My members are having problems getting in. I have alot of different usersgroups what can I do?

Edit the CMS file to give your usergroups access.

I really don't know why that I got this error:
Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/vietshar/public_html/chat/flashchat.php on line 15

Any helps? Thank you!

I have a couple questions before I take the plunged and install this.

#1. Do I have to install the pre 4.4.0 versions before I install 4.4.1+ ?

#2. Since it looks like everyone is creating their hacks as plugins now can we get a list of what the plugins install and any tables they may add to the database.

#3. Is this hack uninstallable? It would also be nice if it was mentioned in the decription if there was an uninstall feature.

Thank You

1. No.

2. Not unless someone supplies one. This adds no tables.

3. Any vb product is uninstallable, thats a standard part of vb.

Hello,

I have everything installed, but I am , well, completely confused by all of the conflicting directions. Is there a single install/readme somewhere for flashchat 5 + vb3.5.1? I got the chat v5 + vb plugin from their site. If I do that, do I still need any of the files from the plugin here at vbulletin.org? Should I be substituting some of these files and directoins for theirs? Where does the CMS file go? Earlier in this thread it sad inc/cmses which didn't exist until I created the path.... maybe the main forums folder like the chat? I seem to have most of this worked out on my own, but when I click the chat it comes up but gets stcuk on loading skins with no errors in my apache log file. (WNYPoker.com -> Navbar -> Chat)

Flashchat 5 ?

If there is a new version 5 then I know nothing about it atm, I wasn't aware a new version had been released.

This certainly hasn't been tested with it, so I cannot answer your questions.

Does anyone here have the version 4 download available?
Only version 5 is available from their web site.
I'd rather go with what works than latest and greatest.

-Raymond

Um, the latest version on the website is 4.4.2 , where are you looking ??

In fact, given some of your other comments, are you sure you are looking at the right product ?

123flashchat.com ?

-Raymond

Nope.

Thanks! I'll give that chat a try :)

-Raymond

That was painless enough. I have the correct flashchat installed now, along with the who is chatting. The automatic login to the chat and everything seems OK. One question, I don't seem to have any section for the main flashchat settings in my AdminCP. I do see the who's online options under forum home page options. (Yes, I installed both XML's) Is there a main section that is supposed to be in the left navbar? Just checking before I make any more changes. Thanks!

-Raymond

There are no ACP settings for flashchat, all it's main settings are in it's config.php file. It does have it's own very limited admin function as well.

Am getting this error :(

Fatal error: Class 'Statement' not found in H:\localhost\xampp\xampp\htdocs\Vbulletin\FlashCha t\vbulletin35CMS.php on line 19

Please help me..

Try re-uploading the file, it sounds like it's corrupted.

i don't know if this question has been answered yet.. i haven't had much time to look over the whole thread. i only want registered user to access the chat. how can i deny those who have not completed their registrations ( usergroup id3 is "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation") I have people creating usernames for the purpose of the chat room and not completing their registrations.. thanks

The default installation does this anyway.

Paul, have you ever looked into vb integration with the socket server? I was thinking I might dig in and see if it is doable, but didn't want to duplicate effort.

I'm thinking it might take some code hacks to the flash client to get the session cookie and send it to the socket server... unless there's a way to get the client as it is now to take some value from the initial http hit when it gets the socket server config info and pass that to the socket server..

Yes, I actually have a working beta on my test forum.

for whatever reason i cant get it to run correctly...anyone willing to install this for me?

please pm me

thanks in advance

Where can I find flash chat for vb3.51? I don't have any versions installed yet. I need the fresh install. Thanks!

Hi Paul,

i want allow guests to chat. My Chatversionn is 4.2.2 - vBulletin 3.5.1.

And i've made the changes in vbulletin35CMS.php. Usergroup 1 is guests (not registered).

My changes:

But it won't work. Guests can't enter the chat. Are there any changes to make in the sendLoginInfo.php ?

Thx.

bye
Harry :squareeyed:

Guests will never be able to enter. The nature of vB integration means that only registered members can enter. It would need some big changes to the integration to change this (or you could have guests using members names etc).

