the server.

This has been tested in both Firefox and IE8 with the same results, from multiple computers in multiple locations, with the same error message.

I'm at a loss. Does anyone have any idea? Other than this little bugaboo I'm having this mod works quite nicely.

Thanks in advance!

This looks like a great mod and would love to use it. One problem.We use Ventrilo.

Is there a Ventrilo version for theis mod? Or can can it modified for Ventrilo?

Hmm, never heard of anything related to this issue.

There has been an TS3 update lately, so I suspect some weird TS-related bug there.
Fact is, this seems 99% to be a ts3-related problem, so this might not be the correct place to ask for help. The only thing I included, was a ts3 connection link, as provided by the ts3 dev documentation. So nothing much to do here I guess.

You're right of course. Had I been thinking last night I would have tried to duplicate this error by creating a shortcut on the Windows desktop. I did so this morning and got the same results so it is most certainly NOT this mod. Sorry for the waste of bandwidth! :rolleyes:

Hello,

I have looked at your customization section and also done quite a bit of searching here to no avail.

What I'm trying to accomplish is a way to use the link for joining the Teamspeak server in another area of the website, so if a person clicks on it he or she is logged into Teamspeak 3 with their registered vBulletin username.

My beginner status with code has got the better of me. Can you make any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

[Disasterpiece]

Hi

Sure, can help you with that.
I assume, that the actual Teamspeak Viewer and the Joinlink should be displayed at two different positions? Then what you need is the name of the second templatehook where you want the joinlink to be displayed. If you use the default vB4 template, this should be easy. I could tell you the hookname if you tell me where you want the link to be displayed.

The only change you've to do with the plugin is this:
In your AdminCP, go to plugin management, edit the "TSxViewer: Main" plugin.
There you can see some php code in the big textarea.
The best would be to simply copy the whole content into a texteditor where you can see and access the line numbers. This would be easier to work with.

- In line 40, change:
$op .= '<span style="padding-left:20px" class="tssjoinlink">'

to:
$jlink = '<span style="padding-left:20px" class="tssjoinlink">'



- In line 88, change:
$op .= '<span style="padding-left:20px" class="tssjoinlink">'

To:
$jlink = '<span style="padding-left:20px" class="tssjoinlink">'



- In line 104, add:
$template_hook['yourhookname'] .= $jlink;


Where "yourhookname" should be replaced with the template hook you want the joinlink to be displayed.

This basically splits the join link from the teamspeak viewer output and lets you place it somewhere else.
I didn't test this myself, due to lack of a vbulletin installation at the moment :P
Tell me if you get any problems with this.

[Scan Cape Cod]

Thanks for the quick reply. I want to add your code to the top of the following page, if possible.

http://www.scannewengland.net/forums/misc.php?do=page&template=tsviewer

Ideally I'd like to put it right where the "Enter Server" link is showing. The server viewer that is showing is inside of an iframe. I plan on shutting off the login box within once I have this working.

I'm not sure what the hookname for this would be, unless it's custom_tsviewer, which is what the template is called. Pardon my ignorance; trial by fire here! :D

Again, my thanks.

[Scan Cape Cod]

Actually it might just be easier for me to figure out what I need to do to make this link automatically take the currently logged on user's username:

ts3viewer://snechat.no-ip.org?port=9987?nickname=HERE'S WHERE THINGS GO DOWN THE TUBES FOR ME...

I am trying to find the answer by searching up vBulletin Template Variables, HTML code, etc, but I'm just not quite there...actually I don't think I'm even close! :D

[Scan Cape Cod]

Well, I've learned a lot. I learned how to create a custom hook by editing the hooks_vbulletin.xml file and also how to place them in the proper location on a php page. The code you sent me kills the link in the original position of the plug-in, and then doesn't display it in the new location.

If you still have time to give me a handhold, would you prefer to take this to PM? I don't want to jam up this thread with something not entirely relevant to it. I'll be more specific and provide examples there if you're agreeable.

Thanks.

UPDATE!

----

To everyone who is following this mod, the next major version (1.2) is nearly in beta stage, which means I need some people to test it for me, if there are any issues or suggestions which should go into the release version.

Here some key features what's new in 1.2:

- Support of multiple server viewer at once!
You have a variety of voicetool server you want to display? Then this is right for you!
- Support of more Voicetools!
Actually it was planned to support Mumble as well, but only Ventrilo made it as addition to TS2/TS3 into this version. Why? Read below...
- Query caching!
Probably the most interesting new feature: Query per cronjob, display from cache! Weee!
- Status logging!
Now you can monitor your server's status via cron logfiles and see when a server times out and when he's back on!
- Better backend Structuring
Since more features require more space and own scripts to work, the viewer tool now has its own AdminCP section. Also, nearly the whole code has been re-written to be better and faster.


Read on for explanations on why and how these changes affect the plugin:


----

- Support of multiple server viewer at once!

This is accomplished by a list of servers who can be created via admin interface. There you can activate/deactivate the server, see their online/offline status and the details you've entered. If you have only 1 server, then you're fine too. If you're managing more servers at once, you'll find this pretty handy.
122400


- Support of more Voicetools!

