Paul, just to let you know, while testing my Flashchat add-on hacks to check compatibility with v 3.7.0 beta 2, I tested this hack, and it works fine with no alterations apart from editing the product xml to change the dependency maxversion to allow it to work with v3.7.0 beta 2.

I would expect that to be the case with most of my mods - but most do need updating in some way, in many cases to make use of template hooks and other minor past oddities.

This one would be nice to get back for 3.7....missing it already!

Edit...It does work if you change the maxversion BUT it will not add the "FlashChat" link in "Quicklinks". It will however still add it to the Navbar.

I am very new to all of this.

Exactly what are the steps to instal this?

Install Flashchat, ticking the option to integrate with a CMS (on the first page where file permissions are checked)

What in the world does that mean?

I read the instructions and have no idea what they are talking about.

Thank you kindly. :)

Hi Paul,

could you please check this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=139300

Also, I remember a post by you about flashchat security. But can't find it anymore. Can you please advise how to make flashchat and it's integration with vbulletin more secure? It seems that my flashchat keeps getting hacked.

Whatever I posted would be very old now, afaik there are no current security holes.

Does this put a load on the server?

I'm concerned that it may overload something and my host will boot me off :o

Thanks

Do you mean this or Flashchat in general ?

Sorry for the vague question Paul, I should now better :o

I meant does Flashchat (and this mod) put CPU load, SQL queries and extra traffic through the server? I dont yet understand if the conversations are client/server or client <-> client.

Thanks and Have a Merry Xmas

Flashchat will most certainly increase the load on your server - the more that log in the worse it will get. All convos are client <> server - every client polls the server every few seconds. This mod specifically does not increase the load of flashchat.
