Flashchat: Integration for vB 3.7

[yozzzo]

Having trouble... I copy the new CMS file and change the config.php like it says, but after the loading screen for the FlashChat it just sits there.

same problem here.

I've installed everything properly, but when i try to log in, it shows the loading window and after that ONLY the blue background and nothing else. it simply won't start.

I've checked my uploads, uploaded everything again in binaries mode but still no success.

[koxito]

Same problem here.

Just can't get it to work on 3.7 u_u.

I just can't find the files to make the integration, the config.php file in the inc directory of the flash chat doesnt content the lines in this mod description, so i can do anithing.

¿ is it just me ?.

Lumis Out.

[cindy helmond]

hope FlashChat version 5.0.1 is fix this bug

FlashChat version 5.0.1 is to by now !:D

o o there a problems with the 5.0 versions look here (http://forum.tufat.com/showthread.php?t=50217)

[lstintxs100]

5.0.1 was buggy as well. 5.0.2 is mentioned to be released in a few hours. I will have to throw up a page to see if it works.

[Dirkt1]

Hello and sorry for my Bad English.
I go to ADMIN->FlashChat Admin Panel->Messages and then i become:

vBulletin 3.7 : Integration Error 03 : No permissions set for usergroup 65.

What can i Do ?

[Paul M]

Edit usergroup 65 and give it some permissions.

[Paul M]

Well Version 5 has been released. Will this still work Paul.

No idea, Ive been away so not even seen version 5.

[tweakmonkey]

Got it working fine with Vbulletin 3.7.2 and FlashChat 5.03.

If you're getting a blank screen on installation of FlashChat, after step 2, here's a fix I found on the support forums... open /chat/install.php and at the end change:

if( $_SESSION['step_install'] > 2 )
{
include './inc/common.php';
include './inc/config.php'; // FlashChat config
}

include './install_files/step_'.$_SESSION['step_install'].'.php';
?>

to:

if( $_SESSION['step_install'] > 2 )
{
include './inc/common.php';
include './inc/config.php'; // FlashChat config
}

//FIX BY VERONICA
if($_SESSION['step_install']=="3")$_SESSION['step_install']="3.5";
$step=$_SESSION['step_install'];
//END-OF-FIX

include './install_files/step_'.$_SESSION['step_install'].'.php';
?>

This will get Flashchat installed and finds the database config from Vbulletin if you select 3.6.

This modifcation's instructions mention editing Config.php from FlashChat. I found one in /chat/inc, but the line we're told to edit is not there. To fix this, I simply renamed the file included with this modification (\chat\inc\cmses\vbulletin37CMS.php) to vbulletin36CMS.php and overwrote the existing 3.6 file, that I did not need. It worked fine after this.

Also, the code from the instructions for this mod mentioned in Step 3 of the installation are not there anymore either so I just ignored it.

I want to have "Flaschat [x]" link in the navbar where [x] is showing the number of people logged into the chat. How can I do it?

[chockoblogger]

While the majorityof our members are able to see the chat room since the upgrade to the recent vbulletin 3.7.2, a few of our members are not able to log into the chat room. A black screen shows and smilies show up but no dialogue boxes or drop downs.

I am not sure if I need to try and use the fix you posted in the thread above,because this is working for me and the majority of the board. This chat works fine if these members use other computers but not the main computer they use daily.

Can you help?

[R.P.G]

Finally works for me, thanks to Veronica's fix and your xml file. Now I can finally make use of it :)

[manning]

This thing has my site down now !!!!

edit - the site is back up and running now ... sucks having to do half a dozen things to get a program to work.

I dont see any links on my board to get into chat though. Do you have to add these manually - I didnt see any thing telling me to do that.... what are the links?

Required link found and manually added.

[butler312]

I get this error when trying to view a members profile from the chat room:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

I don't get the error when viewing their profile from the forums though, even though it points to the same place.

[butler312]

Also, there is no flash chat settings or anything in the acp

[Jaxel]

Flashchat 5.04 is now available... What changes with this mod?

[Paul M]

No idea. I doubt I'll even look at 5.04 until the weekend.

Also, there is no flash chat settings or anything in the acpThere isnt meant to be.

[Jaxel]

I already tested it... this mod works PERFECTLY with FC 5.04... there is no need for Veronica's fix either... you just gotta pick VB3.6 as your CMS and it works great.

However, the Flashchat: Who is chatting mod does not work at all.

[shlomot]

Hello Paul. Thanks a lot for the integration MOD.

I wonder if you can help me with the following issues:

1. When I click the Chat link on navbar is takes me to http://www.topsynergy.net/misc.php?do=flashchat&room=1 , which the right place to be :) However, on top of the chat part of the page it also opens the donation mod. How can I resolve that?

2. I wish to have the link open the chat in a new window, without manual editing of the navbar template if possible. Any suggestions?

3. And last but not least - I installed FleshChat with some default rooms that are not accessible via the Admin integration. How do I change those to fit the theme of the site?

Thanks a lot.

[Chris11987]

1. So this chat costs 5 dollars, and then I just use the integration form here to use it on vb, right?

2. Can anyone give me an idea of how heavy the chat is on a server? I currently use an AJAX chat using 4 tables with an average of 25-30ish people

[Paul M]

For support on Flashchat you need to use the Tufat forums.

[butler312]

I wouldn't say it is very heavy on the server, no. You will probably have some lag with that many people, but I'm sure it will be a lot better than ajax with that many people anyway. I used to have that and whenever we had tournaments and had 30+ people on it was terrible.

