I am very new to all of this.

Exactly what are the steps to instal this?

Install Flashchat, ticking the option to integrate with a CMS (on the first page where file permissions are checked)

What in the world does that mean?

I read the instructions and have no idea what they are talking about.

Thank you kindly.

Yes this 'thing' is on - and as the firstpost says, this is not a Flashchat support forum. If you want help installing FC then you need to goto the Tufat forums, a link is in the main post.

Has anyone figured out how to modify the integration to work with the ajax skin?

My members are revolting over the default smilies and this skin moves them from flash files into network storage as .gifs

Instructions say that you should point to /chat/ajax/index.php but I can't figure out how to get chat/flashchat.php to recognize it in the integration.

Flashchat integration does not work with the ajax skin.

I know this is straying off topic a little, but I figured this would be the best place to find coders who know how to tweak Flashchat. I bought the module pack for Flashchat and I have been trying to get web radio working for 2 days now to no avail. I give up. During that time I figured it would be easier to embed a player set to 1 radio station. The problem is, I have tried everything and can't find the proper place to put the HTML so the player shows up in the chat. Any coders out there who can give me a hand with this? Here is the example code:

<EMBED SRC="http://www.web-radio.com/stream.cfm?id=789" VOLUME="99" HEIGHT="60" WIDTH="144">

Thanks for the followup, Paul. Given the choice, I will stick with the integration and the horrific smilies.

My users cannot use the chat because it tells them they are banned, this is of course using the feature that auto logs them in with their forum account.

I am pretty sure its a problem with the CMS file, because I do not use the traditional usergroups. Anyways my question is where is the CMS file located? ( or whatever file is used to designate certain users permission to login )

Paul M

Nevermind, I apologize. I found the CMS inside of the uhh....i think it was the inc then under cmses

/forum/inc/cmses/vbulletin35.cms

or something similiar to that ( for anyone with same problem )

My prime proble is that when I try to open chat a it:
Load setting OK
load chat main window ok
starting chat system...
Then I only get a glue screen with no content.

I tried to load the /chat/admin/index.php but it gives me the error:
vBulletin 3.6.x : Integration Error 03 : No permissions set for usergroup 6.

Does anyone know what I did wrong??

Yes I did that. Actually I made a reinstall and now I do get a bit further. I can now go into the chat pannel (normal user).
But I still cannot login to the Admin Panel. I get the following error:

PHP Warning: fetch(d:\Domains\domain.com\wwwroot\forum\chat\inc/../templates/templates_c\%%AC^AC1^AC1385FF%%admin_index.tpl.php ) [function.fetch]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in d:\Domains\domain.com\wwwroot\forum\chat\inc\smart y\Smarty.class.php on line 1251 PHP Warning: fetch(d:\Domains\domain.com\wwwroot\forum\chat\inc/../templates/templates_c\%%AC^AC1^AC1385FF%%admin_index.tpl.php ) [function.fetch]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in d:\Domains\domain.com\wwwroot\forum\chat\inc\smart y\Smarty.class.php on line 1251 PHP Warning: fetch() [function.include]: Failed opening 'd:\Domains\domain.com\wwwroot\forum\chat\inc/../templates/templates_c\%%AC^AC1^AC1385FF%%admin_index.tpl.php ' for inclusion (include_path='.;d:\php\includes') in d:\Domains\domain.com\wwwroot\forum\chat\inc\smart y\Smarty.class.php on line 1251

All the rest seems to work just fine. I can login in VBulletin and then go to /chat/flashchat.php and I can chat away.
I would very appreciate if one has an idea how I can access the admin panel

Thank!!

Looks like you need to make the templates_c folder writable (chmod 777).

I'm not sure whether to perform step 3 or not. What exactly does this option do?

Redirects them back to the index page if they click on Flashchats logout button.

I get the same error:

Then I only get a glue screen with no content.

I can access the Flashchat admin panel okay but whenever I try and run flashchat, either direct or via my forum, I get this - these loading messages then a blank screen with no content.
The "Starting chat..." message seems to jump out at 30%.
Re-installed twice and still the same error.
Any ideas?

