Well that depends on what you mean by safe. Version 4.0.6 has a few minor bugs, but I believe that if you install it from scratch, following the instructions (using the defaults) then it works fine.

The only new features seem to be the bots and avatars (and more smilies), I believe that it may be slightly more efficient flash code as well. If none of this bothers you then I would question whether it's worth upgrading.

No, but I can think of no reason it wouldn't.

Hi All

I have just integrated flashchat, latest version and used the integration provided in the install. I have also used Pauls mod re usergroup permissions, but im can not find how to access flashchat user admin within vbulletin.

When I go to the flashchat admin then log in I get this message when clicking on users.
This option is not available when FlashChat is integrated with a custom CMS (content management system).
Please use the user administration tools which come with your system to add, edit, or remove users.

where do I go to get in to admin within vbulletin.

Thanks in advance.

Dave

Paul M

There is no flashchat user admin when integrated - the point of integration is that it uses vB's user list/table. :)

Hi Paul

Thanks, what about the mod the you have done to deny/allow access for usergroups, where is the admin to confiqure this.

There isn't any - you have to edit this section of the CMS file ;

PHP Code:


		
			
// Set Allowed groups 

if (in_array(2,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_USER; 

if (in_array(7,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_USER; 



//Set Staff groups 

if (in_array(5,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_ADMIN; 

if (in_array(6,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_ADMIN; 



//Set Banned groups 

if (in_array(8,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_NOBODY; 

if (in_array(9,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_NOBODY;

Each number is the vB usergroup number (i.e. 6 = admin group).

Thanks Paul,
Cant believe I'm so stupid,

In the default user what should it be, I guess also I can add lines for other groups. Also I cant seem to see any rooms or a list of users currently in chat on the right hand side.

I did the changes now all I get is a blank white page, it worked before. So I must have hosed something up any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. :ermm:

Paul M

07-08-2005 01:18 PM

Well that meas you broke it - as you have no links to your site in your profile I can't look.

One thing - in the flashchat config file, set debug = true, this will help find the error.

Standard vb/flashchat integration already does that - this enhances it.

FYI: Hack updated to 1.75 (for the release of Flashchat 4.0.12).

Your chat is fixed. I recommend you get a better text editor, whatever you used made a mess of your files. :)

I have heard this as well - that FlashChat hangs and crashes with more than 20-30 concurrent users, largely because of poor flash-to-file i/o interface (though this last part has not been verified). What is known is that FlashChat tends to lag out and crash with concurrent users numbering 20-30 or so, but I'd like to see some hard data on that. Does anyone know of any FlashChat running with many concurrent users, and report on the type of performance (both in the chat room, as well as to the server)?

Paul M

07-09-2005 02:50 AM

I would be surprised if it coped well with more than 30. I don't think it would on our server.

FlashChat, though, is being sold from its site as something that can conceivably host many, many users.

Then I suggest you take it up with the author. It's not my problem, nor anything to do with this hack. :)

Sorry, I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. I was simply asking if anyone had any data to suggest whether or not FlashChat is stable beyond 20 concurrent users.

I do have the answer, however -- it is not. On a dedicated server solution (Dual Xeon 2.2Ghz, 2 Gigs of RAM, on a 100 Mbps HE/Above backbone), Flashchat experienced flock errors beginning at around 28 users, and at 35 users, it crashed. It's not something that can be mitigated by simply performance; there are inherent flaws with the script. Just something that users might want to know before they decide to use FlashChat as their community chat solution.

There isn't one - the instructions come with flashchat when you buy it.

Paul check out userplane... I am working with that company to have intergration with vBulletin... Nexia has done a lot of work so far on it. I hired him to do intergration and somehow he jumpped to working with them directly but you should check it out. It is on their servers so all the weight flashchat does is eliminated.

For some reason after adding your mod the bots don't come in. Any idea whats wrong?

As I don't use bots, I could not be 100% sure - but at a guess I would say they won't have a valid usergroup (as they are not vb users) and therefore would not be allowed access by the default settings of this hack.

derekivey

07-29-2005 08:57 PM

Ok, Thanks.

Paul M

07-29-2005 09:19 PM

FYI, the default access is controlled by this line in the CMS file ;

PHP Code:


		
			
    // Set default access 

    $userrole = ROLE_NOBODY ;

If you set that to ROLE_USER then they may be able to get in. The problem is that so will any other non banned usergroup (inc possibly guests, I can't test this atm). You *may* want to add lines for usergroups 1, 3 and 4 to the banned groups section (a few lines below the default).

derekivey

07-29-2005 10:56 PM

Ok, Thanks Paul. I'll try and get it to work.

derekivey

08-03-2005 07:10 PM

Ok, I took a look and I think it has something to do with this code in inc\classes\sendLoginInfo.php:

PHP Code:


		
			
            // # Paul M # Prevent non allowed members joining .                        

            if(ChatServer::userInRole($this->userid, ROLE_NOBODY)) 

            {

                $user = ChatServer::getUser($this->userid);

                $this->userid = null;

                return $this->sendBack(new Message('lout', null, null, 'banned'));

            }

I just can't figure out whats wrong :(

Paul M

08-04-2005 07:39 AM

Did you change the default to ROLE_USER as per two posts ago ?

derekivey

08-04-2005 02:53 PM

Yes, and it still didn't work.

Paul M

08-04-2005 06:52 PM

Change it back to this then, so as not to break anything else.

Code:

        // Set default access 

        $userrole = ROLE_NOBODY ;

Having never used bot's I haven't really looked at how they work. I would guess they are being assigned the role of NOBODY and so getting blocked. I'll try and look before I go on Holiday, otherwise it will be towards the end of August before I return.
