123FlashChat integration with vb 3.7?

[sweeps78]

Has anyone here successfully integrated 123FlashChat with vBulletin? I got it running on my server and it works incredibly well, but once I tried to integrate it into my vBulletin software for the auto-login and statistics, I can't seem to get it running. All it does is hang on the Logging In screen

thanks

Why not directly ask the people from 123FlashChat ? After all, the 3.6 mod was made by them

I am asking them as well. I was just wondering if anyone here had any thoughts on what could be wrong.

I'll post back in this thread once I find out what was wrong.

Does anybody has a soluton for 3.7 how to integrate it? The mod they offer to download does not work.

Same problem here. I installed the demo and got it going fine. The intergration is the bummer. And the tech support told me its $100 for help on getting it working with VB even after i told him its says all over the site it integrates seamlessly with VB. Even if i bought the $200 software hes said i cant help you i have others to help.
Very rude and kept telling me to buy a bigger package and he would help me. I got all the chat logs to this up. Im very unhappy with the support there. The tech i got was "bamboo". :down:

It was actually quite easy once I went back and really studied their documentation. There are many smaller steps that are easy to miss if you're not careful. Be sure to read all of the docs before you attempt to integrate, as there are other areas of information that you need to cover in order to integrate the software into your vBulletin forums. It's not the best documentation, but I've certainly have seen much worse.

123Flashchat turned out to be very helpful, so long as I asked questions relevant to their documentation and not just generic "how do I do this" questions. You just have to be very specific and reference areas in their documentation that you are stuck on.

Can you assist me with integration ? I followed all the directions and still have no luck getting it to integrate like they say it does. Members still need to enter in their VB user names and passwords etc.

The same things is happening to me, I wish someone could help

Not sure if you're still having this problem, but if you look at server.xml (located in "<yourinstallationfolder>/server/etc/groups/default/"), you'll see the two elements below. Keep in mind though that you'll need direct access to your 123flashchat program files. If you're on a shared server chances are you don't have direct access to them and you'll need your host to edit these files for you.

<integrated-other-database>

<auth-url charset="UTF-8">

these both need to have the correct values. The correct values are:

<integrated-other-database>URL</integrated-other-database>

and

<auth-url charset="UTF-8">http://yourforumdomain/vbb.php?username=%username%&amp;password=%password %</auth-url>

After the values are properly set, your flashchat server needs to be restarted. If you don't have direct access to restart your flashchat server then you'll need your host to do it for you. If you do have direct access to SSH, then login and the command is:

./fcserver.sh restart

You'll of course have to issue the cd command to be in the correct directory (mine is /usr/local/123flashchat/server/)


Hope that helps