Paul M

01-13-2008, 02:56 PM

As the first post says ;

Support: Please check the instructions, and make sure you have uploaded any files to the correct location - the vast majority of problems reported are due to an error made in editing or uploading files. If you are still stuck and want me to take a look then feel free to PM me your site address, an admin user, and ftp access details, without these I cannot help you. I will look when I have time.

01-14-2008, 08:51 AM

With all due respect mate - there is no way I would give these details out to anyone.
Cant you offer some advice on how to fix the problem when all you get in a blank background with no content?

Paul M

01-14-2008, 11:35 AM

There are so many things that can cause that. JFYI, I have fixed many tens of forums who have given me such details over the years. If you choose not to then there is nothing I can do for you.

When you upgrade to vBChat 4.8.3 do you still use the vbulletin36CMS.php that comes along with this mod or do you used the upgraded vbulletin36CMS.php that is included with FlashChat 4.8.3?

I'm using vBulletin 3.6.8 patch II.

Paul M

01-18-2008, 06:15 PM

If you are using this mod then you must use the vbulletin36CMS.php file that comes with this.

oldengine

01-19-2008, 12:40 AM

The problem is that I do not find where to place my additional usergroupid numbers in this new included version of vbulletin36CMS.php

The stock version of vbulletin36CMS.php has the following...

// Usergroup Definitions
$users = '2' ; // Usergroups allowed standard access to chat.
$moderators = '5,7' ; // Usergroups allowed access as chat moderators.
$administrators = '6' ; // Usergroups allowed access as chat administrators.
$banned = '1,8' ; // Usergroups banned from accessing the chat at any time.

Where do I place these values in this mod?

EDIT +++++++++++++++++++

Good grief I found it!

I'm not used to all these modern conveniences like having "FlashChat Permissions" in my ACP usergroups.

AARRRGGGHHH!!! I feel dumb.

Thanks for the excellent work Paul.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Can anyone take a stab at explaining the difference between "No Chat Access" and "Banned From Chat"? Are the results the same, but only with different connotation?

I think my original deal of adding an additional Subscriber privilege group in /inc/layouts just got more complicated, at least to me...

The main difference is if you are in multiple usergroups. Normal access overrides no access, but banned overrides everything.

I had this hack installed with no problems sometime ago. I uninstalled it, now I've reinstalled it. The only usergroups that seem to be able to access the chat is usergroup 2, 6, 7, and 5, althought I have usergroup permissions configured in the specfic usergroups.

I'm at a loss, any suggestions would be greatly appericated.

Are you sure you re-installed the CMS file from this mod, not the default flashchat supplied file.

Paul M

01-24-2008, 08:36 PM

No access is exactly that, they cannot enter the chat. User access means they can enter and chat. There is no "lurk" option.

My guess was that he meant to force all users' text colors within the chat to revert to white or whatever. Which has nothing whatsoever to do with this mod.

hi paul, ive used your plugins a few times with very few issues, however never on a vbadvanced system.

the instalation i just did, seemed to go all ok, and ive added vb intergration and the cp intergration, whos chatting plus the vba addon and module, my problem is that in the admin cp if i click in rooms it says , in red, that flashchat is not installed, i know it is...

also when you use the link in the vba module flashchat loads into the window does the loding thing then just stops on the blue skin screen, and wont go any further.

i can give you access but it will need to be via pm as the domain is locked down as we are still developing.

Hi Paul,
I was hoping you could help me out. I have tried to install this mod a few times now. Everytime I install it, it worked great. I am able to log straight into the FlashChat from my VB board. But after a few min or so, I then am not able to log into FlashChat at all using my VB account that just worked a few min earlier. I am also not able to log into the Admin console with that account either. I went and checked that my usergroup has the correct rights in the Usergroup panel in the VB Admin Console and it does. Any idea's on what could be going on?

Thanks!

Sorry, I can't think of anything that would cause that.

I have installed this module and I am having the 'Incorrect user name or password. Please try again." error.

I've used the search function and browsed through most of the pages, others fixes do not seem to work.

Here is my install steps:

1) Install FlashChat, use CMS option for vBulletin 3.6
2) Finish install
3) Change redirect option in config.php
4) Change ban message in en.php
5) Upload new CMS file (included in your package)
6) Upload XML file to include/xml folder
7) Install Product XML

Click 'Quick Links' and 'FlashChat' and I receive that error.

