Show name of server

[Dennis]

Hi,

 

Is it possible to show the name of the server from TCAdmin instead of showing the product name, when the user is looking at his or her servers? Some clients of ours have multiple servers, and it can be quite hard to find the right one when they are upgrading or downgrading.

I think this is what you are asking for.

 

{$service_custom_field_hostname}

I was actually thinking of getting the hostname (or the IP) from TCAdmin. Is that possible?

[icekohl]

If you mean in TCA itself like when viewing game services, this can already be done. Go to the top right 'grid settings' configure columns. Checkmark 'Name'. There you go.

Not in TCAdmin.

 

Look at this picture: http://screencast.com/t/QYbvdt94O1kx

The client has three servers with 4GB RAM and two with 6GB RAM. If that client wants to upgrade his/her server, she don't know which server is which. Therefore, I'd like to show the hostname or IP address.

yes would be cool if we have at least the server ip there like:

 

Minecraft - 4 GB (Server IP:Server Port)

It definately would, and I'm also pretty sure that it's possible. I just don't know how...

It's possible and i know how. Update my post later when i have time

1. Open modules/servers/tcadmin2_advanced/ directory
   
2. Create a file named clieantarea.tpl
   
3. Open clientarea.tpl and write the code below
   

Your awesome IP is {$serverdata.ipaddress} <img src="smile.png">, you live in {$clientsdetails.countryname} and damn you must pay {$clientsstats.numoverdueinvoices} invoices!
// Output example: Your awesome IP is 123.123.123.123 , you live in Italy and damn you must pay 2 invoices!

That wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for a way to get the IP or hostname directly from TCAdmin.

The principle is the same. Instead of referencing to {$serverdata.ipaddress} you can reference to your own array or string. In this case you have to use _ClientArea function to get the data you need directly from TCAdmin database with one or more queries. Finally you will be able to display it with {$yourcustomarray.something}.

yes but i think not everyone can do this and this is why we ask ... iam just a copy and paste coder, so i dont know how to do this and iam sure the thread starter also dont know how to do it...

Oky, i'm going to post the code as soon as i can.
