FlashChat AdminCP Menu

UPDATED

A huge thanks to Paul_M for his help with the corrections of this.

If you've installed this modification, please update with the new zip file.

Fixed -

• Admin can enter the path to their FlashChat folder in the vBulletin Options menu, under General Settings.

My first shot at adding something to vBulletin. Hope you guys like it. Click INSTALL if you do.

This adds the FlashChat Admin Panel to your vBulletin AdminCP menu for easy access.

I'll do my best to update this as I learn more. I've noticed some requests for certain things.

PLEASE NOTE: Download CMSadminflashchat.zip if you have FlashChat integrated into your vBulletin with a CMS. Download adminflashchat.zip if you do NOT have your FlashChat integrated into your vBulletin with a CMS.

Minimal support. Post in thread.

Instructions included in the zip file.

cool idea, it is showing in the acp but everything is getting an error:
The requested URL /chat/admin/botlist.php etc. was not found on this server.
My chat is on /forum/chat/admin/
Need I change the path anywhere?
Thanks

The path to the chat folder needs to be a setting as it varies from person to person.

would be a good idea coz my flashchat folder is in the forum root.

Well, I edited the cpnav_flashchat.xml to the correct path of my chat folder.

I would imagine that /chat/admin/botlist.php would be the correct path, as it was instructed for people to place the chat folder in their forum root folder.

Paul, you've been a great help thus far. Is there something I can do to better this issue? Or is this something that JUST varies from person to person if they upload the chat folder wherever they want?

EDIT - Would making the link /.../chat/admin/botlist.php work? It worked fine for me both ways. My forum is a subdomain, making it forum.yoursite.com. My chat folder resides within subdomains/forum/httpdocs/chat/

[Paul M]

Your setup is not typical.

For most people, the path will be /<something>/chat/ ( e.g. /forum/chat/ ) as they don't use sub domains. Also, some older installations will use a folder called flashchat as that used to be the default.

The simple answer is to have a custom setting (or phrase) that the path is stored in, then people can set it as required.

Works good, congrats on your 1st one!

I apologize for not realizing this. Paul, I might need a little assistance on this. Mind pointing me to any examples?

Here is what I did, if you look close, you will see how to make it work.

Look at my paths, then compare them to yours:

That only pertains to you. If you were to put /forum/chat/admin/msglist.php?{$rand} in there, without the http://thescambaiter.com, it would work for you.

The answer might be in the back of my mind. I may have seen something before that I could go by as the perfect example. But I'm at a loss as to where to find it.

I've been looking around into things. I'm kinda multi-tasking over here with my forum, trying to learn more about PHP, XML, MySQL, etc., and trying to make this work for everyone and anyone that downloads it. :ermm:
