Integration with vBulletin - gTeamSpeak - TeamSpeak User Management

What is it?
[hr]-[/hr]gTeamSpeak* is a addon for vBulletin which allows your choice of usergroups to register for a TeamSpeak server. It creates a system in which you can link TeamSpeak users to a forum user accounts.

If you use this mod, please Mark as Installed, and if you really enjoy this mod, please Nominate for MOTM, and if you really really enjoy this mod, feel free to Support Developer! Thank you!

You can find more information about TeamSpeak at http://www.teamspeak.com. You should have good knowledge about running your own TeamSpeak server prior to using the mod.

* gTeamSpeak was previously known as vBTeamSpeak.

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.

Look under Advanced Options to setup TS as an external database.

[Chadi]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, but I added this to the bottom of the server.ini file and of course, edited the necessary fields.

[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


Now, I get this:

root@server [/home/teamspeak/public_html/tss2_rc2]# ./teamspeak2-server_startscript start
WARNING ! For security reasons we advise: DO NOT RUN THE SERVER AS ROOT
!!!!!!!!!!!
starting the teamspeak2 server
Error starting daemon. Aborted


Even if I try to run as teamspeak user, I get this:

teamspeak@server [~/public_html/tss2_rc2]# ./teamspeak2-server_startscript start
starting the teamspeak2 server
Error starting daemon. Aborted

Chadi check the server.log file. The error is logged there

sorry forgot about that

[jluerken]

Your problem has nothing to do with this hack at all.
You simply have problems connecting to the mysql database.
Even without this hack you would have the problem

Database initialization error: EDatabaseError.Unable to Load ./libmysqld.a

The library cannot be loaded!

This is what I have

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

The library you have to load depends on the operating system and the mysql version you're running!

Fix this first before trying to use this hack!

I cannot find any download for libsqlmy.so via Google.

Like I said, this has nothing to do with this hack. Please check out www.goteamspeak.com

[Gryphon]

Thank you for helping out jluerken, you have answered these questions better than I could have.

[Foxtrotelite]

I rent a teamspeak from a hosting company. Will this mod work with the remote ts?

[jluerken]

Yes you can enter a remote ServerIP but your Teamspeak Host needs two things:

1. TS must be installed in a mysql database. Normally hosters do not do so, they use the standard sqllite.
2. The remote TS must allow TCP Query. This should be working but some TS Hosters disable this with a firewall for whatevery reason.

btw. with vB 3.5 we got the product installation feature so before asking if a product will work for you or not, simply make a db backup, install and and test it. If its not working remove the product with a single click again.
