The software just hangs after it does the run through checks:

http://www.freelunchroom.com/index2.php?pageid=chat

Any ideas?

Is there a way to capture and post the content?

I mean, say for instance post the daily log of the chat as a NEW THREAD

Nope, there is nothing available to do that.

I saw on tufat there is a integration page which mentions a table:

[prefix]conversationlog

http://www.tufat.com/docs/flashchat/integration.html

I would think maybe it would not be too hard to hack something that would periodically post the contents of conversation log as a THREAD

:confused:

Cyb - ChatBox

I think I'll just try this...
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177552

my wishlist was:

- very simple install / maintenance
- developer is active
- archived content for search engines

I think this will work, not sure, but looks promising... I'll let you know!

How is that relevant to Flashchat integration ?

If you want to talk about another mod then please start a thread in the relevant forum, not the support thread for an unconnected modification. Thanks.

This used to open within the forum where I still had my breadcrumb navigation available. Now it opens up very large in its own window. How can I make it so it opens up within the site like before?

Thanks!

I narrowed it down so now I know that it is a subgroup. I have a donators group and if they are in that group they can't use it...it just hangs....any ideas?

Sorry, but I could spend all day guessing and still be wrong. Please read the support notes in the main post.

Hi Paul :)

I just got finished talking to my host. I have been getting alot of "max user connection" error messages, and they were looking into the problem, and they said they think the chat is causing the max users to not be cleared when they should. They singled out the following code as the source of the problem:

I'm not sure if this is the problem or not, but for some reason my user connections are not being released when they should. And the result is I max out the user connections available. I noticed this problem occuring after installing chat a while back. Any ideas, thoughts, or help here? :)

Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work. :)

Flashchat is a known heavy user of mysql.

FYI, for Flashchat support you need to post on the Tufat forums. :)

This is a great addition to my forums! But I was wondering if you could add something into the Flashchat template for browsers that cannot understand iframes:

Hi Paul, its regarding that security token problem again. I believe its the same problem occuring to us all. Have you got access to any of the website and check the problem already?

Ok, thank you Paul. I'll go check out their forums. :)

There is no problem if you use the latest version (3.7.005), and its set-up correctly.

So what's the verdict on this?

Nope.

Either use the direct flashchat page (../chat/flashchat.php) or a browser that supports iframes (what obscure browser doesnt btw).

Well, I'm just saying. It's not like I - or any webmaster - can control what kind of browser members choose to use (without imposing incredible restrictions that would be unattractive in every way).

With that said, I think a simple addition like that would be more user-friendly.

An example of a browser that does not support iframes would be a mobile browser. I know it doesn't make much sense to use FlashChat on a mobile device, but I know that won't stop anyone from trying.

As for those browsers (IE included I believe) with internal options to restrict iframes, a user or firewall may set it to not allow iframes for security purposes. If this is the case (or any other case where iframes are not enabled), the users will just see nothing - no explanation, no alternative. If it happened to me, I would know where to go to still use FlashChat, but with plenty of new members each day, I doubt even 10% of them would know where FlashChat is installed by default.

does correctly means doing those optional steps in the instructions?

You don't have to follow the optional instructions. Step 3 (optional) just makes sure that whenever someone wants to close the chat, they'll pop back to the forum index. Step 4 (optional) just shows a more appropriate message to members that are not allowed in the chat room (based on usergroup permissions).

I did everything correctly and installed the mod to be able to gain access to the chatrooms admincp through the vbulletin admin cp, Yet whenever i try logging in, it tells me the database doesnt exist

Could not grant admin role for this login and password. Table 'site_forum.flashchat_users' doesn't exist

Any ideas?

There is no access to the chat admin via the vb acp unless you have added a mod to do it.

Sorry if this is a repeat or a dopey question - I read loads of pages but didn't come across the answer and don't want to assume in case I goof something up.

I have FC and your previous version installed and I upgraded to 3.7.1 - all seems to be working just great apart from when we click on the profile link we get a missing security token error. If I run this new one will that be fixed?

Thanks, Paul!

Edit: It's okay, I've figured out that I'd better run this if I want other hacks to work. :D Thanks anyway.

Hi Paul, I had v3.55 installed on VB 3.6 and all was fine.

I am now on 3.7.1 and flashchat FlashChat v 4.7.12

I have some problems now and wondered if anyone had similar problems or should I just start everything from scratch and reinstall flashchat.

Trying to enter chat from VB as an admin all i get is the chat background.

Using the same computer with a user account I get the chat integration but I get a login box and have to login to the chat instead of automatically because it says incorrect username or password. I can login with the details manually though as a user and all is fine.

I don't really want to start again but is that my best option?

Hi Paul,

My group has a couple custom usergroups. In the 3.6 integration, there was a box like this that allowed me to set the permissions:

In the newest version, this box is gone, and it appears that the software is supposed to figure it out somehow. Unfortunately, it isn't. The admin group number 11 isn't being picked up as an admin group. The program admits them to the chat room as users, but does not give the admin permissions, and does not allow those users to log into the chat admin panel, either.

Any thoughts on how I can correct this?

Thank you!

Read the first post ......

Hello again Paul,

Thank you for your quick response.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the mod, but simply do not have Usergroup controls in the ACP for flashchat.

Is there something else I can do?

Thanks!

Then I would guess you have not uploaded the bitfield file to the correct place - vb should pick it up automatically.

Doh. All fixed.

Thanks for the great mod, and thank you for the help!

Getting a security token error:
VB 3.7
Flashchat 4712
flashchat integration 3.7.005

While in the chat room, click on a members name, go to profile and my members and I are getting this error:

Then you have missed doing something, most likely you are not using the latest cms file.

Ok 2 things:
1) What is the difference between: No Chat Access and Banned From Chat?
2) What happens if more than 1 permission level is selected? (I.E. No Chat Access and Banned From Chat are selected or Administrator Level Access and Spy Mode are selected)

1. The message they receive on the sign in box (and priority, see below).

2. There is a priority order, the highest one will be used, from low to high the order is ;

noaccess > user > customer > moderator > admin > spy > banned

I also noticed that the code for spy access got lost from the CMS file when I updated it for CSRF, I have added that back and updated the zip file.

Thanks updated all working great:up:.

Got this isntalled yesterday -- Paul you did a great job. The odd thing is, the Quick Links dropdown menu now looks... well, mutilated? I don't have Flashchat's quick link option disabled but the "View user profile" link that was part of Quick Links is now blank as well as the search link in the navigation and there is no FlashChat link displayed.

There are also a ton of n00b questions I would ask but I'd rather get acclimated to the system through trial and error... except for this QUick Links SNAFU. I'd appreciate help on that one. Thanks.

Sorry, guests dont see quicklinks so I cant tell you anything. I could guess that maybe you are using a custom style - try it with a default vb style, it should be fine.

i've a couple of custom styles installed and i see everything ... :p

Hi Paul, i did the upgrade but im still getting the security token error, this is the only place i have this error on our forums, just with the profile link in flashchat.

Craig

Then you have missed something.

Hello there, i just installed your mod
And would like to know, how do i hide the chat room from guests, meaning, when they click "chat" if they are not logged in, to get the vbulletin error message.
But mine just takes them straight to the forum chat.
Is there anyway i can hide the main chat from guests till they register?
Thanks