Then, if I type in the same username and password as I'm already logged into vBulletin with, it works just fine.

The user group is setup properly, (being an administrator with administration access).

I've tried both UTF true and false.

What am I missing? :erm:

Hello Paul,

I was showing some members the chat room and they set there theme, text color and skin before I had a chance to disable these options. Now that I have disabled these options there text color, theme, and skin don't match what I set to be default. Is there a way to reset there setting so they see the default theme, text color and skin?

our flashchat has been working with the integration for almost a year now without no problems, all of the sudden when you try to into it, it shows that is loading however nothing shows up after that is basically the blank chat background. Any ideas, we have not made any changes to the site including hacks.

Direct room login: I just had a strange anomaly reported to me...

When using a direct link /forum/misc.php?do=flashchat&room=4 those entering room 4 are also seen in room one. This may be because the person entering from that link did not have a privilege level to change rooms. In other words, if they went direct to the chat they would be in room one only.

Just one of those strange ones to report and it is repeatable. Might be just my setup. I have four rooms, but only subscribers can switch to the other rooms. The direct link to a room will accept any registered user.

Not a high priority problem - I removed the direct links.

When Flashchat refers to a CMS it means the software its being integrated with (like vbulletin).

I see what you mean. It says this:

"Install Flashchat, ticking the option to integrate with a CMS (on the first page where file permissions are checked)

On the CMS page choose the vBulletin 3.6 option. "

I don't see where to do this. I managed products and plugin's under the Admincp and installed that way.

Ive asked on Tufat forums first about this error, but they have asked me to ask you.

Basically Live Support Mode doesnt work, instead all I get is the standard mode. Ive ticked the correct box upon installation, ive ensured config.php has "true" set for live support mode, but all to no avail.

Is there anything you can suggest as ive installed this mod and wondering if there is anything contained which could be affecting live support mode?

Yes as mentioned above, ive enabled it and read all instructions by the book. Ive set the config.php files "Livesupportmode" line to true, and even re-installed flashchat with the latest version ensuring it is installed in support mode.

This is the support thread i created at Tufat.com:

Hi Paul, again thank you so much for the reply, I do appreciate this.

Hmm, its not working for me and my users. Ive tested it not logged in, tested as a forum member and also as admin. I really dont know what could be wrong :s

However, one last thing......

For some reason, unregistered users cant access the FC. I have set their permission to "Customer" in Usergroup Manager, but upon entering a username, it requires a password too, which of course they wouldnt have being a "guest", thus no permission for FC is produced. Any ideas how to overcome this?

Thanks for any help :)

You cannot do it, the basic point of integration is that guests will never get access.

I had this error too. Edit the plugin named FlashChat Integration (1)
and change this line:

to this:

$room = '?room='.intval($vbulletin->options['fcroom']);

In short, you are just removing & and replacing it for a ?

Paul M

02-28-2008, 02:32 PM

There should be no reason to edit any plugins, and I'm stuggling to see how you could generate a url that ends simply in ../flashchat.php&room=1 unless maybe you have some sort of custom template edits.

Edit the link in the navbar and use TARGET="_blank" to open the chat in a new window.

The code will look something like this:
<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/"target="_blank">Chat Room</a>

<a href="address to chat room here"target="_blank">Chat Room</a>

Since the piece in the navbar can be (de)-activated in the options, there is no such link in the navbar.
The 'blank'-function must be edited somewhere within this mod, but cannot find the correct place/way.

You do not know how to edit your nav bar directly?

Admin control panel - styles and templates - search in templates - search for navbar - edit navbar - search in navbar for Calendar.

Insert the HTML code for your chat room right after

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

<td><a href="address to chat room here"target="_blank">Chat Room</a></td>

That way your navbar is in ABC order.

The navbar will then be - Calendar Chat Room

Here is the code copied straight from my navbar -

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>

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

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="mywebsite name/misc.php?do=flashchat">Chat Room</a></td>

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'nbmsgshowchatbox' in 'field list'

Does not matter which usergroup I want to edit, it all gives the same error. I want to give a sertain usergroup an other permission than the one which is standard, but it will not do it.

