Just a plain vanilla ventrilo server status monitor for wordpress

== Description ==

Just a plain vanilla ventrilo server status monitor for wordpress that uses onykage's ventspy script.

This plugin comes with its own option page and has a hosted or managed operation.  Hosted means that the plugin will ask another website what the provided vent server address is doing.  Managed means you have total control over everything!

IMPORTANT!

The auto refresh option works!  And it loves your bandwidth.  I strongly discourage having it refresh in intervals less then 30 seconds.

other details and most versions of the plugin can be found at:

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Q: I got the error,
   PHP Unable to start external status process.
   whats wrong, why doesnt it work?
   
A: This error is caused from 3 reasons.  
   1. the path to the ventrilo_status application is incorrect and needs to be updated.
   2. the permissions for the ventrilo_status application are wrong.  Contact your ISP and have the file permissions changed to '755'.
   3. the script was installed onto a windows based server.  The script currently only supports linux based servers.  Sorry.

Q: what is wp-extemespy?

A: its a referenced script that you can pass out to your friends and affilated to show off your ventrilo server using your vent status hosting services.  This function does require that the Managed setup is completed and working.
