Hey Paul,

Im not really sure if this issue I'm experiencing is with Tufat or your script but heres the scenario:

I wanted to make it so that my members are able to idle inside chat and not get kicked off automatically. So I went ahead and edited config and assigned InactivityInterval to 24*60*60. I tried if it works and it seems to be working great for me (Admin). However, it seems like my members are still being kicked off from chat every 15 minutes or so of inactivity.

Is this something with regards to the usergroup settings of the integration?

The integration does not affect flashchat timeouts, only permission to use the chat.

Does this allow users with no posts to still be able to enter chat? I'd like to set it up so they need a certain post count to be able to access the chat room.

Nope, access is controlled by usergroup only.

Paul, I've posted a problem on tufat and was told I might have better luck finding you here. I really could use some help if you have an idea what's going on. thanks so much!!

cool

There are many reasons why that might happen - please refer to this message in the main post ;

Thank you, Paul. I've PMed you.

You have a very unusual problem - basically related to how php is setup on your server. For some reason your php is not recognising the utf8_encode() function, which is pretty much a default function these days, I've never seen this before. I've had to comment out some lines in the CMS file to bypass it, you should be ok now. You might want to ask your host why they have such a bizarre set-up.

I recently upgraded to 3.6.7 PL1 and in an attempt to fix a couple of other issues, I reverted a couple of my templates. In doing so, I lost the CHAT and VBGarage links in the nav bar at the top of my forums.

I do still have a link to Chat in the Quick Links and at the very bottom of the index since I'm also running the "Members who are using flashchat" hack.

I am running 3.52 and I reloaded the XML with overwrite checked in an attempt to fix this without any luck.

Is this a simple fix?

Chat does work, but without the main hyperlink in the navbar, I don't think many members will use the feature as it's a lot harder to find.

Thanks,

Matt.

EDIT - Nevermind.....found the fix
