FlashChat Integration

[jiminoregon]

The problem is.. on "Spikey", there isn't a BoardIndex.template.php.
Yet, even though I AM able to see who is in chat at bottom, there is no link found anywhere at the top to get to chat.

Since it doesn't have a BoardIndex.template.php, it is using the one from the default (that's why you're seeing who's in the chat)
The link for accessing the chat needs to be added to index.template.php. I'll take a look at Spikey later, and see the exact code you need.

Daniel,

Excellent mod...thank you very much!

Jim

Hi,

I am using Flashchat without the mod.

Could someone please tell me how to show users online without having the mod installed?

Using SMF 1.1.3 and Dilber theme.

Many Thanks

Hi Bertie,

I would think that the FlashChat site would be able to help with that.

[Daniel15]

To everyone that's having problems with Coppermine and similar integrations, I've released a new version of the FlashChat mod today. This new release should fix all the problems (thanks to clemenzo for the fix! ).  Also, please post any support queries at my forum (www.daniel15.com), you're likely to get a quicker response. Thanks!

Now, to answer some of the questions posted here. Please tell me if I missed your question...

although.. my SMF version 1.06 shoutbox is getting a PHP has encountered a Stack overflow error

I'm not sure what would cause that. Please try upgrading your forum to the latest version.

Do we still need to do this for 1.0 Daniel? 

I think so... I'll take a look into it
Edit: I've uploaded a version of the package that's compatible with the Googlebot and Spiders mod

Is it just with me or this flash chat script is creating core.number files of 29,00 mb in my webserver?

Even if it's not caused by flash chat, does anyone knows a solution for stopping this?

This means that Apache or PHP is crashing. It's probably best to ask your web host about this.

I have to do the installation manualy becausse he is giving a bunch of errors.  All solved only this error when I do the modification in the Subs.php

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF, expecting ')' in /var/www/vhosts/animalsex-forum.com/httpdocs/Sources/Subs.php on line 3408

I believe you have placed the code in the wrong place.  The FlashChat code section should not be inside the $context['common_stats'] array.

Has anyone figured out how to remove what room the users are in so that it takes less space to provide all the names?

In Subs.php, find:

Code Select Expand


$context['list_users_chat'][$row['memberName']] = $link . ' (' . ($row['ispublic'] != 'y' ? $txt['fc_private_room'] : $row['roomName']) . ')';

Replace with:

Code Select Expand


$context['list_users_chat'][$row['memberName']] = $link;


Is this compatible with smf 1.1.3??

Yes

My 1st problem:
Why do user have to login and are not automatically in the chat?

Please make sure that when you installed FlashChat, you chose to integrate it into SMF.

I have SMF 1.1.3 and installed the mod but can not set any setting as I get the 404 error and during the install it could not find the following files :-

12. Execute Modification ./chat/inc/flashChatTag.php File not found
13. Execute Modification ./chat/inc/cmses/smfCMS2.php File not found

I also get the message :-

FlashChat does not appear to be installed!

FlashChat needs to be in the "chat" directory inside your forum's directory.

Does Daniel not give any support here anymore?

I do, although I prefer doing so at my own support forums at www.daniel15.com

Does sombody knows how I can make that this work for all languages??, it only work with english for me, where is the file that I have to modify for make the translation to my language?

Copy the FlashChat stuff from Themes/default/Modifications.english.php to Modifications.<your language>.php.

Could someone please tell me how to show users online without having the mod installed?

To be honest, this is the main feature of this integration. Doing this manually essentially involves installing a large part of the mod manually

Anyways...
In Sources/Subs.php, find:

Code Select Expand


$context['common_stats'] = array(
'total_posts' => comma_format($modSettings['totalMessages']),
'total_topics' => comma_format($modSettings['totalTopics']),
'total_members' => comma_format($modSettings['totalMembers']),
'latest_member' => $context['common_stats']['latest_member'],
);

Add after:

}
mysql_free_result($result);
// --- End FlashChat Integration ---


In Themes/[your theme name]/index.template.php, find:

Code Select Expand


// But, let's always show minutes - Time wasted here: 0 minutes ;).
echo $context['user']['total_time_logged_in']['minutes'], $txt['totalTimeLogged4'], '<br />';
}

Add after:

Code Select Expand


// --- Begin FlashChat Integration ---
// Do we need to display a list of the users in the chat?
// Are there users online?
if (!empty($context['users_chat']))
echo '

// --- End FlashChat Integration ---

I've not tested this, but it should work .

Go your chat admin: http://www.yoursite.com/forum/chat/admin/index.php

Enter 'Rooms' to make the changes. I had exactly the same happen with my installation.

[brianjw]

Well I don't know about if this mod uses iframes in anyway or somehow calls a flash object directly into the page but anyway...

If an iframe in this mod: Call the flashchat.php file through there.
If a swf object directly in the action of this mod (aka action=chat): Change the url to include a different url other than scripturl or boardurl etc.
Like call it out like this: http://mysite.com/chat/flashchat.php

To do this you may have to modify a chat.template.php. (not sure if you have a file like this) If you do have this file it would be under /Themes/default/chat.template.php

Hope this helps.
Also if you're looking to speak with daniel15 directly and get faster support

Also, please post any support queries at my forum (www.daniel15.com), you're likely to get a quicker response. Thanks!

While in chat the members Username is displayed, is it possible to change this so it shows their Displayed Name, and if so what do I need to change?

In  /bridges/smf10.inc.php
search for "MemberName"  (2x)
replace with "RealName"

This seems to have changed. Where do I change this now?

And one more thing...

Instead of [4 Users] in the forum menu I just want a [4]. What do I have to change?

[brianjw]

Enough with the support in here lol! Post it at Daniel15's site.

Why? This is the offical SMF support forum and more ppl read it here. Ok if you want a direct response from daniel I can see the point of posting on his forum, but here you can get feedback from other users.

[brianjw]

True, very true

we have to pay for this Mod?!?

No, it's free.

Hi all, I've got Flashchat on my SMF 1.1.3 running great but I have registered users bypassing the forum and logging straight into flashchat.

They monitor the users in flashchat using the link on the built in flashchat log-in page.

Does anyone know how I can remove or disable this log-in page? It's not needed as users just get logged in from SMF... or should do!

Many thanks in anticipation...

[brianjw]

we have to pay for this Mod?!?

Flashchat, costs money. About $5 USD to the creator down at http://tufat.com
This mod for SMF However... IS FREE
