FREE zz:FlashChat Drop in Flash Animated Chat Integration

No modifications to your existing forums!

This single file enhancement allows one to seamlessly integrate vBulletin 3 with Nik's awesome FREE zz:FlashChat PHP/mySQL Flash based GUI chat. zz:FlashChat supports flash smiley events, MP3 sound/music events, and flash animation events, private messages, admin login, and configurable reduced moderator login.

Online demo of integration is at (registration required - Try U: goner P: goner):

Naturally registration is required to see the chat. No email verification is used so you remain anonymous at my counter culture adult oriented site. Use a fake email addy if you please.

Obtain Nik's zz:FlashChat 3 beta 1.1 at: http://download.zehnet.de/ZZ_FlashChat_3_%5bbeta1.1%5d/

Install zz:FlashChat as per Nik's included instructions. The install need not reside within your forums tree. The database tables can also be added to your existing vB database and need not reside in a separate database. I cannot provide support for zz:FlashChat.

Obtain my vbulletin integration at: http://myganjagrow.com/download/zzchat_3_add_ons.rar

UnRAR the integration file "member.php" and edit all the paths to reflect where you installed vB and zz:FlashChat. Save and upload to your zz:FlashChat directory. Calling this script from within vbulletin will use the existing vB security to only allow registered vB members to join your chat. Chat member info is encrypted while in chat. Logged out/Unregistered users will be redirected to your forum registration page. Javascript pop-ups can be used to call the chat script. Index.php and login.php should be deleted from the chat directory to prevent back doors from remaining open.

I've also included a script that can enable you to display "Who's in Chat?" from any other vB page by calling users.php from the chat directory. I use it in the left sidebar at my forumhome: http://myganjagrow.com/forums/index.php

Please give me feedback and URLs if you install this. I'll try and work out the inevitable bugs.

Finally a great simple chat. I looked at the demo of the devlopers site instead of your online demo to get an idea, it was simple but still very nice

Krynel, if you download the RAR archive from the link in my first post you'll see that I've included a Who's Online script. Simply removing the query that pulls the usernames for the list will show only the number online.

Cool, thanks!

The look and feel of zz:FlashChat 3.0 beta is completely customizable, depending on your macromedia flash and php skills. I'm providing a nice fast download link for those of you that can't reach the german site:

Remember I didn't write the chat and cannot support anything other than the vB integration. Support for the chat is provided at:

http://download.zehnnet.de

Remember it's free, easy, and it works well with minimal bandwidth usage - typically less than 2K/sec per chatter.
Thanks.

@x3n0:
you have to attach the files of this hack to the first post. You are currently breaking the rules, and we will delete the thread, if you won't follow em.

thx

I've got the chat running, but how do I connect it to VB? I log into member.php but I'm not getting the vb around it like on your page.

[x3n0]

You'll need to customize the HTML included in member.php or use the template system.
