FlashChat Integration

[Matthew K.]

I didn't try, I was successful all "attempts" to integrate the two softwares together. I would suggest waiting until someone has more time to look into integrating without such hackish methods.

ok i will wait i want to contact the author who make this mod do u have his email

[Tyrsson]

You dont have to email me, although I did not originally create it, but I am the one currently handling its development and to be honest it will be awhile before I have time to update it. Currently my time is very limited due to work and my current projects. I am looking for a developer to take over the development so that it can be updated. I will post as soon as I find one.

[punjabizone]

okay thanks sir i will be waiting for that

Would it be possible to make a page without this mod ? (www.mysite.com/index.php?action=chat)

So that it's shown on that page within the forum?

Since you've not read the past couple posts, the short answer is: no, not until someone updates it. It's NOT compatible with your version.

[Realinfo]

No one can update this mod for 2.0.2............... is there any other Mod somewhat like that for 2.0.2

[punjabizone]

yeah i am also waiting for like 2 months to someone update this mod

I'll take a stab at getting an integration mod ported to SMF 2.01 and FlashChat 6.08.

Questions to help me:
1. It says the current mod only works for Flashchat 4.7.12, is this correct?  No update has been made for 6.0x yet?
2. Does the mod work with the SMF 2.x RC's as stated?

If these are correct, it appears the tasks will be:
1. setup a sandbox with known working latest versions.
2. update integration mod to work with flashchat 6.08.
3. update integration mod to work with SMF 2.01.

Does that sound about right?

Regards,
Tim

SMF 2.0.2 is now released. Basically, the whole modification should be re-written. I might take a crack at it if people would be willing to make donations for the time spent?

How much programming experience do you have? Doing bridges like this can be a fairly in-depth thing, since you need to do the research to make sure there is no vulnerabilities in the new version of Flashchat or you could be opening a hole into users SMF installs. Which, is the precise reason I have not had time to update the mod... The reason I ask is that I want to make sure whoever takes over the mod has the experience to handle its updating.

[Realinfo]

Waiting to get this mod on 2.0.2..............

[MESWEB]

Updated version to 2.0.2 can anyone test this update??
I have XP 64 Pro + Xampp beta and I need restart winsock  to reboot every couple days.

[Matthew K.]

Did you test it with the latest version of FlashChat, too?

[MESWEB]

No I only update installation
Installation FlashChat 6.0.8 On MySql version 5.3.x and higher is not possible:

Code Select Expand

Could not create DB table 'smf_fc_bans'
You  have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to  your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '(14) NOT  NULL, userid int(11) default NULL, banneduserid int(11) default NULL, r'  at line 1

The real issue here is the within the old version of chat they are using functions that are deprecated = can no longer be used. I remember seeing this problem with a few sites when users first started upgrading to php5. As php evolves the scripts that are coded in it must also evolve and new solutions have to be programmed and the code has to be updated to use the new functions that are then available to replace the old more or less.

This mod will be updated, however, please keep in mind that I have to read over all the security reports that exist for flashchat 6, and there are many from what I have been seeing. I have a responsibility to every user of this mod to not introduce a security issue into smf due to bridging it with flashchat. It takes time.

I Was paid for FlashChat v 4.7.12 3 years ago and it's worked very good on SMF1.*.*.
Can i have running  FlashChat v 4.7.12 on SMF2

1.) Version of flashchat you are using. - FlashChat v 4.7.12
2.) Version of SMF you are using.         - SMF 2.2
3.) Link to your forum.
4.) Any errors you have encountered.  - Fatal error: Cannot redeclare dologin() (previously declared in /home/bdsmhrva/public_html/Sources/LogInOut.php:467) in /home/bdsmhrva/public_html/chat/admin/login.php on line 13
  - I have login screen but after login only blank screen with theme picture

[Matthew K.]

Would anyone be willing to donate for an updated version of this modification that worked on the latest version of FlashChat and SMF?

[MESWEB]

I tried this with SMF 2.0.2 and FlashChat 6.0.8 and there were two errors...
*    11.    Execute Modification    ./Themes/default/index.template.php    Test failed

When I find free time for me then I correct this code

*    13.    Execute Modification    ./chat/inc/flashChatTag.php    Test failed

This file is required before You Install this mod. That's mean You need install Flash Chat befor install this mod.

[dooie]

I reinstalled my old Flashchat version 4.7.12 and then tried the mod again. Everything came up fine except  Execute Modification    ./Themes/default/index.template.php    Test failed

I ignored the error and proceeded.

In ./Themes/default/index.template.php create following edits

find

Code Select Expand

// Save a session so it wont loop
$_SESSION['unread_sound'] = $context['user']['unread_messages'];
}

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($modSettings['fc_showUsers']) && !empty($context['users_chat']))
echo '
', $txt['fc_users_online'], ': ', implode(', ', $context['list_users_chat']), '<br />';
// --- End FlashChat Integration ---



It is now fully integrated in SMF 2.0.2 but I do not have the functionality of (Number of users on Chat menu button).

Does anyone know how to get the number of users on the chat button working in this SMF version with default theme (Curve)?

Cheers.