Hi Paul,

When I access the settings in the Admin Panel, I get this error:

Fatal error: Smarty error: the $compile_dir '/home/smiggy/public_html/forums/chat/inc/../temp/templates/templates_c' does not exist, or is not a directory. in /home/smiggy/public_html/forums/chat/inc/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1088

I upgraded from 4 to version 5 but the file smarty.class.php isn't existent in the new version.

[Jaxel]

How exactly do I install this with Flashchat 5.06? The installation instructions for this are all for 4.72+

I renamed this file to vbulletin36CMS.php, but when I go to my admin panel in flashchat, it wont let me log in.

I get this error when I try to login: "Fatal error: Call to a member function next() on a non-object in /home/eightway/public_html/flashchat/inc/cmses/statelessCMS.php on line 130"

[updated]

Got Flashchat 5.06 working with VBulletin 3.73.

It was a bit of a bumpy road, but it is working now. I pieced together some advice from other messages here.

Here's a summary of how I got it to work:

1. I moved the existing chat to an archive directory name (chat.old).

2. Get the new flashchat 5.06 unzipped and uploaded.

3. Upload the files from this integration module as directed.

4. Get rid of the existing vbulletin36CMS.php or rename it.

5. Rename the vbulletin37CMS.php to vbulletin36CMS.php

6. *IMPORTANT* Go into your mysql database, and delete all tables that start with flashchat. I didn't do this at first and got a black screen when I ran flashchat. This step is only needed if you had flashchat installed before.

7. Now go ahead and follow the normal installation. Be sure to select Vbulletin 3.6 as your choice.

8. Follow the post-install integration instructions as well. You don't have to worry about the CMS file part. We already took care of that in the steps above.

That's what it took for mine to get working. Good luck!

[Jaxel]

I made the following change to your original Flashchat Template:

This adds a link on the bottom left for full screen flashchat, as well as fixes the copyright symbol.

Hello,

I have a question. I have your mod installed witrh FlashChat 4.7 times on my VB3.7.3 board. When your inside the chat and you click on a username and go to Profile is that supposed to link to the vb profile page? Mine does nothing. Also when you PM a member inside the chat and their avatar pops up is that image sapposed to be linked to their vb profile as well?

I had upgraded my site from 3.6x to 3.7x. I figured maybe there was some config setting I needed to change to get the flashchat profile button under a user name to link to the vb users page???

Does that work or not work?

[tldagent]

I'm still having and ongoing problem that I had originally posted here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1489316&postcount=64).

I installed new flashchat 5.0.7 and everything worked fine until I reinstalled this hack. The chat is there but the box to type in is not there. I've installed this over and over and still can't seem to get it to work. I'm using vb 3.7.2 and flashchat 5.0.7. It's not a problem with Flashchat as I stated before, it was working and the chat entry box was available all the way up until I installed this integration hack. Anyone have any ideas as chat on our forum has been down for months.

If I take the old vbulletin36CMS.php file and upload it, then the problem is gone. But if I use the file within this hack, the chat box (where you type chat) doesn't show up at all.

Please assist!

[Ville]

In December 2006 ShanJ asked the following in the 3.6 integration thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1142605#post1142605):

[...] So I need to restrict access to at least some rooms to the students who are members of a class / usergroup.

I need to have at least three rooms (but would like more) where only certain members can go to each room. I have similar access to their own forums, via usergroup on vb, and access permissions were a major reason for choosing vb.

It would be great to config the flashchat integrate mod to carry over the same usergroups as I have on vb. That would be heaven! so a user with e.g. B usergroup can then be allocated access to their own B room, C usergroup can be given access to their own C room etc. [...]Is this still impossible/difficult to do? Are there any existing hacks to accomplish something like this? I have FlashChat 5.0.7 integrated and working with vB 3.7.3 using the Flashchat: Integration for vB 3.7 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=166834). On the board there is one usergroup that I would like to restrict to a single dedicated/private room (they're neither admins nor moderators). Other registered users (not member of that group) would have normal access to FlashChat, except perhaps they would be restricted from accessing the room that is dedicated for the user group that is restricted to the single, pre-defined room.

[Paul M]

There is no facility within Flashchat to restrict the rooms users can enter (in the manner you want).

[yotsume]

Paul,

After updating your mod the profile button on the user's drop down menu in FlashChat no longer works. How can I fix this? Also their avatar photo which comes up next to the private message window no longer links to their profile as well. Is there a code setting I have to change to get these two items to point to their VB profiles again?

I have a new international board for students and teachers all around the world to share from their classrooms together. I really would like to get the profile button to point back to the VB profile again.

THANKS!

PS: I would also like to talk with you about maybe getting your help to improve my FlashChat Combo mod fro vBa which shows who's in chat. Would be great to have the rooms clickable so you can directly enter the listed rooms from my mod. Also some kind of chat invitation system built into my vBa block.

Have you tried the new v3.7.006 of this hack yet?

[Yellow-06-GT]

I have installed flashchat and this integration hack. Everything seems to be working properly with the exception of the user group permissions. They seem to have no effect. All users are able to chat, even if I set the user group to "no chat access" or even if I set the group to "Banned from chat".

What am I doing wrong?

Have you installed the latest version, making sure the CMS files supplied with this are uploaded correctly. It would also help if you said what you mean by "no longer works".

Thanks for the reply.

Thank you, that was sort of it. I did upload them; however, I had the old and the new. Like this:

vbulletin36cms.php
vbulletin36CMS.php
vbulletin37cms.php
vbulletin37CMS.php

So, not sure which one it is using I recopied the files from your zip file to both the upper and lower case CMS files.

That took care of the problem. Is it using the upper case CMS files?

Thanks again.

[Paul M]

They should be uppercase, where did you get the lowercase versions ?

