Flashchat integration with vBulletin 3.6

Note:
Standard Flashchat includes a version of my vBulletin integration as part of the Tufat supplied files - including a working vBulletin 3.6 CMS file. However, the standard files do not include Direct Usergroup Integration or other extra's like the WOL Display & Flashchat on a vBulletin page. This Integration Mod adds those features


Standard vB 3.6 integration features

* Authorised members are automatically logged in.
* Automatic login works even if a member has not ticked "remember me".
* All non authorised members are locked out (this and the above are based on usergroup membership).
* If enabled, Flashchat updates the users session location (displayed in various vBulletin online location displays such as WOL).
* 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 (allows for Staff Rooms).

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 try to automatically add a link to Flashchat in your Quick Links or Navbar - this feature can be disabled if you wish.
* The automatic link can have a prefix path defined - useful if you use something like CMPS.


More notes:

* This integration is for Flashchat versions 4.7.x and above.
* The automatic link feature may fail if you have customised templates.
* 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
* 3.56 onwards has extra code to cope with VBs CSRF protection, which interferes with profile linking (vb 3.6.10+).

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.

Support: 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. 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 look when I have time.

Finally, I am not Tufat.com or Flashchat Support - if you have questions about Flashchat, their forums are here.


To use the this upgraded 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.

Sorry, but I got much trouble with this.
Today I installed FC v 4.7.10 - the current Version on a vb 3.6.5.
Everything seems to processes fine, but when trying to call misc?do=flashchat chat will return a white window.
When trying the flashchat.php-link I have to login...weird.

With the Who-Is-Chatting Mod chat will load but I have to login. And login fails.

Also I can't login to chat admin:
Quote:
Could not grant admin role for this login and password. Table '****.fc_users' doesn't exist
Itseems to me that fc wil read from their own user table (fc_config, fc_config_instances, fc_config_chats, fc_config_values) instead of using vb table.
Weird...

Yes, I'd checked the usergroup settings and yes, I specified the CMS in config.php properly.
I disabled my own themes and skins so that chat should load only default settings.

Nothing works. I tried this on my forum and on my localhost environment too with same results. I have to disable this chat for now.

You have obviously done something wrong, but without ftp access to your files (and forum admin access) there is no way to tell what.

OK, I can now see permissions in the Usergroup manager. I gave unregistered the privilages, but when a guest tries to access they get the flashchat login screen. Isn't there a way to let unregistered people enter a chat if they specify a nick to use ?

anyhelp would be appreciated

Guests cannot use Flashchat if it is integrated, that's the basic purpose of integration.

I made a new category and the category links to the chat.
Is there any way possible to list if there is anyone in chat?
So if members see there are 1-2 people in chat, they will join?

There is a way to add a box at the bottom of your forum, under the whos on line and all that. I will look for it and post it.
