I started three times to get into the sb++ code to add CTBans without success. For me it's very hard to understand their framework without docs (are there docs for this?).
Another problem I faced while tinkering ctbans into it was the periodically updates back then of sb++ which broke my small progress.

But right now it's an ugly Frankenstein on backend, ugly unformatted code, partly bad performance, all features bumbled together. Far away from modular.
And this is the main problem why I havn't finish it yet, I have to find a solution to make this modular, so everyone can only use the parts they need.

In the meantime boomix teasered his Admin Panel & some russian guys forked sourcebans to SourceBans Material Admin.
So I paused the work for a while.
I thought an implementation into one of these two would be maybe
1) easier and
2) get better acceptance in the community than sb & mypanel.


summary - I don't know what would be the best way for a ctban webpart.


PS: IIRC, the sm devs on irc didn't have any good words for sourcebans.
PPS: IIRC there are some well-known members of this forum who sell ctbans for sb(++?)...

Hmm, not sure who is selling it except maybe Zephyrus worked on one implementation. It was a lot of tweaking to many SourceBans files to get CTBans working correctly with the full admin capabilities of removing, editing, and the like.

I'm not sure if it would be something I would be comfortable releasing or selling just knowing that any small tweak in SourceBans would break the system.

@shanapu nice work on this so far by the way! How are you handling admin access for adding/removing CTBans? I see the Steam OpenID link but not sure what you check it against. That is one reason I liked SourceBans was I could rely on SourceBans to determine who should have access.

While more full-featured solutions are explored, here is a simple list of the CT Bans with no additional features:

http://64.94.100.209/ctbans-list.php

The PHP is added to the original post as a TXT file. The installation is to put the TXT file on a web-server with PHP and SQL modules installed, rename it to a PHP file, and configure the following parameters in the PHP file:

$server (localhost or IP address or IP Address: Port of server)
$username (addons/sourcemod/configs/databases.cfg username)
$password (addons/sourcemod/configs/databases.cfg password)
$database (addons/sourcemod/configs/databases.cfg database)

Optional:
$table_prefix (if you have one configured in your ctbans config file)
$results_per_page (if you dislike 15)

In the database I get this for the timestamp, timeleft and bantime:



How would I be able to get it to the time you have it?

[databomb]

For the timestamp, the database value is an integer which you have to convert to a date using the PHP function:

PHP Code:

 date('r', $row["timestamp"]) 


where $row is the variable for the row. The others are in minutes except you have to translate a couple things like bantime 0 is Permanent and timeleft -1 is an expired/removed CT Ban.

Ah ok. Thanks. This would always puzzle me.

How are people getting this to be added to sourcebans? i cant even get it to work in my server i added all the files and a line in databases.cfg
"CTbans"
{
"driver" "default"
"host" "localhost"
"database" "sourcemod"
"user" "root"
"pass" ""
//"timeout" "0"
//"port" "0"
}

chris, the first step is to configure CTBans to use the sourcebans database. If there is a sourcebans entry in your databases.cfg already then you would change your sm_ctban_database_driver convar in the /cfg/sourcemod/ctban.cfg to be the same name -- usually it is just "sourcebans".

If you also want web integration with SourceBans then it is possible but nothing is publicly released. SourceBans is not modular so getting it working is fine but then updating it becomes an issue.
