Flashchat Integration for vB 3.5 · **Released**: 06-28-2005

This modification is no longer available or supported.

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* This integration is for Flashchat versions 4.7.0 upwards, support for versions prior to this has been withdrawn.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.

Nevermind what I said earlier Paul, i figured it out!

I have one question. This isn't really related to this hack but where can I find the Flashchat commands that my moderators/admins can use to ban people, etc or if that's not how you ban people, how do you do it?

Tulsa · #**213** 10-09-2005, 02:49 PM

type /? in chat for a list of the admin commands. /?all for a complete list.

Unclear as to where to upload the chat folder. Do you upload it to the root or the forum directory???

Thanks,

Not really sure what you are saying here, but the instructions are correct.

You need to be logged into the forum using the remember me option, flashchat relies on your cookie for auto login.

I'm havin some problems here.

I'm getting the no permission page when I try to get into the chat or the admin page, But if I remove the code from step 3 I can get into chat. so I know I have permission issues, just not sure whats wrong.

This is what I have in my vbulletin35CMS.php file:

PHP Code:


			
// Set Allowed groups 
if (in_array( 2 ,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_USER; 
 
//Set Staff groups 
if (in_array( 5 ,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_ADMIN; 
if (in_array( 6 ,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_ADMIN; 
if (in_array( 7 ,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_ADMIN; 
 
//Set Banned groups 
if (in_array( 8 ,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_NOBODY; 
if (in_array( 9 ,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_NOBODY;

I'm the #1 user and Super Admin, so I should have permission. Anyone have any clue?!?

From post one ;

The supplied 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.

What usergroups are you a member of (primary & secondary).

Yes I did, I just didn't have time to start paging backwards to see what it related to.

The installation process is not something of mine, the only thing I can think of is if you have broken the CMS file somehow. The answer is the same as everyone else really (I'm going to add this to the main post I think) - if you want me to take a look then feel free to PM me your site address, an admin user and ftp access details, otherwise I cannot help you. The nature of 99% of problems means seeing the files etc is the only way to fix them.

Ok....to clarify....I have linked a button on the navbar of my forum. I have remember me set in the VB 3.5 forum......I click the button and chat launches in a new window......and I get the login box (previously the user just entered straight into chat). Once I re-enter my username and password I proceed to chat with no probs.

So its recognising the cookie but doesnt carry it from the forum to the chat?

I have the forum cookie set to remember me and dont have to log into the forum when I get there.

Cheers,
