Chat Modifications - FlashChat 5: Admin Panel Integration

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This hack has now been discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates as this thread is no longer monitored. I am also not interested in doing paid work requests to update this hack at all.


IMPORTANT NOTICE 2: This hack only works with FlashChat 5 and later versions, and will not work with FlashChat 4.7.x.
There is version of this hack that will work with FlashChat 4.7.12, and can be downloaded here.


What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr]
It is a update of my v3.7.x hack available here, with a couple of small changes.

This hack allows you to integrate the FlashChat 5 Admin Panel into your vBulletin Admin Control Panel, so all administration is done in one place, nothing more, nothing less. This hack does not in any way change the FlashChat 5 Admin Panel works, nor does it add anything extra to it.

It comes with Administrator Permissions, so you can limit which administrators you want to admin Flashchat via the AdminCP. You can even optionally remove FlashChat's own nav links - see the screenshots for comparison.

This is not a problem with this hack, it is just one of the many, many bugs in Flashchat 5, you could try this - http://forum.tufat.com/showpost.php?...57&postcount=3.

If that does not work, you can ask over at tufat.com, or install Flashchat 4.7.12 which is a lot more stable than the buggy Flashchat 5, and install the Flashchat 4 versions of the hacks from here.

You will then have to ask for official support for Flashchat you over at tufat.com, as that is not a problem with this hack, it actually a problem with Flashchat itself.

Flashchat 4 + your hack works perfectly. Thanks for Support!

Ive tried re-installing/upgrading this and it wont let install the bot feature or does it only work for version 4?

I am not sure what you are asking, but this hack has nothing to do with if the bot feature can install or not, it just allows the Flashchat Admin Panel to be displayed in the vBulletin AdminCP (with permissions) and nothing more.

If it is specific questions about the bots feature you will need to ask over at tufat.com.