Solved! Thank you Paul for identifying the issue. Paul found that there were multiple permissions set for my admin and moderator usergroups and one was spy mode. In spy mode, a user cannot see the box to type in. So watch the spy mode thing because you cannot chat if your group is in spy mode you can only view.

Thanks again Paul for your assistance!

[Yellow-06-GT]

My FTP program (Total Commander) converted them to lowercase when it uploaded them.

OK, I've got this installed on my 3.7.3 board. However, every now and then, I get this error message:


Fatal error: Call to a member function next() on a non-object in <forum path>/chat/inc/cmses/vbulletin36CMS.php on line 39


Line 39:

Is something wacky going on with the session management? Is this a problem with Flashchat or the integration with 3.7?

I just refresh and the problem disappears and everything works. It happens when I'm modifying the Flashchat config as well.

I do not use flashchat5x because my vba mod for flashchat which uses some of your old code in the whochat.php file gets broken. I upgraded my vb site to 3.7.3 so I went ahead and updated this mod to this version you released here. However I use a 4x flashchat version. Did I make a big boo boo here?

Also, would you be willing to help me update my Flashchat Combo Mod so it will work with 5x? PRETTY PLEASE!

So without upgrading to Flashchat5x and using this version of your integration how can I get the profiles in the chat to link back to vb profile pages when you click on the avatar images or click on a user name in the chat?

I would guess you never copied the mods bitfield file over when you upgraded.

I'm new with all this vbulletin stuff... and the first step makes absolutely no sense to me:

Step 1. (if not already done)

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 3.7 option and continue the install.

What is a CMS page? Where do I install this?

[slinkyman]

Anyone know? Really want to get this on my site soon...

[Paul M]

Its simply the next page of the flashchat install process.

where is the install.php file? it's not in the files i'm downloading

FYI, Yes, Usergroup 8 is a banned group by default in all VB3.x versions I believe.

[wacnstac]

Does it work out of the box with FlashChat 5.0.X and vbulletin 3.7.3 yet?

[MoviePropCollec]

I have one simple question and this is not directed at Paul M specifically, it is a general observation.

This vBulletin.org forum has people who make mods/hacks for the feature lacking vBulletin with the features it should have.

Simple enough.

Why all the mystery on some easy steps on what to do to install the programs?

Seriously.

Just say, >go to. Admin Control Panel>Forums and Moderators> ...... etc, like that.

I have no idea how to integrate flashchat into my forum, stepswise.

I.E: Admin Control Panel>Add On... etc.

Simple and makes sense, but not everyone already knows how.

To tell someone go to another board or forum is strange.

Why all of the secrecy and getting mad, when someone asks for help on how to install a program, that I am sure many members spend countless hours creating?

I don't get it.

[yotsume]

Simple answer for you. Not everyone has the time or has a clue about "coding etiquette 101". So their instructions lack in many ways. When you train professionally you learn how to communicate clearly by marking up your code with clearly labeled tags and instructions. Many lack that kind of schooling.

Also, it is poor etiquette to hijack a coder/designer's thread like you have with a completely off topic post! Two wrongs never make a right! Either ask about the mod posted here for free or don't post at all! So please have respect for Paul M here and his work as well as all the other coder/designers and return to topic. :D

[Paul M]

Does it work out of the box with FlashChat 5.0.X and vbulletin 3.7.3 yet?
AFAIK, Tufat have still not added vBulletin 3.7 to the Flashchat 5 package, but they will be.

[DeanoUK]

I get the option on flashchat install to either use a stateless or registration option.
Obviously I want it to integrate with the forum users - if I chose the first, the user goes in as "_int_" if I chose the latter I have to register - what should I be doing?

Thanks.

[DeanoUK]

Oddly other users seem to have the correct nickname, just not me the main forum admin

[ATVTorture]

We're getting the "security token is missing" error when trying to view a user's details. When will a fix be out for this?

Thanks!

[Paul M]

When Tufat decide to fix the basic error - or I have time to check if my fix still works on FC 5.

[ATVTorture]

Yeah and I posted over at Tufat and their mods said I had to post here and that Darren had to fix it.

Do they not support their own software or what?

Thanks!

[Paul M]

The "fix" in this mod still seems to work fine.

[Skierpetros]

I buy tha flashchat FlashChat_v508 all me members can login normal as they say but i can't login to the flashchat i enter with my pass and nick and i see a blue screen not flashchat

if you want login details tell me to send them via pm...

[richards112]

I was just wondering, those who have FlashChat .
Does anybody know if there is a way to somehow allow users with X amount of posts to enter the chat?

For example someone needs 5 posts to enter chat.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

[Paul M]

You would have to use multiple usergroups and vb promotions based on post count.

[ATVTorture]

Pardon my ignorance but what is the "fix".

Thanks!
Buster

The "fix" in this mod still seems to work fine.

[richards112]

Ok right...

Could you please give me a more detailed answer

Like how will i make the promotions system work with your FlashChat addon?

Sorry, I cant, that is beyond the level of support I can provide with this mod.

[Chunky Monkey]

When my users login to flashchat they are all just hung in chat - full room but nobody can see anyone else. Also, there is a user with no username in there. Has anyone experienced anything similar after installing flashchat for vb 3.7.3 and this mod?

[LCN2007]

Can Someone please help me. ( Paul )
I know this isn't a support thread for flash chat bit you all seem to have it installed and working.

Have all sorts of problems.

One - I login and my nick is _int_
Two - the admin pages (another plugin) just show
This tool is designed to give FlashChat administrators multiple ways to view the chat logs, reset the chat logs, and add/edit/remove rooms. and the don't allow you to anything
Three - The "who's in flashchat now" (another plugin) doesn't show my nick, and show's the wrong nick for other people logged in.

