Flashchat integration with vBulletin 3.6

Note:
Standard Flashchat includes a version of my vBulletin integration as part of the Tufat supplied files - including a working vBulletin 3.6 CMS file. However, the standard files do not include Direct Usergroup Integration or other extra's like the WOL Display & Flashchat on a vBulletin page. This Integration Mod adds those features


Standard vB 3.6 integration features

* Authorised members are automatically logged in.
* Automatic login works even if a member has not ticked "remember me".
* All non authorised members are locked out (this and the above are based on usergroup membership).
* If enabled, Flashchat updates the users session location (displayed in various vBulletin online location displays such as WOL).
* 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 (allows for Staff Rooms).

Extra's added by this modification

* Direct login to a room.
* The WOL will correctly display Flashchat as the location (not 'Unknown Location')
* Flashchat can be displayed embedded inside a 'standard' vBulletin Page (i.e. not full screen).
* Direct Usergroup Integration - a section is added to each usergroup in the ACP Usergroup Manager to set the Flashchat permissions for that group.
* The plugin will try to automatically add a link to Flashchat in your Quick Links or Navbar - this feature can be disabled if you wish.
* The automatic link can have a prefix path defined - useful if you use something like CMPS.


More notes:

* This integration is for Flashchat versions 4.7.x and above.
* The automatic link feature may fail if you have customised templates.
* For Flashchat inside a vBulletin page you need to link to .../misc.php?do=flashchat
* This modification does not add any links to Flashchat Administration in the ACP.
* You can set all members to login direct to particular room via the ACP.
* You can also add a room parameter to the url - i.e. .../misc.php?do=flashchat&room=3
* 3.56 onwards has extra code to cope with VBs CSRF protection, which interferes with profile linking (vb 3.6.10+).

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.

Support: Please check the instructions, and make sure you have uploaded any files to the correct location - the vast majority of problems reported are due to an error made in editing or uploading files. 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 look when I have time.

Finally, I am not Tufat.com or Flashchat Support - if you have questions about Flashchat, their forums are here.


To use the this upgraded integration simply download and unzip the file, then follow the instructions in the text file. Once installed, the Flashchat userlevel options for each usergroup will appear in the ACP usergroup edit screens - editing of the CMS file will no longer be required.

Just if you want it integrated with vBulletin so members don't need a separate user name and password, have to login separately, and things like that.

Paul first I would like to thank you for this hack
Second I have A problem maybe you could help me with.
I installed the flach chat first and it worked i was able to log in manually with my user name and pass now I installed the hack and its not working
I checked all of the following twice
I edit the CMS file to give all the proper groups permission to use the chat.
Im using vb 3.6.4 vb and 4.7.7 flash chat.
I installed Flashchat in your forum root folder.
And i used your latest version of the CMS file.

but no mater wich way I go to the flash chat it ask me to log in and when i try it says incorect user name or password.
any I deal what the problem could be? I would asume the flash chat is installed properly cause i was able to log in as an admin befor i installed the hack.

Doesn't sound like it was working ok to start with - otherwise you would not get a login screen, you would log in automatically.

In the Flashchat config.php, what do you have in the CMSsystem setting.

I believe "vbhacks at marsden-family.com" works.

Thats ok, were removing FlashChat. Slow to no responses on programs main website forum and our CMS is saying that it has vulnerabilities, plus this:

http://securitydot.net/xpl/exploits/...0/exploit.html

Seems too risky for me

I found this in another thread

It has nothing to do with vb integration, and was fixed almost three months ago in Flashchat version 4.6.2.

Also, it can only be used if you have register globals enabled in php, which is another well known security issue that your host should fix.
