is there one for smf 1.1.2 yet?
thanks!

[Simplemachines Cowboy]

My install of this was with 1.1.1.
When I ran the 1.1.2 upgrade, this mod still worked fine.

[xtremecruiser]

Works fine if you do a upgrade, if you do a new install you might have to edit the mod for 1.1.2

At the bottom of my SMF in the area of whos in the chat room the names that are coming up are not the people in the room. Whats up with that?

It worked brilliantly!  Gracias!  My users already were in love with FC, and complaining about how they sit in it and no one knows they are online.  This is awesome!

Really sorry guys, I haven't had time to keep up with all the posts in here (school homework is just taking too much of my spare time )

This mod should work fine on SMF 1.1.2, but you'll get a message saying that the mod hasn't been tested on that SMF version. Once I test it myself, I'll add SMF 1.1.2 to the "officially supported" list

Actually there is one big issue -- chat users seem to be getting stuck there forever long after they've left!

This is the "logout window" bug - The window that pops up after leaving the chat is meant to log you out. Simplemachines Cowboy posted a fix for this, and it should be fixed in the next release of this mod:

To solve the log out pop-up problem:

Find the dologout.php file in your chat folder.
Make a copy, and place the copy in your main SMF root folder.
Edit the 2nd line of the file to reflect the proper path.
This is mine; FlashChat is in the /chat folder.

require_once('chat/inc/common.php');

Where can I find directions on how to use the flash chat after it is installed?

Anyone know how i can only show the users name only instead of the users name and the room name under the who's online on home page?

I only have one room to keep it simple and of course the name of the room is always the same for each user so the room name is repeated alot!

Thanks


Great mod thanks very much Daniel

[Pacov]

Does anybody know how to make visible beside (on the forum index page) the names of users on chat that thay ar actually on chat. I can see only the names of users on chat but there isn't written that they are on
"CHAT"...--THIS WORD IS MISSING...there are just thair names.

Theme Changes
To install this on your custom theme (so it shows the users in the chat under Users Online), you'll need to edit Themes/[theme name]/BoardIndex.template.php. Note that this will not add the Chat button to the menu bar, you'll need to ask the theme creator about that!

In Themes/[theme name]/BoardIndex.template.php, find:
Code:

echo '
                  ', $context['show_who'] ? '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=who">' : '', $context['num_guests'], ' ', $context['num_guests'] == 1 ? $txt['guest'] : $txt['guests'], ', ' . $context['num_users_online'], ' ', $context['num_users_online'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users'];

Replace with:

echo '
                  ', $context['show_who'] ? '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=who">' : '', $context['num_guests'], ' ', $context['num_guests'] == 1 ? $txt['guest'] : $txt['guests'], ', ' . $context['num_users_online'], ' ', $context['num_users_online'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users'], ', ', $context['num_chat'], ' ', $context['num_chat'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users'], ' ', $txt['fc_in_chat'];

Also, find:
Code:
   if (!empty($context['users_online']))
echo '
                     ', $txt[140], ':<br />', implode(', ', $context['list_users_online']);
Add after:
Code:
// --- Begin FlashChat integration ---
   // If there's users in the chat
   if (!empty($context['users_chat']))
      echo '
                     <br />
                     ', $txt['fc_users_online'], ':<br />', implode(', ', $context['list_users_chat']);
   // --- End FlashChat integration ---

5. Execute Modification ./Sources/BoardIndex.php Test successful
6. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php Test failed

I also tried this file in the boardindexphp file but it seems that their link may be old.

Code Select Expand

// flashchat users
echo '
<tr>
<td class="catbg" colspan="2">FlashChat Users</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="windowbg">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="windowbg2" width="100%"><iframe frameborder="0" height="100" src="', $GLOBALS['boardurl'], '/chat/info_embedded.php" style="width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; overflow: hidden;" scrolling="no" border="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe></td>
</tr>';

any ideas on how to make it work in my forum?

[RoarinRow]

Looks like there's some known issue with Googlebot and Spiders.  See 2nd page of this thread - here.  There's also a fix to the boardindex.template.php file.  Looks like you'll need to make manual updates.

For these two errors, did you install the chat software in your forum root directory?  maybe that's why it can't find the file?

9. Execute Modification ./chat/inc/flashChatTag.php File not found
10. Execute Modification ./chat/inc/cmses/smfCMS2.php File not found

when installing mod i get this error
Error in Package Installation

At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

Installing this package will perform the following actions:  Type Action Description
1. Extract File ./Sources/Chat.php 
2. Extract File ./Themes/default/Chat.template.php 
3. Execute Modification install.xml Modification parse error
4. Execute Modification - Modification parse error

Whats this mean??

I can work with the googlebot & spiders fine but i havent done so because i cant figure out why 9-10 are still missing(not found).

I tried moving folders here and there but no luck.

I thought my forum root is (publichtml) folder in "Fantastico" is in it?

Maybe those files did not come over when you were FTP'ing the FlashChat software files.  Try to upload those again to the /chat/inc path.
