Support
[hr]value[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

Support
[hr]-[/hr]
I will offer limited setup/installation support this script. While I do use the Remote Server option personally, I will not support this feature, you should have advanced knowledge of your server setup and troubleshoot this yourself. If you have purchased TeamSpeak hosting from a voice comm service provider, it is highly unlikely they will grant you database access. For best results and performance, have your TeamSpeak server use your vBulletin database as it's database.

1. Setup TeamSpeak to use mySQL
[hr]-[/hr]By default TeamSpeak uses a file system called SQLite. To make it use a mySQL database edit the server.ini and add:

[DBEXPRESS]
sqldir=mysql_sql/
Drivername=mysql
Database=database_name
Hostname=localhost
User_name=database_username
Password=database_password
GetDriverFunc=getSQLDriverMYSQL
VendorLib=/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0
LibraryName=./libsqlmy.so
Active=1

When you start the server it will create all the necessary tables:

• ts2_bans
• ts2_channels
• ts2_channel_privileges
• ts2_clients
• ts2_servers
• ts2_server_privileges

Make sure these tables exist and that your TeamSpeak server is actively using your mySQL database properly before even downloading the gTeamSpeak modification.

For more information about setting TeamSpeak up to use a mySQL database visit http://www.teamspeak.com.

2. gTeamSpeak Installation
[hr]-[/hr]

1. Make sure that your TeamSpeak server is setup to use a mySQL database prior to installing this product. For best results prevent users and admins ability to register with the server via client. Also password the server to something gibberish as you will not be supplying the password to anyone. Also disable the ability for SA to grant SA for security.
2. Upload all files prior to installing product.
3. Install the product.
4. Create a Single-Selection Menu User Profile Field.
   • /admincp/?loc=profilefield.php%3Fdo%3Dadd
   • Single-Selection Menu
   • Continue
   • Title: TeamSpeak Access
   • Description: Can register self with TeamSpeak server.
   • Options:
     • yes
     • no
   • Set Default: Yes, but No First Blank Option
   • Field Required: No
   • Field Editable by User: No
   • Private Field: Yes
   • Field Searchable on Members List: No
   • Show on Members List: No
   • Save
   • Look and see what the field name is for TeamSpeak Access, example field25.
5. Fill in the gTeamSpeak configuration options.
6. Install any plugins you wish to use from the /admincp/gtsplugin directory.
7. That is all, send people to the form to sign up.

Note: You need to add your user id to the config.php under superadministrators. I will attempt to remove the need to require this in a future version.

TeamSpeak Access Profile Field Usage
[hr]-[/hr]
This is used if you want to ban a user from TeamSpeak and do not want to ban them entirely from the forums or change their usergroup.

• Set this profile option to No to prevent a user from creating a TeamSpeak account.
• When a user is banned from the gTeamSpeak user management, this option is automatically set to No. If you wish to unban them, set this option to Yes and they will be able to create a TeamSpeak account again.

Ahhh.. Understood.. It's still a great product!

[sinistergaming]

alright i set this up but i keep getting the error that it cannot connect to db server
my teamspeak is on a seperate host from the db my site runs on.
i have put the appropriate settings in the server.ini and confirmed it with my webhoster.
but still it cannot connect.
is there a particular port that must be opened on my database side for the teamspeak to connect to my db server, or will it even work like that ?

[Gryphon]

I am not positive, but might be port 3306. You will have to grant access to allow the remote IP as well. With cPanel, it is as easy as entering the IP and pressing submit. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/connecting.html for more information.

This is my most favorite mod here.

Its fantastic and works a charm.

I've installed it on my clan website and the boys love it.

ONE HUGE question though.

Is it possible to alter the coding so the SA's get a clan tag infront of their name on TS. So the nickname bit added "{RD}" infront of their nickname if they register as SA. The rest just get their usual forum name.

If someone could help me alter the code so it did this I'd be very happy.

Thanks again.

Dooch

[Gryphon]

The name that shows up in TS is not determined or stored server side, it is determined by whatever they put into their client for a nickname on step five of the registration instructions. You will need to just ask that your members update their nickname in their addressbook.

[dooch]

I understand however your quick connect buttons dont allow this, they use your forum name as the nickname and this is not changeable unless you manually connect to the server via TS itself..

Surely there is an if statement to say

if SA then add "{RD}" infornt of nickname

for the quick connect?

I'm no coder but this is what I'd like.

Thanks
