It's not about the hacks it's about how secure your server is... Never a security issue here with flash on a *nix box using the proper set of rules in mod_security in reference to any kind of forum boards.. Paul's hack here is what you want to call bullet proof but there are always ways around it if there isn't a proper set of rules set up on your server...

Can't blame the hacks, you have to blame the security ;)

Try clearing all of your cookies for one?

That's a Flashchat issue.

same here . i cant add/remove edit rooms. any link in FC admincp doesnt do anything

i just verified today that my users are no longer be automatically logged into FlashChat after the most recent update. any suggestions?

Not really, could be anyone of many things, there is no way I can tell from here - you have obviously broken or changed something.

yea, i guess i was just curious if anyone else was having a similar problem. i'm going to uninstall everything and reinstall it again when i have time.

I shoulda said before...I installed the new xml file, didn't touch anything that was already set up, and everything worked fine. Very easy upgrade. :)

Paul what about the non working FC admincp issue ?

I cannot help you with Flashchat issues, the admin works fine for me.

I have followed the instructions however when I click the link I just get a blank screen and nothing shows.

Any ideas what could cause this?

Well... i try to access sirect link - blank white screen

when i access via forum, it then it shows the forum, then where i assume the chat should be, a blank area

-

I reinstalled flashchat and it worked fine - so I think its a problem with your MOD?

Paul,

In the installation instructions for version 3.51, what do step 3 and 4 that are optional actually do? Just trying to understand what they do so I know if i want them or not.

Thanks

Doug

Step 4 is just a message change.

Step 3 means that clicking on Flashchat's logout should redirect you back to your forumhome.

when FC is installed as stand alone the FC admin cp works. with this mod it doesnt. with the vb 3.5 version it was also working

Like I said - the admin works fine for me.

Thanks Paul, appreciate it.

Doug

I uploaded the "chat" and "includes" file to my server and then (stupid me) decided I didn't want this mod and deleted the files. However, I cannot access my site anymore via browser, all that shows up is a blank page. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

What else did you do besides uploading and then deleting the files ? Just uploading them, and then deleting them again, will have zero effect.

Hhhmmm, I'm pretty new w/vB so I didn't alter anything in depth. I was trying to install Flashchat, (don't ask why I was downloading a mod w/out the Flashchat program first:o ) but in the process of installing Flashchat I came across this error: "Error 02 - vbulletin config file not loaded, check you have the correct path." I am assuming this is most likely the problem.

Have any ideas as to what I need to do? I checked the default "upload" folder vB gives you to upload to your server, but I couldn't find a "config" file. Thanks.

Flashchat must be located inside your vbulletin folder (i.e. the same place as the includes folder) otherwise it won't work with vb.

If I had to install the "includes" folder again, would I have to run the vB insallation script also?

We're getting a bit off topic here, but why would you need to install your includes folder again ?

Never mind, I got everything working again. Thanks for your help.

Well, this is nice :D.
Installed it!

well, i get an error after installed
"vBulletin 3.6.x : Integration Error 01 : Please consult you system administrator."

whats is this code mean?

It means either you tried to call the CMS file directly, or you have a very broken Flashchat.

How can i fix it?

Paul, does it count people in other channels? Cause it says there are 10 people in my chat, but when I look the chat says 13.

I don't understand what you mean by "other channels".

Well.. U can make multiple rooms within flashchat.
What I see (all the time) that people aren't in my chat anymore, and your hack doesn't display them. But I do see them in the chat. Can u help me with that or do I have to ask the dev?

when I installed this it works fine on the forum page. But on my CMPS navigation bar the link doesn't work I get a 404 error any ideas on where I need to go to fix the broken link? Sorry if it was posted already and I over looked it

Hi,
I installed yesterday Fashchat version 4.7.9 in Vbulletin Forum.
And.......

My site closed 12 hours after installing due to using excessive system.
Site activity showed only 58 visits in chat.

My evidences:

Reason:
"These processes combined, began using between 60% to 80% of the system processor beginning today at approximately 10:20 AM EST and lasted until your Web site was stopped at 11:30 AM EST."

That's the drawback of cheap, crappy, shared hosts.

Not sure why your posting it here though - this is not a Flashchat support forum.

Problem: www.u-connex.com/chat/inc/config.php is a blank page. Any idea what I did wrong?

I uploaded Chat & Includes folder to my server.

You cannot view the config file over the web.

Wow I'm stupid. Alright, got everything done but Flashchat still opens up with another browser window. Any suggestions?

For some reason when i try to access it via the ..../misc.php?do=flashchat (from browser) a page loads but the frame within (where flashchat is to preview) returns an error page (default hosting company 404 page)

Anyone experienced such an error? Did i miss a link that needs to be modified?

I think (please correct me if im wrong) i have to upload the CHAT and INCLUDES folders to the server using FTP...

-----

:eek:

I realized now that I need to get the flashchat from Tufat first (now i know what step 1 was referring too :rolleyes: )

Just to be sure, after i install flashchat from tufat, on the server via ftp, do i still need to upload the CHAT and INCLUDES folders that came with Flashchat vb integration.zip ?

Yes, install Flashchat first (choose to integrate it with vb3.6) - then install this (inc the new files).

I don't really understand what your problem is. What exactly are you doing, what happens, what did you expect to happen ?

* Flashchat can be displayed embedded inside a 'standard' vBulletin Page (i.e. not full screen).

Am I just reading this wrong? Everything is installed and OK, but I thought this hack would, when opening Flashchat, not open with it's standard full screen but rather in a vBulletin page; with maybe my navbar at the top or statistics at the bottom of the page. Do I need to create a template for this?
