Ventrilo Stats Block without needing vBadvanced
Developer Last Online: Feb 2016 
This mod has been replaced! http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=240495
This mod does NOT require vbadvanced. So some people liked my vbadvanced mod that displayed the Ventrilo Status, but didn't want vbadvanced. I have now made this one that doesn't require vbadvanced, but it does require Style changes. I hope you enjoy! Support Thread: http://www.mmo-mods.com/forum/showthread.php?p=13858 Author: Crimm - Included because I have been finding my mods all over the internet taken via RSS :P Description: This will place a Ventrilo status block in a column on your vbulletin home. It uses some of the files found on Ventrilo.com's download section plus things I have learned to integrate them into vBulletin. NOTE 1: Debug option may display server information. Hide the block to non-admins when debugging the block or else malicious individuals could get their hands on your server information. NOTE 2: Style Changes required! To place this on your forum home, you must make some changes to your forumhome template. All styles are not made the exact same. I will offer examples below, but I can NOT support all the styles for vBulletin. If you have trouble I suggest you contact the style developer for your style. Difficulty: 6/10 - It's mainly normal installs, but it's difficult to debug this ventrilo status script and it requires template edits. Requirements:
Safe mode being off is very important and will be the biggest problem people have with this script. To test and see if you pass this requirement follow these steps: 1. Create a file called info.php 2. Put this line inside it:
3. Upload it to your website. 4. Visit the new page by going to: http://yoursite.com/info.php or wherever you uploaded it. 5. Look for a line that says: "safe_mode" 6. If that says - On next to it... then contact your host, because you can't go any further. **I was going to try and implement a check, but can't seem to figure out how to do that.** Support: Here or my site: mmo-mods.com I spend the majority of my online time at my site so feel free to stop by and ask for help. FAQ's: Q: Yes I have seen this mod: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...age=5&t=113432 Isn't this the same mod? A: No, it isn't like that. It's a side block. - See screenshots. Q: I'm getting this: CVentriloStatus->Request() failed. PHP Unable to start external status process. Or this error: (Since friendly errors were turned on in version .2) "Can't find or run ventrilo_status" A: Please post and I will try to help, best bet is to visit my site where this information is being culminated as a community and where I spend most of my time. http://mmo-mods.com. Experience tells me it has to be one of these three things: 1. Permissions: Make sure to chmod your ventrilo_status to 755 if you are on linux. If you are on Windows, make sure that whatever is running your IIS process can execute ventrilo_status.exe 2. You are in PHP safe mode. This won't work in PHP Safe mode. 3. It's a path problem - I made everything relative. I have included some testing scripts, please use them as directed below. 4. Make sure that you have chosen the correct environment set in your settings. Q: I'm getting this error: "No response." A: Check your Server information. You can obtain this from your ventrilo host. Q: I'm getting this error: "Unknown Error." A: Copy/Paste the exact error and post it here with your domain so that I can take a look Q: Whats the best way to debug an issue? A: I included a debug option in the Ventrilo Status Block Options in vBulletin options, but note be very careful as it displays server information that could be useful to hackers. Make sure to hide the block from non-admins when you have this option checked. Q: I need to hide this block for non-administrators until I can get it working... What do I do? A: I was going to show you guys how to do IF statements to hide it from Non administrators but it became to combersome. If you need to hide it. Then do this:
In future version coming soon ... I will add a way to hide this in the vb options. Installation:
Crimm notation on block: Please leave the notation back to me in the block to help spread the word. I left it small, so it wouldn't bother your site. Us freelancers have to get some fame somehow  Mark as installed: Please mark as installed if you use this script, and I will assist you with a higher priority than everyone else. Special Thanks!: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=119933 - This tutorial and those mods are how I figured out how to add the columns successfully. Thank you very much to Kerry-Anne. Revisions: Version 1: Starting to gather scripts together Version 2: Updated installer and worked on style changes Version 3: Tested and completed install of product and removed call to global.php Version 4: Updated Readme and FAQ because of copy/paste mistake :P Also: Added screenshots EDIT: Added Product updating code from vb.org Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

Urgg, Slight problem. I tryed to follow the FAQ, but its weird. It gives me the no response error. Yet I can esily connect to the info perfectly. Im thinking that the ventrilo_status is not working correctly.

1. Some hosts have a status password that is NOT used to connect to as the client.
2. What are the permissions of the ventrilo_status file? 3. If you want you can PM me your site and Vent info and I can check the connection status off my test vB. See where the issue maybe.

Does anyone look at the title?
It says "Ventrilo Stats Block without needing vBadvanced" Please read. If anyone bothered to look at his Other stuff from here you would notice that he made one for vBA aswell. Sheesh. No members have liked this post.

Everyone easy.
Readme is a typo. Ill fix later. This one doesn't require vba. My other one does. Also edit your vent information publicly. Send to me via PM. I will check later for you.

Dude I was just about to ask you if there was away to do this without vbadvance yesterday..and then you release the product I want without even asking you....amazing...
BTW great job!  Make sure to hide the block from non-admins when you have this option checked. How would I do that? and... Just a quick note for you... The absolute path with windows that the program debug returns "\" for seperators... and it doesn't work if you use "\" you have to use "/". In order for me to get it to work I had to edit ventrilo.php and looking for this: $stat->m_cmdprog = $statusscriptpath; changed to $stat->m_cmdprog = "G:/Forums/includes/ventrilo/ventrilo_status"; But thats on my trial thread! Btw..I cant seem to get this to work on the actually live site...gives me the "Can't find or run ventrilo_status" any tips...I think it has to do with exec permissions even though I chmod it to 775 and it saids "safe-mode" is off. So I have no clue! Has anyone got this to work with godaddy as their host? Thanks No members have liked this post.

As for "Can't find or run ventrilo_status". I have a godaddy account. I'll test for you later today.
