Paul, any issues with your mod and the latest release of FlashChat? Just wanted to check here first before I upgraded. Thanks!

eta: ah nevermind. there's a security fix in the new version. I'll post if there are any issues...

Im confused. do we have to install FlashChat completely seperate from this mod? If so where do we download the correct, latest version of flashchat?

because in your readme file it says
Maybe you should put in your readme file how we can obtain flashchat or find out if its installed already.

Just an fyi... everything is working fine with 4.7.0

Take a look at the instructions above: :)

There's a 4.7.0 ?

/me Goes off to look .......

Apparently so...

Could someone please post a link to the latest version of FlashChat before I lose my mind? Thanks.

Here ya are, v4.7 at: http://www.tufat.com/script2.htm

This is unrelated to this mod, I just wanted to post this problem I've been having so people will know it's NOT the mod, okay? :)

I installed the newest version of Flashchat yesterday morning and started experiencing problems seeing people who had logged into the chat before me (I could only see people and their posts if they logged in *after* I did). After a lot of poking around I found that the problem was with Firefox, not the chat, and not this mod. Flashchat tech support has suggested reinstalling Firefox and Flash, which I am going to try because I prefer Firefox and want to be able to use it with my board and with the chat.

I just wanted to report that in case anyone thought it was the mod. I thought someone had hacked the chat and done something specifically to my admin account to cause that, good to know that wasn't the case. And Paul doesn't need more people blaming his mods for weirdness on their boards, lol. :D

edit: Oh and, I did check out the most recent update to this mod, and the new thing that redirects people exiting the chat back to the forum, is cool, thanks!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm and the majority of my users are using FF. We are running this mod, FlashChat 4.7.0 and the who's chatting hack without any of those issues. :)

Yeah I dunno it was really weird. I just now reinstalled Firefox and Flash like I said I was about to, and NOW everything's fine. -_- So I dunno, I was just special there for a little while I guess. ;)

That's actually been part of all flashchat 4.x.x releases, and something I've always used. Someone mentioned it the other week and I realised that perhaps most people were not aware of it, so I decided to add it to the instructions when I next updated them. :)

i'm in the process of a fresh vB install, including the 4.7 FC - is this hack current to coincide with the recent release of FC?

It showing the flashchat inside forum, but in a new window, what to do for not open a new window and open the chat in the same where user clicks on the chat link?

I've replaced that

with that
and tried too _self by replacing _parent

Not exactly sure what you mean by that, but I'm running 4.7.0 on my site(s).

That code has nothing to do with it opening in a new window, you need to change back what you altered. How it opens depends on the link you created for it.

Thanks for your fast reply,
The link that I have create is:
Have to change the target?

EDIT,
yes, just modify the target with _parent and works in the same window.

Is there anyway to resize chat screen as in the same window with vbulletin header and footer?

If I understand what you are asking...Go into your admin panel, vBulletin Options, General Settings, scroll all the way to the bottom and you'll see "FlashChat Height". The default is 600, I *much* prefer 500.

NeitherSparky, Yes you have understanding fine, Thank you :)
GREAT PRODUCT! Thanks for sharing

Maybe I've overlooked this, but I have a small problem.

When a person who isn't logged into my forums goes to chat, it prompts them to log in, they can enter there username and pass and log right into chat, however this doesn't log them into the forums, so they only show up in chat.

How do I make it so that if you're not logged into the forums, you either don't get a flashchat login screen, or if you DO login to flashchat, it logs you into the forums?

You have not integrated Flashchat properly with vbulletin. You need to make sure the vbulletin36CMS is specified as your CMS system in Flashchat's config file.

This is in my config file.

when was this verified for 3.6.1?

Today.

Sorry, I misread your post slightly - if they are not logged into the forum, but go direct to flashchat, then what you will describe will happen. There is nothing you can do about that as auto-login requires them to have a valid vb sessionid, they won't get that until they login to vb. Flashchat cannot create vb session ids.

thnx Paul... any suggestions for my navbar code? the number of active users should appear within the parenthesis (which works fine), as it should if you're at forumhome, but doesn't (nothing) appears except for (), when your at any forumdisplay.

Wrong thread for that question really ;)

That total comes from the Who is Chatting code - by design it only runs on forumhome.

türkçe yardım edecek yokmu arkadaşlar kuramıyorum lütfen

Sorry, English only on this forum please.

Can you please explain what to change in each one? I'm not a coder by trade :)

Also what would be the exact link/code as well as I wish to add it on the forumhome too,
applied to a chat icon I have. Thanks Paul

any way to set what days flashchat is open? say only on sundays?

No, there isn't

I don't see that post on the last two pages, what was the question ?

Not sure what you mean ? - to open flashchat with this mod you call misc.php?do=flashchat

Is there any chance on expanding this with an alert when a budy is in the chat? So members would receive a pop up, when a buddy is in the chat.

Sorry, there is not really any chance of that.

Tried to fix the path, hmmm ...

As it says ;

First, thank you very much for this product, it is extremely useful.

I was able to get it all working fine except that I cannot get into the admin control panel. Each time I try, I get this:
Any thoughts? Thank you. :)

c

Installed, thanks to Paul. You da man! :)

Hmm, that's a bug.

Fixed - replace the 3.05 vbulletin36CMS.php with the 3.06 version, and re-import the product.

Is it possible to let guests acces the chat?

I already tried to change their group Id to the "normal users group", but flaschat is still asking for a password. Thats normal, cause the normal users need to login with a password.

So the question is: Can i let registered users login with password and the guests not.

If you have integrated it properly, forum users should not have to login, it's automatic. Integration does not allow guest access.
