FlashChat Integration

dancer4k · July 28, 2009, 06:30:27 PM

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the chat. The "show number of users in chat on chat button", altough checked in admin doesn't work. Also, the chat itself is not recognising the right users.

For example at the bottom of the main board where it says users currently in chat it will display the names of who is in there, say Bob, Sue and Gary. Only, they are not actually the people in the chat room. The people in the room are completely different users, say Reggie, Alan and Stacey.

This is a real problem and causing some confusion. I'm using SMF version 1.1.10, with a custom theme.

Is it something to do with the chat admin? Any ideas would be appreciated!

The mod has not been tested with this version of SMF as of yet. Hopefully I will have time to do the update in the next few days as I have some free time so that I can work on it.

Hi All,

As the mod to integrate FLashchat is no longer updated, I have installed flash chat with my smf 1.1.10

DOes anyone know how I can get a whos chatting to display in the smf pages?

Hi,
my host had to change server. After that (and many small problems...) I discovered that my chat is not working.
It seems to load but after the "Starting chat system" message nothing is shown in the blue screen.

But at the same time I had problem with server I upgrade to 1.1.10 (from 1.1.9 when it was working fine).
So question is if this problem is with my server change or the 1.1.10 and FlashChat Integration and/or FlashChat?

EDIT: Solved. It seems it was a problem with my new server at host.

OK, thanks, I will stay tuned. Looks like there are a few other people with 1.1.10 bugs. I like the chat and wouldn't want to have to replace it with something else.

Is it possible? the Admin Settings in the new version of this mod? (FlashChatSMF_2.0)

thanks in advance

the settings are actually there, but was put in the wrong place when it was released. This will probably be fixed in the next release.

I am in the process of updating this mod now. I hope to be done within a few days.

I have maged to sort this temporarily using an iframe

Code Select

<iframe frameborder="0"  height="50" src="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/chat/info_embedded.php" style="width: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; overflow: hidden;" scrolling="no" border="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

With a little tweaking of the info_embedded.php file I was able to chane it from a vertical list to horizontal.

Be good to get a full integration though :-)

I have the 2.0 version updated and all the settings added back into the admincp so that the chat will open inside the forum. It will take me about a day to test it and make sure there are no bugs and write the install. Just wanted to give you all an update on where this was.

The 1.1.x version will be updated but it is not on my priority list at the moment. I have updated the 2.0 version already but it still needs to be tested. I hope to get to the 1.1.x version within a week or so.

Ok the 2.1 version is on the mod site. Please let me know if you find any bugs. It should be as simple as uninstalling the old mod and installing this version. Given that all test pass.

tyty1234 · August 01, 2009, 10:13:12 PM

Well adjust the width and height.... That's what the settings are for

tyty1234 · August 02, 2009, 02:17:20 AM

well, the width is at 100%, i set the height to 600px (which should be the default) results in this.

I said more in the pm I sent ya.

Tyrsson · August 03, 2009, 08:44:12 AM

Should have this updated in a day or so.

Grinch843 · August 04, 2009, 09:26:27 AM

Installed 2.1 and looks good, but I can't get the "Open Chat In New Window" to work. Always opens in current window no matter what the setting is.

Thanks,
Grinch843.

I will most likely update the text strings to reflect that this is the default behavior for this setting. New window means that it will open "outside" of the forum.