[logicuk]

I have installed this.

In the flashchat integration section it says:

vBulletin: Please input your vBulletin license number in /inc/cmses/vbulletinCMS.php (for 3.0.3) or /inc/cmses/vbulletinCMS2.php (for 3.0.7) before running the installer.

I opened that file, and I am un-able to figure out where this information goes. Could someone please point me to where it is?

[Paul M]

Hmm, its a bug.

I didnt realise I was using a setting from the "Who Is Chatting" mod, so if thats not installed, it would trip up in the install code.

So.... (may have been covered already)... Is there a setting to allow chat to open in a new window still?

[yotsume]

Paul any chance on getting you to help soon with updating my vba mod now so I can have it support Flashchat 5x?

THANKS!

[Paul M]

So.... (may have been covered already)... Is there a setting to allow chat to open in a new window still?
There is no such setting in this mod.

[Andreas]

Paul, there seems to be a serious permissions Bug:

Usergroup A: User Level Access = Yes
Usergroup B: No Chat Access = Yes
Usergroup C: Banned From Chat = Yes

User foo is primary member of usergroup A, secondary member of usergroup B and has usergroup C as infraction group.

Expected Result
User foo is banned from chat

Actual Result
User has normal chat access

[Paul M]

This does not take any notice of infraction groups.

[Andreas]

I know. This bug is causing me a lot of trouble as the infraction system does not work as expected.

When will the fix become available?

[segwayon]

There is no such setting in this mod.

Originally Posted by mangus580

Paul,

With the previous 3.6 integration, we had placed a hyperlink to Chat on the navbar. It's URL spawns a blank IE browser window (and still does so with the 3.7 integration):

http://{forum_path)/chat/flashchat.php

With the new 3.7 integration, there's a Quick Link option for Chat which does embed into the forum with this URL:

http://(forum_path)/misc.php?do=flashchat&room=1

I wonder, though, how a user can then browse the forum and Chat at the same time?

[Paul M]

I know. This bug is causing me a lot of trouble as the infraction system does not work as expected.

When will the fix become available?
No one has ever asked about it before. I'll see if I can look at it this week. It may be worth reminding me by PM later in the week as my homelife is very hectic atm so Im likely to forget.

[Darkgardevoir]

no one can't login after i change language in general settings only the login box appears but when some one login nothing happens 5.0.7 any idea? it was working good but when i update general settings stops working

[abrecher]

:up:yer right lol


I forgot to change this in the config file

//your CMS system
'CMSsystem' => 'vbulletin37CMS',// default - default CMS, blank - stateless CMS

Note to self: check and double check afore moaning :D

In the latest FlashChat version you can no longer edit a config file, it's all stored in the DB. I can't seem for the life of me to get it set to 3.7!

[abrecher]

I'm running FC 5.0.8 . I've also installed your mod. No matter what I do it only shows me up to VB 3.6 in the config area. When I initially set up FC it goes all the way until 3.8 but doesn't seem to save my selection in the DB.

[abrecher]

Many members are complaining about security token issues when they look at their own or another members profile.

How do I delete the default rooms and set permissions for usergroups ?? I see you were asked this before and ignored it.

[abrecher]

Thanks Paul for your previous response. How do I fix this issue ?

[chrisbeau]

Im also having this security token issue, using the 4.7 version.

Uninstalling this, not worth the hassle.

[Paul M]

Thanks Paul for your previous response. How do I fix this issue ?

There is no fix, if this mod is installed correctly then that wont happen.

Make sure you have the latest CMS file uploaded, it should say the following ;

The only "hassle" is installing it correctly. Still, your choice, its not like I get paid for it. :)

[chrisbeau]

Again you ignored this.

Plus nothing hard about installing, upload a folder set directory premissions, run the setup which is really automatic, then add your product.

The chat works but nobody can join bar staff and this integration thing has no settings in usergroups or no chat menu like previous versions Ive used, are they somewhere else ???

Admin/SM/ Mods can join, no one else.

Token issue is to do with DST settings.

[Paul M]

I thought you just said you uninstalled it .......

Anyway ;

1. Deleting rooms is flashchat functionality, I dont support flashchat.

2. Permissions are set in the usergroup manager, just like any other U/G permissions, this has been "answered" more than once.

3. I dont see any connection between security tokens and DST settings.

[Poltergiest]

3. I dont see any connection between security tokens and DST settings.

He's probably using a custom style. He'll need to add the security token to it. I had to for 1 site that I help with.

Well you're right and wrong. Since I'm using Flashchat 5.0.8 there was no way to set it to use VB as the CMS in the config. As many times as saved it, it always reverted to the default cms. I went ahead and saved the config in Chrome and wohoo! It's all fixed now, thanks.

One thing I did notice, if I go to my own profile within Flashchat I still get that same error.

Does that make any sense to you ?

I was rejoicing a little too quickly. Looks like members are still having this issue. I dug a little deeper and found that the web based config was reporting that it was configured to use VB 3.6.

I went ahead and looked at the DB tables directly and noticed that it was still using the Flashchat CMS!

I then went ahead and uploaded the cnf_values.php file Paul had uploaded within the Flashchat forums, hoping that by using that file I'd be able to set the correct values.

No can do! Every time I try to change it t 3.7 I get a page not found error.

Paul, can you let me know what table and what row and exactly what to edit in the DB directly to update so Flashchat knows I'm using VB 3.7 please ?

