What must I do to make the Chat open in a new window? I have it enabled in the navbar, but it would be nice if it opens in a new window so people can browse the board without exit the chat.

Edit the link in the navbar and use TARGET="_blank" to open the chat in a new window.

The code will look something like this:
<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/"target="_blank">Chat Room</a>

<a href="address to chat room here"target="_blank">Chat Room</a>

Since the piece in the navbar can be (de)-activated in the options, there is no such link in the navbar.
The 'blank'-function must be edited somewhere within this mod, but cannot find the correct place/way.

You do not know how to edit your nav bar directly?

Admin control panel - styles and templates - search in templates - search for navbar - edit navbar - search in navbar for Calendar.

Insert the HTML code for your chat room right after
<td><a href="address to chat room here"target="_blank">Chat Room</a></td>

That way your navbar is in ABC order.

The navbar will then be - Calendar Chat Room

Here is the code copied straight from my navbar -

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="mywebsite name/misc.php?do=flashchat">Chat Room</a></td>

The name of my site was edited out for posting here.

Thanks allot Kevcj!!!
I wanted to do it the hard way, so was not looking what was in front of my nose.

Works perfect, thanks again!

Edit today:
I wanted to edit the permissions of the usergroups. But unfortunaly it gves me an database erro:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'nbmsgshowchatbox' in 'field list'

Does not matter which usergroup I want to edit, it all gives the same error. I want to give a sertain usergroup an other permission than the one which is standard, but it will not do it.

I have uninstalled this mod, added again, no succes. I have uninstalled the chat completely (also remaining tables in sql) and re-installed it, no succes.

Anybody an idea what is wrong or an other way to edit the permissions?

Ok I know I made a post in this thread a few days ago and now it's gone. As anyone had issues with posts getting deleted for no reason?

Anyway, I've installed this flashchat with integration (marked as installed too) everything seems to work ok up to the point where I click on the flashchat link that I put on my navbar manually. It will bring up the vb page with the iframe but inside the IFrame it's displaying a 404 error for the page. I've right clicked inside the iframe to bring up properties dialog and it's showing:

I've viewed the page source code and it's showing the iframe executing the correct url after I changed the $vbphrase[flashchat_path].

Flashchat works great in a separate window/tab.

I'm running vbadvanced 3.0 gold/Vbulletin 3.7.0 beta 5

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks in advance!
Jim

This is the thread for vb 3.6, you are in the wrong place. :)

The 404 bug was in the 3.7 version and fixed the other day.

Anybody an idea how to solve my problem (2 posts earlier)? I cannot even give my co-admin adminrights and she can not login too while she has userrights, very strange.

You need to remove the bitfield file associated with the 'nbmsgshowchatbox' modification from your includes/xml folder

Oh ok, :erm: My bad! lol

By the way, since we are talking about 3.6, I just tried to install the product for this integration on my 3.6.8 site and I keep getting an error saying that this version is only compatible with 3.7.x Am I losing my mind again?

Jim

EDIT: Nevermind - I got it working... I think I was half asleep when I tried to install it.. and I'm just being a goober. Don't mind me. Thanks for this integration! :)

Too bad the entire flashchat and integration blocks the ability to backup the VB databse from within the admin cp.

and how does it block that exactly ?

It just hangs up and stop the backup process as the flashchat files are the first to try to back up in the list of all the DB files to be backed up via the vB backup tools in the admin cp.

My webmaster couldn't get it to not hang up during backup either.

Works fine for me, and integration has no effect on the mysql tables anyway.

ty bossssss

Hi everyone. I'm a bit of a noob here, but I'm picking things up.

I've just installed this, but we want to change the page name from FlashChat to BlackChat in the breadcrumbs nav section so that our competition (who watches us like a hawk) doesn't know what modules we are using without really snooping.

And also the module page directly if possible.

ie misc.php?do=flashchat&room=1 to misc.php?do=blackchat&room=1

I hard coded the menu in NavBar so it says chat already, but these are making me scratch my head a bit.

