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* This integration is for Flashchat versions 4.7.0 upwards, support for versions prior to this has been withdrawn.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.

Thank you.

No. Flashchat has it's own admin system.

I Keep getting this error i keep changing it to what it says

Warning: main(/home/ausnrl/public_html/forums/../../../includes/config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ausnrl/public_html/forums/flashchat.php on line 7

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/ausnrl/public_html/forums/../../../includes/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/ausnrl/public_html/forums/flashchat.php on line 7

i tried
/home/ausnrl/public_html/forums/flashchat.php
/ausnrl/public_html/forums/flashchat.php

and i tried editing the xml

[DeepXP]

well, it looks like you have vriable vbpath as well as relative path added in the config.php path string...

try somehing like this...

PHP Code:

require_once '/home/ausnrl/public_html/forums/includes/config.php'; 


in your vbulletin35CMS.php file


or simply

PHP Code:

require_once $vbpath . '/config.php'; 


sine you have both in the forums folder.

Regards,
Deep

[ausnrl]

Now we get this error

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: statement in /home/ausnrl/public_html/forums/flashchat.php on line 19

[DeepXP]

okay to me it looks like that you have just copied flashchat.php from chat folder to main forums folder...

Copy whole chat folder as it is in the forums folder so your flashchat.php will be in forums/chat/flashchat.php

and then you can edit the path of forum config file in vbulletin35CMS.php as

PHP Code:

 require_once '/home/ausnrl/public_html/forums/includes/config.php'; 


Regards,
Deep

[Paul M]

Just follow the original instructions and notes (which clearly tell you to install flashchat inside your forums folder) so you will have a chat folder with your admincp/modcp/includes etc folders. No editing of any path is required if you do it right in the first place.

[ausnrl]

I did that and i get an error with the statements

[Paul M]

Well you seem to have have made a mistake somewhere. Please refer to the support section in the main post, and have a read of my signature.

Sorry, but that really doesn't help.

As it says in the support section, if you want me to have a look then I need ftp access and an admin login to the forum, otherwise there is little I can do.