[abrecher]

It's one thing after another with FlashChat. I guess it's true, you do get what you pay for! My server has been running very sluggish lately and my admin did quite a bit of digging. Guess what the culprit was ? You guessed it right, FlashChat. So me and FC are parting our ways. After 2 solid years of using and being abused by FC I've moved over to AddOnChat. It cost me around $15 per month for unlimited rooms and users + I don't have to host it. It's a total no brainer for me.

Paul, I know you are not FC and I appreciate the assistance you've attempted to offer.

Can anyone help me with my installation of flashchat, Iam not shure where to input my licence number of Vbulletin in "vbulletin37CMS.php" file, as Iam absolute noob to this ?
can someone just paste here that part of page for me?

I inputed my licence number here:

You do not need to edit vbulletin37CMS.php at all, no licence code is needed.

Remove your edits or just re-upload the original file.

[Paul M]

I gave in usergroup permissions the usergroup Unregistered / Not Logged In No Chat Access. when this usergroup try to access misc.php?do=flashchat it does not get a permission denied. is this just normal or how can I fix this?

your vbulletin37CMS.php is the only file in my cmses folder.

[goxy63]

In Vbulletin diagnostic ....
I got this:
"bitfield_fci_37.xml File not recognized as part of vBulletin"
Is that normal?
And just today I got some bugs on my flashchat, as if I change colour of fonts...all fonts are changed in colour I choosed even txt-colour of other members !?

Please advise

Thanks

I have everything installed just fine, I have the updated versions of the CMS, but I still get the security warning. Any thoughts?

[Paul M]

Nope, it works just fine if all installed correctly.

[Darkstarproject]

It's working as intended now.

I have found a recent issue, not sure if it's flashchats issue, or this plugin.

Basically what happens is admins and mods on my forum can enter the chat just fine, when one of my members from a custom group try's to enter, it asks for a username/password. It doesnt do this with the Admin/Mod users.

I have checked the Usergroup settings, and everything is set correctly.

[goxy63]

Just one more thing
Users who are bit longer chating in "flashchat" got logged out from my site but still of course shown in "who is on chat"...
Than I have discrepancy of users online, lats say it says I got 3 users online, but 5 of them on flashchat...

Any Ideas how to fix this without changing Vb settings for idle user ?

[Paul M]

I dont quite understand what you just said.

[goxy63]

Well...Users who are in chat-room bit longer, they got auto-logged out from site as Vb saw them as inactive users
But they are still shown as online users in "who is chating window"

Than I got difference of total users online, today I got 3 users online(by Vb who is online-forum statistics), but 8 of them were online in flashchat ("who is chatting" statistic window)

Is there any way to fix this without changing Session Timeout settings in Vbulletin ?

Sorry cuz my poor english, my englis comes from bunch of movies and music (lately net)
LOL

[Paul M]

No, there is no connection between who is online in vb and flashchat, they are seperate systems.

Can somebody please tell me where to add the "target='_blank'" code so that flashchat opens in a new window when the navbar link is clicked?

[Paul M]

Not really, the only thing I can think of is that you dont have the file /chat/temp/config.srv.php - in which case your flashchat install is broken (you did install it, not just upload the files ...)

[dillon]

I just noticed something strange. Prior to copying "chat\inc\cmses\vbulletin37CMS.php" ($Revision: 3.7 $ $ Date: 2008/10/24) from your download to the server, the chat was working fine. With this file, "chat/flashchat.php" loads, but the screen is then blank. If I copy back the original "vbulletin37CMS.php" file that comes with FlashChat v508 (Revision: 3.7.2.1), the chat works properly again.

However, this still does not fix my problem when importing the product.

Yes, I do have "Temp/config.srv.php", and all of the settings appear to be correct.

Thanks for your help.

[Paul M]

The version in this mod will only work if you have uploaded the bitfields file and then installed the product (you must do it that way round, otherwise you will need to manually rebuild the bitfields in the acp)

[dillon]

I am not quite understanding your solution...

I completely uninstalled FlashChat, then reinstalled it. Prior to actually running the FlashChat installer, I uploaded all of your files, then ran the installer. The install was successful, but I am still getting the same problem when using your files (it loads the FlashChat app, then just a blank page). I then tried to add the product, and it still does the exact same thing.

Also, I have the "forums" directory and the "chat" directory on the same level. For example:
www.domain.com/chat
www.domain.com/forums

I don't think this should have anything to do with the problem since I changed the path inside bulletin37CMS.php to $vbpath = '../forums/';

But could it be that the path to bitfield_fci_37.xml is being called incorrectly?

[mangus580]

Ok... I have been trying to find this, but havent had a bunch of luck. I want flashchat to open in its own window, not integrated into the site. When I try to use the normal url directly for chat, it throws an error (been using FC for 3 years now integrated into postnuke)

any pointers?

[Paul M]

Having the chat folder at the same level as the forum is not supported, and Im not sure it will work, even if you change that variable. The chat folder needs to be inside the forum folder.

[mangus580]

There is no such setting in this mod.

Man I gotta fix my auto subscribe



Why is there not a setting for this? Like another poster said... how can you browse the forum and be in chat at the same time. My users like to hang out in chat, and browse the forum. We tried it the way its set, and nobody really likes it.

You say that it would need to be edited in the code? Not a problem, just point me in the right direction.


Personally I think that in its current state, its a poor mod (dont take it personally)

[gwerzal]

Right i have a bit of a problem with flashchat

i can use it and so can my registered members and mods but........

Pro members cant use it. They are getting a message saying they are banned.

I have tried setting up a new usergroup but exactly the same thing is happening.

Anyone had this problem or know of a fix.

Thank you

I had the same problem, to fix it, do this.

