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

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.

This mod is really cool. Works very well with 3.6.8 too.

One question: How could I add a instant messaging icon for TS, as for MSN, Skype, etc when viewing our profiles?

[Cybershaolin]

No idea folks?

[Gryphon]

This probably isn't the place to discuss that. Also, what would you link such a profile field to or what would you display as a username? TS doesn't really work like MSN, Skype etc.

[Cybershaolin]

Thinking about it, you're right! Thanks for your answer.

[Cybershaolin]

BTW I would have two more questions:

1- I've noticed even if I have setted up the permissions for server and channel admin, once in Teamspeak, I cannot op or voice any regular registered user. Is this caused by TeamSpeak itself or by the hack?

2- I have some users who log in but they have a "Guest01" or Guest02" nicknames! How can that happen? Does it mean they got the login info by somebody else? Is there a way tp prevent this? It's because those are not supposed to be able to access TS...

[Gryphon]

1. I am not positive, there are a few ways this could happen. You simply aren't logging in with an user that doesn't have permission, or you have setup your TeamSpeak's own permissions to not allow it. It isn't anything in this mod, just a setting that you are overlooking.

2. They just aren't filling in their name they want. They are still assigned to vBulletin accounts, but TeamSpeak usernames can still be anything they want, they are separate from the login name.

[Cybershaolin]

1- Well, I'm logged as a server and channel admin. According to the permissions I have setup, I would supposed to be able to grant permissions to op or voice other registered users but when I right click on a user, the options are grayed out as you can see on all the pictures included.

So, you are saying it does not anything to do with this mod, is that it?

2- I'm not sure to understand the way you've explained it sorry.

[Gryphon]

1. I am not sure why they are grayed out, this mod can't do anything about that, the user you are logged in as doesn't have permission by some TS setting not readily apparent. You have SA next to your name when you login?

2. step 5 of the registration process, they are not entering their Nickname, Guest is the default for TS users who do not enter a name. They still need to use step 7 and 8 assuming that you have passworded your server to something random, otherwise people can still join without registering. Only one login can be used at a time, no two people can use the same login at the same time. If you right click their name and look at the connection info, you can see the login id.

[Cybershaolin]

1- Yes, SA and CA are next to my nickname...

2- OK I got it for that. Thanks.

[Gryphon]

I am afraid I am not sure why you do not have the options available.
