Show who is online in Teamspeak on forumhome

Hi,

this is my first little hack and I hope one of you has a little bit time to improve it.

This hack will check who is online on a Teamspeak server and generate a list of nicknames in a file.
This file will then be display in the statistics area of forumhome.


Hack can be installed in 5 minutes!
Difficulty: very easy
Screenshot attached

Enhancements: If anyone knows how to start this via vBCron please tell me



in forumroot/index.php find:

PHP Code:

require_once('./includes/functions_bigthree.php'); 


Right under it add:

PHP Code:

// get teamspeak data
   $myts2footer = file_get_contents("./whoisints.php"); 


Edit Template FORUMHOME
Find:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['birthdays']"> 


and add the following text above it:

PHP Code:

<!-- teamspeak users -->
<tbody>
    <tr>
        <td class="thead" colspan="2">
            <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_teamspeak')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_teamspeak" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_teamspeak].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
            Who's online in Teamspeak
        </td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_teamspeak" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_teamspeak]">
    <tr>
        <td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/ts2icon.jpg" alt="TS2" border="0" /></td>
        <td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">$myts2footer</div></td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
<!-- end teamspeak users --> 


Extract ts2forumhomehack.zip
Upload ts2php (compiled c++ file) to /forumhome/
Upload ts2icon.jpg to /forumhome/images/misc/

Use a cronjob to start ts2php every 2 minutes (should be done via vBCron if possible but I don't know how!) with the following command:

./ts2php TEAMSPEAKIP whoisints.php

This will check the Teamspeakserver for users and creates a file whoisints.php with the names in it.

If you run a teamspeak server with a different port run

./ts2php TEAMSPEAKIP -p<port> whoisints.php

Don't forget to chmod 755 ts2php



See the screen to take get a better impression!

By the sound of it you know how to do that ?
If not can someone tell me how to do this cron job ??

I have c-panel. and it says cron job on a button there.

I had the same thing, you need to use the absolute url of your site to get to the file and also to create the file, like what the guys above have said, and then simply insert the ts ip address (followed by -p:number) where number = your port number (if applicable) and it should work. I had to use the crontab in control panel, which i assume is kinda the same thing. This was my first even cron job too, and with some help i was able to pop my cherry so to speak. If you get any probs, then give us a shout and i'll see if i can help you, otherwise im sure someone else would be more than willing

Here is what i have set it up to =(

/home/changed/public_html/dab/ts2php 66.199.253.26 -p:8525 /home/changed/public_html/whoisints.php >/dev/null 2>&1

I tryed the -p8525
-p:8525
I tryed with the url instead of the path.
I tryed everything i can think of and im betting i missed something very easy ?? =(

[SB2002]

when i did mine i didnt have the >dev/null 2>&1 bit, and it works ok, but oddly mine didnt start working for almost 12 hours after the cronjob started, and now it runs every 2 minutes

[croft]

I have tryed without that to. even putting every word together =(
Nothing works it wont create the file or nothin....

I dont want blog up this thread with my stupid questions. Can i pm someone about this ?

- edit -

Ok now the wierdest thing happend. I tryed it again and now it created a file BUT the file isnt php its a tmp file at the end. ???

whoisints.php.tmp

Whats that all about anyway ?

Ohh anmd it sent an email to me stating it couldnt connect to the ip 66.199.253.26:51234
But thats the wrong port number ? Why is it trying to connect to the wrong portnumber ? I have the correct number in the cron.

[genmud]

is there a way to get this type of info without putting everything in vBulletin???

I just wanna use this on my clans site which I dont have vB on(yet) and I was also thinking of making this into a block or something for vBportal or at least being able to include this...

I am a noob @ php

any help would be greatly appreciated

Couldn't get this to work. When I tried executing ts2php from a SSH window I got the following: -

./ts2php: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas
