Flashchat Integration for vB 3.6

[wolf32]

Flashchat must be located inside your vbulletin folder (i.e. the same place as the includes folder) otherwise it won't work with vb.

If I had to install the "includes" folder again, would I have to run the vB insallation script also?

[Paul M]

We're getting a bit off topic here, but why would you need to install your includes folder again ?

[wolf32]

Never mind, I got everything working again. Thanks for your help.

[Eagle Creek]

Well, this is nice :D.
Installed it!

[subzero06]

well, i get an error after installed
"vBulletin 3.6.x : Integration Error 01 : Please consult you system administrator."

whats is this code mean?
/ Security check //
if (!defined('INC_DIR'))
{
exit('vBulletin 3.6.x : Integration Error 01 : Please consult you system administrator.');
}

[Paul M]

It means either you tried to call the CMS file directly, or you have a very broken Flashchat.

[subzero06]

It means either you tried to call the CMS file directly, or you have a very broken Flashchat.

How can i fix it?

[Eagle Creek]

Paul, does it count people in other channels? Cause it says there are 10 people in my chat, but when I look the chat says 13.

[Paul M]

I don't understand what you mean by "other channels".

[Eagle Creek]

Well.. U can make multiple rooms within flashchat.
What I see (all the time) that people aren't in my chat anymore, and your hack doesn't display them. But I do see them in the chat. Can u help me with that or do I have to ask the dev?

[julia44]

when I installed this it works fine on the forum page. But on my CMPS navigation bar the link doesn't work I get a 404 error any ideas on where I need to go to fix the broken link? Sorry if it was posted already and I over looked it

[ogameclub]

Hi,
I installed yesterday Fashchat version 4.7.9 in Vbulletin Forum.
And.......

My site closed 12 hours after installing due to using excessive system.
Site activity showed only 58 visits in chat.

My evidences:

Reason:
"These processes combined, began using between 60% to 80% of the system processor beginning today at approximately 10:20 AM EST and lasted until your Web site was stopped at 11:30 AM EST."

[Paul M]

That's the drawback of cheap, crappy, shared hosts.

Not sure why your posting it here though - this is not a Flashchat support forum.

[wolf32]

Problem: www.u-connex.com/chat/inc/config.php is a blank page. Any idea what I did wrong?

I uploaded Chat & Includes folder to my server.

[Paul M]

You cannot view the config file over the web.

[wolf32]

You cannot view the config file over the web.

Wow I'm stupid. Alright, got everything done but Flashchat still opens up with another browser window. Any suggestions?

[amir86]

For some reason when i try to access it via the ..../misc.php?do=flashchat (from browser) a page loads but the frame within (where flashchat is to preview) returns an error page (default hosting company 404 page)

Anyone experienced such an error? Did i miss a link that needs to be modified?

I think (please correct me if im wrong) i have to upload the CHAT and INCLUDES folders to the server using FTP...

-----

:eek:

I realized now that I need to get the flashchat from Tufat first (now i know what step 1 was referring too :rolleyes: )

Just to be sure, after i install flashchat from tufat, on the server via ftp, do i still need to upload the CHAT and INCLUDES folders that came with Flashchat vb integration.zip ?

[Paul M]

Just to be sure, after i install flashchat from tufat, on the server via ftp, do i still need to upload the CHAT and INCLUDES folders that came with Flashchat vb integration.zip ?Yes, install Flashchat first (choose to integrate it with vb3.6) - then install this (inc the new files).

Alright, got everything done but Flashchat still opens up with another browser window. Any suggestions?I don't really understand what your problem is. What exactly are you doing, what happens, what did you expect to happen ?

[wolf32]

* Flashchat can be displayed embedded inside a 'standard' vBulletin Page (i.e. not full screen).

Am I just reading this wrong? Everything is installed and OK, but I thought this hack would, when opening Flashchat, not open with it's standard full screen but rather in a vBulletin page; with maybe my navbar at the top or statistics at the bottom of the page. Do I need to create a template for this?

[Paul M]

Further down the post you quote ;

More notes:

* This integration is for Flashchat versions 4.7.x and above.
* The automatic link feature may fail if you have customised templates.
* For Flashchat inside a vBulletin page you need to link to .../misc.php?do=flashchat
* This modification does not add any links to Flashchat Administration in the ACP.

Also, please click install if you want further help. :)

[wolf32]

Clicks installed :)

Where do I go to change /misc.php?do=flashchat? Thanks for your help.

[Paul M]

Wherever you link to flashchat is.

[Eagle Creek]

Paul, when I buy the HTML/AJAX version, how can I intergrate it?

[Paul M]

AFAIK, it integrates automatically - but autologin will not work. Last time I tested it a few other bits didn't work either. Personally I wouldn't use it atm.

[Eagle Creek]

I haven't downloaded it yet, so I can't tell.. But should I overwrite the current flash files, or can I run two versions? In either case: will it still work then?

[Paul M]

I believe it is purely extra files, and you can still run the old code at the same time.

You really need to ask these questions on the Tufat forum as I don't support Flashchat.

[Eagle Creek]

Sorry Paul, I know u can't give support. But I had to be sure I could still use your hack, even with HTML/AJAX.

[amir86]

Yes, install Flashchat first (choose to integrate it with vb3.6) - then install this (inc the new files).

Yep all done, works well, thank you.

[feverwilly]

How do you get it to appear the forum page like the Shoutbox?

Is there anyway that the history remains in the room so that when someone enters they can see what's being discussed?

[hotmasala4u]

[dendrob]

How do you set permisions for specific usergroups? I don't see anything added to the ACP

[abramelin]

does this works on 3.6.4?

[Paul M]

Did you read the main post ?

thanks.

[Paul M]

In the chat folder.

[BACANERIA]

I got a problem maybe some knows how to fix this. When i click on my quick links the whole box doesn't show. Maybe because that doen't work over flash.

[daddygrim]

WHO USES THIS WITH THE a/v FEATURe?

[SloppyGoat]

When it auto creates a link in Quick Links, where the hell does it put that code?! I can't seem to find it where all the other Quick Links code is. I have a few older styles that this did not work in, and I'd like to add the link, but I'll be damned if I can find it. I'm confused.

[Paul M]

You won't find it in the templates, it's added dynamically at run time.

[xLYNZx]

ok having a nightmare...as i always do when installing ANYTHING new! I installed the chat fine, not even realising this was here, so when I saw this thought I have to have it, followed the 5 steps and nothing is on my admin panel, yet when i go to admin on the chat i get

This option is not available when FlashChat is integrated with a custom CMS (content management system).
Please use the user administration tools which come with your system to add, edit, or remove users.

i have obviously done something right but still something wrong. :confused: :confused: :mad: :mad:

[ravencr]

Without having to read a million threads on integrating chat into VB, is this the best system out there? Is it free? Are there ways to show who's chatting at the top of every page? Thanks for the help,

Chris

[Paul M]

Flashchat is not free, it costs $5. Visit their site for more information.

[ravencr]

Might as well be free! :) Is is a lot better than most other options?

Chris

[Mr_Devlin]

Can't get it to work properly.
When using misc.php?do=flashchat it will try to load chat/flashchat.php/flashchat.php

When using the chat/flashchat.php the login popup shows up. It seems that it will use the user table from flashchat installation, not the vb user table.

Weird...don't know what to do for fixing this. I'm using FlashChat 4.7.9 with vB 3.6.5. I installed the chat as integrated chat for the vb 3.6, but it seems that it will use the stateless or default cms.

This sounds normal...its just saying that when you use the integration that members have to join your forum normally, or be added manually by you on your vBulletin, in order to be members on the chat. That's what integration is for. :) So people's accounts on your vBulletin are linked to the chat, so they don't have to register separately.

[xLYNZx]

oh, i thought i would be able to create and edit things, so its one room and nothing else? thanks for your help.

thank you...i presumed i would have like a dropdown in the vB admin panel!

[Mr_Devlin]

I suggest you check the Flashchat config.php file and make sure you have the correct cms specified.

I did. In earlier versions of fc and vb everything worked fine. I had this problems since I use fc 4.7.x on vb 3.6.x.

As a standalone chat fc worked fine, only integration of v4.7.x in a vb 3.6.x failed.

Maybe I should use an older version of fc...

[Paul M]

Works fine with 479 and 365.

