Ventrilo Status v1.0

Keywords: Ventrilo, Voice, Chat, VoIP, FORUMHOME

Description:

Displays clients connected to your Ventrilo server on your FORUMHOME -- similar to that of "Who's Online".

Details:

Basically, this is a modified version of the publically available PHP Ventrilo Status Scripts. This version, however, has been modified to allow for direct vBulletin integration. All settings are managed through the AdminCP and all output is configured via templates.

Usage of this script requires knowledge of Ventrilo server administration. Your server must first be configured to receive and process UDP messages. This can be done in the server's INI file under the [Status] section. All server versions 2.1.2 and higher come with examples showing the options available to you. However, the UDP support is disabled by default so that they are compliant with older versions. Reference the "ventrilo_srv.htm" file that accompanies the server package for more details.

This thread on vBulletin.org will not address proper server configuration or server related connectivity issues, for all questions relating to those topics or similar, please visit the official Ventrilo Tech Support forums.

Installation:

1. Download the attached archive and import the product-ventrilo_status.xml file via the Product Manager.

2. Upload the files located in the archive to their respective folders.

3. Obtain the ventrilo_status* (or ventrilo_status.exe for Win32 platforms) and put it in a preferred location (ie. /forum/) and CHMOD the file to 755.

4. Configure the options via your AdminCP (vBulletin Options > Ventrilo Status Settings)

Version History:

• 1.0 - Initial release, here's to hoping...
• 1.1
  • Patched a theoretical XSS vulnerability. By theoretical, I mean the script would only be vulnerable under a specific set of circumstances which are less likely to occur than that of your server being directly hit by an errant meteor. However, if you're the paranoid sort, feel free to upgrade. Otherwise, there are no other changes.

* The file ventrilo_status(.exe) is NOT included with this package as it is distributed with the Ventrilo server package (Linux/Win32). If you are not personally hosting your Ventrilo server and instead using a hosting company, you can obtain this file by downloading the appropriate package here. You ONLY need the ventrilo_status(.exe) file.

I have everything working properly, shows who is in the server but the link to the server is incomplete. Shows link with the right ip but in the link there is servername= and no server name at the end. Any idea why that might happen? I have tried everything short of talking to my ventrilo host. I figured it was something simple since I have the status working already.

Awesome hack, thanks.

I use nrgservers.net and they say I am set up to receive updates.

I set up the information in the Admincp and when I hover over the Ventrilo link, it DOES find my server name.

however, it doesn't show any clients.

Any ideas?

did you add the file from the veentrilo server? you get it by going to ventrilo.com and downloading the proper server files for your ventrilo server. Then you grab the ventrilo_status or the ventrilo_status.xex if you have a windwos server then upload it to your webhost and point to it using the product

[Thanatos]

Sorry for the delayed response.

Yes, I downloaded the linux version of the ventrilo server and the windows version as well. I put both the status files on the server. I tried them both. My host does run a linux box, but I tested with both to make sure.

Using the ventrilo_status, when you mouseover the 'Ventrilo' link on my forum's What's Up section, it does actually pull up the name of our server and if I change the name, it changes the name in the link as well.

We use alot of sub-channels, could this be the problem?

[Thanatos]

Any other suggestions?

my host emailed me:

"It's all already enabled and ready to accept connections. Just need to tell
your scripts the ip and port and that's it."

Which I have done.

Did you get it working? I had the same problem then realised I hadn't CHMOD ventrilo_status to 755 :ermm:
Once I did that everything worked 100% fine.

Great add-on, many thanks.

i have this installed
it appears on the forum home but doesnt show whose logged in

the absolute patht o ventrilo status is correct and the permissions are correct

i can also runt he ventrilo status scripts from the command line and it recieves statistics on the server but still not showing whose logged in on the forum home

Didnt work for me either, I uploaded ventrilo_status for linux with +755 perm, put the absolute path to the file, exact ip and port number for my ventrilo server, however when i go and see it says 0 users connected.