FTP to your chat folder, and browse to /forum/chat/inc/cmses
delete the file named vbulletin36CMS.php file
look into the original chat folder that you downloaded, and browse to /inc/cmses and upload the file named vbulletin37CMS.php to the /forum/chat/inc/cmses folder, and rename it to vbulletin36CMS.php

Run the installer once again and since it will find your sql tables, just continue, and run through the installer with your settings.

Now go to the admin section of FlashChat, click on Configuration, browse down to the option that shows which CMS to use, and make sure you pick vbulletin3.6

Now go to your Usergroups and make sure the usergroups you want to have access, are set accordinly.

Give the above steps a try and it should work.

[dillon]

Having the chat folder at the same level as the forum is not supported, and Im not sure it will work, even if you change that variable. The chat folder needs to be inside the forum folder.

I know that this worked with one of your older hacks, and an earlier version of FlashChat. I moved the "chat" directory inside the "forums" directory, and reinstalled everything. It is all working properly now.

Thank you for your time and patience.

[Paul M]

It may have worked for FC 4 in the past, but Im pretty sure it wont for FC 5. I think I'll just remove that variable at some point, as it should always be installed inside the forum folder.

I am just answering this, as it is bound to come up more than once.

There are 2 ways (tested with FlashChat 5 only, NOT v4.7.x):

Method 1: (vBulletin v3.7.x currently installed)
Install this while your vBulletin is version 3.7.x, then upgrade vBulletin to v3.8.0 Beta x/Release Candidate x/Gold.

Method 2: (vBulletin v3.8.x currently installed)
Edit Flashchat-vb-integration.xml.

Find this line:
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.7.0" maxversion="3.7.99" />


Replace with this:
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.7.0" maxversion="3.8.99" />

Then import it when Paul's instructions say to do so.


Both of the above methods work for me, as I have tested both of them more than once.

[Paul M]

is there any solution regarding this posting (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1656633&postcount=385)?

There is not fix, Guests cannot use an integrated chat.

Paul - got this working on 3.8, I get this though when I click "profile" in FlashChat

Can someone tell me if this Mod and FlashChat is difficult to set up?

The Mod doesn't look that hard to install, but my main concern is with the FC software.

Also, does it run ok with VB 3.7.4?

Thanks ...

FC and this mod are easy to install! FlashChat has a built in installer which installs it for you. you just tick a box at the start, and choose vBulletin 3.7 and it will find your mySQL database automatically! Easy!

My test board is on 3.7.4 and it works fine :)

Hey jammiedodger546,

Thanks for that! It sounds like it can't get much simpler.

Guess I'm on my way to get FC, and set things up. ;)

[BillAlpha]

you must do it that way round, otherwise you will need to manually rebuild the bitfields in the acp
Oops... I started installing this then was interrupted - when I came back I imported the XML file before uploading the folder contents! :o

To fix this, how do I "manually rebuild the bitfields in the acp"?? Cheers :up:

[Paul M]

Re-importing the XML should do it I believe.

[Joey Link]

I had to uninstall FlashChat 4.7.12 today, much to the dismay of my users, because it was putting such a huge load on my server. I've looked at other solutions, but none of them compare. Can anyone who had this same problem comment on whether 5.0.8 has fixed or improved this problem? I know I'm not the only one who had to deal with this.

[Paul M]

Sorry, but this thread is for support of my integration, not Flashchat - please use their forums for such questions. Thanks.

[gamerfu]

The "Spy" mode, can guest or other non-forum users see the chatbox? :confused:

And "Spy" mode is invisible? can you disable "Spy" mode? :confused:

[mangus580]

The "Spy" mode, can guest or other non-forum users see the chatbox? :confused:

And "Spy" mode is invisible? can you disable "Spy" mode? :confused:

Spy mode allows that user to login as a 'spy'. You will be able to see whats being said, but not type anything, and other users will not know you are there.

hi Paul i've a trouble with your CMS when i try to install the chat i've got this

Fatal error: Call to a member function next() on a non-object in /home/****/****/****t/public_html/***/chat/inc/cmses/vbulletin38CMS.php on line 44

so the installation skip the step 3 of the installation ... how i can fix this? thanks

(i've also posted into FC board)

[Twisted Shifter]

I am at a loss, I have two issues I would like to address but the first one is the most important.
Chat worked prior to integration. Now however not so good. When you log in, you can not see yourself as being in the room, however others can see you. Nothing that's typed shows in the chat box, but you can send private messages to each other and they work.

Once I get this resolved I will ask my other question.

I wiped everything out and started from scratch to include a fresh install of chat. It works, other than auto log in until I do the integration, then when you click the link created, it logs you into the room and I have the same issue. I even did a new DL of the intergration files so that everything is clean.

[pacobob]

Awesome, an early x-mas for me! Thanx man!

[Twisted Shifter]

Paul,
Quick update.

I seem to have everything working w/o using your "hack". I used the integration that comes with FlashChat and placed the button in my header manually. I would still like to figure out why it will not show anything in chat once your hack is installed. If you need anything from me please let me know.

Thanks

I got the same error. But I got it installed and it's working fine

What you need to do: remove 11 tables that FC created in your database. Redo the install from scratch, when you get the error at step 3 like this
Fatal error: Call to a member function next() on a non-object in /home/****/****/****t/public_html/***/chat/inc/cmses/vbulletin38CMS.php on line 44

just click your mouse on the end of the url (step=3 or something like that) on the address bar and hit Enter to keep going, it will work just fine.


I know it's weird but it seems to work fine for me, so I'll just share my experience :D

[NemoTech]

I installed this hack.. but not sure how to take advantage of it's features.. for example...
* Flashchat can be displayed embedded inside a 'standard' vBulletin Page (i.e. not full screen).

