My clan has a private ventrilo server. I was wondering if its possible to have an option that hides it from certain usergroups? I searched through the forums for generic example of how to show based on usergroup but I'm not sure how to do this or which templates to modify.

Thanks for the script.

Just found out the original author of the ventrilo script updated it. It seems he was selling it but seems he is frustrated trying to support the script and is thinking about releasing it as open source. It would be nice if he does release it but it's just a maybe for now.
Here's the link http://www.backhallnades.net/vbullet...?page=ventdemo

One last thing I just found out my host will not allow queries outside their firewall. I was able to upload and run the original ventrilo script on the webspace they provide. Would it be possible to changed to includes to use the php files located on the ventrilo webhost from a remote webhost?

You shouldn't be uploading an .exe file to a unix-based host. Download the FreeBSD server package and use the included ventrilo_status file. I, personally, use this on my Debian machine.

I can add in usergroup support, that's not a problem. Also, that script you're showing is completely different than the one I am using. The basis for this hack was developed on the code created by the Ventrilo development team themselves.

As for not allowing queries, I'm afraid you've lost me. The only thing the hosting server needs to do is allow status requests, if they won't allow that, then this hack will not work for you. There's no way around that.

Great work magnus! Installed and works like a champ. I only wish you could create a VBAdvanced block module to have it show in a block on my main page.

Adding channel cats would be great also. :)

Thanks for all your hard work.

Ok so i decided to go with VBAdvanced instead of MKPortal :P I could really use this on the VBAdvanced portal in a block but my knowledge of PHP is non-existent :D would be really cool if you could do this ;). There is also a php nuke module for ventrilo http://phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=...ticle&sid=7791 which includes channels etc too but again i have no idea how to port this to VB :P

Thanks :) and fanatastic hack by the way

Great work!

okay, so this is probably a very stupid question but i am going to ask it anyway.

The absolute path is not described well enough for me.

I have placed the c:\inetpub\domain\forum\ventrilo_status.exe
the website (www.domain.com) root is c:\inetpub\domain

So I have tried all the combinations I could think of to get this to work and I cannot... also, do we not need to include the .exe?

would the absolute path be /domain/forum ?

I have tested the ventrilo_status.exe from the web server and it works with the ventrilo server so i cannot work out why this is not working for me, must be the obsolute path I think

Please help :tired:

Thanks FIRE

Works for me now. :)

Can anyone that has made this work please reply to my above post... please.

Okay seeing no one responded I kept trying and finally worked it out. It would seem my problem was related to windows permissions around the executable. I would highly reccomend to anyone that is having problems getting this extension to work to go to the Ventrlio home page and download the PHP Ventrilo Status Scripts http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php

It contains a very good readme file of how to set it up and some sample scripts that let you trouble shoot.

Once you have this working then you will be able to confidently get this plugin working.

Oh btw, thanks for this great VBulliten extension.
