Flashchat integration with vBulletin 3.5

Note:
The latest versions of Flashchat include my integration as part of the standard Tufat supplied files - including the vBulletin 3.5 CMS file.



vB 3.5 integration allows ;

* Authorised members to be automatically logged in.
* All non authorised members are locked out (both are based on usergroup membership).
* If enabled, the users location is now displayed in WOL (use the plugin to avoid "Unknown Location").
* The CMS file no longer requires your vb licence code to be entered.
* Automatic login now works even if a member has not ticked "remember me".

Also ;

* Real ip detection when a proxy server is used (only if the proxy server passes on the details).
* Permanant, Private Rooms are loaded by Admins (and moderators in 4.5.0) (allows for Staff Rooms).


More notes:

* This integration is for Flashchat versions 4.7.0 upwards, support for versions prior to this has been withdrawn.
* If you use non standard usergroups you will need to edit the CMS file to give them permission to enter the chat.

[high]The CMS file assumes that you are installing Flashchat in your forum root folder - this is the same folder as your usercp.php file and includes folder. Installation will fail if you do not do this.[/high]

Support: Please check any file edits carefully, and make sure you have uploaded any edited files to the correct location - the vast majority of problems reported are due to an error made in editing [or uploading] a file. If you are still stuck and want me to take a look then feel free to PM me your site address, an admin user, and ftp access details, without these I cannot help you. I will then look as soon as I have time.

Finally, I am not Tufat.com nor anything to do with the Flashchat product - if you have questions about Flashchat in general, their forums are here.


History:

2.53 - Support for customer role added.
2.54 - GetUser caching added.
2.55 - Lastactivity update added, caching altered to match main flashchat code.
2.56 - Support for 4.5.x photo feature added with choice of avatar or profile picture.

2.60 - Added the ability to login direct to a room using ../chat/flashchat.php?username=_int_&room=n
2.61 - Changes to User and Role Caching.
2.62 - Minor fix to Get User for membergroupids.
2.63 - Security (anti-hacking) code added (as supplied by Darren).
2.64 - Usergroup settings moved to top of CMS file.
2.65 - Fixed error message when accessing chat admin area.

Use javascript code for a popup window.

Go to AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar and look for (at the VERY beginning of the code):

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function log_out()
{
	ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
	ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";
	if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
	{
		return true;
	}
	else
	{
		ht[0].style.filter = "";
		return false;
	}
}
//-->
</script>
After it, add this:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
function newWindow() {
chatWindow = window.open("location of flashchat.php", "chatWin", "width=900,height=600")
}
</script>
PLEASE take note, in the above code, that YOU must enter in the location of your flashchat.php between the quotes ("location of flashchat.php"). You can also change the width and height to your liking.

Then place your link in the same template (navbar). Use the following code:

Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="javascript:newWindow()">FlashChat</a></td>

Does this hack really do anything? Maybe the newest ver of flashchat makes this hack unneeded?

I installed flashchat and it was integrated automatically.. I followed your instructions on what to do, and nothing has changed.. I expected to see an ACP settings to change themes/skins/bots... What exactly does this hack do?

*EDIT* N/M.. My bad.. I just now noticed this..

Note:
The latest versions of Flashchat (4.4.x and above) now include my integration as part of the standard Tufat supplied files. However, the currently bundled vB 3.5 CMS file is v2.47 (v2.54 in FC 4.5.0 or v2.56 in FC 4.5.2) - the latest version available here is currently v2.56. This hack also includes the Who's Online (WOL) Plugin.
Well done on the hack.. I think it now has the lastest version packaged though

Yes it does, I will update that message. There is a v2.57, but its not released atm as it's waiting for some changes to other flashchat files. So to answer the question - the only thing extra that this provides [atm] is the WOL plugin - as everything else from this hack is now supplied as standard by Tufat.

FYI, I do have some plans to enhance the integration now that Tufat include my original basic stuff - this will include setting usergroup access in the ACP rather than editing the CMS file, and possibly some of the admin functions in the ACP as well. ATM, time is the constraint on these.

when i originally installed flashchat i setup a separate usergroup that vb users had to be a member of to use the chat. anyway, i forgot where and how i did that. it works fine, its been working fine for along time, but i want to change which groups can access. ive searched the inc/cmses/ vb* files and i dont see a refrence to the group id that im using. i found the arrays that allow access to the default groups, but they dont show the special group i setup. any help in refreshing my memory about how i set this up is appreciated. thanks.

Assuming you are using vb3.5 then the groups are set in the vbulletin35CMS.php file.

Is the flashchat demo room not working, or is my browser just hosed? I get the loading screen, then just a big blue graphic.
