FlashChat : Integration upgrades for vBulletin.

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This originally made changes to add new facilities to your FlachChat & vb set-up. However, all the features added are now part of standard Flashchat (4.6.0 and above). This now just supplies the latest vb 3.0 CMS file, which depending on circumstances, may either be the same as, or newer than, the one supplied with Flashchat itself.

To install the latest 3.0 CMS file - unzip it, edit the usergroups access and options as required, and then copy the file to the ../chat/inc/cmses/ folder on your server.


Optionally, you can also edit inc\langs\en.php.

Finding ;

'banned' => "You've been banned",

and replacing with ;

'banned' => "You do not have permission to enter the chat",

* Version 1.82 was the last version of the old hack (for Flashchat 4.2.1 upwards).

History of the 3.0 CMS file

* v1.13 - updated vbulletin30CMS.php file for vb 3.0 and Flashchat 4.5.2+ this contains a fix for a cookie security issue.
* v1.14 - Added ability to login direct to a room using ../flashchat.php?username=_int_&room=n
* v1.15 - Alterations to caching code.
* v1.16 - Minor fix to Get User for membergroupids.
* v1.17 - Security (anti-hacking) code added (as supplied by Darren).
* v1.18 - Usergroup settings moved to top of CMS file.
* v1.19 - Fixed error message when accessing chat admin area.
* v1.20 - Default role changed.
* v1.21 - Minor bug fix to Avatar detection, login code changes, tidy up.

Your kidding right ?

function getRoles($usergroupid) { 
/*
	## Paul M Version ##

	Edit the code below to set roles for different vB usergroups 

	This assigns access in the following priority based on all primary and secondary group membership.

	1. Assign default access (which is set to NO access below).
	2. If they are a member of an allowed group, grant USER access.
	3. If they are a member of a staff group, grant ADMIN access.
	4. If they are a member of a banned group, grant NO access.
*/

<rest of code>

I have special powers to detect these things.

The problem is no one can get into the chat and yet the settings / groups seem right.

My vbulletin has this:
Administrators 6
Banned 8
Unregistered / Not Logged In 1
Registered 2
Super Moderators 5

vbulletincms2.php

$userrole = ROLE_NOBODY ;

$groups = explode(',',$usergroupid);

// Set Allowed groups
if (in_array(2,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_USER;
if (in_array(7,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_USER;

//Set Staff groups
if (in_array(5,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_ADMIN;
if (in_array(6,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_ADMIN;

//Set Banned groups
if (in_array(8,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_NOBODY;
if (in_array(9,$groups)) $userrole = ROLE_NOBODY;

What am I missing here?

Looks right to me, which suggests that maybe there is another problem - what message do you get - do you have a test user on your site (actually, where is your site).

Prompts for login first the tells me permission denied

[Chadi]

Try user/password "testuser"
