FlashChat Integration

[Kindred]

it's a command that you can add to the url to make your installation think it's a different version for the installation of mods.

Alternatively, you could open the mod and modify the install.xml file to include 1.1.6

ahh.....  thanks... That might help me with one or two other mods as well...

Does this mod work with SMF 1.1.5 and TP?

I am considering loading flashchat

Thanks...RR

I'm using 1.1.6. I altered the xml file to show 1.1.6 and it showed in my package manager then I got this,

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. Extract File ./dologout.php 
4. Execute Modification ./index.php Test successful
5. Execute Modification ./SSI.php Test successful
6. Execute Modification ./Sources/ModSettings.php Test successful
7. Execute Modification ./Sources/Subs.php Test successful
8. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php Test successful
9. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/index.template.php Test successful
10. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php Test successful
11. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Help.english.php Test successful
12. Execute Modification ./chat/inc/flashChatTag.php Test failed
13. Execute Modification ./chat/inc/cmses/smfCMS2.php Test successful
14. Execute Code add_settings.php 


Not sure what to do the failed file. I am not good at all with PHP but I do have a go. I did ignore this once and installed it just to see what would happen. It doesn't create a button on the menu, I am using a skin, black and blue115 so that might be it. The options in the Admin are there but when you return to the forum it crashes and a blank page with the 500 error is there. I had to remove the mod sharpish to get back to normality but I do need this to work if possible.

The chat program itself works fine, apart from 1 member apparently being banned which is odd, but it works great so I've had to put an icon on the forum and link it to the chat page. it looks untidy so I would be grateful for any help

The key to making FlashChat work is to be sure it works stand-alone before you attempt the integration. 

The file that failed is one that comes with the FlashChat program and would have to be there even for it to work stand-alone.  You may need to install FlashChat again.

Like most all mods, they install only on the default theme.  You will need to manually do the edits to your theme's BoardIndex.template and index.template files.

also... this mod only work with flashchat 4.7.12 and earlier.

Hi I am using the latest version 5 or whatever so that is probably it then. it is working as a stand alone and works quite well. Although there are a few weird things going on.

Do you suggest I delete this and start again? Do I just delete the chat folder and download the 4.7.12 version if I am allowed to?

[JimM]

The failure you are getting was a bug fix that this mod took care of.  It's possible that the new version doesn't have the bug or it has already been fixed.  I am still using the 4.7.12 version.

You will have to edit your themes index.template file in order for a button to be added.  If you installed this mod, it would have added the button to the default theme (the theme named "default").

hello to all. i have installed smf 116 and the flash chat 4.7.12 with the package integration. all ok. but my forum have the default smf theme installed also in italian and now i have the possibility to see the chat integration button only in english language theme default. also, i have setted italian in  my pref, but i see only in english the forum...
how and where i must edit someelse?thanks

[Kindred]

as most mods, this only installs in english.

Modify modifications.italian.php to add the italian versions of the english text strings.

[esber]

so what files do you need to install this? the chat and then the intergration file or is it just 1 file to install?

[Kindred]

you must have a valid and correctly installed copy of flashchat and SMF before you can run this mod.

[esber]

i have smf 1.1.5 which version of the chat do i download?

[MoreBloodWine]

i have smf 1.1.5 which version of the chat do i download?

4.7.12 which as of right now is the only stable version of flashchat... but you have to pay $5 to get it, but you get unlimited downloads/updates after buyin it.

Hello,
Ive installed the flashchat mod on smf 1.1.6 and flashchat 4.7.12
It works fine except for the users online feature ,it doesnt record users who connect to the chat from the smf menu,it only shows users who log in outside of the smf forum.

Has anyone had this problem or know a fix for it,ive searched this thread without  finding a answer.

im not quite sure

what im talking about is the users online in the smf menu bar that comes up from the mod being installed,check out my attachment ,it says chat 1 user,that user actually is the admin who logged into the chat outside of my smf forum.

when ever a user clicks chat from the menu they show up in the usersonline users in chat(second attachment) but the menu doesnt change to say chat 2 users.

[cafenubia]

  Sorry disregard my previous posts its working ,im not sure why but i think its because i was trying to log into the chat with 2 users on the same computer when i logged my admin and test in on two different computers it showed up correct.
Thanks.........

What in the file needs modified?  Trying to use 1.1.6 and 5.0 flashchat (the 5.0 flashchat works great on its own, its just that I need to add menus into 1.1.6 to get to it)
