Try this location instead, as it looks like you saved it to the chat folder instead of the correct vbulletin folder:

That fixed it.

PaulM,

This post should actually be placed in your mod's description, somewhere...so others who are having the same issue after installing FlashChat can resolve it. It took me a day to actually find this answer. Must have been how I was going about it...

Anyhow...I know there has been a lot of issues about the popup menus from vBulletin's navbar disappearing behind the FlashChat window.

For a resolution, please see this thread located at Tufat's forum: http://forum.tufat.com/showthread.ph...in+menu&page=2

Hope you find it useful...

You might also want to include this with your other versions of this mod, as well.

Hmm, interesting. I will ned to play with that myself first, but if it works, I'll probably add it to the instructions.

Hi Paul, installed this on another website without a hitch except for the "Who in the Chat" hack. It is displaying some weird characters:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Also there are a couple of other problems I am experiencing. First I get no window to enter text once in the chat:

Also it doesn't show the "A" next to me and I am the administrator.

Please read the main post :)

Hmmm, thanks, I thought maybe my first question about the number in the chatroom looking corrupted might be hack related.

My other problems have been fixed.

What would cause the Who's on Chat plugin to do this?

To do what exactly ? I dont know what your issue is.

Also, this thread is not the who is in chat mod, please post any questions about that in the correct thread. :)

BTW my other problem with not being able to see a Flashchat input section was caused by having multiple masks set for a usergroup. Example Admin user group had both Spy mode and Admin access set. When two or more were selected for a usergroup the input portion of FlashChat went bye bye.

Indeed - you must only set one, if you set more than one then the highest "ranking" will take effect - and in this case, spy overrides admin, and a spy user has no input section.

Paul can you see my question in this other thread:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...61#post1900061

It's the last bug I need to work out in my upgrade.

Thanks for this mod!

I was advised not to use FC5 and to use 4.7.12 instead.

So this mod was great for me. No problems at all so far.

Great work -=[INSTALLED]=-

I downgraded back to 4.7.12

I can get automatic login...is that an issue?

I have recently installed flashchat, integrated with vbulletin 3.8x

However when I go into the chat I cannot switch rooms it also seems that im in room [null] ?

Welcome! You have entered [null] at 1:50 pm
[null]: Admin has entered at 1:50 pm

Any help solviong this issue would be much appreciated.

My database name changed. Easy way to fix this or must I reinstall?

Figured it out: Edit config.svr.php under ./chat/temp

good I am glad to do these stpes

hi Paul i just uninstalled your hack (cause i should upgrade to the 4.0.x in the next days), but i saw a strange thing into the 'Version Info and Other Untouchables' menu (check the pic attached) ...

this is the text in that field:

it's normal? can i remove that field?

Thats actually 3.7 mod information. I used a custom version variable to store information for all my 3.7 & 3.8 mods - but abandoned the idea in 4.0. You can remove it if you wish - it wont harm anything either way.

thx Paul, but the Q is how i can remove that field? is possible?

If you dont know how then just leave it alone.

Hi Paul M,

Thank you for this great hack. I certainly works like a charm.

I was just wondering, do you know how safe flashchat is? I've been hearing stories of forums getting hacked because of the many security holes involved in the software. Do you know the safest and most stabled version of flashchat? I don't want my website to get hacked over this software is all. Thank you in advance.

Dont believe everything you read. Only some older versions had a known security hole (on badly configured servers). The last 4.x version is fine.

I see that the last FlashChat stable 4 series download is 4.7.12 and some time back I ended up using 4.8.3 from Flashchat. That must have been some intermediate step, which I hope is OK with this Add-on.

Everything appears to work fine, except with the "drop down" quick link in the vB nav bar.

For Flash Chat, I'm getting a link to:

_______/forum/misc.php?do=flashchat&room=1

Which defaults to my error page.

A working link from Members currently using Flashchat:

_______/forum/chat/flashchat.php

I just updated vBulletin to 3.8.6 PL1 . ;)

Any idea if this mod would work on VB4?

All the VB4 Flashchat integrations seem to be for Flashchat 5/6, both of which seem to quite buggy in comparison to the FlashChat 4.

No idea TBH, but I doubt the integrated page will display very well. The usergroup integration should work I believe.

I've installed the flashchat and the integration and I'm getting a blank screen. Can you please help me?

Please read the purple support note.

thank you

hi

i see only

This modification has no config.php

so what can i do?
flash don't work!
the page of chat is empty

Important Note:

I no longer use Flashchat (and havent for over 18 months).

The development and support of Flashchat at Tufat.com appears to have died in 2010 - the site owner has not been seen for almost a year, and even the developer who took over F/C version 6 has not logged in for at least two months. The last [beta] version was 6.0.8, released in June 2010.

Therefore after almost 6 years of supporting Flashchat Integration with vBulletin, I have decided I can no longer support my Flashchat modifications. I do not have it installed on my test sites anymore.

Anyone who wishes can of course continue to use them, and they should continue to work quite happily in 4.1 [for the moment]. However, any future issues caused by vb style or code changes may break them, and will most likely remain unfixed.