Ok Paul - thx for the fast answer.

doesn't work..

flashchat version 4.4.2
vb 3.5.1

moderators aren't recognized.. the chat work fine but moderators are recognized like normal users..

my forum is installed in

www.dfsoduigbs.com/forum

and the chat in

www.idfsdbsfoi.com/forum/chat

i've edited and putted the cms file in the path

www.dsobgfsiubgs.com/forum

with this string ---> $vbpath = realpath(dirname(__FILE__));
require_once $vbpath . '/includes/config.php';


but doesn't work.. any idea?


tnx for support

Are those urls made up ? they don't work.

As for support, you are not showing as having this installed yet (click the install link).

:)

no the real link is www.gameskeepers.com -_-

Hmm, reading your post again ;

1. You don't need to edit the path in the CMS file - restore that back to the default or it won't work.

2. I think you have put the CMS file in the wrong place, it goes in ../forums/chat/inc/cmses/ (to replace the one already in there).

Apologies if not understanding this correctly, but is this for a standaline vb 3.5.x install, or must it be part of a CMS install on top of vB 3.5.x??

This is for any installation of vb 3.5, any reference to CMS is flashchats way of referring to vbulletin.

I've been fighting with Flashchat and my windows server for a long time now - finally, I get it to work, but I have a couple of quick questions (questions that I might be able to find if I read through all 27 pages of this thread, but I'm asking for someone to throw me a bone, please?)

I've uploaded the php file to the correct CMSES folder and also imported the plugin to vBulletin through the Add/Import product.

1) What does the plugin do exactly? After I've installed it, I still have to tell flashchat to log me in (by either clicking the auto-login button or entering my login info.) I'm running the latest flashchat at v4.4.2 and v3.5.1 of vB - am I missing something?

2) Shouldn't my users be able to login automatically? So if I create a menu item at http://forum.opiophile.org/chat - shouldn't they log in right from there, without having to enter in additional info?

Thanks for any help....

If you have to log in then you have an error in the integration somewhere.

I'm not sure that gives me much to go on. How can I check if the integration went through or not? It looks as if my users are able to login and use the chat using the link below - is there something from the plugin that I'm missing? (what's the expected result of adding the plugin?)

It appears that I can create a menu item linking to http://forum.opiophile.org/chat/flashchat.php and I'm able to login with a click - this must be the way it's supposed to work? (Rather than going to /chat and expecting an auto-login?)

Thanks....!

Like the first post says ;

* Authorised members to be automatically logged in.
* Automatic login now works even if a member has not ticked "remember me".

If users are not automatically logged in then the integration is broken.

The plugin is purely for the WOL display, nothing else.

* If enabled, the users location is now displayed in WOL (use the plugin to avoid "Unknown Location").

When you installed flashchat you should have ticked the CMS integration box and then chosen vBulletin 3.5. If you did not do this then it is not integrated (and auto-login will not happen) You can easliy test this by logging in as any username you like, with any password you like.

What's does WOL mean? Wake on Lan?

Using the link I supplied above, users are logged in regardless of whether or not your plugin was enabled. In fact, all I did was go through the install process provided by Flashchat and then clicked './chat/flashchat.php' to auto-login. My problem was when I was simply going to ./chat (not adding the flashchat.php then asks for login information.)

I guess I'm more or less trying to figure out what you're plugin does...? I've modified my templates to auto-tick the remember-me box - so is that it?

WOL = Who's OnLine (display) :)

Like I just told you, the plugin is purely for the WOL display, nothing else.

Yes, that is the correct path for autologin, I'm a bit confused by your statements, are you saying that does autologin, or doesn't ?

That's not a problem, that's by design. That page is supposed to show a login screen. You would not normally link to it.

All is well here, except the "Live Support" mode of FlashChat is not working. I have done everyting right per the FlashChat instructions. I think the CMS file is missing something about "customer roles" whatever that is. ... ??? I am using your VBulletin35CMS.php file. But I see others are having problems with the one that comes with FlashChat. So maybe you're not the right person to ask?

A suggestion for others: Edit config.php to cause a logout from FlashChat to return you directly to your VB forum home page instead of displaying the login box (comments removed):

//---
//Logout behavior
'logout' => array(
'close' => true,
'redirect' => true,
'url' => 'http://xxx.yyy.com/forum/index.php',
'window' => '_self',
),

Hmmm... i have no problems with this integration. Works great on our board. :nervous:
