Does anyone know if this works for v4.1?

waiting to hear reply to onehost's vB4.1 question

Im running vb 4.1 as you can see and this works fine although rolling back to FC 5 seems to be less buggy in my opinion

youl see it working fine on the site

username: msn
password: pass123

try it

thanks, I'll go check it out ;)

ok, I see how it works now, pretty much the same as it does on vB3.8
I wish it had the same options as the chat on Facebook and AOL/Aim, if you saw someone online, you just click their user name and send a message to talk live

you can send someone a message via a seperate message "outside" of the main room if you like thats already within the software :)

Important Note:

I no longer use Flashchat (and havent for over 18 months).

The development and support of Flashchat at Tufat.com appears to have died in 2010 - the site owner has not been seen for almost a year, and even the developer who took over F/C version 6 has not logged in for at least two months. The last [beta] version was 6.0.8, released in June 2010.

Therefore after almost 6 years of supporting Flashchat Integration with vBulletin, I have decided I can no longer support my Flashchat modifications. I do not have it installed on my test sites anymore.

Anyone who wishes can of course continue to use them, and they should continue to work quite happily in 4.1 [for the moment]. However, any future issues caused by vb style or code changes may break them, and will most likely remain unfixed.

Hey Paul, Understood my friend. It is a shame.. This was one of the best chats out there for barely any money at all.. I will miss this in the upcoming versions of VB..

Thanks for your work!

I am trying to install this on a clients site and I have installed flashchat about 100 times with no problems.. This time I cannot even get the install to work.. He has an older version of php but supposedly compatible..

I was going to try an older version of FC.. You mentioned 5?? Do you happen to have a copy or do you know where I can find 5??

Thanks

Hello Paul,

If you don't mind sharing, what are you using in place of FC if anything? I'm in the market for other options as well.

AK

There is nothing to share, I no longer use any chat system. No one has missed it.

The main issue for me with trying an older version is the cmses file for 4.0... Is there another one that will work for installing FC5? I am working on writing a cmes file but buy would it be much faster to find one already written for FC5 and 4.1..

Aky... There are not many other options that are in the price range. I have tried virtually all of them. There are a couple here though on VBorg that have integration mods and if you are willing to pay for the premium chat those are not bad..

I can't remember right now but I think addonchat is one.. I would spend the money..

In actuality FC is a resource hog and is not so secure sometimes either.. If you are willing to spend a few bucks there are far better chats than FC.. For the price though FC is tops..

The CMS file for 4.0 will work on 4.1, and on FC5.

I think I got it now but the problem I was having is that, for starters the admin page would not allow me to log in..

It appeared that I was logged in but it would not allow me to see the page and it keep asking for log in..sort of like what happens when you have a cookie issue with vbulletin.. The chat page seemed to work but not much else..

You are using the original cms that came with 6.0.9 in FC5?

Paul, just curious, which bugs are you talking about that are in 6.0.8 that are not in 5??

Thanks for your time friend..

Richie

I almost have this set..working on vb4.1 using fc6.0.8.. My current issue is that I can log into FC using the fc users created during install but the chat will not let me log in using vbulletin user.. when I try to open chat through VB it is giving me the incorrect username or password message.

By the way--this is not the auto log in issue..Even when I try to log in manually it does not see members data..

I will be eternally grateful if anyone can straighten me out..I have never had these problems before and I believe I have this installed on other 4.1 sites..I just don't know why I am having these issues.

Thanks,
Richie

Does the flashchat also bring that IM bar on for the bottom of the screen?

Hello,

I have 2 questions..

#1 - Which files need to be writable during the FC6.0.8 install?

#2 - Which PHP additions are required for FC6 to work? Or what are common missing additions that would make it not work?

I have installed FC for many clients and have always gotten it working until now. I am trying to do a VB integration but I cannot even get the chat admin going..

I used binary and registered users option.. I go through the process but cannot access admin after install..

When I go into database and check cmses it shows me default and not the one I selected..vbulletin4..This is why I believe permissions need to be adjusted..

A couple other strange things are going on as well. The main install page is showing php4.## when the actual version is 5.##..

