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
but have you install this if can you give me link so I can se that bequse I´m very intressed off this

[RidinHighSpeeds]

I have a server up and running on my computer. Ports 8767 UDP, 14534 TCP, 51234 TCP are all open. I am able to connect to the server as well as the members on my forum.

Under vBTeamSpeak options:
Server IP, port, etc.. are all set.

For Server Address..I used the same address as the Server IP, not defendingthetruth.com

Remote User Database is where I am confused...If the server is on my computer, could it be possible to set this up so it connects to my computer?? Eh...all confused

[Gryphon]

Are you running mySQL database on your computer? If so, yes as long as you give the proper permissions to allow your vBulletin server to communicate with your home computer. But I would imagine that if you were running your own mySQL server you would also know how to do this, so I am making a guess that you don't and this modification will not work with what you have setup.

As an update to the progress of the next version, I am having certain issues with some of the new features I have developed and I am still working on squashing these bugs before I release the next update.

Any chance to make a similar hack for Ventrilo?

We use Ventrilo for our WoW Guild, as it has better sound

Hope u can mate

[rouven]

is there any new version out? it still does not work for me, the user table is always empty...

[rouven]

just to get it as clear as possible...
which ports need to be opened for this to work, between the enduser with the browser, the webserver and the ts2 server. i thought it need to be only:

client => ts2 (ts2 port 8767)
webserver => ts2 14534 TCP, 51234 UDP

or does the client need 14534 TCP, 51234 UDP, too?

Unfortunately no, I hate Ventrilo personally

None of the TeamSpeak ports need to be accessible. vBTeamSpeak will work as intended without any port access, all it needs is to be able to connect to your TeamSpeak's mySQL database.

Easiest setup (more common):
Host TeamSpeak on the server your vBulletin is on and change the server.ini to point to your vBulletin Database. Now that TeamSpeak is setup to use mySQL to store it's user data, vBTeamSpeak will insert new users directly into the database for TeamSpeak. No ports needed (though you can enable TeamSpeak ports for extra features but are not required).

Harder setup (less common and this is the way I use it):
Host TeamSpeak (AND mySQL) on a machine separate from your vBulletin install. Grant permissions on your mySQL server that will allow your vBulletin server to have access to it (authorized IP's). Fill in the Remote Database portion of the options. (Database Username and Password should be different than your vBulletin install, for some reason vBulletin doesn't like to connect if they are identical).

I hope that clears some things up. Basically if you don't know if your TeamSpeak is using mySQL or not, or if you are just hosting TeamSpeak on you home computer, using this addon may be beyond your technical knowledge.

Ok, same for me. ts and vb are on the same machine with a different db and a different user with rights for their own db. i filled up the remote database things and he is creating the ts2_forum_account, which seems to be empty regardless what i am doing.
does the ts2 db user need access rights to the vb db? it should not, or am i wrong. the problem is, that i am not seeing any ts2 users to manage and not seeing the full frontend view. very strange for me.
is there any debug=true switch?

[SKNY]

Just got around to using it and same problem as Rouven.

I have TeamSpeak and the forum installed on the same server, however TeamSpeak is just installed under a different domain, however the entire system uses the same MySQL Server. It looks like the system can connect to the TeamSpeak server database and it creates the table when I click “Create Table” and that’s about it.

All I see on the vbteamspeak.php page is the following...

Welcome to the XXXXXXXX TeamSpeak server. Please do not disrupt any channels or harass any users or you will be removed from the server.

User Name: userid.1
Password: ______________________
[GO]

Not encrypted, do not use your forum password.

Now when the user puts in the password and clicks GO; nothing happens.

Also I’m using PHP Version 5.1.2/MySQL 5.0.18, does that create an issue, also does this system have any special requirements?

Maybe I have the server configuration setup wrong... So maybe you should tell me if the following is correct.

Server IP: Is this the ip address we put in teamspeak or the ip address we enter to access webadmin.
Server Port: 8767 (default)
Query Port: 51234 (default)
Web Port: 14534 (default)
Server ID: Whatever the id is. (1 in my case)
Server Address: I’m guessing TS Server IP, the one we enter into TS.

So what exactly am I doing wrong?

Thanks

i am not alone
