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.

Thank you,

If you are using the "Who is chatting" addon, the HTML markups work there. Inside the chat, it's just impossible.

Paul, need another help here.

I'm not really sure if it is covered by Tufat's support or your script.

My problem is, custom usergroups I create are unable to login into chat. I checked the config if there is an option for usergroup chat access but its not there. I remember in the installation however that you get to set usergroup numbers at one section - which exact file whould I be looking at to allow custom usergroups access to chat?

Have you installed Flashchat? If yes, have you input the proper settings in chat/inc/config.php?

I had a quick look at the flash chat fite Tufat.com for some reason the forum page did not seem to work.

In any event can someone please answer some questions for me please:

1: Do you have to install the marcomdia Flash plugin toyour browser for Flash chat to work ?
and what if new users to your site do not already have it.

2: Is it limited to 10 user per chat room. Some of the information I saw on tufat.com seemed to suggest it was limited to 10 users per room only.

Please let me know Ernest_Harold_Brant@Yahoo.co.uk

If you could email me I would be grateful Thanks

This works wonderfully. One problem (for anyone willing to help). When I set a room to private and I try to join the room via the method above, it joins a room called "[null]".

Is there a fix to make it join the proper private room?

Thanks in advance.

There can be numerous reasons, impossible to say without ftp/admin access.

These are Flashchat support questions - but briefly - 1. Yes, 2. That's a config setting. Also, JFYI, I don't reply to any support questions via e-mail.

Again a Flashchat question really - but I would guess that Flashchat does not allow direct access to private rooms (if it did, they wouldn't really be very private).
