FlashChat Integration

[Tyrsson]

Well its not the db stuff that really need changed. The jump to the version 5 of flashchat uses a slightly different directory structure if I remember correctly.

[sparker366]

For the life of me the chat button does not show up. I installed flash chat in the /smf/chat directory and set it up first then installed the mod and nothing shows up. No admin cp stuff nothing chat related. Using SMF 1.1.11 and FlashChat 4.1.7.2 and installed the package after I installed and configured flashchat.

What all do you need from me to help me get this too work. I want to use this shortly. If not then I need suggestions on what I can do to get a chat to work with my forums.

@ sparker366 - First of all, FlashChat Integration mod is not even compatible with SMF 1.1.11, take a peak at the edit for SMF 1.1.10 that adds a button in ./Themes/default/index.template.php make sure the edit is done in your index.template.php.

[sparker366]

Not sure what you are referring too but those edits are in place with that.

What do you suggest I do to get this to work upgraded to 2.0 and see if that will do it? I really want a chat in my forums

[sparker366]

Ok found the page mod and added that and added the bbcode entry for the page and it works just fine. Now if I can tweak the size of the chat that would be good.

When Is This Going To Be Compatible With SMF 1.1.11

Thanks

Does this mod work for RC2?

It seems some are running it on there. I wanted to get something like this, but wanted to make sure.

[Filipina]

Yes its works RC2 but I think the SMF MOD only integrates flashchat 4.7.12.. not the 5 or 6 version. If I am wrong someone shoot me

this is correct however the author of the mod is planning on updating it when they get time.

anyone got this to work with FC 6.0.6 and SMF 1.1.11 on php 5.3?

FC 4.x doesnt work with php 5.3 apparently

i can get FC 6.0.6 to work on my web server, but when i installed this mod to integrate FC and SMF, it killed my site. I had to manually uninstall it...what a mess....I made the mistake installing it straight to production.

I am going to retry it on my test site and i will post the errors I receive in hopes someone can help me sort out the errors.

I will post the results soon....thanks!

[Tyrsson]

The next version that will be released that is compatible with the new versions of FlashChat will be after SMF 2.0 goes final. I just do not have the time to update with every new version.

[Goad]

any idea whats causing this error?

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'INC_DIR ../temp/config.srv.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/chat/inc/config.srv.php on line 2

if i go to mysite.com/chat it works fine.

i get this error when i go to mysite.com/ (front page of smf)

i checked the temp/config.srv.php and looks ok. the one in inc/ is ok too

[Tyrsson]

/chat/inc/config.srv.php on line 2

What code is on that line?

[Goad]

this is all the code that exists in that file:

<?php
   require_once INC_DIR.' ../temp/config.srv.php';
?>

so I check the /temp/config.srv.php...

<?php
   $GLOBALS['fc_config'] = array(
      'cacheType' => '0',
      'cachePath' => '../temp/templates/cache/',
      'cacheFilePrefix' => '775307597',
   );
   $GLOBALS['fc_config']['db'] = array(
      'host' => 'localhost',
      'user' => 'xxxxx',
      'pass' => 'xxxxxxx',
      'base' => 'xxxxxxx',
      'pref' => 'smf_fc_',
   );
?>

[Tyrsson]

Yes,  but what path is defined within this constant?: INC_DIR

[Goad]

not sure what that is.... how can i find out?

are you referring to this part of the error: (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php')

[noxe]

The next version that will be released that is compatible with the new versions of FlashChat will be after SMF 2.0 goes final. I just do not have the time to update with every new version.

Do you plan on updating it for SMF 1.1.x too with the FC 5.x and 6.x or are you simply moving onto SMF 2.0 support/integration with the newer FlashChats once it goes final?

[BarfBag]

I installed this mod, and it brought down my entire board.  Getting the following error.  SMF 1.1.11.

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'INC_DIR../temp/config.srv.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /home/chexqorg/public_html/chat/inc/config.srv.php on line

[Smoky "Rider" Blue]

hmm BarfBag?

did you have a custom theme at the time of install?

you must add the code into a custom theme.. also did you read the instructions for proper chmoding the folders and files of your site, or did you just use fantastico to install?

great mod guys.  my users and i really love it, so thanks a bunch!  quick question regarding a minor problem with my setup.  everything works great, but the number of users never shows up next to the chat button in the menu bar.  ive turned it on and off quite a few times, but i never see any difference there.  is there anything i should check?  oh let me also say the theme is default.
