Yes.

I really need some minor help before I pull my hair out.

Your hacks above has added a link under the Quick Links in the navbar for FlashChat (right under buddies list) See image..

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...9&d=1160386579

I have been searching for about 3 hours trying to find this code, with no luck. Maybe I am missing something simple, maybe I am stupid, but I am ready to give up.

The navbar was still in it's original state (not red) at the time, BUT yet the link is there in the Quick Links navbar. I have since added code to the navbar pasted below.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function log_out()

{

        ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");

        ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";

        if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))

        {

                return true;

        }

        else

        {

                ht[0].style.filter = "";

                return false;

        }

}

//-->

</script>

I am simply trying to change it so that it opens in a new window. i know the code to add, but can not find the misc.php?do=flashchat anywhere.

I have changed the other two links (Who is in Chat and Who is online), but this one has avoided me.

Please, can anyone help a guy out?

You won't find it in the template, it's added 'on the fly' by the plugin.

So how can i change it?

I tried editing the xml before improting it to add the _blank code, but it gives errors on the forum home page.

Ok, I purchased, downloaded, and installed FlashChat v4.73 according to the Integrating FlashChat documentation that came with it. All went smoothly and it worked just fine.(i.e. Step 1 of FlashChat-vb-integration.txt file)

Then, I came here and downloaded this MOD and followed it's FlashChat-vb-integration.txt file...

Performed Step 2, by editing & uploading the vbulletin36CMS.php file.

Performed Step 3, setting 'url' => '/forums/index.php?'
(Note: My board is installed in a 'forums' directory)

Performed Step 4 edit as denoted in the text file.

Performed Step 5, selecting Allow Overwrite = Y

Now, whenever I try to go into CHAT I see a new msg in RED that reads:
"To login as an administrator, moderator or spy, please use the passwords found in FlashChat's configuration file, with any username." on the Welcome to FlashChat v 4.7.3 login page.

Before, when I would click on the 'Start FlashChat using built-in login' button I went right in. Now, it no longer works. Instead, I go to a 'Please login to the chat' screen.

I read thru the config.php file under the 'Roles config' section and tried logging in using the adminstrator password denoted there, but still to no avail. I can't get logged into CHAT no matter what I try right now.

Lastly, I'm using Miko's ARIA Skins (from vbstyles) and my QuickLinks button on the navbar has changed. Before, it functioned as a drop down. Now, it reloads the entire page and moves the SEARCH function one place over to the left, adds mark forums read & open buddy list buttons and the Quick Links button itself disappears...but no CHAT button shows up anywhere.

Anyway, does this MOD force the admins/moderators to login with a new/different password, and does it have to be that way?

Any feedback on what's gone wrong would be appreciated. Thanxx.

Check what CMS system you have specified in Flashchats config.php, sounds to me like it isn't vbulletin36CMS.

I didn't know you had to specify one. :confused: Anyway, did so just now and that managed to get me logged in...to something.

Before, I got a blue flashchat screen when I went in. Now I get a mostly all black screen for about 3 seconds, and then in turns white. Not like any Chat I've ever seen.

When I use my browser's back button and then check the who's logged in feature, it says I am logged in...but again all of FlashChat's normal look is not there at all.

I think a big part of the problem is, I misunderstood your instructions in the Flashchat-vb-integration.txt file. For instance, where you said:

Step 3. (optional)
Edit ../chat/inc/config.php

I edited the copy that came with FlashChat on my local HD and then FTP'd it up to my site. In doing so, I'm guessing I've overwritten the 'good' file that was left there by the FlashChat install process.:tired: So now, no tellin' what all I'm missing besides the vbulletin36CMS file specification you denoted.:confused:

Is my best bet to just remove FlashChat altogether and reinstall it again? Then, when I get to your part of the integration I'll know this time to copy down what I have from the server, edit it, and then put the files back in place.

Re-run the install, it won't harm anything, it will detect you already have the tables installed.

Well, this just gets stranger and stranger...

To install the newer v4.73 of FlashChat I followed their docs and they recommended renaming the current CHAT directory to something else, then installing the new version into a CHAT directory. That way if something went wrong, it would be easy to swap back over to the one you knew ran.