I have uninstalled this mod, added again, no succes. I have uninstalled the chat completely (also remaining tables in sql) and re-installed it, no succes.

Anybody an idea what is wrong or an other way to edit the permissions?

Ok I know I made a post in this thread a few days ago and now it's gone. As anyone had issues with posts getting deleted for no reason?

Anyway, I've installed this flashchat with integration (marked as installed too) everything seems to work ok up to the point where I click on the flashchat link that I put on my navbar manually. It will bring up the vb page with the iframe but inside the IFrame it's displaying a 404 error for the page. I've right clicked inside the iframe to bring up properties dialog and it's showing:

res://ieframe.dll/http_404.htm#http://www.talkvirginia.net/forum/chat/flashchat.php&room=1

I've viewed the page source code and it's showing the iframe executing the correct url after I changed the $vbphrase[flashchat_path].


<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<tr align="center">
<td class="alt1">
<iframe width="100%" height="600" src="http://www.talkvirginia.net/forum/chat/flashchat.php&room=1"></iframe>
</td>

</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead"><div class="smallfont">Flashchat Integration Version 3.7.002 : &copy <a href="http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/member.php?u=1268">Paul Marsden</a> 2008</div></td>
</tr>
</table>


Flashchat works great in a separate window/tab.

I'm running vbadvanced 3.0 gold/Vbulletin 3.7.0 beta 5

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance!

This is the thread for vb 3.6, you are in the wrong place. :)

The 404 bug was in the 3.7 version and fixed the other day.

Anybody an idea how to solve my problem (2 posts earlier)? I cannot even give my co-admin adminrights and she can not login too while she has userrights, very strange.

You need to remove the bitfield file associated with the 'nbmsgshowchatbox' modification from your includes/xml folder

Oh ok, :erm: My bad! lol

By the way, since we are talking about 3.6, I just tried to install the product for this integration on my 3.6.8 site and I keep getting an error saying that this version is only compatible with 3.7.x Am I losing my mind again?

Jim

EDIT: Nevermind - I got it working... I think I was half asleep when I tried to install it.. and I'm just being a goober. Don't mind me. Thanks for this integration! :)

Too bad the entire flashchat and integration blocks the ability to backup the VB databse from within the admin cp.

Paul M

03-12-2008, 05:14 PM

and how does it block that exactly ?

Finster

03-13-2008, 02:02 PM

It just hangs up and stop the backup process as the flashchat files are the first to try to back up in the list of all the DB files to be backed up via the vB backup tools in the admin cp.

My webmaster couldn't get it to not hang up during backup either.

Paul M

03-13-2008, 05:41 PM

Works fine for me, and integration has no effect on the mysql tables anyway.

Hi everyone. I'm a bit of a noob here, but I'm picking things up.

I've just installed this, but we want to change the page name from FlashChat to BlackChat in the breadcrumbs nav section so that our competition (who watches us like a hawk) doesn't know what modules we are using without really snooping.

And also the module page directly if possible.

ie misc.php?do=flashchat&room=1 to misc.php?do=blackchat&room=1

I hard coded the menu in NavBar so it says chat already, but these are making me scratch my head a bit.

Any suggestions?

Paul M

03-17-2008, 10:54 AM

The Navbar/Breadcrumbs can be altered simply by editing the phrase "Flashchat" - you cannot alter the links without quite a few edits of the actual plugin code.

I just installed Flashchat and this Integration mod. Everything is working fine, the way it is supposed to be, but I want to tweak it a little.

The chat opens within the forum, and I like that, but I want to make it so it opens a new window or tab when someone clicks on Flashchat in the navbar. What do I need to do to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Paul M

04-05-2008, 02:19 AM

Add target="blank" to the link code.

Have you checked the groups chat permission in the ACP?

blackmamba16

04-07-2008, 03:29 PM

yes, set to user level acess...

When this user wants so join, autologin fails, as like manual login...

would be pleased if there is a possibility to get this running... maybe reinstalling the plugin? Cause the group was created after installing the integration and flashhat...

