hi Kindred,

Thanks for the reply and the site.  One thing when I ran the mod through it told me what to look for and then add, well one section was NOT in my index.template.php file and that is:

Code Select Expand

if ($context['current_action'] == 'theme')
$current_action = isset($_REQUEST['sa']) && $_REQUEST['sa'] == 'pick' ? 'profile' : 'admin';



With the above said, the rest was ok and it installed somewhat of a button as it started to but then placed the word Chat in Yellow.  So I am wondering without the code above in the actual index.template.php file I am wondering if thats why the button is not fully visible.

Any ideas or suggestions?  I am by far not a coder, LOL and sorry for my lack of knowledge.

also to note and this is ongoing, when I click the Home button to escape the Chat Mode, I get a pop up saying "Internal Server Error"  I have done just about everything mentioned concerning this issue here and still cannot get it to go away.  I have the dologout.php file in the /forums/ directory and on line 2 I have

Code Select Expand

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

Hi everyone,
I've posted a mod that completely integrates FlashChat into SMF. You may download the mod at http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=611

Great mod Daniel15,

I can confirm this mod works perfectly with 1.1.4 and FlashChat v483, One thing you may want to add though which I had to tweak is setting this line in smfCMS2.php (Seeing as you alter that file anyway)

from

Code Select Expand

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

Code Select Expand

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

If you have more than 9 member groups anyone in a member groupid above 9 is banned.

Thanks again for this sweet mod.

actually, this is something that should be modified on a user by user basis... since I have moderator groups and admin groups in group 10 and 12...

[^DooM^]

Fair enough but I think for the most part most users would not.

[Kindred]

I would say, in my experience, they do...

besides, most users belong to groups 4-9 in addition to any other groups, because groups 4-9 are post count-based.

Actually I had a quick question about that line of code as well-

Code Select Expand

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

Is it possible to prevent people from accessing chat who do not have groups (ie. People who have just registered).  Since to my knowledge you can't specify a default group to put people in when they sign up, I just need a way to exclude those I haven't grouped yet and I think my best bet is with that piece of code.

Also how do I tell which groups are associated with those numbers?

Yes but they are not admins are they, Never mind I was just trying to help but you seem to know better oh mighty hero.

Doom, using your code, every user would be put into the user category, if they belonged to a custom group... even if you had defined that group as being a special access group.
The code, as written should assign anyone in the post-count based groups to the "user" role, which means that your primary complaint (users in other groups are banned) is untrue.

Robo... you can go into smf admin, member groups. Hover over each group and look at the url...   it groupID is the number associated with "status"
(i.e. 1 = admin, 2 = global moderator, 3= moderator, 4-8=post count based groups)

ok, i'm a bit of a noob when it comes to code so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I installed FlashChat into www.mydomain/smf 1.1/chat and and ran the install. Everything went through without any errors but I can only view FlashChat as a stand alone. It doesn't open up within the SMF forum...any ideas?? Thanks in advance

Just to check.  Are you using Default Theme?  If so a "CHAT" button should appear in menubar.

Yes, all Default & no button

If http://yourdomain.../index.php?action=chat open your chat perhaps only the button is missing.

mydomain.com/_Disc/chat/index.php?action=chat  does open up the chat but it wont open up within the forum page so I can't switch back to the Forum unless I go back to the bookmark and also every time I leave the chat I always have to Log In again to enter

Under Admin, features and options, do you have Display chat window inside forum checked, and open chat in new window unchecked?

[Kindred]

also.. you should not have spaces or periods in your site name/folder.......
