I used this who's chatting block for vbadvanced...works very well.

Can someone give me a guide on embedding it into a vbulletin page?

I've seen it on a forum where the flashchat page loads with the header and footer around it.

<navbar>
<flashchat>
<footer>

Thanks.

This already does that.

OK, I'm sure this sounds incredibly dumb, but where and how do I install flashchat? I'm just totally stumped on Step 1 in the installation. Am I supposed to upload flashchat onto my host or something?

I was under the impression that this mod was self-contained and that it was just another one of those mods where you FTP files onto your host, import an XML, change something in a template and good to go.

I know this sounds really dumb, but I've never uploaded a program into my host and installed it, is that what I'm supposed to do here? Thanks

This is what i want to hear for months, first of all thank you for this explanation. Secondly, i would be glad if u tell us more about this. For instance, how can i supply this patch? Where is it included?

I'm little bit noncommittal about Flashchat integration. The reason is, a year ago my forum was hacked because of this exploit too.

Already thanks for your interest Paul.

I would like to set up a button on my NavBar that will yield "who's in chat" info.

I know how to work with the nav bar, just don't know where to point the URL for the button click.

OK Paul M -

First thanks for the integration. Except for this small issue even a phptard like myself can get this going.

OK. Here's the story:

I installed Vbulletin 3.6.8 no problems.
I installed FlashChat 4.83 with integration, no problems. Loaded fine.
Used your integration hack.
All I get is the blue screen of death - first 2 loading steps are fine but the third gets to about 30% then loads the blue screen. Nothing else loads.

I have tried:

Re-installing (3x) including dropping the tables (complete reinstall)
Followed the common problems when installing - tried updated getxml files (2 or 3 different ones, I guess there was an issue with the original getxml.php being formatted for a WIN32 system)

You can see the problem at: http://www.ibreakstuffracing.com/chat/preloader.swf
Login (good luck!): tester
Password: tester
I assume the above is a complete enlarged version that isn't "wrapped".

I'm lost - any ideas?

OK, I tried once again with Flashchat 4.7.12 and it worked flawlessly. I assume there is an issue with the newest flashchat?

Possibly you were suffering the issue with the getxml.php file - the one supplied with 4.8.2 and 4.8.3 does not work on all servers - this is a known Flashchat bug/issue, details are on their website (in their forum).

I installed the Flashchat files onto my server. I followed steps 1-5 in the text file, however the chat still does not work for me: http://www.politicsforumpoliticalwor...p?do=flashchat


The only thing I can think of that I am doing wrong is that the flashchat files ARE NOT in the root folder, HOWEVER they are in the same directory as my usercp.php and includes folder. Is that what's causing the problem? If so, what can I do to fix it?

The files are in the correct place. You have some issue with your installation. For support of Flashchat itself you need to use the Tufat forum.

OK, thanks Paul.

Can I buy a brand free option for this mod - please.

AKA - Can I pay you so I can remove the "Flashchat Integration by Paul M" from the bottom of the chat room?

Sure, I've sent you a PM.

And then the link from your forum will get /forum/forum/misc.php

So that will work from you CMPS page, but not from your forum right?

Is it possible to make a more intelligent plugin code that will detect if your on cmps or in your forum, because I dont get why you made it this way...

Cant you just use something like $options [forumhome] ??

Or what should the code be in the plugin to make it a "hard" URL?

Wrong, relative paths in browsers don't work like that.

You have also quoted an old post, there is now a prefix option in the modification settings, which you just set to /forum/ (or /board/ or whatever).

little problem with this integration.
i have a user that is in a certain user group, but it seems that he does not have the same functions as the others in the same usergroup. he actually has almost all accesses like a mod or an admin.
i think there were few users like that as well.

is this normal? if not, how can i fix this?

thanks

PS: he is not in an additional usergroup.

It's not possible for someone with the exact same usergroup settings to have different permissions.

well Paul it is and he gave me screen shots as well. he gave me his password so i could log on with his nickname, and i had the settings i set for that usergroup, so when i used his Nick, all was fine. but for him, he had different settings.

i then gave him a different nickname to test. at first he had the correct settings but when he logged out and logged in a couple times, he had different settings again.

Can this be related to cookies on his computer?

I have a user who claims that *sometimes* when he logs into FC he has mod abilities. But he's one of those users who likes to TRY to hack into things for fun, and who you're never sure whether to believe him or not. :P But if its possible that it is truly happening I'd like to know.

that's what i've been trying to say too.

i just changed all my permissions in the "layout" folder (admin, moderator,etc..) they all have "False" for invites, create room etc..

and this one user is able to do some of these things.

he's using firefox by the way

installed. thanks!!!

hi,

I have installed this hack, and all is fine except;

I would like to use the flashchat inside of the vbulletin page.

I could really use some "help for dummies" type support.

I can modify the config.php file logout behavior as needed to
'window' => '_parent',
or whatever is needed there.


Here is what is in the NAVBAR template;
<!--------- S T A R T FLASHCHAT MODIFICATIONS ----------->
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="misc.php?do=flashchat"
target="flashchat">FlashChat</a></td>
<!--------- E N D FLASHCHAT MODIFICATIONS ----------->
------------------

When I click the link behind this code,

FC opens up with the header, navbar, fc, then the footer. Is there a way to have the FC widow size smaller, and can the forum threads and posts be under the FC, and above the footer? I bet this has already been asked, sorry for any dups. I am working my way thru this.

I also wonder if FC will open when vBulletin is opened, similar to how vb shout does?

THANKS ALOT for any help. :)

i remember in the past it used to show forum avatars in flash chat private message, no it doesnt , why ? and how to fix flashchat v 4.7.8.

I cant seem to logon using my Vbulletin username and password. Can someone help?

That will only work if you store avatars in the database, and you have set the correct permissions on some of the flashchat folders.


Have you integrated it properly ?

yes they are in database which persmission to set and where ? i just upgraded to 4.7.12 and still the same and all the required flash chat chmod folders are ok unless for the avatar to show i need to do something else

I suggest you ask on the Flashchat forums, I really can't remember and it's a flashchat issue, nothing to do with this mod.

Could someone tell me how to delete the history?

I just integrated "Flash Chat" with my site. And normal users can connect, as well as me(admin).

The problem comes when "Clan Members" or "Co-Leaders (super moderators)"
try to connect. Apparently their accounts are not linked to flash chat.

Is their any kind of permissions i need to set within the user groups to enable a third party application to link to them?

Anybody have an idea of how to fix this?

Have you installed the mod, you haven't marked it as installed.

I'm sure this question has been asked, I appologize for not sifting through all of the first 64 pages first.

I got everything installed and working properly, except the chat opens in a new window. How do I keep the chat in the same window? TIA!

Having a problem with this ........ my chat link points to .......forumschat/flashchat.php
and there is nothing there? Page cannnot be found, when pointed to the misc.php folder as instructed it brings up my smiley page lol so What am I missing here?

I have the files uploaded in the root dir. I have also uploaded xml

bump bump please some help? I have posted on the Tufat sight and still no help

Have you imported the product ?

the download seems to come with incomplete files
