Would it be possible to call in images like those in the screenshot attached?

Yeah, maybe that's something I'll release in the next release.

I have one project left ahead of updating these... then I'll get to work on it.

I'm one of the unfortunate few who can't run this due to hosting restrictions:
Warning: escapeshellcmd() has been disabled for security reasons in [path]/includes/ventrilo/ventrilostatus.php on line 383
Can't find or run ventrilo_status
Please check your permissions on ventrilo_status

For the prerequisites for install as well as Safe Mode you should check whether escapeshellcmd is disabled in PHP. We are using HostDime in case you want to add it to your list of unsupported hosts. We are still waiting to hear back from the server admins as to whether they will work with us on this but until then, anyone know of any workarounds to this?

EDIT: The hosting provider worked with us to allow this mod however it still gives the error message:
No response.
Please check your Ventrilo Settings.

I checked the settings and they are correct. If anyone has any ideas or if this may still be an issue with the host I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks guys.

So i installed this mod and i'm pretty sure i did everything Correct that i was supposed to and i get this error message

Warning: popen(./includes/ventrilo/ventrilo_status.exe -c2 -tla2.ventriloservers.biz:3967,r): No error in [path]\includes\ventrilo\ventrilostatus.php on line 387

Unknown Error.
PHP Unable to spawn shell.

i'm not sure what else needs to be done

Hey Crimm, I'm having the common pathing error.
Can't find or run ventrilo_status
Please check your permissions on ventrilo_status

Get Ventrilo
Vent Status by Crimm

Not to take anything away from the author of this mod (I wrote a mod similar to it myself), but then I found http://www.gametracker.com.

Basically, you can go there create an account (Free) and then set your server information there. Then they spit out some basic HTML (and IFRAME) and you get a nice display of your vent information. You can config the size, colors, etc. Anyway, I switched from using the mod I wrote to this. Crimm's could be better, etc, so give both a try. =)

I am having the same trouble. My module reads as follows just like the above.
Crimm I would greatly appreciate any support on this please. :o

Ill be online tonight for support.

So sorry for the delay. When I typed that out I was on my BB driving down the road and I've been swamped since then. Guys, I'm sorry it looks like I've been missing posts. I am so sorry for that, as vb.org just notified me of Caboose's issue via email.

If you still need support, let's do this to make sure I get to everyone, please PM me the following information:

- Host (e.g. Godaddy, Network Solutions, etc)
- Web site: (e.g. http://crimm.me)

and I'll start helping you one by one.

Again, my apologies.

In the future if anyone reads this thread: You have my permission to PM me that information for support. I'm working on my websites and hope to have a place for support for my mods and scripts so I can be better organized and have a better handle on it.

That's great news. This means that I can get vB 4.0 once I finish implementing the new features. My web host is blocking the port my Ventrilo server uses so after that's fixed I'll be getting to work. Here's some of the features that will be in the newest version:

1. Doesn't matter what host you have! (More to come on that one soon :) )
2. Customize colors and look of the block
3. More troubleshooting abilities
4. ONE mod for both vBadvanced users and non-vbadvanced users! :)

I'm hoping to create an all in one solution. The hope is to have it released in the next 2 weeks time permitting.

Thanks for the update Crimm. :D I look ofrward to your new version.

Yeah same here, can't wait to get it working on VB4 :).

I struck up a deal with: gametracker.com per this person's input: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....8&postcount=86

That way no matter what host you have, etc you can have a working Ventrilo Status block. I should be done with that mod by Sunday night (late). Once I'm done with it working on 3.8 ... I'm going to start putting that one towards 4.0.

Barring that I will be at the mercy of vBadvanced :)

We're using the Gametracker venty at the moment. It does have some nice features, but also ones I'd prefer to turn off but can't. Will def go back to your mod when you get it up and running Crimm :).

Any news on the VB 4.x version?

No I'm sorry. I've been so busy lately. I have a newer version, but I've had SOOOOO many problems with vb 4 and especially vBadvanced that I haven't finished it.

Thanks for the quick reply Crimm. I've subscribed to the thread. Looking forward to the new version when it's ready.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I have my development server up now, have put off my WoW raiding for a little while :P, and am working on this. I was about 80% complete with the new version with the new additions, etc. before I stopped working on it.

I plan on working on it today and tomorrow and releasing a vb3 version onto vb.org tomorrow. Then this weekend and early next week port that new version to vb4.

All depends on how much work my primary job dumps on me ... I should be releasing something soon.

Thanks for your patience!

So wow got you too eh? :)

Im stoked to hear you're moving ahead with the mod for VB4 My guild has been on my butt for some time about a vent status block.

Thanks again!

Yeah ICC + a 80 hour work week + Children = I had no time or sleep :P

On the mod:

The good news is that my code is all in tact. The bad news is that I lost the "product" whenever I took down my development forums.

- The only things I have to do is rebuild the options (Easy)
- Add colors and options for colors (Easy)
- Test, test, and test some more.
- Make sure there isn't anything I left out

This shouldn't be too bad to get the vb3 version released soon. After that I have to spend a little time reviewing the vb4 stuff. I haven't had time, but it shouldn't be too bad to learn.

Okay I've been all done coding the vb3 updated version with all the wanted changes.

I'm going to put together the install instructions, etc and post it to vb.org tomorrow after a little bit more testing. Then I'll finish porting it to vb4.

Sounds great Crimm. It will be nice to have a proper status block.

Okay gees!

The 3.1 for vBulletin 3 is released: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=240495

Now I start working on porting it to vB4, but first... a NAP! :P

I wanted to give everyone some good news. I FINALLY, FINALLY had time to sit down and play with the new templates and see what I needed to do and check out what I got within just a few minutes.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1273555118

Okay so I need to do some testing tonight and tomorrow, but it looks like we are on track for it to be released soon.

I thank all of you for your patience and understanding!

Looking good Crimm. Thanks again :)

Okay it should be released this weekend or Monday. Unfortunately, I don't have the VB4 publishing suite yet, so I can't 100% fully test. I'm going to see if I can purchase tomorrow and get it setup to do some testings.

All I have to do is finish this documentation and we are good for a release. Should be today. Work is quiet.

Very nice.

I don't use sideblocks on my forum.. any way to get this to appear horizontal at the bottom just under the total post and active users online? thanks

Try this one?
