FlashChat Integration

[forumnet.be]

Very URGENT please.

Installed Flashchat and the Integration Mod and now, every page I want to load has a 500 error on it.
My forum isn't loading anymore!

I will have to solve this going through the File Manager in my hosting account, since the forum is offline completely ...

What can I do?

PATRICK.

PS: using SMF 1.1.3 with Tinyportal 0.9.8 and mods:
- Ad management mod
- invite Mod 1.14
- Global header & Footers 1.3

did you back it up first? everytime I install a mod I back it up, then if something crash, I just re-copy the backup. it takes 5 sec.

[forumnet.be]

NO, forgot to backup this time. 
Someone should tell me how to do this properly, since I'm not a champ when it comes to backups ... 

But it shouldn't be THAT difficult to restore the changes that this MOD made, right?
If only I could get Daniel15 to respond on his forum ...

In the meantime my forum is still offline.

If I would just delete the Integration Mod files in my files manager, together with the /chat folder I put the flashchat script in, and then restore the (few?) files that the integration Mod changed, it should work. No?

I just got a new signup to my forum??

How is that possible when the forum is offline??
Can some of you access the forum in my sig?

I just got a 500 error when I tried your forum.

Do you have backup from the last time you applied a mod? If so, could you not install that version and just reapply that mod?

[forumnet.be]

No, I don't. See my answer above please.

Unzip the flashchat mod zipfile and go into it. Open up the xml file that is other than the package-info.xml. Next, that is where you will see all the changes, basically undo everything that mod did by finding replacing and removing.

Also removing it in /Packages will also work.

(NOTE: I think you might be able to access your forum administration with a 500 error. I am not sure.)

I have removed the /chat folder (with Flashchat script) manually and also the Integration Mod package from /packages, but nothing happens ...
Still the same 500 Server Error on all pages ...

[forumnet.be]

Even a restore of an older backup (into a reserve folder) did not work???
Still the same "500 server error"?
How would this be possible? Wouldn't the error be somewhere in the SMF forum folder of my domain?
This Mod isn't changing files outside my /forum folder, is it?

Where is Daniel15 ?

Patrick.

Removing the chat folder will not change anything. This is an SMF Problem which is why you need to do the following or get someone else to do this. It's a manual mod uninstallation process.

Unzip the flashchat mod zipfile and go into it. Open up the xml file that is other than the package-info.xml. Next, that is where you will see all the changes, basically undo everything that mod did by finding replacing and removing.

Also removing it in /Packages will also work.

I am searching for flashchat and banned and I am coming up with nothing..

I am running the latest flashchat mod and version 1.1.3

its the same problem as this guy.. who got drowned out by the guy without backups
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=139769.msg1214496#msg1214496

ok..

If you are using SMF 1.1.3 and flashchat and using the FLASHCHAT MOD FOR SMF and you get above 9 member groups.. when you ASSIGN someone to a member group that is GREATER than 9 it will tell that user and any user in that membergroup that they are BANNED and cannot use flash chat.. its silly that they limit you to 9 membergroups.. but the fix I just pieced together from like 4 different threads all saying somehting.. but nothing the same

here it is..

FIRST..

find this folder

%smf-root%\%chat%\inc\cmses

whatever you named the Flashchat directory is %chat% and
whatever your root name of SMF is is %smf-root%

go into that folder and find on line 58 this

if($status == 0 || ($status > 3 && $status < 9 )) return ROLE_USER;

see that 9 in the middle there.. THAT is what is preventing every membergroup that you have in SMF from getting into chat. go ahead change that number to 99 so it looks like this

if($status == 0 || ($status > 3 && $status < 99 )) return ROLE_USER;

save your file.. and BOOM it starts working again.

I hope this answer meets your needs.. and is search engine friendly enough that people having this issue with

flashchat MOD
BANNED
BAN
whtever.. hope they find this and it answers their question as detailed as possible.

Mine is working 100% now.

Ok I've got a question, I installed flashchat and integrated it with SMF, but created my own seperate link for the chatroom. But it opens up on another window, and I don't want it to, I want it to open up on a skinned window, like a popup. I've seen one with a chat rules page, and that is completely skinned, without the stupid top header bars and all that, and is much smaller. How do I get mine like that exactly? And also, isn't there a way to make it not say Flashchat Vwhatever, and say Chatroom?

[slackerpunk]

can anyone help me with this error when trying to install:

What can I use to show the number of users in chat? (just the number)

The $context['num_chat'] does not seem to be working... at all.

Is there anyway to also use it through SSI? I also need to use it outside of the forum.

[lemur21]

OK, in Themes/amber11final/index.template.php, find:

Code Select Expand


if (in_array($_GET['action'],array('search','admin','calendar','profile','mlist','register','login','pm','help')))

Replace with:

Code Select Expand


if (in_array($_GET['action'],array('search','admin','calendar','profile','mlist','register','login','pm','help','chat')))


Also, find:

Code Select Expand


// The [calendar]!
if ($context['allow_calendar'])
echo $tab1, $ca== 'calendar' ? '1' : '2' , '"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=calendar">'.$txt['calendar24']. '</a></td>';

Add after:

Code Select Expand


// FlashChat!
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
echo $tab1, $ca== 'chat' ? '1' : '2' , '"><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=chat">'.$txt['fc_chat']. '</a></td>';


Hi Daniel (or anyone else),

This worked quite well, with one exception. My top menu bar did 'make a space' for the word "Chat" to appear (and, if you click on the empty space, it DOES launch chat). I just need to get the word "Chat" to appear in the menu bar.

Here's a link to my site: http://www.libogroup.com/SMF/index.php

I, too, am using the amber theme.

If anyone needs me to upload a file, I can do that, as well.

Thanks!

Chris

http://...mywebsite.../forum/index.php?action=collapse;c=1;sa=expand 
8: Undefined index: num_chat
File: /...mywebsite.../public_html/forum/Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php (main sub template - eval?)
Line: 362

I get the above error when I try to collapse/expand a board.

Where is num_chat declared?  The only reference to it that I can find is in Subs.php around line 3270 where it's

Code Select Expand

$context['num_chat'] = mysql_num_rows($result);


I'm not sure why collapsing/expanding the board results in the undefined index error.  Is it refreshing the board but not loading the variable?  I believe it does show the right number of users in chat...

I'm thinking to buy the license but the link is not working? There are errors in all buy products!

Hi,

I installed your mod and it worked fine so far.
However, I run into a problem of "PHP has encountered a Stack overflow" when I have another page that use SSI.PHP (I need to make sure that only member can access to that page, therefore, I have require_once("SSI.php"); ) Well, this page worked fine before I installed the mod. Any idea how to fix ?
my board version is: 1.1.2

Thanks

Has anyone tried this with FlashChat Beta version 4.8.3

[Kindred]

seems to work just fine...
