Instant Messenger - Chat - Site Pager Fully Integrated

[garyro]

see ya all

[nexialys]

this forum is for RELEASES, not for testing... also, you talk about a price... if your tool is paid, you can't advertise here.

[garyro]

what a petty site

[nexialys]

it's not a petty thing... i'm even against that rule myself, but the vBulletin owners are against advertising for paid products...

even if your integration is free, you advertise for something we need to pay for... that's what my comment was refering to... if you don't like comments like this, just don't post, because here we want to keep this rule respected, that's all.

and my comment about the BETA thing is that when you create a thread about a new release, the rule is to provide that code with the thread, not ask for comments... you have the "General Modification Discussion" Forum for that purpose...

... the more we have rules to follow, the more complicated is the life on a community... but once you folow these rules, you see that everything have a place and everything is clear when it's done right!

This sounds pretty good, since flash usually runs alot more smoother than java on most people's computers. A nice addition to this would be, when you click on one of the user's in the userlist of the chat that viewing their profile would be an option

[Natch]

Excelletn design and great integration: please visit bearfacts2.com, register and IM Boofo if you want a place to release this.

Thanks - I'd love to get hold of this.

[???`S?LV?R???`]

i was talking about modding it

[bluecat]

Hi. I am interested, please pm me on the details. Thank you.

[???`S?LV?R???`]

PM me about it also :D

[???`S?LV?R???`]

Here's what I mean...
Adding an option to the popup menu (View Profiles)...
But so far i'd definitly be more interested in this because flash runs alot smoother on most people's computer's than java anyways, plus this looks better than any java chat that's intergrated in vb...
Even if that can't be done without the source fla file, I'm still real curious about the intergration :)

The integration needs fixing from the default what you can download, but I resolved it recently...

It's a small file edit to one of your flashchat files: the integration is already done by the suthor of the script, but it kinda breaks if you have a cookie prfix...

Open up yopur FlashChat/inc/cmses/vbulletinCMS.php file and replace your stock function vBulletinCMS() function with this one below: function vBulletinCMS() {
global $cookieprefix;
$this->loginStmt = new Statement("SELECT userid AS id, password, salt FROM {$GLOBALS['fc_config']['db']['pref']}user WHERE username=?");
$this->getUserStmt = new Statement("SELECT userid AS id, username AS login, usergroupid FROM {$GLOBALS['fc_config']['db']['pref']}user WHERE userid=?");
$this->getUsersStmt = new Statement("SELECT userid AS id, username AS login, usergroupid FROM {$GLOBALS['fc_config']['db']['pref']}user");

$this->userid = isset($_COOKIE[$cookieprefix . 'userid'])?$_COOKIE[$cookieprefix . 'userid']:null;
//$this->userid = isset($_COOKIE[$cookieprefix = 'bb' . 'userid'])?$_COOKIE[$cookieprefix = 'bb' . 'userid']:null;
} With this fix, the package with the vbulletin intagration set up properly nmeans your users dont have to login to your forum and your FlashChat - just logging into the forum means they can just launch the chat and are logged in...

Looks very nice. Good luck with the testing.

[???`S?LV?R???`]

Natch.... Mind turning this into a module for vbadvanced cmps? (it'd be awesome)

[Natch]

The chat into a module ?

You mean a full-page module ... I get ya.

Could be done - and it's a good idea ;) I'll work on it ;)

[Natch]

OK - here's a quick job of it - you should play around with the height sizing of the iframe and the table cell to match your forum style.

Create a new template adv_portal_flashchat

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<strong><span class="smallfont">$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] $vboptions[bbtitle] ChatRooms</strong></span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%" height="600">
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
<div align="center"><iframe src="$vboptions[bburl]/FlashChat/flashchat.php" width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>Then make a new CMPS page with Title FlashChat, Identifier chat and Template adv_portal_flashchat - then set it up however you like and link to it with $vboptions[homeurl]/?page=chat

This has been deliberately not made collapsible cos if you collapse the FlashChat module it will log you out ;)

@nexialys: As it is demonstrated in this thread, such posts and replies to hack authors can cause hard feelings and discourage the hack authors to share their other hacks with the community.

If you believe a thread or hack is against rules, please use "REPORT" button and allow staff to do the moderating.

I understand that you are not happy with a site rule we have, but your attempts to demonstrate your opposition to it in other's threads is making more harm than good. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

[Natch]

Additional: to make your vBulletin menus drop-down over the top of your FlashChat window, use this modification to your inc/flashChatTag.php file:

Find: $tag .= "<EMBED src=\"$movie\" FlashVars=\"$fv\" menu=\"false\" quality=\"high\" scale=\"noscale\" salign=\"LT\" WIDTH=\"$width\" HEIGHT=\"$height\" NAME=\"$id\" ALIGN=\"\" TYPE=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" PLUGINSPAGE=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" BASE=\"$base\"></EMBED>";
Replace with: $tag .= "<PARAM NAME=\"wmode\" VALUE=\"transparent\" />";
$tag .= "<EMBED src=\"$movie\" FlashVars=\"$fv\" menu=\"false\" quality=\"high\" scale=\"noscale\" salign=\"LT\" WIDTH=\"$width\" HEIGHT=\"$height\" NAME=\"$id\" ALIGN=\"\" TYPE=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" PLUGINSPAGE=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" BASE=\"$base\" wmode=\"transparent\"></EMBED>";

nice job on the vbadvanced cmps module, btw can you post the flashchat intergration? since the guy that started this thread never posted it.

natch, this is simply awesome and works like a charm!

[yinyang]

natch, is there any way you could write something that would show who's in chat live?

-yinyang

PS - that template is simply awesome.

[???`S?LV?R???`]

I can setup something for that :)

[yinyang]

This has been deliberately not made collapsible cos if you collapse the FlashChat module it will log you out ;)

natch - for some reason in my forum, if i collapse the module (i made mine collapsible), it doesn't log me out. weird, but i'll take it! however, the chat conflicts with my shoutbox because everytime the page refreshes, it reloads the chatbox anew.

anyhow, here's my question for you. most code is written so a module starts out open. what's the code to start a module out closed?

-yinyang

[yinyang]

I can setup something for that :)

that would be awesome! right now, i know you can click on info.chat to see who's in it, but my users are sooooooo lazy. also, if they can see who's in chat automatically, the room would get used way more.

-yinyang

[Natch]

That is the point of this thread - that's why we're waiting for it to be released.

[Logician]

Due to our recent rule change (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?threadid=69807), this hack CAN be released in vb.org release forums. So if garyro likes to release it and put the instructions as an attachment into the thread, I can move the thread back to releases section. Or if he prefers better, he can create a new thread.

[???`S?LV?R???`]

awesome :)

[yinyang]

that would be awesome! right now, i know you can click on info.chat to see who's in it, but my users are sooooooo lazy. also, if they can see who's in chat automatically, the room would get used way more.

-yinyang

any luck with this?

[???`S?LV?R???`]

well I've been testing a few things with converting info.php into a template for add-on page on vbadvanced cmps and i'm still running into a few problems... I'll update ya if I get it working right. ( lol and of course Natch or anyone else is welcome to help with this) btw thanks for the help with that page addon Natch.

[T3MEDIA]

This is VERY old but anyone has any idea on making flashchat a pager system?

you know if I click on your name and want to page you it loads flashchat and brings you into a private room with the other person.
