It always helps to RTFM :p

ya, i apologize,lol. I had someone install it for me cause i was busy doing the upgrade, and it was more of an issue of having to backtrack. Thanks again! :bunny:

Here's a screenshot of it loaded in a webtemplate:

[high]* Guest210212002 thanks Paul M[/high]

I gave this a shot but it is soooo slow and sluggish that I took it off. Anyone know of a good alternative for live chat?

That's hardly relevant to my hack, please post such questions in a general chat thread.

It's 100% relevant because I experienced a sluggish system, my testers experienced a sluggish system, my users experienced a sluggish system and im sure others who have tried this have experienced a sluggish system too.

With that being said, i'm sure these members went to something else and could probably point me in the right direction.

Thanks

No it isn't, if you have a specific problem with this hack then feel free to post it, otherwise please read the notes.

You do not even appear to have this installed.

My users love it! not sluggish at all.

Hey paul, back to bug ya again,lol. I got a few users getting "timed out" while using the chat. Myself, and a good portion of those that use the chat dont get "timed out". Anything I could check in regards to this, or do you think it's more of a browser issue they're having. They said it is after approximately 2 minutes or so. Thanks again!

Check the settings in the flashchat config file.

Im lookin at it now paul, do you know what part I edit, and what do you recommend for a setting, thanks again

I have the Flashchat installed for a while now and forum members really enjoy it. Thanks kindly for putting this 'hack' together for us.
I have one question now though. When I installed it I set it up on only one forum style. I would like to add the flashchat link to the header of the other style in my forum but I can not seem to find the instructions on how to do this. Do I have to install it all over again for the other style or is there a way to add the flashchat link to the second style header ?
Thanks kindly for your time in helping with this as well.

OK you can disregard my last post. I got it figured out :)

Jaye

what part do i edit? im checking now

I found this from Tufat.com: http://www.tufat.com/docs/flashchat/integration.html
is it the same to your hack ??
If it's not, do i have to intergrate flashchat to vB before using your hack ???

Where should I upload the add-ons to ???

Did you read the note in the main post.

I did, but the WOL function doesn't work, so I try to upload the Add-ons :surprised:
Do I need to modify template ??

Anyone have an issue where the javascript dropdown menu divs (such as quick links) are hidden behind the iframe / flash object? I've been looking for a solution for some time now. I've tried setting the div z-index style to 2:
and the iframe z-index to 1:
This doesn't seem to fix it.

I've also tried adding the following to the object tag in flashChatTag.php:
This doesn't work either. I'm getting kinda annoyed here...

What is being done to improve FlashChat's integration security?

Just look at how easy it is to fake a login as an administrator:

http://www.tufat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14166

This has always been the case (long before I ever started using flashchat) it's just that no one has noticed before (or if they have, never mentioned it). It *might* be possible to fix (possibly at the cost of an extra sql query each connection). Of course, people who state "I'll never use this again even if it's fixed" are complete muppets - if everyone took that attitude then problems would never get fixed.

Well since I don't have the ability to see into the future, nothing is done until a problem is notified to me, then a fix gets investigated - v2.58 is now released - this no longer uses the offending cookie.

Hey Paul,

Noticed after this upgrade on my board... that the product version is still 2.56. Might want to update the XML file :)

ooops, edited to 2.58 ....

MAN, am I being excluded or something? I clicked Install but why I didnt get any email for upgrading. Cheeseee. If I don't take a look today probably I don't even know.

No, your not excluded, I haven't sent an e-mail yet. :)

After the upgrade, unicode usernames don't work anymore. I see boxes instead of turkish characters... (uninstalled and installed the flashchat and checked utf-8 box but didn't work)

Post deleted, problem solved :) Thanks again for the wonderful hack!

What is flashchat? Using IRC, PHP? Does it put huge loads on the server?

Unfortunately, that's why I said in the update that you really need Flashchat 4.5.3 or above - changes were made to international character handling, and corresponding changes in the CMS to match.

I already have FlashChat v4.5.3...

I'm downloading v4.5.3 again... maybe it was beta... (downloaded last week)

Hmm, well I'm assuming the changes were added. I don't use unusual characters so I wouldn't know.

Edit: Well apparently the translation changes were not added, great ......

Re-download the v2.58, I've reversed the translation changes in it.

Fixed, thanks...

does this work with Flash Chat 4.5.3, or sorry its late, half awake here. I'm trying to get my flash media server II (full) working with this later this week. Figoured I'd ask before I install it.

As per the first post;

Hallo guys.

Is anybody aware of some incompatibility with vBull 3.5.4??

I have downloaded it and installed, all seems to work perfectly!!
As I was on the way and received your mail i also updated my old flaschat 4.5.2Beta to 4.5.3

now

running on vb 3.5.4 your new integration hack works cool but not with flashchat4.5.3

Actually seems obviously not a problem of your integration but flashchat 3.5.3
infact i unmounted it and reloaded my old 3.5.2Beta with ur new integration and all is fine.

Is anybody aware how to solve the problem???

Excuse my bad english and also to ask this problem here (I ask the same also in tufat forum) so at least i am sure someone will help.

the problem with 3.5.4 on my vbull 4.5.4 is that wont open the movie, and after some time (15 secs) a requester will pop up telling that a script is delaying on the flash movie and suggest you to close the page to avoid freezing pages.


again tks for any help

regards

K problem was solved.

Paul M, pls excuse me if I used your post, but I felt could be of interest for some users.

solution is at : http://www.tufat.com/forum/showthrea...3985#post63985

ty again for your great hack

Paul I upgraded to 3.5.4 this weekend. Flashchat was working fine before. I got it to working now but after I logged out, I can't get logged back in, it won't accept my password. And yes, I did tell it to intergrate. Should I just reinstall again? Or do you want to take a look? I have a test account set up. Liz

How do you make custom backgrounds for the flash chat? Thanks!

That's something you would need to ask in the Tufat forums.
