Update images in channel description

Brooke · Jun 19, 2016

Hello,

I have a Teamspeak3 Server and I use images but they are updating themselfs some times a day. Thats working good but on Teamspeak the Picture wont update even If i paste the link new in the channel description.

Is it possible somehow that Teamspeak updates it?

Kind Regards
Brooke

You can do this with PHP, like AdminsBot or BannerBot ( GitHub TS-ISLAM repository : https://github.com/warningman/TS-ISLAM ) same method.

AdminsBot changing channel description.
BannerBot is updating host banner.

If you show that images and say update frequency, I can try to make a bot for you. Btw you need a machine, TeamSpeak 3 Server is not enough.

Note: These links are always unique ? *

* Edit reason: Note added.

Its always the same link to the picture. Would be nice if you can help me out.

I dont know if you have tried this option and i am not sure if it actually works but try to add a "#1" behind the file and increase the number everytime you want to have it updated

Then you may need a script which is capable of updating it

Hello m8, it is done. You need to edit 'config.php' first. After that you can start 'editChannel.php'.

Source Codes: Thanks @DifferentUser for the advise.
editChannel.php

PHP:

<?php
require_once("libraries/TeamSpeak3/TeamSpeak3.php");
require_once("config.php");
$ts3_VirtualServer = TeamSpeak3::factory("serverquery://$username:$pass@$ip:$queryPort/?server_port=$port&nickname=$botNick");
$img = '[/IMG]';
$counter = $timer / 300;
$i = 1;
$mychannel = $ts3_VirtualServer->channelGetById("$channelId");
while(1)
{
    while( $counter != 0 )
    {
        $mychannel["channel_description"] = "[IMG]$imageLink#$i$img";
        $counter = $counter - 1;
        sleep(300);
    }
    $i = $i + 1;
    $counter = $timer / 300;
}
?>

config.php

PHP:

<?php
$username='serveradmin'; //Your ServerQuery username (default: serveradmin)
$pass='xxxxx'; // Your ServerQuery password
$ip='127.0.0.1'; // Your server IP adress.
$queryPort='10011'; // Your server ServerQuery Port (default: 10011)
$port='9987'; // Your server port (default: 9987)
$botNick='ChannelBot'; // Your Bot's name
$channelId='100'; // The ID of the channel to be edited.
$imageLink='http://i.imgur.com/8BfM5AJ.jpg'; // Just image link
$timer=18000; // Update timer in seconds.
?>

Am I doing something wrong? Sorry for all the issues.

DifferentUser · Jun 21, 2016

Uhm may i ask you how it works?

You dont even update the Link with this Script?
Or the Channel itself?

What you do is write every x Seconds the same String in a Variable (not in the Channel) without Exception Handling when the bot disconnects due the 10 Min Timeout which TeamSpeak has

Change the Bot's nickname. Did you change something on editChannel.php ? And don't forget the ' ' on config.php. I tested it 2 times it works for me...

Where should I put the ''?

Wrath X · Jun 21, 2016

For example:
Use it like this ->

PHP:

$username='serveradmin'; //Your ServerQuery username (default: serveradmin)
$pass='xxxxxxxxx'; // Your ServerQuery password
$ip='127.0.0.1'; // Your server IP adress.
$queryPort='10011'; // Your server ServerQuery Port (default: 10011)

Not like this ->

PHP:

$username=serveradmin; //Your ServerQuery username (default: serveradmin)
$pass='xxxxxxxxx'; // Your ServerQuery password
$ip=your.ts3.domain.name; // Your server IP adress.
$queryPort=10011; // Your server ServerQuery Port (default: 10011)

I am really interested in how it works since you only write every X Minutes a String into a Array Variable without any Updates of the Link or Updates the actual TeamSpeak Channel

I asked @Brooke:

Wrath X said:
These links are always unique ?

And @Brooke said:

Brooke said:

So we don't need to change this string ? Link always same, but image is changing. I don't know HOW.
Did I understand you correctly?

DifferentUser · Jun 21, 2016

You need to change the link so it is able to update itself for example
http://example.com/image.png#1
http://example.com/image.png#2
http://example.com/image.png#3
http://example.com/image.png#4

and so on...

You are thinking wrong, these are ServerQuery commands. String can be same, TS3 still says "Your channel was edited." even channel unchanged. So Teamspeak will be reload the image I guess. You can test it.

Thats the Problem TeamSpeak Caches the Images by the Images URL

But @Brooke said "Thats actually working but I dont want to update it myself everytime.".
@Brooke didn't change image link I think. But okey I will edit code like you said.

Second problem is, Bot drops after 10 minutes, I will create a sh for bot start and bot stop and a crontab rule.

It is my first bot, thank you for your review.
