Show who is online in Teamspeak on forumhome

Hi,

this is my first little hack and I hope one of you has a little bit time to improve it.

This hack will check who is online on a Teamspeak server and generate a list of nicknames in a file.
This file will then be display in the statistics area of forumhome.


Hack can be installed in 5 minutes!
Difficulty: very easy
Screenshot attached

Enhancements: If anyone knows how to start this via vBCron please tell me



in forumroot/index.php find:

PHP Code:

require_once('./includes/functions_bigthree.php'); 

Right under it add:

PHP Code:

// get teamspeak data
   $myts2footer = file_get_contents("./whoisints.php"); 

Edit Template FORUMHOME
Find:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['birthdays']"> 

and add the following text above it:

PHP Code:

<!-- teamspeak users -->
<tbody>
    <tr>
        <td class="thead" colspan="2">
            <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_teamspeak')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_teamspeak" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_teamspeak].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
            Who's online in Teamspeak
        </td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_teamspeak" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_teamspeak]">
    <tr>
        <td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/ts2icon.jpg" alt="TS2" border="0" /></td>
        <td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">$myts2footer</div></td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
<!-- end teamspeak users --> 

Extract ts2forumhomehack.zip
Upload ts2php (compiled c++ file) to /forumhome/
Upload ts2icon.jpg to /forumhome/images/misc/

Use a cronjob to start ts2php every 2 minutes (should be done via vBCron if possible but I don't know how!) with the following command:

./ts2php TEAMSPEAKIP whoisints.php

This will check the Teamspeakserver for users and creates a file whoisints.php with the names in it.

If you run a teamspeak server with a different port run

./ts2php TEAMSPEAKIP -p<port> whoisints.php

Don't forget to chmod 755 ts2php



See the screen to take get a better impression!

What is a teamspeak server?

[BoNfiRe]

it's a voice comms system similar to roger wilco, ventrillo ect ect ect you can find it here

[Reeve of shinra]

Cool Thing! I created a similar hack with the difference that the data is beeing read in realtime from the Server.

So if you haven?t got access to regular cron, you can?t get this to work?

Would be nice if you post this here.
This can help all users which cannot run own cron jobs.

Hi,

I would find this very useful for my site, I unfortunately don't know how to run a cron job, but was wondering if anyone knew how to make this run via the vb scheduler.

Many thanks,

Mith

As far as I know, the vBulletin Cron script can only run *.php scripts
