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* This integration is for Flashchat versions 4.7.0 upwards, support for versions prior to this has been withdrawn.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

Replace the code in badwords.php with this and it should be ok.

PHP Code:


			
// Dummy badwords //

$GLOBALS['fc_config']['badWordSubstitute'] = 'dummy';

$GLOBALS['fc_config']['badWords'] = array(

    'dummy' => 'dummy'

);

I'm a bit confused. You say to "Upload the product via the Product Manager using the supplied XML file." Do you mean the "Manage PRODUCTS" or "Plugin MANAGER" option?

Also, is there an option on the admincp to set up any settings?

This one is different than the hack I used in the past.

Thanks!

1) I have installed the flashchat integration and it all works fine overall EXCEPT for the WOL status... I get an error as follows in the status readout.

Unknown Location /vb3/cmps_index.php3 @ 12:33 PM

I thought I edited everything ok....any thoughts?

2) I have noticed that just dismissing the chat window doesn't seem to remove the user from chat...is this correct? i.e. If I dismiss the chat window then the status still shows that user logged on to chat. Maybe this is a flashchat issue.

THANKS FOR A GREAT ADD ON!

Product Manager = Manage Products.

Nope, this has no settings to alter.

Yes, it's nothing to do with this hack, that's a cmps problem.

Mr. Marsden, you are not a Master Coder....
You are a god. :speechless:

I just went straight with your integration hack, and it works like a charm. It doesn't seem to like noppid's integrated page, and I'll let him know. But now my gang can curse their black little hearts out. THANK YOU!!!! :banana:

Hello!

My english is not very fine, but i try to explain

When i want to make a shout directly to a user, i click the avatar in front of the nickname in the chatterlist. Then there is the nick in the text-input-field and i can make a shout to the user.

It looks like:

Quote:

hubix i give you a shout

But i want a @-character below or in front of the nick, so that it looks like:

Quote:

@hubix i give you a shout

In which file i got to add the @-character??

I hope you understand me!?!?

thx and greetz
hubix

You need to ask this in the Flashchat support forums.

Overall it works well. I did have to update functions_online.php to recognize CHAT in WOL though. There is one annoying thing that is a problem with flashchat but it show up in the integration. Users must LOGOUT using the flashchat red button. If a user dismisses the window under Windows, the logout doesn't happen and the user still shows as logged on.

This is a poor way to handle this IMHO.
