Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: statement in /home/myusername/public_html/board/vbulletin35CMS.php on line 26

I searched this thread, and others have reported this; the only advice they got what that they had broke something. Well, I've broken nothing...any idea what the prob is?

Well you may not actually have "broken" anything, but clearly you have done something very wrong - that error message clearly shows that not only do you have vbulletin35CMS.php in the wrong place (it should be in ../chat/inc/cmses/) but somehow you are also trying to run it - which given it's totally incorrect location - should be impossible (unless you are trying to run it direct).

Any chance of making this a CMPS module? I have a module already but it's not as good as this mod, it doesn't have musername and it's in an iframe which is really annoying. I tried putting this code in a module, but no go. I guess it only works on FORUMHOME.

Thanks

Erm, indie, are you sure you have posted in the correct thread ? You are not showing as having this installed - and tbh, I don't understand how your post relates to this hack.

he might be referring to a vbadvanced hack that adds flashchat into an Iframe template on a portal page.

Yes, I was. I posted in the Who Is Chatting thread now. Sorry.

I seem to have everything working except getting a link to the chat room on my navbar. I am following the instructions fine but whhen I go to edit my navbar template I can not find this code in that template anywhere. Got any suggestions ?

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout"
onclick="return log_out()">$vbphrase[log_out]</a></td>

Thanks a lot Paul. I always look for your work around here.

OK here is something I found that appears to be very similar. Would this be what I am looking for ? I am using vb 3.5.2 so I wonder if it may just be different than what is in the instructions for adding a link ?

I think session has changed to session_q since those instructions were written, IIRC they are 3.0 instructions.

OK Then , I forgot to paste the code I found in the previous post, sorry. I am such a dunce at times ;)

This is the code I find in my Navbar template
<!--<span style="float:$stylevar[right]">[<a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&amp;u=$bbuserinfo[userid]" onclick="return log_out()">$vbphrase[log_out]</a>]</span>-->

would it be in place of this code they have in the instructions to look for ?
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout"
onclick="return log_out()">$vbphrase[log_out]</a></td>

Thanks again for your help.

Jaye

You need to find this ;

and insert the flashchat link code above it.

Thank you so kindly Paul ! That was what I needed to find. Don't know why I couldn't see it before but all is well now ! I have this on my test board with a few helpers checking it out and it should go onto my live board here in the next day or two. I sure appreciate your help.

Jaye

What code do you put in to make it open its own window?

Your link would have to look something like this

The
target="_Chat"
is the only thing that is added to make it open in a new window. What this does is titel the new window _Chat.

Hi Paul,

anything new about the socket-support yet? Maybe any chance for you to share your pre-version with me for testing? Flashchat is not in productive use in my forums yet - i'm still waiting for a solution for that. As we have lot's of users and they're currently using my old chat extremely i don't want to start without the socket-integration yet. The non-socket-version would drive my servers crazy :)

I haven't worked on it for a while, so it has a few minor bugs and is not recommended for live systems. Feel free to PM me if you want to test it. I haven't tested it at all in the 4.5.x beta versions.

Hey Hi..

Well I don't know if its correct to post my problem here but ..mmh

The registred users , the moderators, the smoderators and all the normal usergroups created by default by vbulletin can acces without a problems to the flahchat, but the new groups created by me, they can't access to the flashchat , I mean they appear like banned users.. So I would like to know how to fix this problem.

Thanks

Thanks Paul M jajaja...

Hi,
Would some of you who have installed this hack, could you post your forum URL's?

I would like to see some examples on how this looks integrated with VB.

Thanks
Chris.

Just visit the Tufat site - their forum is vbulletin, with integrated flashchat.

hey -- I'm trying to hack your hack, and could use some help..

The idea is to allow users in some groups to chat anytime, and others can only chat sunday after 18:00 hours...


so I hacked up your code like this...
(unfortunatly, since it don't work, this is a literal interpetation)



I'm just getting a blank page when I try to log into flashchat.


It don't work, and I can't figure out why!!
any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks.

You are missing an opening bracket '{' after the if statement.

DOH --
I just found it...

Thanks....

hmm, I'm not sure what I did but I broke my flashchat.

I installed it this morning and was working great.

I then added this hack, and also the flashchat on vbpage https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ght=flash+chat

but now, nobody can get into the chat (even myself) If you go to http://www.caraudiocentral.net/forums/flashchat.php you get the login prompt now (before I tried to apply these 2 hacks, my 'platinum' members were able to enter the hack without logging in).
But now you get that prompt, and no matter what you enter in those fields, it says 'incorrect user id or password'

anyone have any ideas to where to check first? It was working before so it has to be something I did when I tried to apply these hacks.

Thanks
Chris.

Can you enter flashchat okay direct -

http://www.caraudiocentral.net/forum.../flashchat.php

?

Not anymore, I just get that invalid error. It was working before I attempted to do these hacks, but not sure what I could have done to screw it up.

I'm not sure what's wrong with it.

I've unistalled the plugins, and then put back the original flashchat files onto the server. But it still doens't work, just prompts for a user name and password.

Is there a way to totally uninstall flashchat and start over?

Just delete the files, then re-upload them, then re-run the install.

Hi Paul

Just went through a nightmare of killing access to mysql on my new server here, after reinstalling flashchat to get the permissions to work, LOL. Didn't realize from the instructions that "upload the supplied/edited files." meant
You might want to change the install directions to reflect this. I, being technologically handicapped, put the file in the vb directory. And wondered for a while why it didn't do anything. Comical, I know, truly comical.

Great hack by the way. As we've come to expect from you!

rich

I've edit my master copies, next time I do an upload, the instructions will change.

Cant find file consts.php and foleders inc\classes\ ???

Look harder then - it's there in the install files.

So I cant find the install files, folders inc\classes\ :? Anyway thanks

Erm ../chat/install_files/

Does this hack include access to the Flash Chat Admin CP via the vBulletin Admin CP? I've installed the hack and it seems to be working fine as far as the chatting itself goes, and I was just wondering since in the past, it's taken some time for products that modified the Admin CP (namely, the arcade) to show up there.

No.

Such a thing may come one day, but not for the moment.

Thanks for the clarification.

One other question: Is access to the private, permanent boards limited to those in the "admin" group, or can those in the "mods" group access it as well? I have a "moderator's lounge" room set up in my Flash Chat installation that I would like both mods and admins to be able to access. If only "admin" can access the private rooms, how can I modify the CMS so that the "mods" can access it too?

You cannot alter this in the CMS file - it's part of the main code.

In flashchat 4.4.x versions it is admins only - in 4.5.x versions it has been fixed to be admins and mods.

Well I found my mistake, and it was my head up my ass...anyway she works well now...

badham

@Paul
Is there a known issue with user groupID's with double digits?

I have tried to add a groupID of 16 and i cant get access for that group, all groupID's 1-9 are fine.

What i've done temporarily is add registered user group access to the users in that group so they can access the chat, this is not what i want as now i have to allow registered users into the chat. This was just to comfirm that all groups with a Id of 1-9 work fine.

Thanx

Nope, any group id will work (as long as it's granted access).

I take it you *have* actually edited the CMS file for these extra groups to give them access ?
