Does it work out of the box with FlashChat 5.0.X and vbulletin 3.7.3 yet?

I have one simple question and this is not directed at Paul M specifically, it is a general observation.

This vBulletin.org forum has people who make mods/hacks for the feature lacking vBulletin with the features it should have.

Simple enough.

Why all the mystery on some easy steps on what to do to install the programs?

Seriously.

Just say, >go to. Admin Control Panel>Forums and Moderators> ...... etc, like that.

I have no idea how to integrate flashchat into my forum, stepswise.

I.E: Admin Control Panel>Add On... etc.

Simple and makes sense, but not everyone already knows how.

To tell someone go to another board or forum is strange.

Why all of the secrecy and getting mad, when someone asks for help on how to install a program, that I am sure many members spend countless hours creating?

I don't get it.

Simple answer for you. Not everyone has the time or has a clue about "coding etiquette 101". So their instructions lack in many ways. When you train professionally you learn how to communicate clearly by marking up your code with clearly labeled tags and instructions. Many lack that kind of schooling.

Also, it is poor etiquette to hijack a coder/designer's thread like you have with a completely off topic post! Two wrongs never make a right! Either ask about the mod posted here for free or don't post at all! So please have respect for Paul M here and his work as well as all the other coder/designers and return to topic. :D

AFAIK, Tufat have still not added vBulletin 3.7 to the Flashchat 5 package, but they will be.

I get the option on flashchat install to either use a stateless or registration option.
Obviously I want it to integrate with the forum users - if I chose the first, the user goes in as "_int_" if I chose the latter I have to register - what should I be doing?

Thanks.

Oddly other users seem to have the correct nickname, just not me the main forum admin

We're getting the "security token is missing" error when trying to view a user's details. When will a fix be out for this?

Thanks!

When Tufat decide to fix the basic error - or I have time to check if my fix still works on FC 5.

Yeah and I posted over at Tufat and their mods said I had to post here and that Darren had to fix it.

Do they not support their own software or what?

Thanks!

The "fix" in this mod still seems to work fine.

I buy tha flashchat FlashChat_v508 all me members can login normal as they say but i can't login to the flashchat i enter with my pass and nick and i see a blue screen not flashchat

if you want login details tell me to send them via pm...

I was just wondering, those who have FlashChat .
Does anybody know if there is a way to somehow allow users with X amount of posts to enter the chat?

For example someone needs 5 posts to enter chat.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You would have to use multiple usergroups and vb promotions based on post count.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the "fix".

Thanks!
Buster

Ok right...

Could you please give me a more detailed answer

Like how will i make the promotions system work with your FlashChat addon?

I get the same error :(

The fix is to install this modification.

Sorry, I cant, that is beyond the level of support I can provide with this mod.

When my users login to flashchat they are all just hung in chat - full room but nobody can see anyone else. Also, there is a user with no username in there. Has anyone experienced anything similar after installing flashchat for vb 3.7.3 and this mod?

Can Someone please help me. ( Paul )
I know this isn't a support thread for flash chat bit you all seem to have it installed and working.

Vbulletin 3.7.2
Fresh Install 5.0.8

I cant get this thing installed correctly i have tried everything for like a week.
I cant progress past step 2 without these errors:

When i use default 5.0.8 flach chat (tufat) cms files:

When i use pauls cms files.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have all sorts of problems.

One - I login and my nick is _int_
Two - the admin pages (another plugin) just show
and the don't allow you to anything
Three - The "who's in flashchat now" (another plugin) doesn't show my nick, and show's the wrong nick for other people logged in.

I have installed this.

Im the admin on my forum, it works for me.

But when my users try and use the chat it says incorrect username / password .... how can i fix this????? thanks paul

Without knowing what is broken I cannot possibly tell you how to fix it.

new install of flashchat 5.08 Integrated with vbulletin 3.7

Im the admin on my forum, it works for me.

But when my users try and use the chat it says incorrect username / password

Please read the section on "Support" near the bottom of the main (first) post. :)

Pm sent paul

In the flashchat integration section it says:

vBulletin: Please input your vBulletin license number in /inc/cmses/vbulletinCMS.php (for 3.0.3) or /inc/cmses/vbulletinCMS2.php (for 3.0.7) before running the installer.

I opened that file, and I am un-able to figure out where this information goes. Could someone please point me to where it is?

That advice is ancient and no longer relevant.

Hey I have installed flashchat fine, but wen i go to import the product for your mod, it jus hangs on Setting CMS settings.... what should i do?

Hey Paul, I get this error when i import the XML file.

any assistance? Thank you

I got the same thing as well (just now)

Then I am simply stumped.

When I go to import the product, it just displays:

Importing Product, Please Wait...

[:]
Setting CMS value

And absolutely nothing happens. Yes, I checked CMS Integration when I loaded flashchat. Yes I uploaded the files in the correct locations...... Any thoughts?

Hmm, its a bug.

I didnt realise I was using a setting from the "Who Is Chatting" mod, so if thats not installed, it would trip up in the install code.

I've uploaded a modified version as 3.7.008.

Thank you. Works fine now :)

MUCH better, thanks!

So.... (may have been covered already)... Is there a setting to allow chat to open in a new window still?

Paul any chance on getting you to help soon with updating my vba mod now so I can have it support Flashchat 5x?

THANKS!

There is no such setting in this mod.

Paul, there seems to be a serious permissions Bug:

Usergroup A: User Level Access = Yes
Usergroup B: No Chat Access = Yes
Usergroup C: Banned From Chat = Yes

User foo is primary member of usergroup A, secondary member of usergroup B and has usergroup C as infraction group.

Expected Result
User foo is banned from chat

Actual Result
User has normal chat access

This does not take any notice of infraction groups.

I know. This bug is causing me a lot of trouble as the infraction system does not work as expected.

When will the fix become available?
