Is there a way to make a left side menu with the flashchat info instead of it at the footer. What coding would I change??

You would need to edit various templates.

Paul, installed this on 3.6.4 with Flashchat 4.7.7.
Worked great. Thanks for the wonderful mod.

1) I have the chat open as a page in VB. What do i have to edit so that the chat window use the same skin/style as the default forum style ?
2) How can i show user's avatar or profile pic when they log in the chat ?

3) Can i create a public chatroom inside FC and let the unregistered, guests in that room only without signup for an account on our forum ?
This would be a nice feature since we have monthly chat with guests and I don't want to force them to sign up. I have installed FC on some part of the site as a stateless chat and no login needed but i want to incorporate one FC installation.

Many thanks. Your mod is top notch.

1. If you mean Flashchat itself then you would need to edit various FlashChat files - I cannot help you with that, you need to visit the Tufat forums.

2. If you mean within FlashChat , you cannot.

3. You cannot do that - integration with any forum software such as vBulletin (a "CMS" in FlashChat talk) prevents guest logins, that's the point of integration.

Any Screens to see?

Nope.

Installed. Thanks Paul excellent and easy to use product. :)

I have a question please.

I would like to be able to integrate with my vb database for members login, but have the chat files (and hence mysql load) on a different database.

Is this possible and how would I do it?

Not possible without customised code (even then it would be a pain). If you want to integrate then you need the use the same database.

Paul I sent you a PM on flashchat so it's up to you how you answer. If you reply to the PM I'll copy the answer here as I know other users are interested having read through a lot of posts here and at tufat.

Please note this is about restricting access but passwords are not the solution. I teach classes for teens: some will delight in handing around a password! so they can gatecrash each others' classes (and disrupt them).
So I need to restrict access to at least some rooms to the students who are members of a class / usergroup.

I need to have at least three rooms (but would like more) where only certain members can go to each room. I have similar access to their own forums, via usergroup on vb, and access permissions were a major reason for choosing vb.

It would be great to config the flashchat integrate mod to carry over the same usergroups as I have on vb. That would be heaven! so a user with e.g. B usergroup can then be allocated access to their own B room, C usergroup can be given access to their own C room etc.

Failing that as I have a small community I could do the flashchat access manually so each room gets a list of its users/
OR each user is allocated one (or more?) of the private rooms.

Thanks for a lovely mod. I think it's a tribute to a great mod that it raises expectations so we want more!
