FlashChat : Integration upgrades for vBulletin.

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This originally made changes to add new facilities to your FlachChat & vb set-up. However, all the features added are now part of standard Flashchat (4.6.0 and above). This now just supplies the latest vb 3.0 CMS file, which depending on circumstances, may either be the same as, or newer than, the one supplied with Flashchat itself.

To install the latest 3.0 CMS file - unzip it, edit the usergroups access and options as required, and then copy the file to the ../chat/inc/cmses/ folder on your server.


Optionally, you can also edit inc\langs\en.php.

Finding ;

'banned' => "You've been banned",

and replacing with ;

'banned' => "You do not have permission to enter the chat",

* Version 1.82 was the last version of the old hack (for Flashchat 4.2.1 upwards).

History of the 3.0 CMS file

* v1.13 - updated vbulletin30CMS.php file for vb 3.0 and Flashchat 4.5.2+ this contains a fix for a cookie security issue.
* v1.14 - Added ability to login direct to a room using ../flashchat.php?username=_int_&room=n
* v1.15 - Alterations to caching code.
* v1.16 - Minor fix to Get User for membergroupids.
* v1.17 - Security (anti-hacking) code added (as supplied by Darren).
* v1.18 - Usergroup settings moved to top of CMS file.
* v1.19 - Fixed error message when accessing chat admin area.
* v1.20 - Default role changed.
* v1.21 - Minor bug fix to Avatar detection, login code changes, tidy up.

The answer can now be revealed - yes it will.

Hi All

I have just integrated flashchat, latest version and used the integration provided in the install. I have also used Pauls mod re usergroup permissions, but im can not find how to access flashchat user admin within vbulletin.

When I go to the flashchat admin then log in I get this message when clicking on users.
This option is not available when FlashChat is integrated with a custom CMS (content management system).
Please use the user administration tools which come with your system to add, edit, or remove users.

where do I go to get in to admin within vbulletin.

Thanks in advance.

Dave

There is no flashchat user admin when integrated - the point of integration is that it uses vB's user list/table.

Hi Paul

Thanks, what about the mod the you have done to deny/allow access for usergroups, where is the admin to confiqure this.

There isn't any - you have to edit this section of the CMS file ;

PHP Code:

// Set Allowed groups 
if (in_array(2,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_USER; 
if (in_array(7,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_USER; 

//Set Staff groups 
if (in_array(5,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_ADMIN; 
if (in_array(6,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_ADMIN; 

//Set Banned groups 
if (in_array(8,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_NOBODY; 
if (in_array(9,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_NOBODY; 


Each number is the vB usergroup number (i.e. 6 = admin group).

Thanks Paul,
Cant believe I'm so stupid,

In the default user what should it be, I guess also I can add lines for other groups. Also I cant seem to see any rooms or a list of users currently in chat on the right hand side.

I did the changes now all I get is a blank white page, it worked before. So I must have hosed something up any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. :ermm:

[Paul M]

Well that meas you broke it - as you have no links to your site in your profile I can't look.

One thing - in the flashchat config file, set debug = true, this will help find the error.

[neofootball]

Paul, ck you PM.

[A.Ah]

is there anyway to have users auto login
