Ventrilo Status v1.0

Keywords: Ventrilo, Voice, Chat, VoIP, FORUMHOME

Description:

Displays clients connected to your Ventrilo server on your FORUMHOME -- similar to that of "Who's Online".

Details:

Basically, this is a modified version of the publically available PHP Ventrilo Status Scripts. This version, however, has been modified to allow for direct vBulletin integration. All settings are managed through the AdminCP and all output is configured via templates.

Usage of this script requires knowledge of Ventrilo server administration. Your server must first be configured to receive and process UDP messages. This can be done in the server's INI file under the [Status] section. All server versions 2.1.2 and higher come with examples showing the options available to you. However, the UDP support is disabled by default so that they are compliant with older versions. Reference the "ventrilo_srv.htm" file that accompanies the server package for more details.

This thread on vBulletin.org will not address proper server configuration or server related connectivity issues, for all questions relating to those topics or similar, please visit the official Ventrilo Tech Support forums.

Installation:

1. Download the attached archive and import the product-ventrilo_status.xml file via the Product Manager.

2. Upload the files located in the archive to their respective folders.

3. Obtain the ventrilo_status* (or ventrilo_status.exe for Win32 platforms) and put it in a preferred location (ie. /forum/) and CHMOD the file to 755.

4. Configure the options via your AdminCP (vBulletin Options > Ventrilo Status Settings)

Version History:

• 1.0 - Initial release, here's to hoping...
• 1.1
  • Patched a theoretical XSS vulnerability. By theoretical, I mean the script would only be vulnerable under a specific set of circumstances which are less likely to occur than that of your server being directly hit by an errant meteor. However, if you're the paranoid sort, feel free to upgrade. Otherwise, there are no other changes.

* The file ventrilo_status(.exe) is NOT included with this package as it is distributed with the Ventrilo server package (Linux/Win32). If you are not personally hosting your Ventrilo server and instead using a hosting company, you can obtain this file by downloading the appropriate package here. You ONLY need the ventrilo_status(.exe) file.

however, it doesn't show any clients.

Any ideas?

I use them too and it seems to be working for me. I did have a problem until I realized I uploaded the wrong file.


I have a suggestion for the mod: If the username on Ventrilo matches a username on the forum would it be possible to add functionality like the Currently Active Users has and have links to thier profile, username styles, ect.?

I agree with that!


Great hack though...very useful!! Thanks!


**Spoke too soon...installed and not showing anyone in channel. IP and port set correctly. Most confusing install I have done yet. What have you al done to get users to show up?

[MoJo Smirnoff]

where do you get the ventrilo_status.exe you all talk about. What i dl from Ventrilo's site isn't called ventrilo_status. It's a folder called ventrilostatus.php

this thing is stumping me...and it has to be something simple! well...i guess it doesn't have to be...but i am hoping it is!!

**ok, found the exe, have it in /forum/ still no users showing up.

For those on bsd hosts, try placing ./ in front of ventrilo_status if you placed it in the root of you site (or ./forum/ventrilo_status)
