Delete the files (both for this and flashchat), uninstall the product, drop the flashchat tables.

Thanks,

Maybe that was my problem. I didn't go into the sql and drop all those flashchat_ tables... let me try now... :|

D.

this mod is working fine but i can't quite figure out how to embed a flashchat box in EVERY page. when you link to misc.php?do=flashchat it will bring up a window that is laid out as:

<header + navbar>
<embedded flashchat box>
<footer>

i would like to have a similar layout on all the other pages on the board like so:

<header + navbar>
<embedded flashchat box>
<posts in thread, forum list, etc>
<footer>

so that the flashchat box is embedded into most of the pages a user would see. clues appreciated on how to achieve this.

have read that vbadvanced allows you to do stuff like this but haven't dug into that yet.

cheers,
jake

Cool,

That was my problem. I did the full un-install and made sure all those pesky tables were nuked. Then went in and did a full install as if it was empty, which it was. Now I have a fully working system! :)

Thanks! :D

You don't want to do that because the member would be logged out and then back in (to flashchat) every time they visited a new page.

Paul,
Here is the link to my chat.
http://www.wickedstangs.com/communit...p?do=flashchat

I get a blank window I know it up and running.

Here is the actuall link
http://www.wickedstangs.com/chat/index.php

where do I do the configuration so it points to the chat?

Thank You

The chat should be inside the vbulletin folder (../community/ in your case).

Thank you just figured that out..

I posted this on tufat, but was told to post it here (with edits)

I have a strange problem with autologin. I have VB3.6.8 & FC4.7.12 integrated as per instructions here. In my case, it auto logs me in in FireFox, but not in IE. When using IE, I have to log in again with the forum user/pass. Some users have even complained that they are prompted for the login/pass box in FF too. Not sure what it is... is 4.7.12 supported? Has anyone had any problems with it? Anyone running 4.8.12 without any issues on this hack?

If it helps, here's the link

To see your issue in action, a test login is needed as well.

Try test123/test123

PS: It's strange because it works for some people and not for others.

Works fine for me in IE6, IE7 and FF.

You do have a cookie issue though - if you drop the 'www' from your url's you will be logged out of the forum, and the chat - maybe that's what's happening.

I know that's not really an issue for this mod, but how do I remedy that? I do have a mod rewrite that throws me from domain.com to www.domain.com, but apparantly something else is at play here. Now is the cookie issue in flashchat or in my vbulletin???

This isn't a good idea but you could use iframes to do that.
<header + navbar>
<embedded flashchat box>
<iframe>
<posts in thread, forum list, etc>
</iframe>
<footer>

But that would require alot of work.

Sorry to double post but I wanted to let you know Paul.

You can add a new permission set called spy. I just tested it and it works.

I basically just made a copy of one of the other groups and changed its name/numeric value.

If you wanna know what I did PM me or catch me on MSN (neo_obs@msn.com)

To let everyone know, a spy can look at the chat but won't be seen by other members or be able to talk. I really like this feature as I don't like to talk to my members (I am just the technical guy not the webmaster) But I still want to see whats going on in chat. I like to spy LOL

The only reason it's not there is simply that no one has ever expressed a need for a whole usergroup to spy, so it's not been necessary to add it.

One person can spy without the need for a such a permission, you just need the spy password. :)

having install the mod, i have found a little issue, the only usergroup that can use share file is admin.

any thoughts on how i can change this, it worked before we did the admin intergration

Craig

File sharing is controlled by Flashchat setting files, I can't remember offhand which ones, you need to ask on the Tufat forum.

chat\inc\layouts

==> user.php

=>

Has the memory leak issue been addressed.

Huh ?

What memory leak issue ?

Hey paul, didn't this intergration allow us to be automatically logged in to chat if you were logged into the site? If so, could you point me in the correct direction for setting up my chat with automatic loggin again please?

Thanks for this hack ..

