Same here, none of my bots work :(

Ok, Thanks Paul.

In sendlogininfo.php - try changing

to

That should allow bots to enter.

Thanks Paul, I'll give that a try :)

Thanks Paul it works! :)

Ah, good. I'll update the release version then. :)

Ok, Cool. Did you add anything else or am I using the newest version?

That's the only change.

Does this work with FlashChat 4.2.1 (it just came out I think)?

Don't know, there isn't even an announcement for 4.2.1 yet - A quick look does not reveal anything that should be a problem - I'll take a proper look later tomorrow.

I haven't had a problem applying and using these mods with 4.2.1. I purchased and install 4.2.1 last Friday.

Ah good, that will save me the trouble then. Thanks. :)

Thanks! :)

There is actually a minor change in Flashchat 4.2.1 - therefore this hack has been updated to version 1.82.

I've made all the changed but running instal give a blank page :squareeyed:

Running install ?

You should install Flashchat first and confirm it's working before making these changes. :)

Thanks Paul,

It worked fine for me. :)

In the current installation instructions are items #5 and #8 the same thing?

So they are (were), duplicate step removed. Thanks for pointing it out. :)

Is there a way you think (anyone) that I could make Flash chat pop up from a users profile so the two can talk or sing in instantly... and doing this for say multiple sites?

If not then just the IM pop idea... thanks

The patch proved very helpful in muzzling an obnoxious troll.

I ran into him during a session inviting users to test FlashChat and he asked to be reinstated from a ban... and he pointed out that as a banned user he could still post in the chat.

I have no idea what has happened but the right side column under "Who's in live chat" has disappeared (the $chatwho part).

I did not modify anything at all but it was there the whole time today. Very strange.

Any ideas? I checked the code, still there ($chatwho)

This is the full home page code

You probably made the same mistake I did in this section of code...

I did not cut and paste the top line "function getRoles($usergroupid) { "... I guess becuase its above the comments I did not notice it. It will give you a blank page with no errors. Hope that helps.

I have the same server setup and I'm migrating from vBChat to Flashchat (because of vB-3.5) and wondering if I'm heading in the right direction. I have over 500 active users and 3500 signed up. I'm curious if vBChat had this 35 crash limitation. We have used it for a few months and knew it was buggy, but it worked and served a purpose. No one appears to have approached the subject of rating chat room add-ons for vBulletin.

Installation Mistake: vBulletin 3.0.8 - Version 1.82

Instructions: Step 3. in inc\classes\sendLoginInfo.php
What I find in the unmodified code is:
Notice that there is one less } in the unmodified code.
What happens is the flashchat hangs on the blue background screen after login. If I put this code back to original, flashchat functions. If I mess with taking out a } after the modded code, it also functions, but I'm just not completely sure what to do now except dig in further.

My final code:
Notice that I took out the last } (there were four there.)

Sorry but you are mistaken, a mistake that several seem to make.

If you look carefully at the instructions you will find that the sql ends with "ORDER BY created" , while the section of code you have highlighted as found ends with "ORDER BY ispermanent".

The correct section of code is in fact the next few lines below what you have listed, and has three brackets at the end - the replacement code has four brackets. The instructions are correct. :)

Thank you for the correction. One can be overwhelmed during a 2AM installation. :o

Although the chat worked with my erroneous mod as shown, it trashed the room list in the right hand panel. Take that as a tip-off for repeat offenders.

Without removing the } as I did, the result is a blank screen showing the background.

Also, I have run into a potential open door, which I will PM to you.

I know about the problem you mention, you will get a login screen in some circumstances - but just to be clear - it is a Flashchat problem and I have no connection with Tufat or Darren (who writes it). Personally I bypass the problem by renaming the affected folder. :)

Hello Paul, where is the original code for the first install of this, not the upgrade.

Thanks

How do i allow custom usergroups access to chat.

Id does not transfer the login information either, prob somthing stupid ive not done

http://www.tufat.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8990

In inc/common.php define your new user ROLE.

In inc/layouts copy user.php into newuser.php

Edit newuser.php with the settings for that user.

In inc\cmses\vbulletinCMS2.php define your new ROLE and its groups.

Your mileage may vary. I am a hacker, not a coder.

I installed Flashchat 4.5.4

And i tried to do the first step find
$this->ip = ($args['ip'] == null)? $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] : $args['ip'];

in connection.php

But its not there :(

HELP

Can we restrict certain usergroups from using installed modules as well such as video/audio??

Well it does say this version is no longer actively supported. :)

The instructions are way out of date, since most of the stuff has now been added into the native flashchat files by Darren. I'll give them a quick going over and edit out the bits no longer needed (which is actually most of it).

Hi,
I installed flashchat 4.5.5 in my vB 3.0.5 and all works fine.
Only the autologin feature is not working for me.
vb is in domain.tld/forum
flashchat is in domain.tld/forum/flashchat

But when going into the chat all users must login again. It is indepented of logged-in status in vb.
any idea what is wrong?

I have the same problem Tom. Can anyone give us an answer.
I've installed the latest update, and like Onkel Tom states.... All is working fine except that all the users need to log in again, but whats worse is they can use any name they want. Also the chat is accessable via the path from outside the site, by just adding any name and password.

Thanks in advance for any help offered,
WR
