Integration with vBulletin - Flashchat Integration for vB 3.5

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* This integration is for Flashchat versions 4.7.0 upwards, support for versions prior to this has been withdrawn.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

Hi.. all working... checked & verified...great stuff!... now the bad bit... the really annoying arse of a bit... the bit that makes you wanna grind your teeth and get nasty with cute fluffy things.... that is : why did you leave the install instructions at step 5?... its like.... everything is installed... product uploaded, usergroups checked and.........? - Step 6...wheres that?... have i missed something?... let me clarify... now i assume the plugin is for WOL locations... i thought it may... like.... erm.... place a link somewhere on my forum home template or navbar...something like an actual link to the flashchat.php? - i got a nice link for the ACP to the FC admin... brilliant.... so whats missing?... i've searched high & low on my forums for a 'Chat' or a 'Chatroom' link.....is it in the footer? NO... the navbar? NO... the header maybe...? NO! - is there anything in your instructions about placing a link to the script? NO... what about the first or second post of this thread? no...?... come on... you gotta be joking... i assume somewhere in this 58 pages there is some info...but anything i search for brings in a huge amount of threads... when it should have been there in the first place...

yes i do know how to insert a link to this in the navbar...but thats not the point... i suppose this mod makes the FC screen appear in some nice template with the forum header and footer right?... any info? noooooo... ok i'll have a look again... but mary munkey jesus... im tripping or you need to sort that simple thing out dude really.... sorry for sounding an arse... but it's bloody annoying...

anyways im using the header/navbar/footer vB page mod with this and thats ok...i'll simply create a link where ever i need later on...

But as i say i think the instructions stopped short....