[steve71]

INSTALLED:

-Flashchat v479
-Who is chatting (for Flashchat)Version: 4.40


In my admincp there are two "flash chat" options in vbulletin options

1. Flashchat integration (1st screenshot)
2. Who is using flashchat (2nd screenshot)

Are these as they are supposed to be, or should I have more options?

settings I can't figure out:

-remove word filter?
-open flashchat in new "full screen window" versus embedded?
-change the link in the navbar to read "chat" instead of "flashcat" same with who's using flashchat add-on below. (3rd screen shot)

- in the navbar link..shouldn't it have (in brackets) the number of users in chat, and then list those users names once you hover the cursor?

ie this code (which is not present in my forumdisplay template). If this code will do the job..where in forumdisplay do I place it?

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chat/flashchat.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Flashchat</a> ($totalchatters)</td>
</if>

Thanks a bunch!

[Paul M]

Both sets of options are correct.

1.There is no such option as remove word filter, I'm not even sure what you mean by this.
2. By linking to /misc.php?do=flashchat you will open it embedded, it you use /chat/flashchat.php it will open fullscreen.
3. You need to edit the phrase for the Who Is Chatting section - In the Navbar you would need to manually add the link, not use the auto option.

No, there has never been such a feature in my Flashchat modifications.

Hi Paul,

Not needed anymore (obviously) - just set each usergroups access level in the ACP usergroup manager. :)

I have installed FlashChat together with your hack and it is working fine.

However, i cannot find any option in my ACP to set each usergroup access to chat.

Thank you in advance for your help!

[Paul M]

It's part of the permission settings for each usergroup (as it says - in the usergroup manager).

Yes, i have searched he permission settings for each usergroup, i go to:

- Usergroup manager

--> then all my groups are listed, each of them has the options:

- Edit Usergroup
- Edit Promotions
- Show All Primary Users
- Show All Additional Users
- View Reputations

Then i select one of my groups (for example: registered), and i see a screen with these sections:

Usergroup
Forum Viewing Permissions
Forum Searching Permissions
Post / Thread Permissions
Attachment Permissions
Poll Permissions
Private Message Permissions
Calendar Permissions
Who's Online Permissions
Administrator Permissions
General Permissions
User Note Permissions
Picture Uploading Permissions
Signature Permissions
User Reputation Permissions
User Infraction Permissions
Usergroup Options

I am running vBulletin 3.6.5 , and FlashChat Integration 3.51

I have searched through all the users options but cannot find any of them related to chat permissions :(

[LaPiba]

Aah!! Now i understand! The problem was that i had uploaded bitfield_flashchat.xml to an incorrect folder.

Now the option FlashChat Permissions can be viewed. :)

[doogie88]

Do I need to install 3.5 then upgrade with this? OR is this the complete script?
Nevermind I see flashchat is a whole different script/software.

2. What do you want to edit, and why ?

Some members have requested the chat be opened in a new window that is not embedded in the forum.

[Paul M]

Then as I said earlier, you need to manually add the link in your templates, not use the auto option.

[xLYNZx]

since integration, a custom usergroup hasnt been able to enter the chat, ive searched the FlashChat support forum and found posts saying to edit the vB CMT file which i now understand how to and what im looking to do, but which file do i edit?!

[xLYNZx]

Aah!! Now i understand! The problem was that i had uploaded bitfield_flashchat.xml to an incorrect folder.

Now the option FlashChat Permissions can be viewed. :)

looks like what i have done! not sure where its supposed to be tho :confused:

[LaPiba]

Hi xLYNZx,

bitfield_flashchat.xml must be in:

yourdomain.com/your-forums-folder/includes/xml/

After that you go to your Admin CPanel, enter Usergroups --> Usergroup Manager, and select the group of your interest.

Regards

[xLYNZx]

thank you, have done that, will now wait and see if they can get in the chat!!

[xLYNZx]

no, they cant. I even set their permission to moderator and still nothing, even though the mods can get in

[Paul M]

Did you upload the the other file into the correct place as well ?

[xLYNZx]

as far as i know, everything is in the right place. I will remove everything and start again from scratch.

im having a problem logging into flashchat at my place. Last night I left my admin account logged in at work. Is there anyway i can kick my self out of flashchat from work so that i can login at home?

[flzero]

I installed the flashchat, and managed all the stuff with the plug ins. Now I can't see any settings for the chat.. huh? (only the settings for the add on)
..and the chat doesn't load..

whats with it?

[Mr_Devlin]

Sorry, but I got much trouble with this.
Today I installed FC v 4.7.10 - the current Version on a vb 3.6.5.
Everything seems to processes fine, but when trying to call misc?do=flashchat chat will return a white window.
When trying the flashchat.php-link I have to login...weird.

