I had the same problem, to fix it, do this.

FTP to your chat folder, and browse to /forum/chat/inc/cmses
delete the file named vbulletin36CMS.php file
look into the original chat folder that you downloaded, and browse to /inc/cmses and upload the file named vbulletin37CMS.php to the /forum/chat/inc/cmses folder, and rename it to vbulletin36CMS.php

Run the installer once again and since it will find your sql tables, just continue, and run through the installer with your settings.

Now go to the admin section of FlashChat, click on Configuration, browse down to the option that shows which CMS to use, and make sure you pick vbulletin3.6

Now go to your Usergroups and make sure the usergroups you want to have access, are set accordinly.

Give the above steps a try and it should work.

I know that this worked with one of your older hacks, and an earlier version of FlashChat. I moved the "chat" directory inside the "forums" directory, and reinstalled everything. It is all working properly now.

Thank you for your time and patience.

It may have worked for FC 4 in the past, but Im pretty sure it wont for FC 5. I think I'll just remove that variable at some point, as it should always be installed inside the forum folder.

Does anyone have an answer for me?

Hi, probably a noobish Q. but how can this work with 3.8.0 Beta 2?

is there any solution regarding this posting?

NOTE : The instructions below are now obsolete, as Paul has released an official v3.8.x version of this hack, see top of first post for the link.

This is an unofficial answer - i.e. I am not Paul.

I am just answering this, as it is bound to come up more than once.

There are 2 ways (tested with FlashChat 5 only, NOT v4.7.x):

Method 1: (vBulletin v3.7.x currently installed)

Install this while your vBulletin is version 3.7.x, then upgrade vBulletin to v3.8.0 Beta x/Release Candidate x/Gold.

Method 2: (vBulletin v3.8.x currently installed)

Edit Flashchat-vb-integration.xml.

Find this line:

PHP Code:

---

        <dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.7.0" maxversion="3.7.99" /> 


---

Replace with this:

PHP Code:

---

        <dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.7.0" maxversion="3.8.99" /> 


---

Then import it when Paul's instructions say to do so.

Both of the above methods work for me, as I have tested both of them more than once.

There is not fix, Guests cannot use an integrated chat.

Paul - got this working on 3.8, I get this though when I click "profile" in FlashChat

Can someone tell me if this Mod and FlashChat is difficult to set up?

The Mod doesn't look that hard to install, but my main concern is with the FC software.

Also, does it run ok with VB 3.7.4?

Thanks ...
