GameStatus v2, is a simple but effective script which you can use to display the status of a multiple game servers. The script simply needs to be called at intervals you can set.

The script is divided into two main components:

• serverstatus.php: The script which checks each listed server and produces a JSON file with the results. We recommend running this script via CRON every 5/10min.

• serverstatusplugin.php: A Wordpress script (It is not actually a plugin), which displays the JSON file as an unstyled table.

• Simple & Lightweight script
• Basic error checking
• Simple text file stores server details
• Displayed data is effectively cached
• Displayed data is seperate from checker script
• JSON file could potentially be hosted elsewhere
• Display only selected games. E.g: CSGO or MC

• php 5.4 minimum
• Requires @fsockopen

• Open the serverlist.txt
• Add server as new line follow styling!

• GAME CODE: Used in shortcode must be identical!

• Drop onto server
• CRONJOB the serverstatus.php to run every 5 min
• Check serverstatus.json file is created!

• Add the following to your functions.php (Should be using Child-Theme!):

/* Add FGN ServerStatus Plugin */
include(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/directory/serverstatusplugin.php');
add_shortcode( 'GetServers_sc', 'GetServers' );

• Shortcode example, display all: [GetServers_sc]
• Shortcode example, display specific game: [GetServers_sc game="MC"]