With the Who-Is-Chatting Mod chat will load but I have to login. And login fails.

Also I can't login to chat admin:
Could not grant admin role for this login and password. Table '****.fc_users' doesn't exist
Itseems to me that fc wil read from their own user table (fc_config, fc_config_instances, fc_config_chats, fc_config_values) instead of using vb table.
Weird...

Yes, I'd checked the usergroup settings and yes, I specified the CMS in config.php properly.
I disabled my own themes and skins so that chat should load only default settings.

Nothing works. I tried this on my forum and on my localhost environment too with same results. I have to disable this chat for now.

[Paul M]

You have obviously done something wrong, but without ftp access to your files (and forum admin access) there is no way to tell what.

[dendrob]

OK, I can now see permissions in the Usergroup manager. I gave unregistered the privilages, but when a guest tries to access they get the flashchat login screen. Isn't there a way to let unregistered people enter a chat if they specify a nick to use ?

anyhelp would be appreciated

[Paul M]

Guests cannot use Flashchat if it is integrated, that's the basic purpose of integration.

[doogie88]

I made a new category and the category links to the chat.
Is there any way possible to list if there is anyone in chat?
So if members see there are 1-2 people in chat, they will join?

[LisaD1]

There is a way to add a box at the bottom of your forum, under the whos on line and all that. I will look for it and post it.

That's awsome, thanks a lot.

[Ryloth]

On my site I have VIP members and they are a secondary usergroup to the "registered user" user group. I want VIP only to have access to the chat but they can not access it.

Is this because the integration doesn't recognize secondary usergroups?

[Paul M]

Secondary groups are recognised.

[Thx1133]

Installed !
Good Job & Many Thanks Paul !!!

[Ryloth]

Secondary groups are recognised.

Its not working for me then.

My Primary Usergroup is obviously Registered Users and my Secondary Usergroup is VIP User. I have Registered Users set to "no access" and VIP Users set to "user role" and it will not allow them to log into chat.

The only way for it to work is for me to set VIP Users as the Primary Usergroup.

Also, what is Customer Role?

[Paul M]

Then I know what your problem is - it's actually something I noticed a while back, but haven't got around to doing anything about yet.

The problem is that the 'No Access' level is actually the banned permission - hence it's full name of No Access (Banned Role) - this permission is the highest level permission, therefore if a member is in a group with that permission set, they will be banned, no matter what other groups they are a member of (which is exactly how banning should work).

The answer, of course, is that both a "No Access" and "Banned" permission are needed, the no access being the lowest level, so any access permission will override it. Now I have a reason to look at it again I will add this in the next few days and release an update.


The Customer role is for when you run Flashchat in the Live Support Mode - few people do that so I wouldn't worry about it.

[Mr_Devlin]

This is NOT my first setup of flashchat for a vb, I use fc since v4.0.x and never had probs like this. This seems to be an installation prob, because fc will not use the correct user tables.

[Paul M]

Then it sounds like a Flashchat issue which is out of scope for this mod - you need to ask on the Tufat forums - However, I would suggest you check what prefix have you defined for Flashchat to use (in config.srv.php).

[Paul M]

Version 3.52 is released.

This splits the No Access (Banned) permission into two separate permissions - see post #597 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1201256#post1201256) for full details of the problem this fixes.

I tried several installations with different prefixes like fc_ or flashchat_ with same results.
The installation reads existing fc tables (without a users table!) properly but in usage it will try to read the (not installed) fc_users table.
I dropped the existing tables and made a fresh install but also with same result: FC creates the required tables (no fc_users table!) but tries to read from its own (not available) users table.

I will have a look for solution on this @ tufat...

Is there any way to set this to open in a new small window so my users can Post and Chat at the same time? I have tried a couple ways and it does not work. I am no expert though. That is the only complaint, if you can call it one, that I have received.

Go to your navbar template and find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>

Then place this underneath:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a target="_blank" href="http://yourwebsite/forum/chat/flashchat.php?$session[sessionurl]">Chat</a></td>

(make sure the path is right for your site)

this will place the chat link in the navbar beside FAQ's. You can plug it in anywhere you want of course. It will open the chat in a new window, and from there your users can re-size..minimize etc.

Don't forget to go to vbulletin options/flashchat integration and disable the "automatic link creation" or you will have doubles.

[The Bish]

Damn had the target="_blank" oin the wrong spot! Thank you!!

