Forum Home Enhancements - Advanced Voicetool Viewer (Teamspeak 2, Teamspeak 3, Ventrilo viewer)

INFO

This is a more advanced version of my old tsxviewer plugin. It was written from scratch and offers a lot more features!
It displays a list of users connected to a voicetool like Teamspeak 2, Teamspeak 3 or Ventrilo and displays them on the Forumhome page inside the what's going on box, or anywhere else!

Templates allow you to fully customize the viewer, which can display unlimited amounts of viewers for your voicetool servers!

Keep track your server's uptime with the cron logger, which logs every time a server times out or comes back online!


*** Despite the product description saying mumble is supported, it is NOT. Sorry for any confusion ***

FEATURES

- Multiple Server Viewers on a single page
- Fully customizable Templates
- Query caching
- Server Uptime Logging
- No iFrames! Fits perfectly into vbulletn. Make search engines love you!

READ THE INCLUDED README FILE BEFORE INSTALLING THE PLUGIN! (srsly, spare you the headache!)

Works great in 4.1.10 confirmed as of Today (2/8/2012)

How to create the cronjob for cPanel users:

Log into your cpanel via:
http://yourdomain.com/cpanel

Go to Cron jobs in the advanced section

Add an update e-mail

Common settings choose Every 5 minutes or:
*/5 * * * *

Command line is:
php /home/YOURDOMAINPATH/public_html/YOURFORUMPATH/cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1

YOURDOMAINPATH is not your domain NAME, it is the path to your domain on the root server
YOURFORUMPATH is the path to your forum

good luck, thanks Disasterpiece for the great and quick support via PM. Great modification!

(SPECIAL NOTE: The cronjob will NOT work if your forums are de-activated/closed to the public as it has no access to cron.php)

Not a problem caused by my mod.

Check this: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/gone-away.html

And consult your provider

Is a shared host, I can't change the mysql config, or the server config.

Doesn't work with Gameserver Vent server and godaddy hosted vbulletin. Shows server continuously off line.

[Disasterpiece]

Maybe a firewall issue? Can't really tell but then it's nothing that can be done to make it work other than urging the provider to change its limitations.

Can be redirected? Many shared hosts have only default ports open. So, the script can be loaded from a different server, 1, and send the infor to the forum page in the other server, 2?
I know, why you don't use that server 1 to be the host and forget this idea...
Because the server 2 is better for me, but have some ports and mysql limitations.

Hi, I can't install this mod.
Copied all files to the correct folders via ftp.
But when I try to add the xml File in the AddOns CP it says "File invalid", regardless of whether import from server or upload from computer.
I'm using vB Forums 4.1.11
Screenshots:

(it's german)
I've allready installed two other mods and they worked.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm completely new on this.

[Disasterpiece]

you are supposed to upload the 3 folders as they are into your forum root including the cpnav_advancedvoicetoolviewer.xml.
cpnav files are, as the prefix suggests, navigation definitions for the admincp and no product files.

The xml file you need to import is the tsxviewer_vb4_v1_3.xml and this file only.

[HawkeBoE]

I don't have this file, it's not in the zip folder.

Edit:
Redownloaded the zip file and it's there, thank you!
