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.

What hacks need installing before installing this hack?
These hacks need to be installed in this order and working correctly, for this hack to work.

1. Tufat's FlashChat v5.x.x
2. Paul M's Flashchat 5 Integration for vB 3.8 v3.8.002
3. Then install this hack.

This should not be happening, as over 600 installations of this have never come across this problem.

[s]To help you further I will need to take a look at your installation.

So, if want me to take a look then feel free to PM me your site address, an temporary Super Administrator user account (it has to be that, so that I can check on Administrator Permissions, I can also sort out the other permissions I need from there) and an ftp account, without these I cannot help you. I will look when I have time, and even if I have a look, I can not guarantee that I will be able to fix it, if your site is not in English (I only read/write in English), but will definitely look at it, so it is up to you what you want to do. You can always remove the temp admin and ftp accounts after I have helped you out.

Let you know what you decide.[/s]

EDIT

I see you are having a problem with Paul M's integration - As noted here, and you posted to his thread after I had replied to this problem.

Once you have that working and if you are still having a problem with this hack, then post back here, as the first post states what needs to be installed and working 100% before installing this, and Paul M's integration is obviously not (and you stated in post #9 that it was working).

I tried uninstalling the 3.7.3 version and have this left in my adminCP:

*[flashchat_admincp]*
*[flashchat_messages]*
*[flashchat_rooms]*
*[flashchat_connections]*
*[flashchat_bans]*
*[flashchat_ignores]*
*[flashchat_bots]*


How do I get rid of it?

vb3.8RC1 won't allow install of Paul M's Flashchat: Integration for vB 3.7 v3.7.009 which is a prerequisite to installing this MOD.

The error message is:

The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 3.8.0 Release Candidate 1 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.7.0 / Incompatible with 3.7.99 and greater)

How should I go about it?

Follow the instructions I posted in his thread to get it to work - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=417

If you have any problems with Paul M's hack, then post in his thread in future please, not this one.

If you need support, information (how it works, how to install it, errors with installation etc) in regards to FlashChat itself, then you need to ask your questions on the official FlashChat forums - tufat.com.

How can I move the FlashChat navbar item to be listed under Community instead?

I am not quite sure what you are asking. Can you clarify please?

Currently you can have a FlashChat link in the vB navbar and/or in the Quick Links dropdown. I'd prefer to be able to add the FlashChat link to the Community dropdown menu in vB 8 to help keep my navbar clean.
