Flashchat: Integration for vB 3.7

[webgeek247]

I meant FC5

[webgeek247]

its doing the same with fc4 too grrr

[webgeek247]

ok all it is is the header/footer sections showing thats messing the page up. because im using subdreamer iframe wrapper and have the chat loading up from http://www.domain.com/chat i dont need the header/footer from flashchat to come through because the subdreamer page already has them. so how do i stop the flashchat header/footer showing up? all i need is just the chat window to show up only

the iframe wrapper url im using is

http://www.domain.com/forums/misc.php?do=flashchat&room=1

like i said already though when i first installed flashchat with vb integration i didnt get the header/footer showing up from the url

Hi, Paul...

I recently tried an instal of FlashChat 5.0.10, however...it was way too buggy. I currently have FlashChat 4.7.12 installed in my forum's root directory...and I'm looking forward to your latest release of this mod. Hopefully, it'll be compatible with my version of FlashChat. 4.7.12 is the most current stable version...and I'm running a 3.8 vb board. The install for FlashChat didn't have a CMS for 3.8, so I used the CMS for 3.7...hopefully, this won't cause any issues.

Keep us posted...

Fatal error: Call to a member function next() on a non-object in /home/***/public_html/forum/chat/inc/cmses/vbulletin37CMS.php on line 37

I followed the instruction and did the following and receive this error in "install.php?step=3". Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.

- I have replaced the default vbulletin37CMS.php to the integration addon version.
- The install.php shows that it was able to extract database information

Apache version 2.2.9 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.6

hook online_location_process:
Code:


PHP Code:
switch ($filename)
{
case 'mypage.php':
$userinfo['activity'] = 'mypage';
break;
// add more cases here if you have more than one custom page. no need for multiple plugins. one plugin can handle all.
}

hook online_location_unknown
Code:


PHP Code:
switch ($userinfo['activity'])
{
case 'mypage':
$userinfo['where'] = '<a href="mypage.php?'.$vbulletin->session->vars[sessionurl].'">My Page</a>';
$userinfo['action'] = "Viewing My Page";
$handled = true;
break;
// add more cases here if you have more than one custom page. no need for multiple plugins. one plugin can handle all.
}

I have been given this code to ammend and this should allow me to see who is using the chat room from VB WOL list. What values do i have to change the make it work, i know it may be a stupid question but i have only just started on the VB and flash chat integration path. Thanks in advance

hello, sorry to trouble you all, but the above post was put on a little while ago and we have had no joy yet, it still will not show members in the chat room, i think "paul m" was going to look if he had the chance, but its so annoying, and we are very new to all this, its proberbly something very simple for all you guys but not for us!! so please can someone help???

[Paul M]

Paul M is me :)

I never got time to look, I will when I can.

I think you might have a problem with the "getPhoto" function on 3.8.1. I am using a custom avatar and know the image file is not being created per the funtion in vbulletin38cms.php so I get an error or group of errors in my php error log. This is on a system that was upgraded to 3.8.1.1 not sure its broken on a clean 3.8.1.1 install yet, I have not checked it BUT I do know that upgrades do not respond the same way as clean installs now, for sure.

Any ideas why the image would not be created by the getPhoto function?

[Paul M]

Since you havent said what the errors are, i cant tell you anything, but i assume you read this comment in the file ;

// This function only works if you use the database storage method in vbulletin //

[vbplusme]

Hi Paul,

Actually, I did read that and am in compliance but I have been doing some more testing and discovered possibly a path problem in the vbulletin38cms.php. The errors ( I forgot where I was bouncing back and forth between here and Tufat).

I have Flashchat 5.0.10 running with vBulletin 3.8.1.1. When I checked my error log, I find it full of these messages:

[16-Mar-2009 20:06:46] PHP Warning: fopen(./images/cust_img/$000001$1221367575.gif) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\htdocs\chat\inc\cmses\vbulletin38CMS.php on line 227

[16-Mar-2009 20:06:46] PHP Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\wamp\htdocs\chat\inc\cmses\vbulletin38CMS.php on line 228

[16-Mar-2009 20:06:46] PHP Warning: fflush(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\wamp\htdocs\chat\inc\cmses\vbulletin38CMS.php on line 229

[16-Mar-2009 20:06:46] PHP Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\wamp\htdocs\chat\inc\cmses\vbulletin38CMS.php on line 230




As a test I added the full path to the image folder to this line:

$fpath = './images/cust_img/'.$fname.'.'.$fextn;

It didn't create the temp image but the error went away and now I can not reproduce but the avatar doesn't display either?

[Paul M]

If no image is created then it cannot be displayed.

[vbplusme]

I understand. I suspected that it was not finding the directory was the reason but when I put the full path in, it still didn't create the image but it didn't generate any errors either? So what do you suspect is going on here? As you can see from the error message, the avatar image is definitely in the database and displays correctly in vbulletin the way it should?

I am not clear now whether the problem is vbulletin or flashchat but it showed up with 3.8.1.

If the avatar is not in the database, you get an array_merge error about not being an array which I think is a PHP5 problem.

Sure would be nice if I could sort this out, Tufat has pretty much bounced the ball over here but I am not clear that is right place but the problems seem to show up in your code?

Any help greatly appreciated at this point.

thank for your attention, Michael

I'm having an error where the users stay logged into flashchat. I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem and could provide assistance. It seems that my time file isn't getting updated (http://forum.tufat.com/showthread.php?t=10284&page=2&highlight=users+staying+logged+into+chat). However, I've tried reinstalling and the fixes mentioned in that thread. The users don't show up in "Who is chatting" but do show up once in the room.

Thanks for any help.

Installed, Thanks

Hello Paul,

Used this for FC4 and worked great!
Now trying:
VB 3.7
FC 5

I uninstalled FC dropped the sql flashchat_
Disabled integration

Installed FC5
Used your cmms to get rid of header error
installed your newest integation

all is well...except.

I go to FC and it prompts me user name. I check to user groups and it is all good.

any ideas what i missed?

RickyG

[RickyG]

Interesting, did reinstall and selected VB3.6 and it works now....i am running 3.7

[sixxkilur]

I was able to modify the 2 scripts and install these addons on vBulletin 3.8.4 Patch Level 2 Flashchat 5.0.10 works somewhat just can't contol the admin it ask to login and doesn't accept any logins it gives the red error Could not grant admin role for this login and password.

[zeus_r6]

I know I'm missing something here, but how do you get this to display inline on the forum home rather than linking it to it's own window?

[dethfire]

any update for flashchat 6?

[mangus580]

dethfire - I was running flashchat 6 with this. It had too many issues for me so I reverted to 4.7, and have now abandoned it all together. I found that with the # of users I run in chat now, the server couldnt handle it, and the flashchat socket server feature does not appear to work.