One other thing... I have it on my vBAdvanced screen as follows... how would I update this link to Chat in a new window?

<tr><td bgcolor="#c2d6a7" width="100%" onclick="window.location='misc.php?do=flashchat'" style="cursor:pointer; background-color:#c2d6a7" onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#b2c599';" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#c2d6a7';"><span class="portalnav">Chat</span></td></tr>

Thanks again!

[dbirosel]

I have a feeling it's not possible, but it shouldn't hurt to ask. When they leave the chatroom, is it possible to have the remaining chat history left upon? So when they come back or accidently leave, they will still what people talked about in the chat?

[Dream]

Can this be put in a box in forum home?

Installed anyway. I still wanna know if you can put FlashChat in a box in forum home.

[cerulean]

Can this be put in a box in forum home?


Yes can we have it where you have say chat on top and you forums below?

[Dream]

Put in your install.txt a warning for people to not edit the local config.php and ovewrite the one the FlashChat installation made.

Also there are a bunch of CVS folders in your zip.

edit: Thanks for the mod.

[Paul M]

True, but they are empty, just delete/ignore them.

I got it installed and working. Thanks!

Huh ?

I know what Dream means. He/She means, tell people that they need to first *download* the config file that was altered by the installation of FC *before* editing it and reuploading it for this mod. I made that mistake myself, but I frankly chalked it up to...well, stupidity on my part. I should have known better.

That's basic to any file edit, I don't think I'll be adding that. :)

I made this change and it worked and launches FlashChat but, for some reason, it doesn't automatically pass the authentication through to FlashChat. My users are having to log in manually.

What is strange is if I use the link created by FlashChat integration in vB Options, users authenticate successfully. I like your solution because I would rather users have a seperate window but I would like the auto authentication to work as well.

Any idea what is wrong?

And thanks, Paul, for this. It's great.

[daddygrim]

can someone install mine for me?

People are not exiting the chat in my flashchat.

They stay in the room after closing the page.

Anyone had this problem before?

Yes, unless I am totally wrong, which with me is always a possibility. :P One possible problem could be that they have popups blocked on your site, as popups are required to fully log out of the chat. That's the first thing I would ask them, to enable popups on your site. I know there are other reasons this could happen, but that's one I know.

Check the domain in the link you created, make sure it matches the domain you normally use (exactly) (e.g. www.mysite.com, not mysite.com)

it keeps asking me to log in...i got the current version of flashchat..and when i click it..i have to keep logging in.

Hello.

Thanks For The File, the Chat Shall Be Very Good.

The Unzipped File DON'T Contains the "config.php" file located at "/chat/inc/config.php".

It'll be important that you review the Download Zipped File and Include all the Necessary Files for the Add-on to work Ok!!

I had to Disable it because when trying to access the FlashChat Link an Error occurred that Avoided me the Access to the Forum, fortunately Not to the Admin Control Panel where I was able to Disable the Add-on and Restore the Forums Access again for the Users.

I'll be hoping that You Include the Complete Version of the Zipped File to Download It and Try It!!

Thank You Very Much!!

:)

[daddygrim]

works great!!!!

[Paul M]

The Unzipped File DON'T Contains the "config.php" file located at "/chat/inc/config.php".Umm, yes .... that's correct.

Since that is the Flashchat config file (obviously supplied with Flashchat .....).

[inciarco]

Umm, yes .... that's correct.

Since that is the Flashchat config file (obviously supplied with Flashchat .....).

I don't understand Paul M, how do I install the Downloaded File??

It only contains the following Files, and other Directories that I've already copied in the Root Directory of my Forums:

(root)\chat\inc\cmses\vbulletin36CMS.php
(root)\includes\xml\bitfield_flashchat

and

Flashchat-vb-integration.xml
that is the File I Upload with the [Add/Import Product] Hyperlink, located in the "Manage Products" Section of the Admin Control Panel!!

But when I did that it didn't work!!

What did I do wrong??

What should I do exactly to make it work??

How do I Download the other Files?? Where should I copy them?? (in what Directories)??

Please Orient Me!! :up:

My Best Regards!! Thank You For All The Download Files, They've Been Very Helpful!! :up:

:)

[shepherdblake]

If am am understanding the integration mod correctly, will everything that users "chat" about be redirected to a forum/thread? I have several threads that are pretty busy and it would be nice to use flash chat and have whatever is said in the chat to be automatically posted in those threads.

