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* This integration is for Flashchat versions 4.7.0 upwards, support for versions prior to this has been withdrawn.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

You seem to have added an htaccess login to your ACP, so I can't get into it.

[FLMom]

That's odd, I posted a short message about the new flashchat 4.7 release. I wonder where it went?

[Paul M]

Try looking in the right thread

[Lionel]

Permissions work perfect, however, please how can I display vb no permissions message instead of as per attached image?

[Paul M]

You can't, there is no such option - and there is something amiss with you flash as that should be a login page.

[shaynehammy]

Sorry where is the option to turn WOL on or off?

Thanks

[Paul M]

Can you be more specific, do you mean the vbulletin WOL in general, or something else ?

The non-English user names display correctly.
For your references.

Fix the user name problem.
Really thanks !!!
I love youuuuuuuu
