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.

Count me in on that also. I've looked far and wide for such a solid working item. Ventrilo is by far much better than teamspeak as it is true voip.

[tpn87]

add me to the list of people willing to donate for a 3.7x version

Working fine with VB3.7.0 and Ventrilo 3.x

But how can i modify the Order on Forumhome? It appears over "Users who visited today", want to take it after that...


(excuse my bad english)

How can I make this work for 3.8?

[DivineMessenger]

Would this work for 3.8 by any chance?

[Crimm]

I sent a PM to magnus requesting that I have permission to pick this up and carry on for 3.8 and support it... but there is no need.

I was able to follow the install directions and have this working straight out of the box.

Again:

This works perfect for 3.8.1. Great job Magnus.

[jesus likes pie]

the ventrilotest.php file is not working.

My vent host is nationvoice
My web host is hostgator.

BUT...

If I enter my vent info in this page:

http://ventrilo.com/status.php

it works fine - so this means it's an issue with the web server...correct? Should I just ask my host to open the outbound port that my vent is on?

[pewp]

Is there any way to test this to see where it's failing? I have this installed by the book and I cannot get it to work on 3.8.1 Patch Level 1.

Like this forums suggests.

If i have my ventrilo_status file on another server would I be able to link it within this addon to get it to work?

I was just told since I have a dedicated IP with bluehost all ports are open to me so my assumption was incorrect. I'm at square one and lost once again. Need to find a way to error check.

So yeah, I'm totally lost. I got the info to pop up here:
http://www.ventrilo.com/status.php?h....net&port=3784

But when I load the ventrilotest.php stuff and get it all configured on my server using the same info as i do for the link above and for this addon it doesn't work.
http://www.pewp.org/forums/includes/...ntrilotest.php

The host says all my ports are open, and they are open on the server the vent server is running on. I have no clue as to what my next step should be. My php version is 5.2.9, would that have anything to do with it?

Well guys I have read all posts in this thread and I am still stuck.

I have the mod installed, it shows up on my forum like it should, it hotlinks to server and will start Ventrilo when clicked but I just can't get it to show connected users.

I'm in a windows environment, I have the ventrilo_status.exe file but I believe it has to do with my path to this file.

Server show up ok when checked with the Ventrilo Status page...

Any ideas?