You're right. I didn't notice that Flashchat was an Independent Software; I'll try to get a licence to try it and then try again the Add-On!!

Is it possible to have a history of our conversations to be shown on the forum home?

Example:

People chatting, but having ajax or auto-refresh on text of the conversation that is going on in the chat?

[Paul M]

Is it possible to have a history of our conversations to be shown on the forum home? Is it possible - well technically yes, I'm sure it would be possible. Is there any sort of mod that does this ? - no, none I know of (and I'm pretty well informed where Flashchat and vBulletin are concerned)..

If am am understanding the integration mod correctly, will everything that users "chat" about be redirected to a forum/thread? I have several threads that are pretty busy and it would be nice to use flash chat and have whatever is said in the chat to be automatically posted in those threads.Sorry, you seem to misunderstand - there is nothing in this that posts conversations to threads (see above answer as well).

Hello together,
we have the 123flashchat and the problem with the integration it always say this user doesnt exist and passwort wrong so we can't login the chat using the user data out of the forum (vbulletin) please help us. thank you very much

we are only using the integration modul from the 123flashchat, may be should use this hack here?

thank you very much

[Paul M]

This mod has nothing to do with 123flashchat, this is for Tufat Flashchat.

[cerulean]

Paul,

Is there a way I can have the Chat open say in the top 1/4 of the forum screen and the forums below it?

[Paul M]

Technically yes you could by using frames (similar to how this already does it) - but as soon as you clicked on any forum you would be logged out/in again by the screen refresh, so I'm not sure what you would gain.

[cerulean]

Ok, Well thanks for the info. It still is a great update.

[Neo_obs]

not sure if I should ask this here or tufat but any chance you can add spy support or is that not available for the CMS version of flashchat?

[lamur]

Hey Paul, can this mod be used with another chatting program besides flashchat?

Hehe.. Just kidding. Just some geek humor.

Hey I do have one question. It might just be a type of CSS error or something.
But when I go to the chat room via misc.php?do=flashchat

Everything seems to work great, BUT I do get that error at the bottom of the internet explorer that says:

Line: 1

The instructions are a tad vague for an extremely casual website mistress like myself. Where exactly do I upload the "chat and includes" folders to? I have a somewhat unusual installation. My web root is the directory for my forum, thus you get to my vBulletin board by going to:

http://mysite.net

The chat folder that came with Flashchat was uploaded directly to this root, located at:

http://mysite.net/chat

Furthermore, the includes folder for my vBulletin installation is in that same directory:

http://mysite.net/includes

If I follow the instructions for flashchat integration and simply upload the folders named "chat" and "includes" that cam with this mod, I'm going to be overwriting a LOT of php scripts and other files installed by vBulletin and Flashchat that seem vitally important to the board.

Where, then, should these folders go in an installation like mine?

[Paul M]

You are making an incorrect assumption - you will not overwrite everything that is already in those existing folders, as the filenames are different - all that will get overwritten (correctly) is one file.

[eclaire]

Hi Paul. Thanks for the reply and explanation.

The old addage, "You learn something new everyday" certainly applies here, as does "better late than never"! I am a newcomer to dealing with my own website but certainly not a newcomer to computers, having built my own systems for 7 years, tweaked operating systems for high performance in video editing, successfully dealt with rather complext driver issues from the pre-windows 98 days, etc.

And through all of this, I completely believed that if I drug a folder called "X" into a directory where there is already a folder called "X", I would completely overwrite the destination folder "X" and all of its contents. I didn't realize until a few moments ago, when I tested this, that only the files in the destination folder that had the same names as those in the moved "X" folder would be overwritten.

Have I truly been under a rock on this issue for 10 years, or was there a prior version of windows that in fact did not selectively overwrite in this fashion? I understand if you don't feel like replying, I'm just curious at how I ever acquired the belief that things worked differently.

[Paul M]

It has been the case on windows for as long as I've been using it (since 1994) - and was also the case on my older RISC OS.

Will this or does anyone know if you can have the chat window start in a new window instead of starting within vB page?

[honestdave]

after using flashchat the site starts to not load up some of the images on the page...then a refresh or two later and all it will say is "page not found"

quite frustrating.


usually restarting the browser helps. but sometimes it has to be restarted 2x or more.


any ideas.

Right thanks... just wondering if anyone else here knew. No worries, I think I'll just use secret channel on IRC and mIRC etc. with my community, unless anyone else can suggest a low-bandwidth yet private-enuf alternative.

