Description
This is the product page for the Ultimate vBulletin Ventrilo Status product made by Crimm. It is a combination of these two products with; along with tons of requests. Links [1] [2]

This is the 4.1 release for vBulletin 4.X. Unlike it?s younger siblings, this Ultimate Ventrilo status mod ? Doesn?t require a certain host or host configuration! That?s right! You can host it on any type of server! See the Settings Explained section.

This script mod will display the status of a ventrilo server on your vBulletin forumhome or vBadvanced page. It will show users connected, channels, etc. Includes some customization and there's more to come! If you would like to request a feature, please see the link above. Here's some screenshots of what it looks like working:




It has multiple options from hosting it yourself where a script runs on your webserver and displays the status. This option gives the most flexibility. The next few options allow you to use external sources to display the same information, but you loose the flexibility of customization. More info on the settings can be found in the link above.

Please leave the link back to http://crimm.me for a little exposure. Thank you. If you need help tweaking it to make it smaller, color it, etc please let me know.

Again, it's on my todo list I should have a response for people today.

Cnt wait for forum block info:-)

[Crimm]

I wanted to update everyone real quick.

I have figured out the best way to set it up as a Forum Block:



I'll have those directions typed up and available for you guys soon.

Three issues you should be aware of:

1. Forum blocks cache, which is good for your board, but bad for this mod because it won't be real time. Remember when you make changes to the mods options you will have to purge the cache to see it.

2. CMS widget: I'm still having difficulty with getting it to work. Seems I may have to completely re-work some of the code to get it to output correctly. This will take me some time to get working, so you'll have to be patient with me... I have other work that has to be taken care of.

3. Forum block installation: It will be manual for this release. I'll figure out the best way to make it automatic in future releases.

I'll get back with you guys later today on #3.

I think this will cover the steps of the Forum Block Install:

CMS Widget instructions will be coming soon: http://debugge.com/scripts/vbulletin...-3/epage8.html

After I fight some bugs.

After I get these two down pat, and get the feature requests implemented... I'll automate all of this install process for the next version.

Let me know if anyone needs help on my site, twitter or here.

Working great

Now one thing im wondering about size, if you have a long server with many channels / users a function to limit the block size and add a scroll bar funcion to view the rest.

[Crimm]

Scroll bar added to feature requests:

Next version will make sure to support it. Once I start working on it; if I see an easy way to tell you to do it... I'll PM you.

I would like to INTEGRATE Ventrilo into my Forum page ... so members could either (a) use the stand-alone application or (b) chat on the Forum website ... and everyone sees the same info.

Is that possible ...?

Thanks!!!

[Crimm]

You mean like USE ventrilo from your forum page?

Not that I could think of. Ventrilo isn't a web based application; therefore there isn't a way that I can think of to allow users to use it without it executing on their computer. Once it executes on their computer ... then it isn't integrated anymore.

Maybe some clarification?

[vilhiem]

I'm saying that Ventrilo has 'data' on a server somewhere, right ...?
Why can't that data be connected to either through the Ventrilo app for some users and through a website/forum interface for other users ... all able to chat while communicating via that same server. That's all (although this may be difficult to build).

Yeah that's going to be beyond a vBulletin mod. That's going to have to involve the Ventrilo developers:
