Between either this hack or flashchat, it prevents a database backup as it starts out backing things up but hangs up on the begining and won't get past flashchat.

How can I change the redirect after one logs out of flashchat? It's defaulting to 'forum/index.php' when I need an extra 's' after 'forum'.

Edit it in the flashchat config.php

I downloaded the package but have no config.php for flashchat...where is it at, ive check ../chat/inc/

The latest version available for download is FlashChat_v482.zip. Is this the name of your downloaded file? Check the file size. Right-click the file and check its properties. The file size details should be:
Size: 3.54 MB (3,719,452 bytes)
Size on disk: 3.55 MB (3,723,264 bytes)

Extract all the files to your C: drive. The config.php file should be located in this path:
C:\..\FlashChat_v482\chat\inc\

The inc folder should contain these files:
badwords.php
common.php
config.php
config.srv.php
country.inc.php
flashChatTag.php
flashChatTagMambo.php
index.html
smartyinit.php

Unfortunately, my webhost won't allow me to install FlashChat on my shared server. :(

I've had flashChat installed for a while, everything was working fine. When I updated to 3.6.8 in vBulletin, it would not recognize any user name or password. I installed your Mod and now everything works again. Thank you.

I ned for my forum, to install two chats, I mean "physically" different : one is the default chat and the other one, will be a custom one, with a different template. Is it possible to do that with this plugin?
No problems if it's the same FlashChat (I mean same rooms & same users), but I need two different templates.

Oh, I forgot, for the custom template, I need to have a chat with less text lines (like 5 and not around 20 by default)

If someone have an idea, I will be glad to have it !

After upgrade vb 3.6.8, the login auto don't work

Upgrading to 368 should have no effect unless you changed something (or forgot something, like the xml file perhaps ?).

I have a few users who cannot log in. I have tried to log in with their accounts and have the same issue. It says invalid username and password, even though it is the exact same as their account info. What gives? 3.6.7

No idea, not enough information.

Are they perhaps members of a custom usergroup ? have you given that group access ?

Thank you very much

I just installed Flashchat Integration for vB 3.6 (ver 3.52) for the first time, into my vB forum (ver 3.6.8), with FlashChat ver 4.7.11.

However, FlashChat is not showing up embedded in a vB page. Other aspects work... the mod shows up in AdminCP, and it returns me to a vB page when I logout of FlashChat.

Any idea what I may have done wrong? The files from the install (in Chat & Includes) are on my server.

Thanks!

ETA: NEVER MIND: see next post

Never mind above Q: I wasn't using the links created BY the mod, I was using the navbar link I'd previously created for FlashChat.

Maybe it's worth noting this for newbies like me? That a prior navbar link won't work, and should be removed in favor of that created by Flashchat Integration?

Thanks.

doesn't seem to work on custom usergroups even if you set permissions. Admins it works, Registered it works, but custom usergroup with permissions says incorrect login. any ideas?

Could be any one of many reasons, as the main post says ;

One of the steps for installing FlashChat says to input your vBulletin license # - it says to put it in a file, but doesn't say WHERE in that file. Anyone know? I'm guessing for vBulletin 3.6.8 (my version) I'd edit the flashchat file called vbulletin36CMS.php in the cmses subdir but have no idea how I'm supposed to add my vB license # to this file.

OK, I've managed to get it installed... ( http://forum.icedogfans.com/misc.php?do=flashchat )

Definitely one of the LONGER add-on installations, especially since I'm new at it... but I've proven that someone with little PHP/vB/Linux knowledge could still get it done :)

Okay, I'm a bit curious ;

This itself should take about 30 seconds - upload files, import product, job done.

I suppose if you do the two optional file edits, that could add a minute or two, but I can't see what else would take up time.

What was the cause of your delay ?

Going to the FlashChat site, reading the instructions, paying for the software, getitng the code, downloading Flashchat, reading install instructions, going line by line through some files looking to see if any of the 'optional' config needed changing, backing up my forum, uploading flashchat, etc, etc, etc...

and I had to download WinSCP3 so I could get into my forum directory via FTP since it's not in my web root.. just lots of reading basically to make sure I didn't screw anything up. 'LIke working in a shop, measure twice cut once.

Upgraded to 3.53 without any problems ... Thanks ...

Re: v3.53 - Minor changes - includes disabling the utf8 functions if the F/C config option is false.

for upgraders; a simple xml upgrade or are the file uploads also necessary?

Both the XML file and the CMS file have been updated.

i cannot import the xml. in my error log:

That's some sort of apache crash.

Well I have the next problem, Users who are logging incorrect to no leave the chat, I have to do a global room kick every time. How to resolve this

This is a great hack, excellent work. Installed smooth as butter, as did the AdminCP integration. I'll tackle "Who's online in Chat" tomorrow.

My question is about the page title -- it's missing in the HTML, so nothing shows in the browser title bar. Is this a problem stemming from the misc.php script? It finds "FlashChat" for the navbar bread crumb, seems it should be able to find it for the title. (I use vBPortal so if it's their issue just point me in that direction.)

Separate question, I don't care for the FlashChat brand showing to the users.... is there an easy way to globally replace that with "Chat rooms" or something? I could go mucking through your plugin but that has other issues.

Thanks again for an excellent hack.

The word 'Flashchat' [in the plugins] is possibly phrased in some places - I'm not sure without looking. I don't think you can change it in Flashchat itself.

Paul,

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this, but I've been searching and couldn't find an answer, and it seems like the users over at the Flashchat forum aren't that experienced with vB.

But is there any way to easily configure Flashchat to use vBulletin style CSS? So that when a user enters, the "theme" is the colors of their style? Let me know if I should ask this over at the Flashchat forum instead.

And I also couldn't find an answer to this anywhere, but are there any plans to create a system where we can assign certain rooms to only be available to certain usergroups (or secondary usergroups?)

Oh, and I may be missing something, but how do you create a private room for staff? :p

There is no way to make Flashchat use VB (or any) CSS - it uses a totally different system.

There is no real facility within Flashchat to restrict users to certain rooms, technically I think it could be done, as that's what staff rooms does, but it would mean rewriting some of the flashchat php files. I have no plans to do that.

Staff Rooms: You create a permanant, private, room in the admin [rooms] section.

The who's chatting feature has a problem. If a chatting user is chatting for too long, the who's online feature no longer shows this user. Anyway to correct this in who's online?

I don't really understand what you mean.

Alright, thanks for the info. :)

I have a error that on load the blue screen just hangs there. I took your advice Paul and it worked (install) fine. But several things in your post says it should show up in the adminCP. Well mine dont, the user group has nothing about chat. Can you think of something I did wrong.? I placed your files inc/cmes, includes/xml and vbulletin integration in the appropiate places, I am kinda stuck

As the first post says ;

Everything is working fine except i made a new group i give them Moderator acces but they cant even access the chat i tried everything.

Any Help?

I figured it out thanks :)

My one seems to kick certain people out after a certain amount of time any ideas? or shall i go to tufat?

Yes, that is a Flashchat issue.

Updated :up:


Nice addition, I thought it was a User Specified ability via UserCP or when they Log In to the Chat instead of a Global one, but still cool I guess.

No Chat Access...?

Edit.. nevermind. ;)
