Integration with vBulletin - Flashchat Integration for vB 3.5

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Flashchat integration with vBulletin 3.5

Note:
The latest versions of Flashchat include my integration as part of the standard Tufat supplied files - including the vBulletin 3.5 CMS file.


vB 3.5 integration allows ;

* Authorised members to be automatically logged in.
* All non authorised members are locked out (both are based on usergroup membership).
* If enabled, the users location is now displayed in WOL (use the plugin to avoid "Unknown Location").
* The CMS file no longer requires your vb licence code to be entered.
* Automatic login now works even if a member has not ticked "remember me".

Also ;

* 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 in 4.5.0) (allows for Staff Rooms).


More notes:

* This integration is for Flashchat versions 4.7.0 upwards, support for versions prior to this has been withdrawn.
* If you use non standard usergroups you will need to edit the CMS file to give them permission to enter the chat.

[high]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.[/high]

Support: Please check any file edits carefully, and make sure you have uploaded any edited files to the correct location - the vast majority of problems reported are due to an error made in editing [or uploading] a file. 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 then look as soon as I have time.

Finally, I am not Tufat.com nor anything to do with the Flashchat product - if you have questions about Flashchat in general, their forums are here.

You'll need to use the integration instructions listed at the top of this tread provided by the master Paul m. after you do that it will work I assure you. It worked for me just follow the directions to the letter.

Working and installed on 3.5 Gold, latest version of FlashChat.

I just have one niggling little problem, when a member leaves FlashChat they still remain in the FlashChat list and on the Who's in Chat on the forums, any ideas or settings I may need to change?

[Paul M]

This is because they don't log out properly, but just close the browser. It mainly affects non IE users (see posts 150 & 151).

[nine45]

Thanks for that, sorry I should have looked closer at the posts, the user in question is indeed running firefox.
