This is what you need:

Thanks hqarrse, we'll add this to document in next release.

i Cant find plz picturee

when i post msg it doesnt show ! and i need refresh to shoW!!!

whats problem ?

It doesn't get much clearer than that to be honest.

You go to your admin panel at something like http://<your chat server>:35555/admin-panel.html then go to the menu option given. It's pretty much impossible to miss so if you can;t find it you may be in the wrong place entirely (not the admin panel?)

I think you'll need to explain that one a bit more clearly. Are you saying that your Flashchat is running but when you type a message it doesn't appear? Surely if you refresh the page it resets the Flashchat session altogether?

That's a great idea! thank you. but it only works for apache web server, and it will be a little bit complicated to configure the web server, to edit .htaccess or httpd.conf ,
and here is a solution to resolve it, just add the code below in the beginning of login_chat.php

I was told this "requires" a dedicated server...I am sure if you are under a load of chatters, then I can understand for the need...but would I still need dedicated for like 5-10 users in chat?
I really do not like the free version as it is not private to my forum, and the ads just
make me sick.. :) even other chat mods do not require dedicated, and I can
get a few chatters without going dedicated, but 123flash chat just looks better, but
will be no good if it will not work on a shared server at all.

What if I own a version of Flashchat and just want to integrate it?

It's a Java server and installs its own JRE during the install script. I wouldn't like to say that you absolutely need a dedicated server, but you certainly need command line access, as well as being able to install services and lifting any firewall restrictions. I haven't used shared hosting for a while but I think this is all very unlikely. You could use a virtual dedicated server without a problem of course.

DeviantFlash, I'm not sure what you're asking there really. If you own a copy no problem, and if you want to integrate into VB, then just use the integration that you can download from their site.

anyway to remove the nav link on the forum tab?

i have created a tab for it and would like to remove the sub-tab....

in vBulletin ACP, Styles & Templates -> Search in Templates,
search "chat", find fchat_navbar_link and remove it.

Yes Hqarrse, you're definitely an expert on 123 flash chat, you've answered onehost very correctly, it's true that a dedicated server is required.

Basically two requirements: shell access (command line access), can run JVM.
And about the port, usually ISP can open it for you.

So Mr. Onehost, even if only 5-10 users you will need DS or VDS, otherwise you may consider our affordable hosting service, it's stable, instant setup, free install and with professional tech support.

That's even easier.
When you've done installing the module, in configuration, choose server mode 2) Commercial Server Software or Hosting Service.

Sorry - getting carried away. So far I've been downloading and installing mods from VB.org but not contributing much so it's nice to help when I can!

It's good to see an integrated VB module, although it would be better it it worked properly! For those who host your own server, but have a license (correctly I believe) for the domain where you have the client, ie. where your users are chatting, and these server and clients are not the same, you will need to fix something.

The integrated widget doesn't give you the possibility of adding different server and client locations. If you enter my_chat_server.com for your server, then the system will also look to 'my_chat_server.com' for the client. That results in an 'access from my_chat_server.com not permitted' error when you try to connect to the chat. I assume because your 123chat license is not for my_chat_server.com, but for your website.

The solution - quick and dirty - is to edit 123flashchat_admin.php and hard code in the URL to the client (line 58):

Thanks to 123FC for taking on board my security comments.

FYI, I bought 123flash chat a year ago and never really used it. No refund possible so I lost ~450 bucks :(
The flash version was to much for user to load, and the html version was lack of functionality.

this connect with others servers .. right ?

well i suposse this just connect via your DB ..

but is a good option ;) !

Out of interest I just had my chatroom hacked. I then (stable door, horse etc) looked up exploits and found this:

http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/14658/

Given that it took me to point out the gaping hole in their forum integration security, and the severity of these exploits if true, I have lost confidence in 123FC and will be switching to a different system. A bloody shame after so much work and my users like it, but weak security is simply not acceptable.

free version doesn't work on my site.
When i Open the page i see the 123chat home page instead of the chat.

