[vbA cmps] [Unmodified] PHGStats ProjectvB
Mod Version: 0.1b, by nitro

Made and Tested in vb 3.5.4 with vbA 2.0.1

This project was inspired by the hack here and retains the stance no modifications to any phgstats files what so ever is what makes it totally different.

This way when theres a update for either vb or phgstats unless theres some major change in either product its unlikely an update of one would affect the other.

Templates: 0 at the moment may move some stuff to templates later.
Phrases: 0 again may add some
Files: 1 to upload plus the phgststats program
Plugins: 0
File edits: 0
DB Queries: 0
Template edits: optional to add a link to the page in your header or navbar or where ever else you may want one.

Q. Does it integrate with the vbulletin style
A. Yes it works out the box with most of the styles I have tested it with. The only style that went slightly wierd was an old style that has not yet been updated to vb 3.5.4

Q. Can servers be added bia admincp
A. Yes you can now add game server direct from cp by getting the cpnav addon attached in the vbulletin thread and following this post

Spoiler (click to open)

Caught a typo while messing with the vba parts which is in this file aswell.

look for the closing table tag above $footer and its missing the end >

Also for the cpnav to work there needs to be a product with an id that matches. Didnt realise this was compulsory and as I didnt go down the template and phrase route yet I didnt export one, as my host just mailed me my ports are done so I went to add this live is when I found out.

In admincp->plugin manager->manage products->add product

Code box for licensed veiwing only:

Code:

productid: phgstats_vb
Title: PHGStats ProjectvB
Version: 0.1b
Description: PHGStats Game servers page vb integration

Now when you refresh your cp you should see the extra menu item. Dont see the point in updating the zip with an empty product file, but when theres an update I may add it.

Close

to add an empty product to enable the cpnav for it.

Q. will it ever be out of beta stage
A. maybe, maybe not.

Q. Can contributions be made to the project
A. Sure under the terms of the credits is fine. Contributions will not be accepted if they involve modifying any phgstats files.

Beta, recomended to test first and only install live if your happy with the results.

There is a vBulletin version, a vbPortal version done, a Logicians Web Templates version, and here is vbAdvanced cms finally. They will all run stand alone from each other meaning you wont need to install this one for a CMS/CMPS version to work.

For those who dont know, what does this do ?

PHGStats will poll several types of gameservers and teamspeak 2 servers for data.

Instructions.
Get PHGStats
Upload the phgstats directory to your forum root and run its installer. No db is required for this.
Verify its polling your server(s) and displaying out put. (you are able to load the phgstats directly for this)
In vbA admin panel-> default settings-> add option variable:
Why does the above variable not exist by default when this is rarely kept as is or have I missed this somewhere ? oh well there you go. If you dont want to add this option variable you can allways edit the file and replace the variable with your vbA's index filename.

Upload the attached file to your vbA modules directory and do the usuall adding in vbA admin.
Add a link to the page in your prefered template/location. (optional)

I am not offering any official support as its beta but I am usually around so I may be able to answer further questions.

A vbPortal version can be seen http://www.nextgenlive.com/modules.php?s=&file=index&name=Gameservers
Update:

Known Issues:

No response from servers:
(a) Is the host/ip correct, if using a hostname try the IP instead.
(b) Your webhosting is blocking outgoing connections, you can ask them to open the ones you need, most reasonable hosts will do so altho they may ask you for the specific rules you want setting.

Note: I have elected to only release the module version, the instructions to add vbA pages is just not worth it. If theres sufficient demand I may let it go but it wowuld be without any adding page instructions or support whatsoever.

Note: Its late and I may have missed something when writing this out, at least I got it up before I forgot it existed.
