I did answer it (I think). Your problem was the same as texterted's problem. It's a problem with FlashChat which I'll have to try and solve.


Ok Daniel, I read you loud and clear this time.

Thanks!

Daniel,

I tried your edits shown above, but still am getting the same error - quite possibly something that I am doing wrong of course.

Attached are my 2 files - could you check to see if I have edited them correctly?

Thanks!

Edit - I have now put my original files back in place without either mod, and now have the flashchat mod working without the Googlebot mod.

You'll get the same error, but you can ignore it. The error means that it can't edit that segment of code, but since you'll manually edit it, it doesn't matter.

This mod only edits the default theme.
What theme are you using?

I've got this mod added and it seems to be working well with the exception that I have a couple of members  of my SMF forum that cannot enter the chatroom. They get a message saying they are banned, yet they are not banned from my forum. I cannot find anything on this topic. Any advice?

That's not my area for support - Since this is a problem with FlashChat itself, you'll need to ask the author of FlashChat for support.

This topic only covers issues with the FlashChat integration (Users Online list, and the FlashChat embedded into SMF). Issues with FlashChat itself (user issues, etc.) aren't covered by me ;)

Quick question, is there a way I use this mod with my chat folder on another server different than the forum? I'm sure it's a simple edit of the URLs to point to, but I'm unsure which files need to have these changes.

Thanks!

Hello, and welcome to the forums! :D

QuoteQuick question, is there a way I use this mod with my chat folder on another server different than the forum?
Since it needs to connect to your SMF database (it does so by reading the Settings.php file), FlashChat needs to reside on the same server. If you put it on a different server, you can't integrate it.
My integration requires the FlashChat PHP files to be present on the server, and hence it can't be on a different server ;)

Gees, sure wish I had this a month ago when I integrated Flashchat (but not as cleanly).

I've set up your mod for testing and I'm seeing the same problems with dologout.php. Here's one more thing I noticed: when I logout the other chat users do not see it until exactly one minute later. Something is timing out rather than logging out.

running 1.1.1 smf
theme: " AMBER" theme tinyportal for 1.1.1

flash chat successfuly configured and added

mod successfully added

1.checked the board index file, the code isnt the same  so im not going to mess with it.
2. the mod doesnt show up in the menu bar and doesnt show up in the admin settings to activate/deactivate.


it works awesome when i use the default smf template, but for the amber theme, doesnt show up at all
i basically have to hardlink it from the "news" section

any help for the amber theme tiny portal 1.1.1?

The mod is designed to use the default theme. Most are, unless it specifically says for a different theme.

Go back to the first post. Follow the instructions after this:

QuoteTheme Changes
To install this on your custom theme (so it shows the users in the chat under Users Online), open Themes/[theme name]/BoardIndex.template.php, and find:

Hello:
Simple questions:
it is necessary install the chat into the same folder that SMF?
and in the same DB with different suffix?
or can i install the Chat in root (here i have Joomla an SMF with separated DB), and in this case i need to make a new DB? or i mus use that the joomla or SMF.

Congratulations for this great work.

Great mod, no probems to install, simple instructions to follow to edit custom template.

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?

SMURF6060

thanks , that worked! users show up "whos online" listing.

But how would i get it to show in the menu task bar?

would i have to add my own button + link to the chat..or is their some script fix that would work with the amber tinyportal theme?

As per the FlashChat instructions, it needs to be in your forum's directory. The installer will automatically detect your SMF database, so you won't need to type anything in. Please see the FlashChat instructions on tufat.com for more details.

QuoteWhile 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?
That's a FlashChat question, you'd need to ask over at tufat.com

QuoteBut how would i get it to show in the menu task bar?
You'd need to ask the author of the theme how to add a new button.
If you provide a link to the theme download, I'll take a look at it ;)

The 404 pop up is looking for "dologout.php" in the SMF directory not the CHAT directory... should be an easy fix? "edit... fixed this by copying the file to the parent SMF directory and editing the file to include the correct path to 'inc/common.php'.

Thanks for taking the time to do these mods on top of trying to have a life! I'm sorry to sound negative about these "bugs" but I'm needing a lot of "hand holding" here.
Cheers

Can you hold my hand now  ;)  and explain how you fixed the pop up issue?

Hey j/k about that last line some may take it the wrong way...lol

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