The problem with the hack seems to be down to the fact that 4.0.1 now uses it's own table prefix system with vB - as well as the vB table prefix system - and to make it worse, there is an error in the CMS2 file as well. The default prefix they use seems to be "flashchat_", but you will find it in the config.srv.php file as below ;

<?php
	$GLOBALS['fc_config']['db'] = array(
		'host' => 'localhost',
		'user' => 'sqluser',
		'pass' => 'password',
		'base' => 'database',
		'pref' => '',
//		'pref' => 'flashchat_',
	);
?>

Try the following experimental fix and let me know how it goes.


Find this in the Hack Code ;

PHP Code:

// ############# Paul M - Flashchat - Who is in the chat v2.00 ###############

$chatlist = $DB_site->query("SELECT connections.userid, connections.roomid, rooms.name, rooms.ispublic, connections.start, 
user.usergroupid, user.displaygroupid, user.options, user.username, groupa.opentag as opentaga, groupa.closetag as closetaga, 
groupb.opentag as opentagb, groupb.closetag as closetagb
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "connections as connections
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "rooms as rooms ON(connections.roomid = rooms.id)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user as user ON(connections.userid = user.userid)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup as groupa ON(user.usergroupid = groupa.usergroupid)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup as groupb ON(user.displaygroupid = groupb.usergroupid)
WHERE connections.userid IS NOT NULL ORDER BY start" ); 


and replace it with this ;

PHP Code:

// ############# Paul M - Flashchat - Who is in the chat v2.05 ###############

require_once('./flashchat/inc/config.srv.php');
$fcprefix = $GLOBALS['fc_config']['db']['pref'];
$chatlist = $DB_site->query("SELECT connections.userid, connections.roomid, rooms.name, rooms.ispublic, connections.start, 
user.usergroupid, user.displaygroupid, user.options, user.username, groupa.opentag as opentaga, groupa.closetag as closetaga, 
groupb.opentag as opentagb, groupb.closetag as closetagb
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . $fcprefix . "connections as connections
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . $fcprefix . "rooms as rooms ON(connections.roomid = rooms.id)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user as user ON(connections.userid = user.userid)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup as groupa ON(user.usergroupid = groupa.usergroupid)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup as groupb ON(user.displaygroupid = groupb.usergroupid)
WHERE connections.userid IS NOT NULL ORDER BY start" ); 


Works great perfectly
However where it says

PHP Code:


require_once('./flashchat/inc/config.srv.php'); 


Should read

PHP Code:

require_once('./chat/inc/config.srv.php'); 


FlashChat 4.0.1 uses a folder called chat now instead of FlashChat. any new people that will use this hack will run into a file error if it is not changed. Either this, or it can be made a note in installation to change this variable to your directory .
Great job Paul
