Flashchat: Who is chatting

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This is a simple ForumHome display of who is currently using your Flashchat.

Version 2.20 is for use with Flashchat 4.1.x - however, it may work with older versions of Flashchat if set-up correctly.

The main features of Version 2.xx are ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home with the "Users online" display.

2. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number.

3. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc should be displayed correctly. (based on the display usergroup)

4. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the room they are chatting in.

5. If the chat is empty, a simple "no one is chatting" message is displayed.


Note: This will not display the names of any bots in the chat, due to the strange way that flashchat stores this information.


With help from Cyricx a CPMS module is located in this post. (Version 2.20 only, unsupported - use at your own risk).

Why have you posted this exact question in two of my threads - it has nothing to do with my hacks.

I've integrated flashchat with vbulletin 3.0.3 and I'm adding this hack, but after step 1 in the instructions where index.php is modified, I upload and refresh my forum page and see the following at the top of the page.

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'arob42@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /chat/inc/classes/db.php on line 15

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /chat/inc/classes/db.php on line 16

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'arob42@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /chat/inc/classes/db.php on line 15

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /chat/inc/classes/db.php on line 16

Is it trying to access my vbulletin database using arob42 as my userid? This is only part of my userid, but it has been truncated. Anyone know what might cause this? Shouldn't the userid be fetched from config.srv.php?

Also, does this even work with 3.0.3?

Thanks,

No, if it's integrated correctly, the userid, password and database are pulled from your vB config.php.

Those errors are from the flashchat code, not vB. What version of Flashchat are you using, and which CMS file ?

[arob42]

I'm using flashchat v4.0.12 and vbulletinCMS.php. I've modified the vbulletinCMS.php file with my license number, and I removed the 2 blank lines at the end of the file. I verified that when I'm logged into my vbulletin forum I enter straight into the chat room, and when I'm logged out I am prompted for my username/password when accessing chat. It will take my vbulletin username/pass at this point and I'm back in chat. My chat directory is located at my forum root, as per instructions, not the website root. I removed the flashchat databases and reinstalled everything but still get the same result. It's probably something stupid I'm doing but I don't see it yet.

Sorry, but I would need to access your server files to see what is going on - it makes no sense at all.

I don't know why 4.0.12 has caused this to happen for some people - but there is no requirement for that bit of code to actually be called, it's just a side effect of calling the flashchat common.php - I have altered the code to avoid this now anyway, new version v2.25 uploaded.

Okay, Paul, I finally switched it long enough to get the error...here it is:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'kathyssi@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /flashchat/inc/classes/db.php on line 15

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /flashchat/inc/classes/db.php on line 16

I have checked, double checked and triple checked and the login info for the database is the same in the old db.php file as it is in the new one. Any idea what's going on?

Thanks!

See the post above yours, replace your code with v2.25 and hopefully the problem should go away.
