FlashChat Integration

[Kindred]

1- it very clearly states that this mod does not support any version of flashchat other than 4.x
2- ALWAYS take a backup before you do anything
3- you will probably have to manually remove the changes for this mod... follow the manual install instructions form the mod site, in reverse.

He was my backup. I resettled it.  He functions properly resettled on all of them.
How I can integrate it FlashChat v6.0.7 verizon it smf my forum?
Please help me.
If I install it FlashChat v4.7.12 version, everything well then.
The chat appears then button in the menu.

[Kindred]

I am not certain what your first statement means....

There is no integration of FC6.x and SMF apart from the standard FC integration (shared logins)

This mod does work with FC 4.7.12.

This is the bit of code that controls which groups can access the chatroom:
This isn't a bit of code to paste in, you must adapt it to what you want.

Code Select Expand

//  if($status == 0 || ($status > 3 && $status < 99 )) return ROLE_USER;
  if(in_array(14, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_USER;

//  if(in_array(0, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_USER;

If the first line wasn't commented out, it would allow all groups to access chat. You just need to change the '9' to '99' if you have any problems with groups being excluded.
The next line I added. Group '14' is the additional group on my board, that I wanted to have access to chat. So only admins, moderators and members of this additional group can see the chatroom.
The last line also needs commenting out, if you are restricting access.

Thanks, I'm giving this a try now. I've been searching for well over a year on how to fix this. One person said to edit that file, but didn't say how or what.

So I tried your edits. Except I made mine look like this:

Code Select Expand

function getRoles($status, $additionalGroups) {

  if($status == 1 || in_array(1, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_ADMIN;

  if($status == 2 || in_array(2, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_MODERATOR;
  if($status == 3 || in_array(19, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_MODERATOR;

//  if($status == 0 || ($status > 3)) return ROLE_USER;
  if(in_array(4, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_USER;
  if(in_array(14, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_USER;
  if(in_array(15, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_USER;
  if(in_array(16, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_USER;
  if(in_array(17, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_USER;
  if(in_array(18, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_USER;
  if(in_array(20, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_USER;
//  if(in_array(0, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_USER;


Because I want all my custom groups to have access, but not the banned group which is group #11. However, right after I did this someone in group #17 tried to get into the chat room and could not.

Never did get help for the above question....not that I really expected to...but anyhow..

But I'm curious if anyone ever got SMF 2.0 RC3 and FC 5.0.11 to work together in some mod like this? Its the only thing stopping me from upgrading to 2.0

[DarkflameQ]

I've been running Flashchat v6.0.8 on my SMF 2.0 RC3 site for just over a month now.

I can definitely vouch that this is one of best affordable embeddable chat programs out there in terms of customization, functions and resource usage (with 15+ people chatting, only takes up roughly 4-8% CPU usage where shout boxes take up anything between 14-30%) but be warned the support for this product is currently non existent!

It's just a good thing it only set me back $5 and not $50 otherwise i'd be more angry about my questions on the forum being completely ignored, lol

Anyhoo, i look forward to this mod being updated to support the 6x series eventually (the 4x series is vulnerable to hacks and exploits, just youtube it and you'll see what i mean).

can someone help me with flash chat? SMF 2.0RC 2

I was install flash chat manualy a long ago, witout this mod.  And i was create chat button ni the Subs.php. All I want is number how manny users are in chat next to the button chat, like in this mod.

Can some one help me in this?

[avguste]

I am also having a problem integrating with SMF 2.4
I posted on the FlashChat site and here is the link

http://forum.tufat.com/showthread.php?t=69385

Any ideas?

[Mr. Jinx]

I'm getting the exact same thing.
I know the mod doesn't support Flashchat 6, but even the simple flashchat<>smf integration provided by tufat doesn't work

[Tyrsson]

If memory serves the integration that is posted on the tufat site was at one time for the 1.x.xx version of smf. If it has not been updated there could very well be code that needs to be updated, dif $vars etc.

[Bobn]

Any chance this will work on RC4?

[Kindred]

no chance at all

[impreza]

great mod, thanks for making it

There is an update to make Flashchat 6 work with SMF 1.x and SMF 2.x

Works great! This solves the problem where you get a blue screen after login, and also fixes the admin interface.

please note: This is not a fix for the mod, it is only a fix for the smf/flashchat integration.

no chance at all

Pleaseee, i hope the creator can make it compatible for RC4.......

[Tyrsson]

It will not be for RC4, but there will be an update for 2.0 final.

[[Lucien]]

It will not be for RC4, but there will be an update for 2.0 final.

Oke i'm happy now that i know Thnx

[TeaTephi]

It will not be for RC4, but there will be an update for 2.0 final.

Okay, but I'm gonna try to find a work-around!  Could I add my own tab with a link to the chat interface, OR I could add a tinyportal block with a link to chat!

Just thinking out loud here.

[Tyrsson]

You can link to it yes. There is many post here that describe how to add a tab.
