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.

If I create a user through the TS backend, the user is added to the MySQL DB fine. The password is hashed as it's not the same as the plain text.

If I create a user through the hack that user also appears in the MySQL DB fine and the password is visible in plain text.

However the TS-created user can connect but the hack-created user gets a bad login message.

Other than that the hack works perfectly. I'll investigate this as well and let you know if I get anywhere.

[Gryphon]

Hmm, in mySQL 4.0 TS users are plain text. I know that as of 4.1 there was some password changes, but didn't realize it would affect the TS password field. I will have to look into that.

[PlymWS]

There's MD5 hashing on my passwords for some reason. Possibly a change in MySQL 5.

[PlymWS]

I'm pretty sure this is to do with the way MySQL 5 hashes passwords. Just to make sure if someone could post me their TS install folder, minus server.ini and server.log so I can try with that I would appreciate it.

If you get an error about client authentication version when connecting to MySQL then it may be because your server is using the new password format, while your mysql client (or PHP script, or JDBC code) is using the old password format.
See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Ap...sword_use.html

You can change a new password to an old password like this:
bash shell>mysql -u root -p
passwort: rootpw

mysql> USE mysql
mysql> update user set password = old_password('passwordhere') where user = 'teamspeak'; flush privileges;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0

mysql> select user, password from user;
+-------+-------------------------------------------+
| user | password |
+-------+-------------------------------------------+
| root | *BA3E2F47E409A6ABA8AF34A430631A02FE28539E |
| root | *BA3E2F47E409A6ABA8AF34A430631A02FE28539E |
| | |
| | |
| teamspeak | 09a6e3834c6d11c9

This means your teamspeak db is now storing passwords in the old format.
Teamspeak2 needs this to work, it has nothing to do with this hack.

I am quite sure this will work for you.

[PlymWS]

I followed that and got the correct mysql output from the command prompt.

The passwords from the hack are still stored in plain text though and this means they don't connect to the server. I have the following in the database :

tscreateduser - password : 1d427ce2b82bc4e30b2012c6f6df2e6a (tsuser in plain text)
gteamspeakuser - password : tsuser ( stored in plain text )

I'm going to look today at how I might change the PHP to incorporate the new MySQL 5 hashing of passwords.

[jluerken]

There is an option to turn the hashing off. If I am correct its "--disable-hash" but I am not using MySQL 5 and cannot say how this works for a single db.
You can try to check this db with phpMyAdmin and see if you have an option there to turn hashing off.
phpMyAdmin often surprises me which such things :-)

[PlymWS]

I have done the opposite I went into phpMyAdmin and used the MD5 function on a plain text password to create a hashed pass. This then works fine. Now to get it to do this automatically with all passwords

EDIT:

OK, what I've done is edit gteamspeak.php, Line 98 (password updates) to read

func_gts_query("UPDATE " . $ts2db['name'] . "ts2_clients SET s_client_name = '" . $ts2info['username'] . "', s_client_password = MD5('" . $ts_password . "') WHERE s_client_name = '" . $ts2info['username'] . "' AND i_client_server_id = '" . $ts2db['serverid'] . "'");

and line 114 (initial user setup) to read

func_gts_query("INSERT INTO " . $ts2db['name'] . "ts2_clients SET i_client_server_id = '" . $ts2db['serverid'] . "', b_client_privilege_serveradmin = '" . $sa_status . "', s_client_name = '" . $ts2info['username'] . "', s_client_password=md5('" . $ts_password . "'), dt_client_created='" . $createtime . "'");

so that passwords are MD5 encrypted and sent to the DB. This works but the password is displayed as an MD5 string in the password box and the info page lists the password as the MD5 string. Also the Connect/Quick Connect links don't work as the password is called by the product in plain text.

I can live with this for now as I'll just comment out the references and display some text instead and delete the connect links.

I'll work on this further if anyone else wants these features to work.

[atlambros83]

I'm confused...can I not use this mod if I have a teamspeak server setup somewhere like www.defconservers.com ? I'd really like to incorporate my teamspeak server into my forums if at all possible.

[swissknife]

Is the following plugin possible ?

via cron : Check if the teamspeak-user has a forumaccount, if not: ban from the ts ?

Thank you!
