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.

OK thanks for having looked at this. I was under the impression that I was alone having this issue.

Just one more question: By investigation what do you mean? You asked the TS guys or you saw by yourself that you had the same problem than me?

[LeatherNeck]

No worries

Both, and also chatting with a few friends that are far more advanced than me and code in thier dreams.


It appears that you have done everything right and the problem is with the server application not the user

[Cybershaolin]

Thanks bud.

Hope it's ok, but a lot of people have trouble getting TS to work on linux with mysql, so here is how I did it (tested on Centos5 and mysql 5 )

Add the following to the very bottom of your server.ini

[DBEXPRESS]
sqldir=mysql_sql/
Drivername=mysql
Database=*************
Hostname=127.0.0.1
User_name=**********
Password=*****************************
GetDriverFunc=getSQLDriverMYSQL
VendorLib=FULL/SERVER/PATH/TO/LIBS/libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0
LibraryName=FULL/SERVER/PATH/TO/LIBS/libsqlmy.so
Active=1

WITH THIS YOU NEED TO RUN AT THE MYSQL PROMPT
mysql>

SET PASSWORD FOR
'TheTSdbUser'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('***************');

ATACHED ARE THE LIBS NEEDED TO CONNECT TO MYSQL

I have done exactly the same on my server, and it works, now im moving servers, copied all files from my old server, changed the database user / pass, en now i get:

-------------- log started at 23-02-09 15:29 -------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
23-02-09 15:29:57,ALL,Info,server,	Server init initialized
23-02-09 15:29:57,ALL,Info,server,	Server version: 2.0.24.1 Linux
23-02-09 15:29:57,ERROR,All,SQL,	Database initialization error: EDatabaseError.dbExpress Error: Invalid Username/Password
23-02-09 15:29:57,ERROR,All,SERVER,	Start_Server: unable to open database
----------------------------------------------------------

I am 100% sure my user/pass is correct, and my config and files are eactly the same as my old working server.

any idea what i could be missing?

[FFTFTCEd]

I'm confused a bit, my TS is not on the same server as my vB, it is hosted by a third party and I do not have access to the server.ini to edit.

My confusing is that in your Features list it says;

• Optionally connect to a remote TeamSpeak database if TeamSpeak is not hosted on the same db as your vBulletin.

Yet under Support it says;

For best results and performance, have your TeamSpeak server use your vBulletin database as it's database.

Then you have the Setup mySQL info which ends with;
Make sure these tables exist and that your TeamSpeak server is actively using your mySQL database properly before even downloading the gTeamSpeak modification.

So my question is, can I use your mod or not, it seems that in the feature it would fit my need, yet later it says I must edit the files or not to download.

Thank you for your comments and mod, I hope it can work for my site.

RE: Optionally connect to a remote TeamSpeak database...;
If you have purchased TeamSpeak hosting from a voice comm service provider, it is highly unlikely they will grant you database access.

RE: For best results and performance...;
If they share the database it doesn't have to make a slow external connection.

RE: Make sure these tables exist...;
By default TeamSpeak does not use a MySQL database, this is something people who host their own TeamSpeak servers do before even downloading the mod. On top of that, if the MySQL database is remote, you have to take steps to know the authentication information and you have to add the ip of the requesting service to MySQL.

This requirement ensures that the user has at least completed the necessary steps unrelated to this mod, because without them this mod will just add confusion.

[FFTFTCEd]

so.... the answer is no then.

Perhaps you should add your first response (If you have purchased TeamSpeak hosting from a voice comm service provider, it is highly unlikely they will grant you database access.) to the Features list so that ppl in my position are not downloading the mod by mistake.

But thank you for your hard work & mod anyway,
Ed

[relaxiha]

does not work in .8.1?

[Gryphon]

Works fine, not much about it should be version dependent.

in reply to your pm m8

hello
may you help me for install gTeamSpeak - TeamSpeak User Management ?
i can't install

You have

VendorLib=/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0
LibraryName=./libsqlmy.so

you need to change this to:

Example:

VendorLib=/home/relaxiha/tss2_rc2/libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0 (the EXACT location on your server)
LibraryName=/home/relaxiha/tss2_rc2/libsqlmy.so the EXACT location on your server)

This works perfectly in 3.8.1, but as i stated, I am running this on CENTOS 5 and mysql 5
