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* This integration is for Flashchat versions 4.7.0 upwards, support for versions prior to this has been withdrawn.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 don't need to change anything for the WIC hack.

In which case... thanks very much for this hack. Really adds value to my messageboard (and god knows my board needs it...!!)

Cheers.

Ok first of all nice script thx Tufat you should charge more

Now second to Paul just how can you call this Flashchat Integration for vB 3.5 all the work was done by Tufat and you haven't even integrated to vb otherwise the page would show header navbar and footer

so tell me what did you actually contribute to this hack?

[Holidazed]

Too true. I would love to see this flashchat embedded into my site look and feel. The proper header and footer would be awesome.

to work with it

Out of respect to the author please keep communications civilize. eg. If you don't have nothing productive to say then don't say nothing.

Your next post may be removed.

I am sorry if everyones taken it the wrong way I wasn't meaning to be rude in any way.

I was just asking as the script is writen by Tufat what did paul contribute its a simple question and there is no rudeness meant by it.

intergration for a script like this that already works with vb would mean header etc not just a page none of your members can get back to your forums from.


Sorry if I offended anyone