[objectuser]

My Flashchat integration appears to be otherwise working as expected, but I'm getting an error from, I believe, mod_security, when I right click on a user and select profile inside Flashchat:
You don't have permission to access /forums/profile.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Is there something I can do to solve this problem, outside of disabling mod_security (which I'm not even sure I can do)?

Otherwise, is there a way to remove the profile option from the menu inside Flashchat so users don't get this error?

Thanks!

I'm sure I could have overlooked something in 46 pages of replies, but I need to know how to have this embedded in just one forum. If that is possible at all.

Can someone give me a hint, please?

[Paul M]

TBH, I would not recommend embedding it in a forum display - since that would mean every single person reading that forum would get logged in - a potentially serious health hazzard to your server.

Would it be possible to embed it in such a way that a person would get a login box, instead of getting automatically logged in? Is this even the right thread to be asking this in, lol?

We've had the shoutbox in place on one page for so long, it could confuse our users that like to chat.

Is needed to previously Buy and Install a Licence of FlashChat first for US$5, and Install it in a Folder named "chat" in the same Location of the Forum, before you can Integrate it with your vBulletin Forum!! :up:

Does this work with all 3.6.x versions or only the later ones? Installed flashchat which works. Installed your files and imported xml. I see options in control panel and user groups. all is enabled and permissions correct but no links will show in nav or in quick links. Also doing the misc.php call to flashchat per instructions only shows the emoticon page and not the embedded flash. tried reimporting xml with overwrite and still no joy. any ideas? are hooks missing from early 3.6 versions that would prevent this hack from working?

[Paul M]

It says 3.6.x because it works with any 3.6.x version.

[mvigod]

It says 3.6.x because it works with any 3.6.x version.


I did flashchat install. followed other instructions. however it doesn't insert link in quick links or nav (tried both options) and going to the misc.php using the call doesn't work. Tried overwriting the xml and reupping the files and no luck. I can use the flashchat ok if I go to the main chat directory so that means flashchat working ok. I'm on 3.6.0 which is why I asked. Figured some hooks might be missing from that version.

Any ideas where to look before we upgrade to latest vb? I wanted to get this live fast and test out before the upgrade.

if people joins the room from the link "misc.php?do=flashchat" its okay but some ppl access from "chat/flashchat.php" and they cant see ppl who logged in from misc.php?do=flashchat.

Its complicated i couldnt understand the problem.. any ideas?

[Paul M]

Nope, not idea, misc.php calls flashchat.php anyway. Are you running two copies of flashchat or something ?

[mescalin]

yea i know its just an iframe of flashchat n there is only one installation but it behaves as two diffrent installations. anyway i think its flashchat issue..

thank for this great mod..

I have installed flashchat correctly but when i start chat and i post a messege in the main window takes time to be present inside.Something like delay.Anyone can help?

[jake7338]

Looks like a fantatic mod Paul. I am having trouble with the last step. This is the first product i have ever installed.

I go to plugins and products -> manage products -> [add/import]

When i select the xml file its says :

Importing Product, Please Wait...

[:]

and then doesn't do anything. Do i need to enable products? It says it will do that automatically for me. Any advice appreciated. Thanks, --jake

[Paul M]

What exactly do you mean by does nothing ?

If it stays stuck on that importing screen then something is wrong with your vb product import.

[jake7338]

Yes, it stays stuck. The activity indicator in the top right of my browser stops.
I tried loading the xml file from my pc and off my web hosting server. No difference.

Any chance you could tell me how to trouble shoot the vb product import system?

I am having a problem with editing forums since i upgraded to vb 3.6.6, and i am still working on that issue. Other then that everything in admincp seems to work fine. I don't think this would be related to that. This doesn't use the "forum" table in sql does it?

Thanks,

As the main post says ;

I am not Tufat.com (http://www.tufat.com) or Flashchat Support - if you have questions about Flashchat, their forums are here (http://www.tufat.com/forum/index.php).


Thanks.

How can I embed this chat in the foumhome page without it logging out whenever the page is refreshed?

Hi,


I have a question about the usergroups being integrated with flash chat. Are the username html markup's shown in the flash chat? IE: If I have one of my usergroups set to BOLD RED for their usernames will it show up as BOLD RED inside and during the chat sessions?