As such, I had renamed my original install to chat_v462 and then uploaded the CHAT directory just as directed. On my first install, everything when just perfectly.

Then admist all this, I re-uploaded the install.php file and install_files directory (since I had deleted them upon completion) and re-ran the install. Everything worked just like it did the first time, and I can get into FlashChat again...but it's version 4.62, not v4.73?! WHERE did that come from? No idea, so I deleted everything and reinstalled again. v4.62 installed and works alright, once again. I deleted everything this time, my old v4.62 directory, my new CHAT directory, everything. Tried again, and low & behold v4.62 is what's installed.

I'm using SmartFTP and thought I just didn't understand how it worked, so looked in the options and made sure it was set to overwrite ANYthing that existed. Deleted everything once again, and then re-uploaded the CHAT folder to the server, ran the install, worked fine, and yet I ended up with v4.62 yet again!? Arrrgggghhh! I'm SURE I'm uploading the v4.73 files, so somehow I must have some old files remaining on the server. How do you surely get rid of any existing files on a server in a case like this??

Delete them.

The version number is taken from the config file, are you sure you are not using an old config file ?

Also, I'm not sure this is really relevant to this modification, and therefore not the best place to be discussing this.

Just so you don't feel alone, I did the same thing once when I wanted to update my config file. Not knowing what else to do, I had to reinstall everything.

We all live and learn. ;)

Bingo, We have a winner! You are EXACTLY right Paul.(see below) Thanxx!

Code:

'version' => '4.6.2', //architecture release . feature release . patch release

Understand, sorry about this getting offtrack from your MOD, but maybe it'll help others who ever come up against the same issue.

Thanks NeutralizeR....I'll check in at times to see if you or anyone else has a fix for this. ;)

Sorry for the delay in responding.

I don't get much of a chance on the weekdays to do much, so I have to reply on weekends.

In response to my issue in post #242

You asked hat i edited to try and make the page open in a new window.

Well since i could not find the edits in the navbar, and you said it's added "on the fly" my old other step was to edit the xml you created.

Code:

<plugins>

                <plugin active="1" executionorder="5">

                        <title>FlashChat Integration (1)</title>

                        <hookname>parse_templates</hookname>

                        <phpcode><![CDATA[$search_text = '$vbphrase[open_buddy_list]</a></td></tr>';

$add_text = '<tr><td class=\"vbmenu_option\"><a href=\"misc.php?do=flashchat\">$vbphrase[flashchat]</a></td></tr>';

$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace($search_text,$search_text.$add_text,$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);]]></phpcode>

                </plugin>

                <plugin active="1" executionorder="5">

                        <title>FlashChat Integration (2)</title>

                        <hookname>online_location_process</hookname>

                        <phpcode><![CDATA[if ($filename == 'getxml.php')

{

        $userinfo['activity'] = 'flashchat';

}]]></phpcode>

                </plugin>

                <plugin active="1" executionorder="5">

                        <title>FlashChat Integration (3)</title>

                        <hookname>online_location_unknown</hookname>

                        <phpcode><![CDATA[if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'flashchat')

{

        $handled = true;

        $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['in_flashchat'];

        $userinfo['where'] = '<a href="misc.php?do=flashchat" TARGET="_blank">'.$vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/misc.php?do=flashchat</a>';

}]]></phpcode>

                </plugin>

I tried the second green highlighted area, which helped the Who's online area, and I know the first green section is probably the Quick links area, but adding the target="_blank" to that gives me a syntax error on the main page.

thanks again for trying to help me out.

This is in regards to * For Flashchat inside a vb page

OK I have a question, I installed Flashchat then this Mod and they are working great together. I.E. no asking to log in twice, etc... that most seem to be having BUT..... It will not let me change rooms or even type anything if I use the embedded link (i.e. .../misc.php?do=flashchat) however I also have a custom link added to the Navbar of the non embedded link (i.e. .../chat/flashchat.php) as this is the only way we can use it at this point and the chat room works fine there. On the embedded link all I can do is Add a room, change options, and click on members names to PM them, view profile, etc, I just can't change rooms or type any messages into the chat room.... Any idea what is going on?

do you HAVE to have the CMS to use this integration? I Just have a normal forum and would like to insert a link in my navbar to it. Thanks

How do you integrate WITHOUT using a CMS and just a normal forum?

