vBulletin Integration Introduction
Basically the module can integrate the chat and vBulletin seamlessly.

So what the module can add to vBulletin? It adds a chat button which links to a fabulous chat room, with multiple skins and multilingual support, written in flash or HTML/Ajax, and a visual setting panel, etc. Recent changes: the backend management is enhanced.

1. Chat Button
Firstly a chat button will be added to the top menu of vBulletin as the chat room entrance.


2. Auto-login

After installing the module, the vBulletin user database will be automatically immigrated to the chat room and auto-login will be enabled.

Therefore vBulletin users may click the "Chat"button or directly choose a chat room to enter, without being asked to login again.

3. Custom Settings in vBulletin ACP

Enter vBulletin ACP and you will find "123FLASHCHAT" tab in the left menu, click it to enter the setting panel of the module:


3.1 Server Mode and Integration URL

Here you may define the chat server mode (self hosted, TOPCMM paid hosting or TOPCMM free hosting), and get integration URL (if the first two server modes mentioned above).

3.2 Chat Status
The following data of the chat room can display on vBulletin index page to attract more users to join chatting.

Total rooms, total connections, online users
Chat room list
Online user list
The 3 types of data can be individually disabled to display if you need.


3.3 Various chat clients and different open modes

Three chat clients: flash client (standard, with full features), HTML/Ajax chat client (simple and neat) and avatar chat client (with walking cartoon figures).

Two open modes: embedded or popup.

3.4 Change size, language and skin
You can change chat window size, language and a proper skin to match your vBulletin.

Nine skins options are available:



4. Chat Admin Panel
Except the vBulletin ACP, the chat admin panel is also imported here for your convenience. Please be aware that the admin account here might be different to that of the vBulletin ACP.

Dear Jman,

You are right. At the moment, it is a little complex to change the skin colors. We are trying to improve this. Thank you.

There are way too many hidden surprises, read EVERY PAGE before you buy this software. Thankfully, I only paid $19 for one month and I can walk away.

Dear sir,

Please send a ticket to support@123flashchat.com? And you could also contact the sales you bought our chat from. They may solve your problems soon.

If you had sent ticket, please tell me your ticket ID, we have a process for quality assurance of our CS.

For the iPhone Chat Client Code, please open your admin panel -> Code Generator -> choose Html Chat, then Click Next to configure. It will give you the code instantly. Hope that can help you in time.

Hi topcmm, i have some questions:

- I am running vbulletin 3.8.5 . Which .zip file do i have to download? The one in post #1 or the one in post #4? BTW, the Zip file in post #4 does not include the XML module.

- I want to run the chat only on a pop-up window, and NOT embedded on index.php. Is this possible if i choose $running_mode = 3?

Thank you in avance for your help.

Yes, even the free hosted chat mode, you can run the chat only on a pop-up window, not embedded, actually it's a more popular one among all vBulletin users
