Got any recommendations for integrating this feature?

Voip? Do you mean Voice?

yessir voice over internet protocal?

There are various software packages for this, as well as services, but they are computer based, not server. At least not that I know of unless you want to spend some bucks for a streaming setup on your server.

I run a Ventrilo voice over IP server. Is that what you are looking for?
Get Ventrilo

ChAos that might work if I can get a integration setup for the users of the threads database.

I have put a link into one of the PAL boxes now but it doesnt authenticate. Since you have the client go ahead and try the link.

what is hard is that neither ventrillo nor teamspeak was designed to use a mysql database as authenication so you will have to right some code.

In my case it would be wrong some code
What if you made/wrote a PAL box that was only visible to logged in members? It could then contain the links to your Voice Chat server. That would keep things a bit simpler I would think

By the way scroungr thanks again for the HTML help as it came in handy when setting up the PAL box for this feature

Just an FYI..

[]
The "ventrilo_srv.usr" file is used for specifying user login names and other associated details unique to each definition. The users login name must be in brackets like this [Flagship]. Similar to the INI file described above each topic will have the following keys for defining details about each specific user. Using the login names of Flagship and Defiant a USR file might look something like the following.[/]

[]
Using this file can be dangerous because Login and Password information is stored in a clear-text format on the server. Should the computer running the ventrilo server be compromised you will be exposed to potential misuse of server admin facilities and login info. It is strongly recommended that Ventrilo login account names and passwords be completely different from other formal system accounts like system shells, unix systems or windows login accounts. You implement at your own risk. Then again, if your box is compromised you probably have much larger issues to worry about.[/]

It's a flat file basically so you could probably write some code to use the threads database instead..

where as Teamspeak already uses a sql table. Thats the real difference. one uses sql while the other one doesn't yet.

ChAos maybe a authentication page like the raidersoft chat software hack uses will make this one work. Can't access page with out the header allowing you in.

Then you can click on the actual link to fire it up.

applet dies when I stick in in the chat template.. says applet closed. So I added it in the footer but doesn't authenticate yet.

it is close.. ideas?

Ok got it setup for the raidersoft integrated 1.5 chat so only registered users get the voice chat link.

ChAos you will need to upgrade your chat integration but this will protect it from nonmembers.

I posted your chat on my server to try and generate some interest in the use of the feature. Will keep you posted on how it goes on the trial. Thanks

When I get home from work I could make you a Steelheader.net room to use for a while if ya like.I think you can point the link directly to that room so your users wouldnt even see the gaming rooms that I have. If not I wouldn't mind hosting a server for you for no charge.Unless of course you get a whole convention in there eating up my bandwidth . Maybe we could swap for some fishing expedition type passes hehe.I get back about 5:00 pm Pacific so message me or log onto Ventrilo

Most likely I will just keep access to my Ventrilo public rather than authenticated,in a way its good advertising for me,unless it becomes a problem in the future.I do believe channel admins can ban IP addresses of undesirables though.

edit again Actually if I could leave the link on my entrance page and it authenticated that would be an incentive for people to register. Perhaps if the PAL box displayed one message to unregistered users (teaser) then displayed the real link to registered users. The Java chat just hasn't caught on with my members yet

Cool Would love to get a customized chat... thanks. Free is great!! Lots of fishing going on year round just need to know where to go.
I used the raidersoft cause I knew it would authenticate to users only. I have had problems leaving the door open and trusting the internet users. Could use the same format as the Java Chat to make a separate authenication script to use as a stand alone. I just combined the two so the regulars would use/try it. Serious work getting the membership using this regularly with the download,install process. But once they get it setup it will be cool.

But with that said we have some very distant membership Korea, singapore, Nevada, New York, Iraq... so this should catch on quickly to pass reports for the homesick.

Ok I managed to set one up from work.It is using the port of 3794 so you will have to change your target lines port #
I will message you with the admin password.You will have to create the rooms.
edit - Holy Cow your site is busy!!

Thanks.. got it all setup. Working on setting up some of the members. Lots of technical issues on there machines.

Yeah I find that as well.One other thing you can do for authentification is using the users script I have locally on the server. I can list specific users/passwords to only allow those to connect. That is something I will have to edit for you though.I don't thing it is an Admin option in your Ventrilo panel.
