You need the database name, user and password for the database. Since that is "private" information, you need to get in touch with whoever set up your database(s) on the server. There is a forum link at http://www.tufat.com if you have other problems, but no one else can really help you with that.

Good luck,

OK I have this installed and my users like it but wish it didn't open another window and could see who is in Chat....anyone want to take this on for better integration?

Are you talking about FlashChat v 3.9?

There is a module info.php for chat status that you can add to your forum index, or wherever.

darren's chat is the best bang for buck. go to vbadvanced.com and there's a module there. there's also a good support forum. i know for a fact you can show, in real time, who's in the chat room. you can also put the chat in a frame and then in a module and it can load automatically whenever your home page loads.

however, the best thing is to put the info.php into a module thus showing who's in the chat room at any time. then put a link in that info module that produces a pop-up of the flashchat room.

well, that's my two cents. hope it helps. again the support forums at darren's site has all this info, the vbadvanced site has it and i'm pretty sure i think i saw a thread here on how to integrate it into a module... not sure though.

I know the thread is dormant but I just paid the $5, the install instructions are straighforward but a tiny bit misleading, but it's bloody good value, a superb tool, go try the demo, integrates NO SWEAT...

is there a way to see the install instructions before purchasing?

Also, once integrated, does it still require users who are logged in, to login again?

If you mean Flashchat from tufat.com, it seems to work quite well without requiring any login if you set up the integration. Well worth the $5 at least.

I haven't seen any installation instructions online.

You should say what you mean rather than leave a statement like that hanging.

Um, how do users get into the chat? Mine says "user and pass", and if you don't have one, you have to enter as guest. How do they register, or do I register them?

If you mean Flashchat from tufat.com:

The readme says to go to the /integrations folder and select the appropriate integration (vbulletin.html - Integrating FlashChat with vBulletin v. 3.03) to get instructions for installing and integrating FlashChat with your BBS.

When users follow the FlashChat link, they will be authorized and logged into Flashchat automatically, under their usernames.