^--- how do I do this?

[NemoTech]

Spy mode allows that user to login as a 'spy'. You will be able to see whats being said, but not type anything, and other users will not know you are there.

K I set one of my usergroups to login as spy-mode.. how do they do it? Cuz when they login we can still see them. Is there a particular command?

FlashChat Permissions
No Chat Access


I noticed my flashchat permissions don't work correctly. Are they being overridden by another setting somewhere else?

[tjhanes]

When i try to add in the product manager, once i add the XML file and click continue, the screen stays stuck on "Setting CMS value" and its corresponding yellow progress bar, that keeps extending to the left.

I have tried to reinstall several times, and still same result. Any help? Thanx.

This suggests your flashchat is not fully installed correctly.

I installed this MOD, and Flash Chat not working any more (FC admin panell too...give me this error: Fatal error: Call to a member function next() on a non-object in /home/pijanitv/public_html/forum/chat/inc/cmses/statelessCMS.php on line 130)

When I try to open FC, it load and then freeze, just blue template of FC on screen.

I have FC v5.09 and vBulletin v3.7.4 PL1

What to do now?
Should I reinstall FC? If yes, should I first uninstall this MOD?

[Paul M]

Your Flashchat is not configured to integrate with vb - hence the use of stateless.php in the message.

[Sunka]

But everything working OK with flashchat (flash was integrated with vB) before I installed this MOD.
I have to uninstall MOD and chat, and then reinstall chat.

[Paul M]

But everything working OK with flashchat (flash was integrated with vB) before I installed this MOD.
Installing this cannot alter whether you are actually integrated, since that is controlled by the flashchat config file.

[Sunka]

And what to do now?
Reinstall again FC and then try to install again this MOD?

[MarkJW]

And what to do now?
Reinstall again FC and then try to install again this MOD?
Reinstall FC and on the very first step, check the box saying you want to integrate FC with a CMS. Then select your version of vB on the next page and continue with the installation. Then install this mod/hack.

[Sunka]

I allready did that way.

i got just 1 question for right now .. i have a black style/ temp. and i got the hows in chat added to my fourm and it has always worked and looked good till i added the new style. is there a way to make all the lettering white? i did fig, out how to make some of the words white but none of the members names are white

[Paul M]

I noticed that drop downs on the navbar go behind the chat screen when you click to pull them down.

An example of a drop down is "Quick Links".


To fix this long standing issue you need to edit a Flashchat file.

Edit flashchat_inc.php (in the chat folder).

Find ;
so.write("flashchatcontent");


Add above it ;
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");


The menus should no longer hide behind Flashchat.

[butler312]

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

How do I do this?

Also, one other problem. None of the drop down links work (such as status, selecting theme in options, choosing a room). No drop down box appears or anything.

[Paul M]

1. By using the links provided by the mod.

2. I cannot help you with Flashchat issues, you need to get support from their forum.

[butler312]

That doesn't help me any. If I knew where these links where I wouldn't be asking

* The WOL will correctly display Flashchat as the location (not 'Unknown Location')

Hi Paul
Thanks for the reply, i have read the main post and installed as instructed, however the WOL does not show users being in the chat room, it only shows there last location on Vbulletin?

I had to change the XML product /chat to /flashchat include. Will this be any problem in the future? Are there any other pointers to the /chat folder around?

[AdmiralSpock]

I installed this and the ACP integration, and the chat was working fine for a few hours... but now I seem to have a problem... I am getting this error when trying to log into the flashchat admin cp:

Fatal error: Call to a member function next() on a non-object in /home/one/public_html/community/chat/inc/cmses/statelessCMS.php on line 130

The chat on the front-end also is not working. It says it has something to do with stateless CMS, and I do remember that right after integrating it stated that it was using a stateless CMS. That struck me as odd as it would be using the vB user database for authentication. Could this error be something I did, and do you have any ideas on how I can fix this... or should I be approaching Tufat.com about this? Thanks :)

[butler312]

Read the main post, the information is all there.

Still not seeing any instructions on how to put the chat within a vbulletin page (such as in the portal). I see this:

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

but that doesn't make any sense to me. I don't want to link to the chat, I want the chat in the page.

[Saviour]

Can someone please explain to me the following:

1. No Chat Access
2. Banned From Chat

I know what they mean, but their placement within the user group permissions confuses me.

If #1 above, is set to No, then this user group can see the chat? Is this correct? This is what confuses me...I'm not quite sure of how to set this...I only want registered users to be able to see the chat and login...so, maybe I need a little deeper explanation of these two settings, so as not to screw up anyone's permission to use the chat.

I know that my question may sound a little stupid...but I just want to make sure I'm clear on what these two settings do within this modification.

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by "see the chat" ?

[thunderclap82]

How can I move the FlashChat navbar item to be listed under Community instead? (I know this is for v3.8 of vB but I thought you might be able to recommend the setting.)

[Paul M]

You can't without editing the code. If 3.8 continues to use the community links (as seems likely) I will look at moving it to there in the 3.8 release (dunno if their is a template hook atm, not looked).

[Treasure Quest]

Hi Paul,
After my server move I received some kind of error trying to access chat. I then downloaded chat 5.0.10. I'm running VB 3.8
When I try to install chat I get : Fatal error: Call to a member function next() on a non-object in /home/treasure/public_html/community/chat/inc/cmses/vbulletin37CMS.php on line 37

I did make your reccommended edits and uploaded the CMS files you added at the flashchat forum but I can't seem to get past the above error on the install.
I've searched for answers so if there is a solution I've missed it.

