FlashChat Integration with 1.1.1 Final, 1.1RC3 & 1.1RC2 Default Theme

[jiminoregon]

sopas,
If you mean when you try to log into FlashChat, you get banned, you need to search on the flashchat forum for that fix.
It has something to do with the usergroups in smf. I think there was a post a couple pages up from this that talks about it also.

YES.  This is a problem.

I just upgraded to the latest version 4.5.7.

Quite a few members are reporting being banned.

It DOES have to do with groups in SMF.

I believe you can just increase the number of groups in sfmCMS2.php

here....

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(3, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_MODERATOR;

  if($status == 0 || ($status > 3 && $status < 9 )) return ROLE_USER;
  if(in_array(0, $additionalGroups)) return ROLE_USER;

  return null;
  }



you are probably getting this error because you have more than 9 Groups???

That's my best guess anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that's right!

(can someone please confirm???)

Thanks!

I changed 9 to 20 and that fixed it for me.

When installing did you use the SMF 1.1 CMS choice?  Are you using SMF 1.1rc1 or newer?

Not quite sure what you mean by that.

I am running SMF 1.1 RC2
Flashchat 4.5.7
In my FlashChat config.php I have...

'CMSsystem' => 'smfCMS2',

what's odd is it doesn't seem to make any difference if I comment that out or not - it seems the smf user data is STILL being accessed!

I did notice that the people who were complaining about being banned belonged to groups 9 and 29...  I removed them from group 29 and all seems wel..

Definately a little confused here.

I have performed the steps and I have a chat link at the top like I should, but when I click on it I get the following error:

Fatal error: smf_main(): Failed opening required '/home/teamente/public_html/smf/Sources/Chat.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/teamente/public_html/smf/index.php on line 348


I have created the chat.php and placed it in the sources directory as the instructions state.  Any ideas?

That's your problem...you created chat.php and chat.template.php...they need to be Chat.php and Chat.template.php.

Instead of changing the groups...you could have also changed the 9 to 99.

Hi,

The flashchat integration worked for a few days then suddenly the following message appeared:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in D:\webs\mywebsiteaddress.com\html\forum\chat\info_embedded.php on line 34

Could someone please help. Thanks.

[Simplemachines Cowboy]

What is line 34 in your info.embedded.php?

Post a block of code above and below that line please.

And when does this error appear?
When you open your forum?
When you click on the chat button in your forum?
Or what?

[jiminoregon]

Another thing i can put the buton chat in apollo, justa apear the place like a "x".

When you press the X does it take you to the chat?  If so you just have a simple path problem.  Check the properties of the link and make sure they match where the file pic is at.

How do i post a block of code above and below that line?

It appears on my forum where the FlashChat Users information appears (below the Users Online section).

The chat works well when they click on the Chat Button, it appears in a new window.

Now it says:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in D:\webs\mywebsiteaddress.com\html\forum\chat\bot\bot_class.php on line 347

Line 347:         while(($rec = $res->next()) != null)

It appears on my forum where the FlashChat Users information appears (below the Users Online section).

The chat works well when they click on the Chat Button, it appears in a new window.

Just copy and paste it like this:

/**

Leave the $room parameter empty to return the number of users in all room.
*/
function numusers( $room = "" )
{
   if($room) {
      $stmt = new Statement("SELECT COUNT(*) AS numb FROM {$GLOBALS['fc_config']['db']['pref']}connections WHERE userid IS NOT NULL AND roomid=?");
      $rs = $stmt->process($room);
   } else {
      $stmt = new Statement("SELECT COUNT(*) AS numb FROM {$GLOBALS['fc_config']['db']['pref']}connections,{$GLOBALS['fc_config']['db']['pref']}rooms
                       WHERE userid IS NOT NULL AND ispublic IS NOT NULL
                       AND {$GLOBALS['fc_config']['db']['pref']}connections.roomid = {$GLOBALS['fc_config']['db']['pref']}rooms.id");
      $rs = $stmt->process();
   }
   
   $rec = $rs->next();

   return $rec?$rec['numb']:0;
}

/**

It didnt seem to work. Still getting that error

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in D:\webs\mywebsiteaddress.com\html\forum\chat\info_embedded.php on line 34

THANKS Jim!  That fixed it

Chat works now

[Simplemachines Cowboy]

Bar,
Well, the smf portion is working, in that it's trying to get info from the chat file regarding users.
And your file looks right, line 34 is exactly like mine.
I would post your question for Veronica in the FlashChat forums.

Make sure you include the other error you had, the problem may have something to do with your bot settings.

EDIT
any idea why the who's online page still reports unknown action?

Here are a couple isues i'm wondering about,
This is not related to the fact that I use a custom theme, nor that my forum is in french,
I have the same issues in all themes/languages:

I want the chat to open inside the Iframe, that is working fine, exept for the following:

1-Linktree does not show that we are in the chat see image:

As a matter of fact, I have the same issue with coppermine gallerie opened in a Iframe, Linktree does not show
Any ideas?


2-The action in the who's online page of the forum reports Unknown Action as shown here

Coppermine works fine, since some code was added in coppermine file, but where should I add this code, or what should I modify for the action=chat to be reported in the Who's online section


Hope anyone can guide me on this one!

Dom

Find this code in Sources/Who.php

Code Select Expand

// Unlisted or unknown action.

ABOVE that line add this block of code.

Code Select Expand

//show whos in the chat
elseif (isset($actions['action'])&&($actions['action']=='chat'))
{
    $data[$k] = 'Currently in the <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=chat">Chat Room</a>';
}

That will show who is in the chat and link the words 'Chat Room' to the chat.

I hope this helps.

^DooM^, you DA MAN!

Thanks. I will add this to the tutorial with credit to you.

Hey no problem You did the hard part.

I have integrated this chat with 8 themes now and its all working great.

Thanks for your hard work.

By the way here is another little tip for any of you guys that have integrated the chat and find that some of your users are banned. (I had this problem..)

Find this line of code in your flashchat installation folder inc/cmses/smfCMS2.php

Code Select Expand

if($status == 0 || ($status > 3 && $status < 9 )) return ROLE_USER;
Change to

Code Select Expand

if($status == 0 || ($status > 3 && $status < 99 )) return ROLE_USER;

The reason for this is the chat works out who is admin/moderator etc by the groupid number that is stored in the smf_members table. Any ID above 3 is classed as a normal user and has no admin rights. Now for some reason whoever coded this thought 9 ID groups would be enough (It's not. I have 12 so far). Any ID above 9 is banned. If it still says they are banned get them to clear there cache.

I hope this helps someone else out there as it took me about an hour to track that down

Cheers!

OK ^DooM^, riddle me this:
I am getting this error when I access action=who:

8: Undefined variable: scripturl
File: /home/mydomain/public_html/forum/Sources/Who.php
Line: 324

Which is this line in Who.php:

Code Select Expand

$data[$k] = 'Currently in the <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=chat">Chat Room</a>';

Any ideas?

[^DooM^]

Make sure you have it set in the global line of Who.php's determineActions function.

Code Select Expand

function determineActions($urls)
{
global $txt, $db_prefix, $user_info, $scripturl, $ID_MEMBER;

$scripturl is there so you do not have to hardcode your website address and is used everywhere in 1.1rc2
