Flashchat 6 Integration for vBulletin 4.x · **Released**: 12-24-2009

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Note: I no longer use Flashchat, and development and support of it at Tufat appears to have died in 2010.

vBulletin 4.x Version

Flashchat 6 Integration with vBulletin 4.x.x
Flashchat 4 & Flashchat 5 are not supported by this Integration.

vBulletin 4.0.1 broke the automatic login of vb members into Flashchat, this is fixed in mod version 4.0.5 onwards.

Note:
Standard Flashchat includes vBulletin integration as part of the Tufat supplied files. However, the standard integration does not include Direct Usergroup Integration or other extra's like the WOL Display & Flashchat on a vBulletin page. This Modification adds those features

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 automatically add a link to Flashchat in your Navbar Quick Links or Community Links - this feature can be disabled if you wish.
* The automatic link can have a prefix path defined - useful if you use something like vBA.
* You can define a usergroup to login as Flashchats "Spy" mode.

More notes:

* The automatic link feature may fail if you have customised templates (it uses template hooks).
* 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
* Spys can login into the chat but are not listed in the room - they cannot chat, just watch.

Note: This modification is not Flashchat - you must obtain and install that first - this is just vBulletin / Flashchat Integration. You must also install Flashchat into a folder called 'chat' in your forum root folder i.e. (/forums/chat/) - this is the same folder as your usercp.php file and includes folder. This modification will fail if you do not do this.

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

To use the this 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.

Support

This modification is not supported.
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.

Any chance to get this fixed with an update ? If you need access to my site, use the same account and login I?ve PM?ed in january.

Not sure if I will have kept them, but If I have I'll look when I get chance.

Not sure if anyone can help me, but I am trying to edit the flashchat template so that if the user is not logged-in it displays a simple text string instead of a blank chat area. I have played around with template conditionals, but cannot seem to get it to work.

Basically, I need the proper code to check to see if they are logged-in from within the flashchat template. thanks in advance!

Figured it out. I simply looked at how other plug-ins were implementing template conditions.

Here is what I ended up with, within the flashchat template:

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
<head>
	{vb:raw headinclude}
	<title>{vb:phrase flashchat_title}</title>
	{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}
</head>
	<body>
	{vb:raw header}
	{vb:raw navbar}
	<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0">
		<p>Please login above to view the chatroom.</p>
	<vb:else />
		<!-- main -->
		<!-- $Id: Flashchat-vb-integration.xml,v 1.15 2010/03/12 01:04:10 pem Exp $ -->
		<div id="fci_div" class="block">
			<h2 align="center" class="blockhead">{vb:phrase flashchat_title}</h2>
			<iframe style="border: 0px" width="100%" height="{vb:raw fci.height}" src="{vb:raw fci.fcpath}/flashchat.php{vb:raw fci.room}"></iframe>
			<div class="blocksubhead" style="text-align: center;">{vb:phrase flashchat_title} &copy; {vb:raw fci.year}</div>
		</div>				
		<!-- /main -->
	</vb:if>
	{vb:raw footer}
</body>
</html>

Dropped you a copy of the last PM.

I am looking to change the directory name of the flashchat script. How will that effect the "Flashchat 6 Integration for vBulletin 4.0 plugin?

Paul M · #**187** 03-15-2010, 11:34 AM

It will probably break something.
