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.

You host has rather strict PHP settings. Unfortunately, this modification requires the ability execute shell commands and unless you can have these restrictions lifted I'm afraid this will not work for you.

Many thanks magnus for your reply, I'll contact my host about it.

A bit belated, but if and when I get time I'll be making a vba version of this. Thanks for the release!

I got the script to load on the page but i cannot figure out how to set it up so it properly shows the users that are connected.

could someone visit http://www.conceptart.org/forums/ and let me know what im doing wrong?

when i click the "ventrilo server" link
it takes me to ventrilo://voice402.hurricanehost.com/servername=
how do i set the servername...?

[magnus]

All configuration is through the AdminCP, see the original post for screenshots.

[daviblight]

i have the admincp information setup correctly, and it has a section for the ventrilo information on the site, but it says there are zero users connected and when i click "ventrilo server"
it gives me ventrilo://voice402.hurricanehost.com:4042/servername= which gives me an error...

If there is something i need to do in my servers cp to make the information register please let me know.