[Paul M]

There is no answer because try as I might, I am unable to replicate that error. I cannot investigate something if I cannot reproduce it. :)

[Saviour]

Treasure Quest...

I believe the problem you are experiencing is being caused by you using FlashChat version 5.0.10. That version is not the latest stable release. Try using 4.7.12. That's the latest stable release before version 5.

Hi
I got this mod installed as well some others for flashchat, all of them are working just fine

1.
I got some questions regarding to idle users on my Vb board, the thing is that if user stays in flashchat bit longer than board idle time he got logged off, but he is still using flashchat

In who is on chat modification he is there, on Vb-who is online he is shown off so I got discrepancy here
Once I got 10 users on chat and just 2 online on Vbulletin forums :D

Not a big deal but it kinda bugs me, any pointers to this Paul ?

I posted on Tufats forum, they kinda pointed at you regarding to this... :D
http://forum.tufat.com/showthread.php?p=222777#post222777

2.
Is there any chance that we can use in some way tufats flashchat as messanger
Lets say one user sends invitation to other user (they are online), if another user accept invitation at some point they both got automatically are transfered to flashchat where private message window opens.....

I would be willing to donate, as meny others I think
If this is possible, but its kinda too much work, maybe we can open one thread and who is interested to donate he will got modification.....just and idea !?

Thanks for your time

Hi Paul,

You can't without editing the code. If 3.8 continues to use the community links (as seems likely) I will look at moving it to there in the 3.8 release (dunno if their is a template hook atm, not looked).

is there a Date, if the Addon is ready for 3.8?
I mean, a FC 5 Addon with 3.8 cms file?

[Paul M]

There is currently no template hook in the community menu, I have posted a request for one, no idea if it will happen though. :)

[nogerorob]

Howdy.

I'm looking at doing a Flashchat integration with vBulletin. I run a band fan website, and my forum members want to be able to chat as they watch the setlist develop online during live performances.

I'd like to set it up so that Flashchat is turned on and off on a pre-determined set schedule. Is there a reasonably easy way to do something like this? If not, would it be the type of thing I would want to try and hire a hack for?

[Smitty]

Treasure Quest...

I believe the problem you are experiencing is being caused by you using FlashChat version 5.0.10. That version is not the latest stable release. Try using 4.7.12. That's the latest stable release before version 5.My suggestion also. 5.0.10 is really, really buggy.

Quote from Tufat forum moderator
So from your links I see you have dumped all the files and folders into your web root. You may need to contact Paul M on this being in the vbulletin37CMS.php file there is a place to edit the path but not sure how it works:

// Path to vbulletin root folder - with trailing '/'
$vbpath = ''; // Leave blank unless you wish to override the default.

Where will I edit can u show me on vbulletin37CMS cause I cant install chat I cant go step 3 while install chat

[webgeek247]

Hi Paul M

I installed a fresh copy of flashchat 5 and installed a fresh copy of your flashchat 5 vbulletin plugin. Now i can login to flashchat using vbulletin login just fine. But the only problem i get is that when i login to forum and goto chat room i have to login chat room too

When i was using the flashchat 4 setup i didn't get that problem

I tried setting the vb path to

// Path override for vbulletin root folder //
$vbpath = '/home7/username/public_html/forums/'; // This should not normally be changed. //

And chat room loads fine but still i have to login separately

Any idea whats wrong?

on mytalkcarolina.com, users are still able to go into the chat but when clicking on another user and highlight profile, it loads and says security token is missing, Im unable to find out where this problem, if anyone is using flashchat, could anyone assist me? maybe you added something to your template or maybe my entire template is out of date.

Apparently I dont know what the main problem is, either i try to find it or i should reinstall my entire forum and start over from scratch which I dont want to do, I already put in to much work to it, could anyone help me with this if possible? if you want to look at the problem

mytalkcarolina.com, register and go into the chat and click on your username, profile and then it leads off to a missing security token, that includes the user space for xboxlive gamertag, I dont know what to do, last thing im wanting to do is restart.. but thats way to much..

Ok what to do do then?

Edit:

How do i uninstall the flashchat 5 integration and just use flashchat 4 instead?

[Paul M]

You just delete FC5 and install FC4

[webgeek247]

and remove flashchat 5 tables out of the vbulletin database

i cant even get flashchat 4 vb integration to work now either. what a joke. i bought flashchat because it had vbulletin integration grrr

the only way the auto login works now is if you goto

http://www.domain.com/forums/chat/ and then click on the login button to the right of the text "Start FlashChat using built-in login"

before you could goto the full url http://www.domain.com/forums/chat/flashchat.php and would be logged in automatically but now you just get "Please login to chat"

so basically it looks to me like the coding has been changed so members of your vbulletin forum are forced to see all the info at the start page just so tufat.com get more customers lol *shakes fist

Integration works fine in both FC4 and FC5, so you must be doing something wrong.

[webgeek247]

heh, yes it works but not like before where i could use iframe wrapper

before i could load up page like http://www.domain.com/chat and the chat room would load up inside the page i did this by using the link http://www.domain.com/forums/chat/flashchat.php for the iframe wrapper

but now i cant use http://www.domain.com/forums/chat/flashchat.php well i can but if i do the autologin doesn't work

i can use http://www.domain.com/forums/misc.php?do=flashchat&room=1 and the auto login works but the chat room doesn't display in page properly now. makes no different if i change the width/height of the iframe wrapper either

with the new updated chat everytime i load http://www.domain.com/chat it shows the website header etc etc

the old version worked fine with iframe wrapper

Dont really know what you mean by the "old version", FC4 hasnt changed for almost a year, if not longer.
