First of all, fantastic! hack. Installed!

But here is my problem. I have some usergroups saying that they are banned. What exactly do I do to allow like 6 different usergroups in? I have admins, junior admins, mods, junior mods, senior members, and members. Please help!

Edit: It works for members and root admins and I think senior mods...

As the notes say ;

Ok, my apologies, I am not a guy who is familiar with coding. I know very little. How do I edit usergroup definitions? Im in the vbulletin36cms file, where do I edit the usergroup definitions?

Edit: I think I found it and it is at the bottom of the file. I set the usergroups how I want them to be ( 6,19 ) for admins, as an example. But now it doesnt say they are banned, it just says they have entered an incorrect password or username at the login panel, even if they use the same one.

Please, please, can someone explain in lamens terms? :)

They are at the top of the current CMS file (v3.05 and above) - if you have a file with them at the bottom then that's an old file, I suggest you upgrade it first.

Ok, now I am catching on :lol:.

I have it how I want it, but when I ask others if it works, they tell me what they get the "Incorrect username or password" page come up. Im going to try reinstalling it, maybe that'll up...

did u ever get this fixed? if so how?
Thanks!

It cannot do that on a standard vbulletin page, this must be on external systems (like a CMS or Gallery).

Can somebody help me ?
Installed and working ok, except admin page of flashchat ! :( :(
when i'm clicking on any link on admin page - it's just reloaded and nothin ;(

ps: how to add button for admin page to the vB admincp ?

FIXED. (just was wrong session save path in PHP config - programmers didn't set session.save_path property ;)

Is there anything to be aware of if just updating from a 3.07 install? I've set all my custom settings, will I need to redo them or? What would be the upgrade steps, just upload the new files and its good to go or ?

If you have set any custom usergroups in the CMS file you will need to copy them into the new version, other than that, yes just upload the file, and import the product.

After a matter of time, I decided to unistall this hack as it takes a lot of resources.

Thank you a lot though. It was great.

Just installed this, no problems, it's looking great.
I'd like to know if there is anyway I can remove it from the Quicklinks menu.
I also want to know if there is a way I can only make it available at certain times, either by setting in advance, or by opening/closing the chat room as and when I want it? I suspect that last question is for someone at Flashchat forums though?
Thanks :)

I can only assume you actually mean Flashchat, and not this modification, as this barely uses any 'resources'.



Version 3.50

This is a new release that adds direct usergroup integration - at the moment it is only tested on my own server - so it is provided in addition to the existing integration files. Assuming that no problems are found then this version will replace the current integration files. This version also adds extra options to the automatic link creation (for Q/Links, Navbar or Disable).

Sounds like an awesome update! I'll have to do this later tonight or tomorrow! Thanks

Installed the new version and it works. Thanks! :D

Thanks the new version did exactly what I needed!
:)

Hi Installed it works but the but non of registerd user can log in I tried to groups but nothing works any idea

I don't really understand your post - you say it works, then you say it doesn't - and what does "I tried to groups" mean ?

awesome update! quick question, if i'm upgrading, do i have to remove the changes to the user groups in the config.php file... basically, does the integration supercede the config file?

Thanks!

What usergroups in config.php ?? there are none ....

oh, stupid me, I was thinking about the cms file that we'd have to modify if we needed to change the usergroup ids...

Not needed anymore (obviously) - just set each usergroups access level in the ACP usergroup manager. :)

updated. Works great.
Thanks Paul

On an unrelated note: i have some complaints from my users about the performance of Flashchat when many users are using the chat. So I'm looking for other more stable chat software.

Do you plan anything asides from Flashchat ?

Just to be clear, Flashchat is not my software, I simply do the vb integration for it. I have no plans for any chat software.

Hi,

Can I add this addon even if I don't have a CMS?

Thanks un advanced,

Cesar

CMS means vbulletin as far as Flashchat is concerned.

when you click the link to flash chat it wants users to login.....
how do you fix it to where when you click the link it will log you in auto.... with the members name ?

Same question here. When testing on my localhost it did that but now, on live BB, it asks for the login information.

Thanks in advanced,

Cesar Aracena

Ok, I found it. What happened, is that I uploaded the brand new config.php file from my computer after I did the redirect edit. What you have to do instead, is download the config.php file from your your server and edit THAT one that has all the CMS integration.

If you've already destroyed the file, then edit the config.php from your local testing BB and upload that one. I did that and now I auto-login as an admin.

Cheers,

Cesar Aracena

Make sure that your CMS setting in the Flashchat config file is correct.

As above it should say 'vbulletin36CMS'.

Version 3.51 has now been uploaded.

This has the Direct Usergroup Integration - usergroup permissions are now set in the ACP usergroup manager, not by editing the CMS file. Please read the main hack post for full details of what this modification adds.

for upgrades, do we need to re-up the new included files and re-edit the config.php again as before... or can we just import the new product?

You must upload the files and import the product. Nothing needs to be edited.

Easy update. Thanks Paul!

thanks it works like a charm

just installed flashchat & your hack paul

its working lovely but i can't find no section in usergroups for permissions

sorted paul , re-uploaded files & hey it works great

cheers

How secure is this?

My site was hacked through this flash chat so I removed it... I contacted the author of the chat and I was hoping he would help out with a fix and he just said it was the nature of the script.... Has anyone else had problems with security caused by the chat script?

Thanks

How secure is what, exactly ?

I can't log in again in my flashchat because the messages appear that i already stuck inside.......Could someone help me ?

It seems if i close my web browser and forgot to press the X ( log out ) button ?

I wont be able to log in again. " Another user is login with the same user name. Please try again".

.......weird......