FYI-The chatroom will open itself, not using vbulletin..I believe it will work fine once it sees the proper cms file. I can go into the chat and use the log ins created during install..when I go into the admin.php it shows me as logged in but every time I check a setting it tries to make me log in again.

Can someone spare a second or two to answer??

Thanks

If this is outdated Paul, can you please suggest something that is a bit more dated, that doesnt cost an arm, a leg and your first born?

My users miss this but the whole pop up log out think was causing conflict with users blockers and its to difficult to weed through that when they all tell me the dont have PB's installed. very frustrating having to truncate the DB table all the time. I tryed to get them to use the chat box channels but its a no go. LOL

Sorry, I dont use any chat system now, so Im not familiar with any current ones.

bummer.... Thanks anyway!

If Tufat springs to life again, will you have a change of heart? LOL I've used your flash chat mod for years and years!

Yeah, its over six years since I first released the mods for vb 3.0.

Sadly Im afraid that even if Tufat did suddenly pickup again (which seems unlikely) then its very doubtful I would carry on with the mods. Ive long since stopped using chat systems.

I made some theme changes in the admin control panel and after clicking save, my chat page gives me this error: Flashchat does not appear to be correctly installed.

There is no flash chat loaded. How can I fix this please?
It doesn't work in any browser.

Flashchat does not appear to be correctly installed.

not work vb.4.1.2 ??

Nothing in 4.1.2 would stop this working. I suggest you make sure you have actually installed Flashchat correctly.

As it says ;

Hello Paul M

Please guide me how to fix this issue

Easiest way to remove them is to put the forum in debug mode, you will then have the option to delete them.

I am new could u tell how I set forum in debug mode

I've installed this multiple times and I'm confident its been installed 100% correctly.
I run vBulletin 4.1.2.

Flashchat may work, it may not. As soon as you edit the style or anything, it will then fall over telling you it isnt installed correctly.

Cannot fix it no matter what I do. To make matters worse, it won't uninstall properly so can no longer install a fresh copy.

I wouldnt bother with this as its obviousally unstable.

I try debug mode
but don't know how to do I want more help to uninstall this mod properly
$config['Misc']['debug'] = 1;

This what I enter my config file
Please give more details how to reverse database changed made on this hack

I'm getting this same error when I try to access through the misc.php?do=flashchat&room=1 url. Strangely enough, it worked once through that url--but when I went back a second time, I started receiving the error. FlashChat still works fine when I access it directly.

Any ideas on how to fix this are appreciated. :)

auto login no longer works in 4.1.3 .. oh well :D

Im not aware of any change in 4.1.3 that would break it.

am getting Incorrect Username or Password error paul

Paul M please help to remove forum is in debug mode

Thanks I fixed my issue

As I said, Im not aware of anything, but since I no longer have it installed anywhere I cannot test or check it.

aye cool paul never expected help as read the addon wasnt supported by you any more, cheers :up:

"FlashChat was unable to detect your MySQL login setting from the vBulletin 4.0 configuration file. "

I saw that one other person has this error. Has anyone else sorted it out? My users use the hell out of my chat room, and there doesn't seem to be many other options out there.

Installed this and very pleased with it. I'd like to add a button above the navbar next to where the "Forum" and "What's New" button are. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Hm, still getting the unable to detect settings error.

- VB 4.1.3
- Uploaded FC6 chat folder to forum/chat
- Uploaded the CMS file from this installer (tried it with both, actually)
- Ran the installer
- Clicked the CMS integration box
- PHP 5.2.17

Not sure what I'm missing. In the integration notes it says to put your license information in, but it's for old versions of VB3 and I assume it's outdated. (Plus, I don't see an option in the current CMS file).

I haven't tried directly inputting my DB settings into the CMS file for fear of hosing things. Anyone else have luck getting past it?

Edit: Actually I found the answer here.

http://forum.tufat.com/showthread.ph...ghlight=detect

Adding that line to the .htaccess file in /forum got past Step 2.

However, now I get the following:

Which is fixed by dropping all of the old flashchat tables before re-installing. Edit: And it works!