I actually wanted to support TS2, TS3, Ventrilo and Mumble, but mumble has such an awful API for developers, that it simply was not possible to create a working status query without additional php extensions. Too complicated for now, the next minor version might include an API for those who are skilled enough to install the required extensions by themselves.
Anyhow, Ventrilo is supported now!!! Since I got many pms asking if Ventrilo can be supported too, well, here ya go. Hope it helps many people!


- Query caching!

The standard method of getting a userlist out of the server is to query the server every time you build up your forum page.
Which means, if 200 people view your forumhome page, then the teamspeak server gets 200 queries per minute. Which is unnecessary.
Now, all active servers get queried by an automated scheduled job, which runs every 10 minutes by default, with the option to reduce the delay to 1 minute. (sadly, vBulletin does not offer a delay between 1 and 10 minutes. duh)
So if you receive 200 pageviews per minute, or 2000 pageviews in 10 minutes, your servers only get queried once in this time. Sounds cool, eh?


- Status logging!

As additional feature to vB cronJobs, the script will now create a logfile entry everytime a server which was online times out or an offline server gives a positive response.
Can be a nice feature to monitor your server's uptime.
122401


- Better backend Structuring

Now there's too much for a single setting page, so the whole content has been split up and now looks better and tidy.
Not much of a feature here, the fact that most of the plugin's code has been re-written might sound better to you.
So it's much easier for me to implement further features and the template is easier for you to customize.
Skilled php programmer can even modify the plugin's code to fit their special needs, in the releaseversion will most of the code be commented so it should be easy to understand.


Beta testers needed!

I have finished most of my work on the plugin, so it's ready to be thrown out into the wild.
If you're interested to help me out with some review and beta-testing, the plugin can be released even faster.
I need a functionality and a usability check, perhaps you find some errors I didn't see or have a few suggestions to make life more easier for you.
Drop me a line via PM (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/private.php?do=newpm&u=198844) with the info which vB version you're using and how skilled you are with vBulletin administration and programming/php.

[red-dna]

Hello there. I have a different port for my ts3 server,than the default one. And as the Port setting is ignored in Ts3 Servers, i cant have my server appear right.

My port is: 4261 - Any way to set it right?

Thnx

[Disasterpiece]

Hi

If you entered the correct serverID and IP, the port should be automatically retrieved from the teamspeakserver's response.
Does it display the wrong port?

[red-dna]

I entered the right id and ip, but it doesnt work. I try to click on the join Teamspeak and it loads my ts and inside it displays that it trying to connect to the default port, so i assumed for this it doesnt work.

[Disasterpiece]

Did you check the url? It should contain the port. If it's the wrong one, this could be a bug with the plugin. In this case I could give you a workaround to use your custom port in any case, the next version will fix this issue then.

Is there any 4.0.8 tempate fix?

---

FYI:

Because of an enormous lack of time due to my studies, I cannot provide extended support anymore.
This was a bit unforseeable for me too, but that's the way it is and please bear with me.
Because of this I changed the modification from "supported" to "unsupported" for the time being.

I know there are a lot of mails and queries in my mailbox right now and I'm trying to work them off one by one. Keep in mind that all time I spend on this is from my free time over the weekend, after I finish work on the projects I actually get "paid" for.

If you decide to use this mod, the best thing would be to bring in advanced knowledge of html/php/vbulletin so you can fix the biggest issues before I can do. If you make any progress, feel free to post them here for others too.
If you run in trouble and can't fix it by yourself, send a PM to me and I'll help you as soon as I get some time to check on it.

Is there any 4.0.8 tempate fix?
That's a weird bug I couldn't identify yet. I suspect some css to be the problem.
Try to copy a complete row from the FORUMHOME template so you have the css class structure and paste it to the tsviewer template, replacing the templatevars accordingly. That should do the trick.

[Wood 20th*]

Great Thanks for this..

but I'm getting this issue now.. "TS3 Server returned the following error: error id=2568 msg=insufficient client permissions failed_permid=8472"

any suggestions?

With the server IP in with the Port at the end I'm now seeing this error.

"Currently in TS: -1 User

@Wood: It seems that you didn't grant the permission to query your server.

Please contact the teamspeak support forum (http://forum.teamspeak.com/) on how to solve this, because the problem is beyond the scope of my modification.

[tlwwolfseye]

Just wondering, which Stylevars I have to adapt to make the font color different that shows the users currently in Teamspeak ?

Because I use a theme where the part with the usernames in TS is on a white background. So with the font in #ccc thats of course almost unreadable. What & where would I need to change that it shows for example in a black font ?

Thanks in advance.

Wolfseye

[Antyrael]

I didn't really like the way it looks by default: the title text is not bold and the alignment isn't the same as the Currently Active Users list.
So I made a little change to the template forumhome_tsxview.

