FlashChat Integration

[Daniel15]

I could not use this mod on his forum because there was a problem between it and nneannos shoutbox mod.  I seems they both use the action chat for there defined action.

Easy fix .
In Index.php, for the FlashChat mod, there's something like this:

Code Select Expand


// FlashChat integration
'chat' => array('Chat.php', 'Chat'),

Simply change it to something like:

Code Select Expand


// FlashChat integration
'flashchat' => array('Chat.php', 'Chat'),


Then, in Display.template.php, find:

Code Select Expand


<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=chat"', (!empty($modSettings['fc_newWindow']) ? ' target="_blank"' : ''), '>', $txt['fc_chat'], (!empty($modSettings['fc_showUserCount']) && !empty($context['num_chat']) ? ' [<strong>' . $context['num_chat'] . ' ' . ($context['num_chat'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users']) . '</strong>]' : ''), '</a>


Replace with:

Code Select Expand


<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=flashchat"', (!empty($modSettings['fc_newWindow']) ? ' target="_blank"' : ''), '>', $txt['fc_chat'], (!empty($modSettings['fc_showUserCount']) && !empty($context['num_chat']) ? ' [<strong>' . $context['num_chat'] . ' ' . ($context['num_chat'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users']) . '</strong>]' : ''), '</a>


This is assuming that the shoutbox mod doesn't use a file called "Chat.php".

I will look into it more today and see what I can do with it.  Also let me say you do a great job supporting you mods.  Thanks.  Tick

Ok another problem here.  It seem this mod conflicts with my copperming bridge that I have with my  forum.   When I have the mod installed I cannot connect with the database is the error I get in my error log.  I uninstall the mod and it connects fine with the database.  Any answers.  Still a great mod.  I want to use it but I need to get the kinks worked out of it.

That's very strange, I have no idea what would cause this...
Where did you download the bridge from? And what is the exact error message?

[Tick]

I have it uninstalled so it not happening know.  I error to the best I can remmember said


Unable to connect to database.   
xxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxxx/sources/subs.php        and the line number was the same line all of the flashchat info was on.

tick... I have the same exact problem! Conflict with Coppermine. The Coppermine bridge to SMF comes with Coppermine.

I get this error.....

Database Error: No Database Selected
Sources/Subs.php
Line: 3189

[Tick]

yes that the one I get.  And if you go to that line in the subs.php it is the code for the flashchat.  Once I uninstalled this the coppermine worked fine.

[CHwebby]

same here

[CHwebby]

Forgot to add then when I uninstalled this mod to get my gallery working again, the flashchat code in my sources/subs.php  didn't uninstall. I had to manually remove it.

Can I change the title to say my board name chat?

[MegaTinkerCoder]

Could you install coppermine and then install flashchat? Is their a bridge for Coppermine and flashchat that is conflicting?

[Tick]

That is the setup I had.  I had the coppermine before the flashchat mod.  Now the flash chat works fine intergrated with the forum but when the flash chat mod is installed it conflicts.  The way I set it up was following flashchats instruction.  The way I put it in my fourm is I use the custom actions mod and create a action for the flash chat and put it in a iframe.  Works the same way it just doesn't add the stats to the bottom of the forum.  I solved that by putting the stats in a tp block.

ditto with what tick said. I'm not using tiny portal though.

My apologies if someone has already answered this question, but I looked around a little and I couldn't find anything about it.

The mod is working fine for the most part, with the options for it appearing in the admin panel, and the users in the chatroom listed in the "who's online" section.  However, even if I check the box in the admin panel to make the chatroom appear "inside" the forum or open in a new window, it still opens on its own separate page as though I'd installed it normally.  I'm using a custom theme, but I've already made the changes to it suggested at http://www.daniel15.com/forum/index.php/topic,856.html .  Is there something else I need to edit about the theme to make these options possible?

I'm not using any other mods, so I know that isn't the reason for this problem, and my theme is a customized Babylon theme.  My forum is http://www.captainoccam.com/forum/ , in case you want to examine it for yourself.

Hello excuse my english, Ill try explain as best I can.

I have installed Flash chat and the mod, and everything seems to work fine except for a few things.

I have been looking around in this forum to see if I could find any answer for my problem. So I ending up to ask for help.

After I installed the mod. It dont show any chat button on the meny. So I went into the configuration in admin.
It looked like this


As you see there is not text in the field, just the place to hook. When I turned them on. It appeard a 1user button on the menu.



When I pushed the button it lead me to the chat, and so far that worked fine. But when I navigate around the forum I got a popup with logout and the 1user button disappear. No I have no opertunity to get back to the chat.

So what is it I do wrong.

Thanks
Solin

Has support for this mod been abandoned, or what?

I'm still having the logout bug, even though I'm using the newest version of the mod.  I tried taking Simplemachines Cowboy's suggestion on page 7, but it didn't change anything.  The popup window that's supposed to log me out still gives me a 404 error.
