I have what I thought was a simple need that would surely have a simple solution. I can find none. After 1 month of trolling numerous forums I have given up and decided to post here, at the source.
My website is WordPress 2.1 (a php blogging software) running on a Linux server
I'm looking for a plugin/script that allows me to do nothing more than to display who is online on my private teamspeak server (not hosted on the same server as the website).
I don't need users to log on to Teamspeak via the webpage or create rooms or anything fancy like that.
The closest thing I have found anywhere is a modified plugin by someone calling themselves Rane which can be found here. (http://rane.hasitsown.com/blog/plink/technical/34/teamspeak-stats-plugin/)
The problem is that my TeamSpeak server is not open to anyone, it is passworded and herein lies my problem. I cannot find any script/plugin anywhere that will pass a login name AND password to the server and then let people view who is online. Its as if all developers are looking to ignore this issue and just assume that everyone runs their teamspeak in an open fashion, which simply isn't true.
I've tried contacting Rane (the author I noted above) without success but I will be very interested to know if there is a smart individual who can either modify his plugin code or come up with an alternative. I am not a programmer so I have no clue.
I will say however, that in my scenario, I do not need others to 'login' to teamspeak through my website so surely there's a way of configuring the script to look for the TS IP address, port number, and login anonymously with the server password using a default nickname of MoniterServ or something.
Very interested to hear if anyone has a solution.