I'm running vB4.1 with the latest patchlevel.
This is my new forumhome_tsxview, in case anyone would like the same look as I have now:
<!-- TSxViewer -->
<div id="ts_viewer" class="wgo_subblock section">
<h3 class="blocksubhead"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/teamspeak2.jpg" alt="TSxViewer" />{vb:raw phrase_tsx_currentuser}</h3>

<div>
{vb:raw tsxview_output}
</div>
</div>
<!-- /TSxViewer -->

As you can see, I uploaded a teamspeak2.jpg file, personally I like it better than the same users online icon.

Could be caused by a long respone time from the teamspeak servers. Try reducing your query timeout value.
Also, when you ping your teamspeak server from the machine the forum is hosted on, what latency times do you get?

[BadgerDog]

Well, I've been using this excellent mod for almost a year and it's been working fine, however, two days agi it stopped working and began presenting this error message when anyone tries to connect to the server fron vb4.04pl ...

TS3 Server returned the following error: error id=2568 msg=insufficient client permissions failed_permid=8472

We've changed nothing and the host provider (Lightspeed) claims they've changed nothing.

When we click the link to join the server, we get this error message:

<11:53:38>
Trying to connect to server on 174.xx.xx.xx:9987
Failed to connect to server

I put XX's in to preserve privacy.

The host provider keeps insisting we have the wrong port and claim it should be 4128 and not 9987 as shown. I keep telling them that 4128 is NOT used for TS3 and they say a port IS required. I don't even know where the value 9987 is coming from?

What a circle jerk, considering everything was working fine for almost a year, so something must be different on their end?

I tried a manual connect to our server using the TS3 client and 174.xx.xx.xx:4128 and it works fine, which confuses me even more? :confused:

How can I get this mod to pass 4128 in its "connect string", even though it's a TS3 server and says it shouldn't need it, which as of two days ago seems to satisfy something on the host and permit it to connect, or am I misdiagnosing the problem altogether?

Appreciate any feedback ... :)

Regards,
Doug

[Disasterpiece]

Well, you could try to change that 9987 to 4128, that would be the obvious case.
When you connect to your ts3 server using teamspeak 3, what does the connection window say exactly? You have an IP and a port there, and this is the same connection info required for the joinlink to work.

9987 is the default port, so if you didn't need to specify it in your ts3 before, you should now need to do so, because if you leave it blank, ts3 automatically tries port 9987 first.

[BadgerDog]

Well, you could try to change that 9987 to 4128, that would be the obvious case.

Thanks .. :)

Where do I make that change in your code? :confused: That's the value in the TS3 host settings and has been for the last year.


When you connect to your ts3 server using teamspeak 3, what does the connection window say exactly?

It says in the TS3 client window when the program loads and executes:

============================
Trying to connect to server on 174.137.xx.xx:9987
Failed to connect to server
============================


You have an IP and a port there, and this is the same connection info required for the joinlink to work. 9987 is the default port, so if you didn't need to specify it in your ts3 before, you should now need to do so, because if you leave it blank, ts3 automatically tries port 9987 first.

I think you're right and perhaps a new iteration of TS3 server code expects to see a specific port now. So, where can I specific that port it in the mod's AdminCP screen? :confused:

The only place it would go (I think) is in your mod's AdminCP field for TS2:

Teamspeak 2 Port
Which port to use for join link
TS2 Default: 8767
TS3 Default: -ignored-

However, I don't use TS2 and so it's a irrelevant entry? BTW, the value 4128 has been plugged in there for the last year and the TS3 client always connected properly, but even with this field blank as a test, I still get the error message from the TS3 client shown above.

As I said, if I manually use the TS3 client by just loading it on it's own outside of vBulletin without using your mode, it loads fine, as long as I use port 4128. TS3 client shows:

========================================
Trying to connect to server on 174.137.xx.xxx:4128
Connected to server
For help goto http://www.InstantTeamSpeak.com/teamspeak-server-support.php
You subscribed to all channels
========================================

If I hover over the link created by this mod in order to load the TS3 client, it shows ...

ts3server://174.137.xx.xx/?port=&nickname=Badger&password=test

Note port= has no value, but I don't think it ever has when it ran the TS3 client over the last year. I ran a test and simply typed the above line into the browser, except I put a value in the field port= that the mod hasn't been adding.

ts3server://174.137.xx.xx/?port=4128&nickname=Badger&password=test

It executes fine ... :confused:

So, I suspect that the TS3 server code now requires a port field value (like TS2 servers do), which it never has in the past? How can I get it to put 4128 in that field, if there's no AdminCP field to out it in?

Thanks for any guidance... :up:

Regards,
Doug

[Disasterpiece]

Yeah, heard of that bug before. Weird, I'm sure I double-checked, oh well.

I'll update the above mod files tonight, this should solve the problem.

Much appreciated ... :up:

I'm baffled why it work flawlessly for almost a year, then all of a sudden not connect any longer to our TS3 server.

Anyway, if there was a field to plug in the port for a TS3, that embedded the value in the load string as I showed above, it would probably address the problem that's cropped up for whatever reason.

Thanks again ... :)
