FlashChat Integration

[lawnmowertech]

did you install flashchat?

It needs to be installed in YourForumDir/chat

that has nothing to do with the theme.

i just made a   folder on my   forum sites  folders  myforum/chat   so  i need to know where to  get  flashchat at  to  install it on the server   thanks

[weightman]

LOL.

"YourForumDir" means replace this directory with the name of YOUR forum. The link to purchase flashchat is, I am sure, on the mod home page.

FlashChat 4.7.12 Installer
Step 2: Database Configuration
The FlashChat installer needs some information about your database to finish the installation. If you do not know this information, then please contact your website host or administrator. Please note that this is probably NOT the same as your FTP login information!

You have indicated that you wish to integrate FlashChat with Simple Machines 1.1. Please refer to the full integration instructions located in the TUFaT.com Wiki. There are additional steps to complete after this installer is finished.

Configuration Error!

FlashChat was unable to detect your MySQL login setting from the Simple Machines 1.1 configuration file. You must correct this before FlashChat can finish its installation. Please refer to the integration Instructions in the TUFaT.com Wiki to ensure that the FlashChat files were correctly uploaded to your server.

Possible Reasons for this error may include:

1) FlashChat was uploaded to an incorrect server location.
2) The CMS system that you are using is unsupported by FlashChat.
3) Your server has incompatible settings which may have been undetected in Step 1 of the FlashChat installer. For example, specific security restrictions which are not typical of most PHP/MySQL setups.

Database User:

This prefix will be prepended to any table names that the FlashChat installer creates.

     is  this  cause i need to  edit some  files in  smf   before  i  go  with this  install  ?

^^^ lawnmowertech  read the above post - you need to purchase flashchat for $5 and install it before installing the flashchat mod.  They are two different things. 

[lawnmowertech]

i  created a  database for  it  and it  loaded onto that  database without  a problem  and  actually  works    here is  the  link   
 
http://www.cmsmallengines.info/smf/chat/flashchat.php


now my  question is  i  tryed  installing that to  config  with  simple machines  1.1  version  first  and it still  showed them  error  msgs  so i  went back  and  reinstalled  it  and  created a   database  and  installed the program to that  database   

but my  question is  how do i get this  to  work with smf    since it is on the  server  now in its own database   thanks 
keep i n  mind  i  have   babylon  theme  and   1.1.4   version 

thanks

I am having the worst time trying to get the chat to show in the actual forums.  Can anyone help me out with that?

My theme utilizes the Default theme for SMF so if anyone has an already modified board.index.php file that they'd like to share then I'd be grateful!

[perplexed]

lawnmowertech -  If you followed the instructions that came with the $5 flashchat exactly then it should work. I don't think then instructions tell you to create a database for it.  It also tells you to check the option for using Flashchat with your cms or forum and then you select SMF 1.1.   If you installed the flashchat mod before installing the flashchat chat program, and then had to remove it, you need to check that it removed all the code that it installed in the files.

Always check if a mod installs correctly with no test failed on any files and do not proceed if it has test fails unless you know what you are doing and what files to modify.

Mods only install on the default CORE theme, you are using a different theme then you will have to modify your theme's files to get it to show up in your forum (assuming that everything else you did before that was successful)


Skjeldur- did you purchase and install the $5 flashchat program before installing the flashchat modification? Are you using another language other than regular plain English (English-UTF8) is a different language.  When you installed the flashchat mod, did it install successfully or did you get any warnings of 'test failed' on any of the files?

[Kindred]

lawnmowertech - Flashchat will *NOT * work as an integrated system if it is in a different database. It *MUST* be installed in the same database as SMF (just use a different prefix)

[Stigmartyr]

I searched this post first for my keywords so here I go with a (new?) question:

I want to be able to admin folks in my SMF integrated chat room, or at least give them KICK and BAN permissions WITHOUT making them admins on my SMF site.  How can I do this?

Does this work with SMF 2 BETA 3?

[kvan73]

I can't find it in this thread as it's long, so here I go. I have smf 1.1.4, I used the installer. I do not get a chat button up top, it does not display Users currently in chat: at the botton. I am using default theme, and language is english, not english-ut whatever . I does not pull up the chat using hxxp:domain.com/forum/index.php?action=chat [nonactive]  I briefly looked through the files it moded, and it looks the same as on this site. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

[jossanaijr]

Was FlashChat installed before and working?

[kvan73]

yep. I just don't have the links in the forum. This works still hxxp:domain.com/forum/chat/flashchat.php [nonactive]