:(

and the coder has not made a post since aug...

maybe move to graveyard...?

I am looking to install a video chat 1 to 1 live webcam / webconference with 1 live video and users logging on to participate..

Is there a software out there that Can handle that and also be incorporated into VBulletin 4.08..

This Flash Chat 123 looks like it will do the trick, but I am worried from the comments..

I have a dedicated Server and I have full root access to my server..

I want my users to be able to talk to each other thru live video 1-1 webcams, and be able tos ession and set that up thru the chat room..

So is this the program Iw ant to go witha nd if not, what do Iw ant to look at getting...

I will pay for a license if its worth it and a known and well tested solution..

I dont wnat to ahve issues.. Sow ahts the bEST software out there for live video chat for VB 4 integration?

Well, 123FlashChat flash client has luxurious features and dazzling look, so it takes a while to load the skin, this is partially true but it only takes once, then it will be stored in cache and loads very fast ever since!
By the way, 123FlashChat 8.x loading speed has tremendously faster than before, you're strongly recommended to come back to upgrade.

Alternatively, 123FlashChat has a lite chat client, which is extremely fast in loading.

Well 123FlashChat connects to its own Java server,
but it can integrate others user database, means that if you already have a vbulletin, then all your vbulletin users can enter the chat seamlessly, single sign-on, after the integration is done.
thank you!

Dear hqarrse, I'm sorry to hear that you've switching to another system. Actually the security problem has been fixed long time ago in version 7.8 and 8.x, please request the updated files by writing to support@123flashchat.com if you are still interested.
Thank you!

Well hqarrse,
if you're using free hosted chat bound with vbulletin module of 123flashchat, you don't have to worry about the security problem because we host the java server and already fixed the problem at our end;
if you're using a paid license or hosting chat, you may write to us to request the updated server file to fix it instantly.
So in either case it's not a problem any more, please stay with us!

I wasn't. I was using two paid licenses to run my own chat servers. I have since switched to cometchat (great for small forums) and parachat (java applet which is a pain) but I feel much more confident even though I preferred your chat client.

When I requested an upgrade (the license.dat etc) for my 7.7 server I was refused and told that my license would only work with 7.7 even though less than a year old.

When I posted about the security flaw in the VB integration in the 123FC forum, the post was deleted and the problem not addressed.

You got my money twice - not again!

My recommendation to others is to stay well clear of 123FC.

nice Chat Room Thanks For Sharing

Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!
I should have let my colleague know that you're VIP and shall get upgrade package freely!
(Because 8.0 is totally rewritten by Flex and a brand new product, we charge upgrade fee for regular users.)
Please PM me your billing email address so that we can send you the upgrade, or, let me know your ticket ID, or you may attach your vbulletin username "hqarrse" when communicating with us.
You're a friend we hate to lose, we can offer one more year free upgrade if you need.

Least ++++ turpin wore a mask!! :eek:

**Problem Resolved** Thank you TopCmm

my loving online community Transformation.com uses this module add-on =)

Well it's a misunderstanding. Let me clarify, if you're running vB on your own server and you have root access to this server, you can buy a $199 license.
If vB is on a hosted server, then you should buy a $300/year hosting.

Meanwhile, there is no reason that an email sent to the order processor officer will get reply in 2 or 3 weeks, usually it's replied within 24 hours. Please PM me your email or domain so that we can identify the problem and the loose link, sorry and thank you!

**Problem Resolved**

Usually we offer 30 days refund guarantee. Please PM me your billing email.

Well congrats! It works like a charm.
Here are 15 tips you might need to drive traffic to the chat room.

you have the instructions to install the chat on my server?
so then I integrated it with this module

It's pay!

:(

When trying the free service, it just says

Connecting...

Then it just says...

"Connection Failed"

Any ideas?

Anything on this???