Thank you,

Jeff Smith
If you are using the "Who is chatting" addon, the HTML markups work there. Inside the chat, it's just impossible.

[Strafe]

Paul, need another help here.

I'm not really sure if it is covered by Tufat's support or your script.

My problem is, custom usergroups I create are unable to login into chat. I checked the config if there is an option for usergroup chat access but its not there. I remember in the installation however that you get to set usergroup numbers at one section - which exact file whould I be looking at to allow custom usergroups access to chat?

Have you installed Flashchat? If yes, have you input the proper settings in chat/inc/config.php?

[AresGW]

Fantastic! Thank You!!!

Can anyone let me know why my members on a custom usergroup can't access flashchat?

[EBrant]

I had a quick look at the flash chat fite Tufat.com for some reason the forum page did not seem to work.

In any event can someone please answer some questions for me please:

1: Do you have to install the marcomdia Flash plugin toyour browser for Flash chat to work ?
and what if new users to your site do not already have it.

2: Is it limited to 10 user per chat room. Some of the information I saw on tufat.com seemed to suggest it was limited to 10 users per room only.

Please let me know Ernest_Harold_Brant@Yahoo.co.uk

If you could email me I would be grateful Thanks

[wdlove]

You can't do it, at least not via misc.php.

You can do it via flashchat.php?username=_int_&room=2 (or whatever room number you want).

This works wonderfully. One problem (for anyone willing to help). When I set a room to private and I try to join the room via the method above, it joins a room called "[null]".

Is there a fix to make it join the proper private room?

Thanks in advance.

[JaredC01]

Solved.

Can anyone let me know why my members on a custom usergroup can't access flashchat?There can be numerous reasons, impossible to say without ftp/admin access.

1: Do you have to install the marcomdia Flash plugin toyour browser for Flash chat to work ?
and what if new users to your site do not already have it.

2: Is it limited to 10 user per chat room. Some of the information I saw on tufat.com seemed to suggest it was limited to 10 users per room only.These are Flashchat support questions - but briefly - 1. Yes, 2. That's a config setting. Also, JFYI, I don't reply to any support questions via e-mail.

Again a Flashchat question really - but I would guess that Flashchat does not allow direct access to private rooms (if it did, they wouldn't really be very private).

[Nordraserei]

It seems when I download the mod, most of the files are missing. Install.php is missing, config.php is missing. I only have 2 XML files and that's it. :down:

[Paul M]

There are no files missing from this mod. Those files belong to Flashchat, not this mod.

[Silvio]

Is there any known issues with sub-groups management for this mod?

I try to better explain and please accept my apologises for itanglish used.:p
(Scenary : vBull 3.6.7PL1/ FlashChat4.7.11/FlashChat Integration 3.52)

example : I do not want that 'Registered Users' group has privileges to use flashchat, but I want that a Group called 'Active Users' nested as sub-group to 'Registered Users' could have the rights to login the Chat.

Now at the state of the art this option is unavailable as if I try to set on 'Registered Users' group all necessary flashchat rights as by following parameters:
- No Chat Access=yes
(tested also with - Banned From Chat=No
and aftewords set the sub-group 'Active Users' as
- User Level Access= yes
this subgroup then should get access but it don't.

they only way I got to let it work is
- No Chat Access=no on 'Registered Users'
and
- User Level Access= yes on 'Active Users'
obviously the chat requester presented to 'Registered Users' is not the one ment, but it works.

Did I something wrong? is it fixable?

ty so much and regards

take care

ciao

[Paul M]

A usergroup can only have one permission, if you set more than one then only one will be used (the lower one in the list). You must set Registered Users = No Access & Active Users = User Access (which seems to be what you have done).

I don't understand what you mean by this bit "obviously the chat requester presented to 'Registered Users' is not the one ment"

[varkjie]

at the expense of sounding stupid here but will I need to buy the flashchat or is it included with the download here of the instructions to install??

Thanks for sparing me of your laughter!:o

[Paul M]

LOL :D


(Yep, you need to buy it :))

[Paul M]

Can anyone let me know why my members on a custom usergroup can't access flashchat?I looked at your forum tonight for you - you had not uploaded the vbulletin36CMS.php file that is supplied with this modification - I have uploaded that file for you, and your custom usergroups now work as expected.

[JodiSal]

How do I install this one? I'm a bit confused by the directions. I don't know which files go where.

[Paul M]

Just copy the folders to your forum root.

[jessej]

clicks installed:)