Paul M

04-07-2008, 04:42 PM

When the group was created is irrelevant. You obviously have a setup problem somewhere.

I have successfully installed Flashchat. I am now ready to install the integration mod. In the instructions it says to "upload the chat and includes folder".

My flashchat is the root of the forums directory in a folder named chat. Do these folders go into that chat directory, or the forum root directory?

Just not sure on where these get installed.

Thanks in advance!

Paul M

04-07-2008, 07:49 PM

You shouldnt be set up like that really. The chat stuff goes in the chat folder, the includes stuff in the vb includes folder, you will have to manually copy each seperately.

KenS

04-07-2008, 07:57 PM

Bear with me here as I am new to all of this. Maybe I am using the wrong terminology.

My forum is located like this

www.####.info/forum

Flashchat is located www.####.info/forum/chat

I have installed the flashchat and it will let me log in. I am now to the point where I want to install your mod. This is where I get lost.

If I upload the chat and includes folder, where do I put it? If I put it in the /forum it will overwrite the existing chat folder, will it not? Is that what it needs to do? Also, where does the includes folder go?

Paul M

04-07-2008, 09:19 PM

It will not overwite the existing folder, it will just overwrite one file (as required). You copy the includes to the forum folder as well (where you should already have one, this copys a new file into it).

KenS

I've got it all working and looks great..

Does anyone know how to make Staff Rooms? Etc?

Hello Paul,

From the way you worded this and step 1 of your install text it appears clearly that this is integration and not the actual Flashchat product, of which I can dl for free at there site. Correct?

Secondly is there anyway within the controls that I can disable users changing the layout, or is there anyway I can make the layout of the chat pull from the existing style that a user is on?

Thanks in advance, and I've hit installed but will wait for answers before I do anything.

For Flashchat inside a vBulletin page you need to link to .../misc.php?do=flashchat

Where is this?

just remove the RED text if you don't want the number of active chatters to appear in your navbar.

I have the number of chatters showing on the navbar on the main vB forum page, but which plug-in do I need to change the 'Hook Location' of to make the $totalchatters a global variable seen in all forums and threads?

Members in Flashchat (1) cache_templates
Members in Flashchat (2) global_start
FlashChat Integration (1) parse_templates
FlashChat Integration (2) online_location_process
FlashChat Integration (3) online_location_unknown
FlashChat Integration (4) misc_start

Which file should i update? vbulletin36CMS.php ?

Paul M

There is no file you can update for this - it is a Flashchat issue - when the profile option is selected it sends the request as a POST - there is no real need for this and Tufat need to change it to a GET request. That will solve the CSRF error.

Members recently started reporting they are unable to login. Their login name and user password no longer work. All user groups checked and proper permissions granted, system enabled. I've run out of ideas how to resolve this and never had that problem before the integration, any ideas or fixes?

Just check my Flashchat yesterday and although I can login and make a comment in the room, something appears to be wrong. Currently the Chat Room says I have about 15 people in it and I know none of these people are actually online at the moment.

I'm also running the 'Who is chatting (for Flashchat)' and that confirms knowbody is in the chatroom except me. It's as though the connections within flashchat haven't been dropped.

This is a strange error because as far as I know this Mod has been working absolutely fine for months!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nothing to do with this mod, thats a known flashchat issue.

Paul, could you be so good as to steer me to somewhere on the FlashChat site? I've been there and can't find the issue, let alone a fix or workaround. In the meantime, my chat is dead. Yikes!

First off, let me thank you for the awesome job you did with this. Such an easy install and works perfectly.

Quick question to you code masters...
I would like to have the number of users in chat reflected as a number only next to the link on the navbar. Could anyone help me out with what the code might be for that.

So instead of the navbar reading Chat, I want it to read Chat (8) for example.

Thanks again,
MC

Is there a way to disable the filter for swear words? I can't find that code either.

My hosting provider does not allow me to have chat scripts installed ... Is there a way to install flashchat on another server and use it by this integration remotely ?

Hello ,

I don't think so because chat must be located into the root folder.
I for my opinion think your provider means IRC chat when he talk about chat. I never see that a provider can forbidden PHP chat's. I also sure that he don't mean that.
