This mod integrates Teamspeak 3 with VBulletin by synchronizing VBulletin usergroups with Teamspeaks server groups. It also issues tokens to users and has a small viewer. More functionality will be added upon request or as needed.

NOTE: You must have a Teamspeak 3 server with ServerQuery Login. (Other permissions may be required, a full list of permissions will be added later.)

Options / Features :
* The ability to turn the whole modification on/off.
* The ability to show the modification in Quick Links.
* Automatically add users to TS3 groups (server and channel) based off of their Unique ID (set in profile)
* The ability to look up users by username or userid (if they used a token generated by this script)
* The ability to look up users by unique ID
* The ability to allow certain usergroups to generating tokens.
* The ability to allow certain usergroups to reset token counts.
* The ability to allow certain usergroups to administer tokens.
* Custom number of tokens and unique ID's

Two new usergroup permissions are provided in the usergroup manager.

* Default Teamspeak Server Group - The Teamspeak 3 server groups that users will be placed into.
* (Channel Name) - The Teamspeak 3 channel group that users will be placed into for that channel. (Only one group is allowed per channel, select none to not set a channel group)
* Can Generate Tokens
* Can Reset Tokens
* Can Admin Teamspeak
* Number of Tokens allowed (also used for number of unique ID's)

Two new user fields have been added and are editable through the user manager or the teamspeak script.

* Teamspeak Unique ID (variable depending on settings for primary usergroup)
* Tokens (the number of tokens they have generated)

* All other modification settings are in vBulletin Options > Neoobs - Teamspeak.

To install or upgrade;

• Unzip the files.
• Upload contents of upload folder to forum root.
• Import the product into vBulletin using the ACP Product Manager.

When I have selected Default Teamspeak Server Group Serveradmin, normal or guest allways appears like Serveradmin.

Will be fixed in next release which should be out very soon (couple days max)

Installed and working.

Only when someone switches usergroups(vb) it is not updated.
The user is added to the new servergroup(ts3) and not removed from the older servergroup so he is added to two groups on teamspeak.

I got paid subscriptions so there is some switching between usergroups on VB.

Thanks

I will add that to the list of things that need to be fixed. As of right now it only updates when you edit a user (and that is a lot of work) I will try and find a way to sync when people are moved from one usergroup to another.

[Neo_obs]

A new version is up, 0.8 adds channel group support and multiple server group support.

Also because of the way things are set up, you will need to set up server groups again. Sorry just couldn't make it work right.

[Hendrik83]

Thanks for the update.

Hope you find a way to do it.

Did this latest update fix the problems?

Wow, it really is Christmas! =)

So I just installed this on 4.06 (edited the XML version so I could) and I understand you say it may work, etc. But wanted to give you an error report incase it's something else.

When editing a usergroup, I get the following error once per channel or server group, not sure.

Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in [path]/admincp/usergroup.php(201) : eval()'d code on line 15

I have a few hundred users of my TS server with anywhere from about 25-50 on most of the time. This is pretty much something I started to write myself at one point and then didn't have the time. (I even had the profile field already there and configed the same. heh).

Anyway, if you don't wanna support 4.06 that's cool, just trying to help out where I can. =) Please let me know why you think it might not work on 4.06 so I can either try to work around it or see if I want to attempt an upgrade (my site is pretty custom so... things tend to break a lot with upgrading).

Questions, Etc.

I'd like all members within a specific usergroup to be able to generate tokens (which is looks like you have) that allow specific things. However, I'd also like to somehow validate that they are the ones using those tokens if possible. Not sure how to do this, but... I just want members to be able to be as self reliant as possible.

Along those lines, set (per usergroup) how many times within X time they can generate a token. I'd like them to be able to do it once every 30 days for example. Otherwise they need to talk to an admin to see what the problem is.

As you already mentioned, trapping when someone's usergroup is changes would be very nice.

The viewer doesn't display custom icons for server groups. Not sure if these can be downloaded from the server or if they'd need to be uploaded to the web server manually, but either way would be good.

An icon displayed in the postbit as to the users current TS status would be nice, a mouse over tooltip of what channel they are in and how long they've been connected/idle too.

I'm not sure how heavy that would be on the server, but for myself... I'd like to try it anyway and see.

I'll come up with more ideas later, I guess I really just need to get it working first though. heh

[Neo_obs]

Shoot me a PM so we can get it working as soon as possible. I will also add your suggestions to the list. About support, I don't support it because I don't have a forum running it to check for errors. However I am more than willing to try if someone wants to let me.

[Trek]

PM Sent, I have no problems at all providing you with whatever you need to make it work. =)
