I guess what I should have asked is I am looking for a chat/video program for my members to use in a room enviroment..you know what I mean? Where everyone can turn on their camera's and the member can choose to look at one camera or more depending on how many the program allows them to look at. Any help please..YES I am more than willing to pay for this..even if it is branded..just want something for my members sites.....yes I am running a Linux server with SQL and PHP full support

Thanks In Advance For Any and All Help !

"The CMS file assumes that you are installing Flashchat in your forum root folder - this is the same folder as your usercp.php file and includes folder. Installation will fail if you do not do this."

Does this mean that it will not work if installed to /chat? Or will it, if I edit the CMS file? If so, what edits to make?

It's referring to the chat folder.

Ok. I have flashchat installed to webroot/chat while vb is installed to webroot. So will your mod work even though my flashchat is in webroot/chat? Because the quoted red text above makes me believe that you are saying flashchat must also be in webroot with my vb installation. I hate mixing files in with my vb files. . .

Sorry for the additional question but I just don't want to waste any time on this if it won't work in my case.

The chat folder must be in the same location as the vb includes folder. This is a requirement for Flashchat/vBulletin integration, irrespective of whether you install this modification.

Gotcha. I should be good then. Thanks much! I'll use the mod as it seems a lot nicer than the default integration.

ok, I just purchased flashchat for $5. I see there is the "chat" folder and "src" folder.. im guessing I have to place them in the same forum root when I have the vbulletin files.

But is there any configuring I need to do with those files before I download this intergration mod? im a little confused and want to make sure I do everything right.

btw, I downloaded the beta version.. (4.83) hopefully this mod will support it.

thx in advance

You don't need the src folder - it's just the flashchat source code.

Ok it is working great accept for one thing. I can log into the chat fine with my old link I manually added to the nav bar to open in a new window. But when I click the link in the Quick Links menu, I get prompted to enter my user/pass with the message that I am already in the chat.

What gives?

I would guess you didn't log out.

Paul, I appreciate it.

what about the install instructions here -

http://www.tufat.com/docs/flashchat/installer.html

should I follow those before I install this mod or no? and are u sure I dont need to configure any files in the /chat/ folder first?

Please refer to the Flashchat forums for help / assistance with flashchat itself.

When closing the flash chat window it always auto logs you out so this doesn't explain why my manually added navbar chat link and the one you add to the quicklinks menu behave differently. One logs right in, the other prompts for a user/pass.

Sorry, I don't know. That is an actual Flashchat screen/message, not anything this can display. It basically means you still have an active user session on the database, normally that would be because you were not logged out properly.

Installed! :D

Hi I have installed this product..

And it works nicely :)

How ever I dont see the Quick Link??

vb 3.6.8
flash chat 4.7.12
I am using the CA EVO template
And Icelandic lang

Is there somthing I can do to see the link in Quick Links?

I see the integration well if I click the Members who are using Flashchat link ;)

just put the link anywhere on your nav or sidebar etc

just place in your navbar template

look for
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>

and place after

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forums/chat/flashchat.php"style="text-decoration:none;"target=_blank">Your Chat</a>

obviously change to your path.....

That will position in navbar.....................and opens as a new window.

The correct link to use for this modification is ../misc.php?do=flashchat , not ../chat/flashchat.php

Thanks for the update Paul :)

I unistalled this hack due to lack of use. Can I just delete the tables in MySQL?

flashchat_bans
flashchat_config
flashchat_config_instances

etc....

thanks for the update

Those are flashchat tables, nothing to do with this modification.

have followed the instructions in .zip file: uploaded chat/ and includes/ directories and made the optional edits. i want to have an embedded flashchat window in our forum now and it isn't popping up. not sure but the feature

"* Flashchat can be displayed embedded inside a 'standard' vBulletin Page (i.e. not full screen)."

seems to say this is doable.

please advise as to what i need to do to get an embedded flashchat window working.

cheers,
jake

As the main post says ;

thanks paul, should've read that more carefully :o . normally i'm the guy telling people to read the manpages =).

any advice on a good aesthetic place to put it? was going to do the vBadvanced thing but not sure if i need it for this.

All of the sudden, my Flashchat link causes users to go to the Smiley list in the FAQ instead of Flashchat. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but no luck - any idea? I've look at the hook code and everything seems normal - something must be conflicting with it:

http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/misc.php?do=flashchat

Disable all other modifications that use the misc_start hook, if it then works, enable each one in turn until it fails. You then know where the issue is.

Hello,

Will this mod work with FlashChat v4.8.x versions?

Thanks

I don't know if the problem is with the integration or the flashchat, but it prevents me from being able to backup the DB within the vb admin cp.

As it says :)



I can't really imagine it being either, but you would need to be more specific - prevents you how exactly ?

So,

I installed the flashchat, made sure it all worked. THEN as it said in the directions I went through the process to integrate it to my vBulletin. I DID install it with the option clicked for my version of vBulletin...

When I did all the steps in the file for integrating the two... now when I go to my

"chat/flashchat.php"

location to get to the flashchat... it comes up completely blank. No errors, no anything... :(

Any ideas?

Thanks!

So, I assume if it is installed and working fine there is no need to update. Thanks for all of your hard work on this (and all of the other mods you have created).

Which steps did you do ? Check any file edits carefully.

That's correct, if you have 3.54 installed, there is no need to update.

If you have an older version, you only need to upgrade if you want the previous changes.

Ok,

I un-installed, and went through it again tried to double check everything...

Didn't work again... so I un-installed again just to make double sure...

Re-installed and at least there is SOME progress... now instead of a blank white browser screen, I get a soothing blue blank screen. Maybe you can see it:

http://www.skepticality.com/vboard/chat/flashchat.php

Obviously I am doing something wrong, but after about 3 tries I am not seeing where my error might be... :(

D.

No idea, there are too many ways to break integration to just guess, as the main post says ;

I have Flashchat and this mod installed and I backup my database from the vb admin cp every other week or so without a problem...I don't know much about this stuff and its been a while since I installed vb, and FC, and I can't remember if FC even uses an SQL database like vb does.

Darn,

Ok, I am going to attempt to do another complete un-install and clean. Then just go from the very beginning once again! :)

D.

What is the 'real' best way to uninstall this whole thing so I can go back from complete scratch?

I have un-installed the hook between FlashChat and vBulletin, but what is the best way to un-install FlashChat?