Any suggestions?

The Navbar/Breadcrumbs can be altered simply by editing the phrase "Flashchat" - you cannot alter the links without quite a few edits of the actual plugin code.

I just installed Flashchat and this Integration mod. Everything is working fine, the way it is supposed to be, but I want to tweak it a little.

The chat opens within the forum, and I like that, but I want to make it so it opens a new window or tab when someone clicks on Flashchat in the navbar. What do I need to do to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Add target="blank" to the link code.

Error!

New usergroups cannot join chat!

somebody else got that problem?

Have you checked the groups chat permission in the ACP?

yes, set to user level acess...

When this user wants so join, autologin fails, as like manual login...

would be pleased if there is a possibility to get this running... maybe reinstalling the plugin? Cause the group was created after installing the integration and flashhat...

When the group was created is irrelevant. You obviously have a setup problem somewhere.

i just moved from one server to another... maybe chmod errors? But where :(

Its only one user as far is i know until yet.

I have successfully installed Flashchat. I am now ready to install the integration mod. In the instructions it says to "upload the chat and includes folder".

My flashchat is the root of the forums directory in a folder named chat. Do these folders go into that chat directory, or the forum root directory?

Just not sure on where these get installed.

Thanks in advance!

You shouldnt be set up like that really. The chat stuff goes in the chat folder, the includes stuff in the vb includes folder, you will have to manually copy each seperately.

Bear with me here as I am new to all of this. Maybe I am using the wrong terminology.

My forum is located like this

www.####.info/forum

Flashchat is located www.####.info/forum/chat

I have installed the flashchat and it will let me log in. I am now to the point where I want to install your mod. This is where I get lost.

If I upload the chat and includes folder, where do I put it? If I put it in the /forum it will overwrite the existing chat folder, will it not? Is that what it needs to do? Also, where does the includes folder go?

It will not overwite the existing folder, it will just overwrite one file (as required). You copy the includes to the forum folder as well (where you should already have one, this copys a new file into it).

Thank you!

Installed, nice mod!

Hi Guys,

I've got it all working and looks great..

Does anyone know how to make Staff Rooms? Etc?

Thanks,

Hello Paul,

From the way you worded this and step 1 of your install text it appears clearly that this is integration and not the actual Flashchat product, of which I can dl for free at there site. Correct?

Secondly is there anyway within the controls that I can disable users changing the layout, or is there anyway I can make the layout of the chat pull from the existing style that a user is on?

Thanks in advance, and I've hit installed but will wait for answers before I do anything.

Legion

Flashchat is not free, it costs $5

Lol, I think I can swing that.

And the other question would be answered by them and not you most likely.

Thanks,

L

Hello,

I have installed this hack, but cannot seen to understand how to get it to use the same template. In your directions here you list
For Flashchat inside a vBulletin page you need to link to .../misc.php?do=flashchat

Where is this?

i installed flashchat in my forum
www.ilbraccoitaliano.net/forum
and integrated in main menu of forum..
but the layout is different then in my forum (font etc..), is it possible to change in same layout of my forum (as last user connect, users online etc..)?
many thanx

I have the number of chatters showing on the navbar on the main vB forum page, but which plug-in do I need to change the 'Hook Location' of to make the $totalchatters a global variable seen in all forums and threads?

• Members in Flashchat (1) cache_templates
• Members in Flashchat (2) global_start
• FlashChat Integration (1) parse_templates
• FlashChat Integration (2) online_location_process
• FlashChat Integration (3) online_location_unknown
• FlashChat Integration (4) misc_start
• FlashChat Integration (5) cache_templates

hALLO,

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a
href="chat/flashchat.php"

None, thats what the run on all pages option is for.

Aha! I found the setting you referred to in the vB Options:

ACP -> vBulletin Options -> Who Is Using Flashchat -> Code Option -> Run Code on all pages

I saw the message above but is not clear how to do it..
how can i insert the numer of chat user next the FlashChat link on main forum menu?
many thanx