Just follow the instructions in the zip file.

So.... no one knows why Flashchat will not work correctly embedded into vBulletin using this mod. I run 3.6.1 and the most current version of FlashChat and this mod.

Again here is what is going on. You cannot change rooms (no drop down appears like you never clicked it at all) or type in the box to type a message when you use the embedded version (i.e. this mod). You can however, click on the user and get all their info (view profile, send pm, etc..) and create rooms.

When you use the non-embedded version everything works as normal.

There is no difference between embedded and not, they are the same page, one is just placed inside a frame on the page.

I'm trying to determine how to remove users from the chat. Not ban them, but boot them. I have users left over in the flashchat, and they are unable to log back in because it tells them they are still there.

Sorry, I do not support Flashchat.

I am well aware of that, the one that is in the IFRAME is not working correctly. You cannot click within the text area to enter text and you cannot get the change room menu drop down to change rooms. But you can click on the users name get that menu and click PM User (or whatever it says) and even in that window you cannot click in the text area to type a message.

However if you go to the non embedded one (i.e. the one that is not in an IFRAME) everything works just fine.

Now not all users experiance this. Some it works fine for and others (including me) run into the problem listed above. So any idea on what would be causing this? I thought maybe it was my flash player so I reinstalled and nada, got the same thing going on. I also tried this on my laptop and got the same problem.

Ok so I decided to clear my temp internet files and cookies, that did the trick...for once session. As soon as I went away from the chat room and then came back into it, it did it again, I had to re-delete all temp internet files and cookies, went back to it and it worked again, until I left and came back then same thing. And around and around we go. Anyone know why this may be happening? It only happens on the embedded page.

Sorry, no idea. Sounds browser (or browser settings) related.

I think I have figured out the problem. I switched to the default style and it works fine, I couldn't get it to recreate that problem. But I still don't understand why some are having the same issue as me and some aren't. I am using the Heavy Metal style. As is everyone else on my forum (they cannot choose between styles).

Ok so where is this hack located then? I thought it came with this mod?

i might have misunderstood your initital question. there was once a hack that put the FC inside of any vB page. the current version of Paul M's hack does this already. if you're not able to duplicate the problem on your custom styles, i would assume the problem is with the styles and not the hack.

Hi .. Tnx for this great mod .

i want guests can be login in Chatroom by just enter one NickName ( no reqistration reqired ) , is it possible ?

tnx

No, by definition, integration does not allow guests.

Hi Paul

Great Hack!

However I use vbadvanced and on the home page url it shows

.co.uk/misc.php?do=flashchat and cannot be found

whereas on the .co.uk/forum pages it shows

.co.uk/forum/misc.php?do=flashchat and takes you to the right page

any ideas?

Do you mean the link at adds automatically ?

yep only on the vbadvanced home page

i have tried adding flashchat.php and misc.php in the section

Quote:

Header Replacements
Here you may enter a list of filenames that may appear in your header that should be prefixed with your Forum's URL.

the link it adds in the /forum pages is perfect :)

The CMPS settings won't touch it, you will have to edit the plugin code.

Find misc.php and change it to /forum/misc.php

perfect - Thx Paul

Regarding my situation, I found the problem. At first we thought it was a style issue because on the default style it worked. So slowly I added all my hacks to the default style, one by one, to make sure it wasn't one of them causing it. Got them all added and everything is still working like a charm. Must have been the style right? Well kinda...I had added some script to the footer of the old style, but not the default one. I realized that today so I went to go add my script (it's a stats script) and the chat room came to a halt again. So I went in and removed the $footer from the flashchat template and just hand coded the footer in instead so that way I could still have the script on all of the other pages but not the flashchat page.

So if anyone every has the problem that I did (can't type in the text box, change rooms, etc....), look in your header or footer for any conflicting code.

Just thought I would let those who have been scratching their heads what the outcome was.
