Chat Modifications - Flashchat 6 Integration for vBulletin 4.x

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.

Hi guys hopefully someone can help

1st of all thank you for this hack. But.... Theres always a but

I have installed Flashchat to my test board and it is accessible from wxw.myforum.com/chat/flashchat.php# all works fine apart from the autologin.
I have installed this product and now I have the permissions section and it auto adds the link to the dropdown list.
All is good untill I click on the link to take me to wxw.myforum.com/misc.php?do=flashchat and all I get is a site map list of links.

I have also installed the admin intergration mod and that seems to work fine. its just the wxw.myforum.com/misc.php?do=flashchat that doesn't want to play ball.

Can someone tell me what I have missed?

Mark

Edit: just to say I have also just installed your " who is chatting" mod and that is work fine aswell

No, that error suggests you have not actually installed Flashchat.

When i click on the Flashchat link in the community drop down list all I get is a page that looks like a sitemap What i dont get is a chat box on a vb page. hope that makes sense.

It is on my test board but i can open it up for a min for you to look HERE


Edit:1
Ok I have just been having a play and it turns out that
/misc.php?do=showsmilies
doesn't work on my site either! so it may not be a problem with the install of this product looks like something to do with the misc.php not working properly.

Edit:2
Ok Sorry Paul it turns out that "Vbadvanced" is to blame. I disabled it and my "misc.php" pages work fine including the flashchat one. I guess I will have to go and find out how to sort that one.

Cheers for the great product.

Edit:3
Ok final edit just to let you know it was a problem with vb advanced and I have now sorted it

[LadyBeth]

How do I integrate this like the way this image depicts?
