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):

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

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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

This is a bug in the current release of Flashchat 5.0.8

Please try 3.7.009.

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

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

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

Uninstalling this, not worth the hassle.

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1622663 will fix the DST problem, has nothing to do with Paul's product.

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 ?

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.

I got this error (not yet installed anything, this was at start of...)
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting '&' or T_VARIABLE in /home/goxy63/public_html/forums/chat/inc/cmses/vbulletin37CMS.php on line 28

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:
class vBulletinCMS
{
// Initialise CMS
function vBulletinCMS(###I PASTE THAT NUBER HERE###)
{
and I got ths error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting '&' or T_VARIABLE in /home/goxy63/public_html/forums/chat/inc/cmses/vbulletin37CMS.php on line 28

Please help
Thanks

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.

Its not quite as simple as that, but I take it you no longer need to know anyway. :)

Thanks

Hack is just awesome
Thanks a lot Paul
:D

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.

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

Yes, thats normal, modification files are not part of standard vb.


Sorry, Im not Flashchat support, please read the main post for a link to their forums.

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

Nope, it works just fine if all installed correctly.

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.

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 ?

I dont quite understand what you just said.

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

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? I have looked everywhere but can't seem to find where the link resides so I can add this. It doesn't appear to reside in the navbar template where I expected it to... thanks!

You would need to edit the plugin code (FlashChat Integration (6))

I am getting the same error that Diviniti got a few weeks ago. I couldn't find a reply to his problem, so I'm posting it again.

When I import the product, it shows:

Importing Product, Please Wait...
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Setting CMS value

The progress bar just keeps expanding, but never finishes...

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Okay, I have a problem. I installed the FlashChat script, I uploaded the fc5 to my server and I did everything right. But when I want to go to the chat through my forum, I only see the blue page from the FlashChat script. If I go to my other link from the chat, it displays everything.

What am I doing wrong?

Nope, the problem you refer to was replied to at the time (and fixed in 3.7.008)

No idea, what "other link" are you referring to ?
