FlashChat Integration

[Tyrsson]

It pulls the permissions for Global moderators and admins. Beyond that people are regular users. This will not be expanded.

well, not as part of the mod, but it IS possible...


just set the check for moderator group permissions around the chat button and in the chat function...

Re:  some members being banned from chat when they haven't been banned by admin or moderator

There's a little kink.  Anyone with a primary member group, any primary member group other than admin or global moderator (groups 1 and 2 respectively), gets banned from FlashChat.  This happens even if they are also in a post-count based group.  The mere existance of a primary member group (other than group 1 or 2) screws them up for chat. 

Those in member group 1 are assigned as admins in the chat.  Those in member group 2 are assigned as moderators in the chat.

A non-coder solution is to simply remove all primary member groups (except admin and global mod) and put all member groups to which a member belongs as secondary member groups.  The headache, of course, is that when you add a list of people to a group and they don't already have a primary member group, that new group is made their new primary.

You can change each individual member's member groups from their profile.

I haven't a clue how to fix it with code.

I had this same problem previously and I edited a file in order to remedy it.  Unfortunately, I haven't had flashchat operating over the past 6 months, so I don't remember what the fix is.  Since I just reinstalled the mod again, I am running into the same problem like this again.  Once I remember what the fix was, I'll post.  I'm just posting this, so if anyone else knows the fix in the meantime they might post the fix.



UPDATE

OK, I found where I got the fix from and here it is.

You could do that with the above link.  It tell you how to add membergroups, so you could always use the same area to LIMIT membergroups by deleting them

just edit the code to only allow the mod/admin groups and the rest shouldn't be able to get in at all.

ok i'm not sure if this has happened to any one else or if i have done something wrong.

i'm using smf2.0rc1.2 and the flash mod version 2.1.1 and flashchat version v5.0.11

i installed flashchat and clicked to intergrate and chose smf2.0 on the list i then went to install the mod which it did apart from a few files which i had already modded as i tryed to do a manual install however i have a problem now where i install mod through package manager installing manually didn't cure problem.
now when i try to go to the home page of the forum i get this

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'INC_DIR../temp/config.srv.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/sites/caringforhuskies.com/public_html/forum/chat/inc/config.srv.php on line 2

if i delete the file it refers to i then get a database error on the home page saying the tables are mising with this error

Table 'web176-smfforum.connections' doesn't exist
File: /home/sites/caringforhuskies.com/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs.php
Line: 3199

then i click on the chat button and get

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/sites/caringforhuskies.com/public_html/forum/chat/inc/config.srv.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/sites/caringforhuskies.com/public_html/forum/chat/inc/common.php on line 77

and if i goto the admin panel and click on the flash chat setting i get

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare modifyflashchatsettings() (previously declared in /home/sites/caringforhuskies.com/public_html/forum/Sources/ManageSettings.php:2012) in /home/sites/caringforhuskies.com/public_html/forum/Sources/ManageSettings.php on line 2060

if i unistall the mod i can get everything working as normal and can get to the chat by pointing the browser to chat directory.

i have no idea what is going on as i am no good with coding.

i downloaded the free version of flash chat don't know if this makes  a difference.

any help greatly apreciated

ok thanks any idea how i can integrate thw new version of flash chat or download the old version of flash chat

[Kindred]

well, 5.x flashchat does link with smf with no problems and without this mod.   the only thing this mod does is present the chat in the forum wrapper and move some of the admin options into smf admin...  nothing critical.

I've been trying to install this mod on SMF 1.1.10.  I've tried it on a fully-working board with a bunch of other mods and a fresh install with this as the only package.  Permissions have been set to 777 in the entire chat directory.   Flashchat version is 5.0.1.1  The error I get is as shown.  I would REALLY like to get this going as it's exactly what I've been looking for.

Which version of the mod are you using? The newest version allows you to set the width in the admincp area of modsettings.

Yes there is a version that should work with 1.1.10. I have not had time to test it thought, but see no reason why it wouldn't work.

I was also wondering the same thing..

So we can install your mod with SMF 1.1.10?
or just flash chat?

[Kindred]

   you must have smf AND flashchat already installed and working before you install this mod.