This does not specifically do that, you set-up itegration when you install Flashchat. If you didn't then I suggest you just install it again (you can manually edit the config file, but you need to ask on the flashchat forums for help on that).

I would be very careful using Flaschat. My site was hacked into twice through Flashchat. I am not saying this mod has anything to do with it. I believe it is the chat itself. I wish I could remember the files they used to get in but it was awhile ago...

I wouldn't feel right if I didn't at least warn you guys. I will tell you though that this integration worked absolutly perfectly for my site and my members loved it. I would actually love to install it again but I just cannot take the chance...

Great work on this...

You could post such a warning about almost any software, including vbulletin (whose last exploit was patched yesterday). The last known exploit for Flashchat was the aedating cms files, over 12 months ago now.

Thanks for the quck reply paul...........I did get it figured out, i need to click the integrate button on the first page of the install..........works like a champ.

Well, I'm about to give up on this one. I have installed it, no problems, except that I can't start it using Firefox. I see a few lines pass by telling me it's loading and then it just ends in the blue window. No problems using IE7. Two other testers with Firefox report no issues.
So, I reinstall Firefox. No good. I uninstall Flashplayer and try older versions starting at FlashPlayer 7 and working my way up. No good. I uninstall Firefox, I uninstall Flashplayer. I reboot. I install Firefox, I install FlashPlayer. Still I can't get into Flashchat. I try the demo at tufat.com, same issue.

I reinstall Flashchat, no solution, same issue with Firefox. And to make things worse, now IE7 also chokes on Flashchat.

I've uninstalled FlashChat, deleted all files, deleted all database entries, uninstalled the xml files and then installed FlashChat 4.8.3. And still I can't get in, not using Firefox, not using IE7. How am I supposed to get this to work? I don't know anymore.

Hmmm, ok, semi good news. I've got IE7 working again thanks to an update on the getxml.php file. Good tip!
But Firefox still shows the same behavior.

Hi there
i have a situation where sometimes i see my chatroom is full of users but i know that they are not actually around. i.e. i see them in the room, but i know that they are logged out already.
Is this a cache problem? how can i minimize this?

Thanks in advance

Please note that this is not a Flashchat support thread, I can only answer questions related to this modification. For Flashchat issues you must ask on the Tufat forums.

Hi, I am fairly new to this.

Do I need to download additional software for the Flashchat Intergration for vB 3.6 or will this download contain the necessary components?:confused:

Thanks for your patience.:)

Flashchat already comes with vb integration, this just enhances it.

Do you know if a small list of vBulletin user names can be checked with this hack script to prevent their access to the chat? These are users that I don't want to ban from the forum, but need incentive to behave themselves in the chat rooms.

Has this already been hacked by anyone?

Create a new usergroup and set it's chat permission to banned - then add that usergroup (as a secondary usergroup) to those users. vB integration checks secondary usergroups, and the banned permission overrides any other permission.

Thanks Paul.

I created this new usergroup (22) and added its group number to the Usergroup Definitions for $banned in vbulletin36CMS.php.

Adding that new group as an secondary Usergroup to that particular user's Usergroup Options definitely makes them unwelcome in the chat.

Paul first of great work so far.
I have been looking an ddo not want to do a mistake beforee I contiue and mess things up.

step 5 states to upload the xml file with the product manager

I am a dummy but tell me

are you talking about vbulletin cp -> Style Manager -> import style xml file -> upload xml file from your computer

now then merge in to my style
and ignore style version or not option

if this is not what I am supposed to do please tell me what you mean by Product Manager otherwise ehh

:confused:

ACP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

Thank you Paul. I figured it out 4am this morning lol..

I did do all it says to do but I only get a bar in the cp
just above the styles and Templates bar.
Do I need to reinstall or am I missing something...

I have vbulletin options and then blank and then styles an dtmeplates

This does not add any new menus to the ACP, so I have no idea what that is.
