Yeah!

Ask the makers of flashchat if they would like to convert their code to use constants instead of variables.

I don't think there is anything that is now going to bridge with IP, that used to bridge with phpbb 2*. Inasmuch as I understand it, Coppermine no longer works with, or is supported for phpBB3 either. I assume they have the same problem with flashchat.

It's called "Progress", for the want of another word.

Just use the bridge (as it is decribed for phpbb) and it works. There are no problems working with IC but I don't know if there're any security bugs.

i used flashchat on ip .27c using the phpbb2 bridge....

so I would have thought with rc1 phpbb2 would still be the best to use...

You would need to start editing the bridge file for phpBB2* here and suss it through as you go.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<?php

	define('IN_PHPBB', true);

	$phpbb_root_path  = realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../../') . '/';

	include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');

	include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);

	include($phpbb_root_path . 'config.php');

	error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

For example: extension inc no longer exists and will crash the script on the first attempt to bridge it. Neither is it any longer defined in phpBB. I also doubt that you would need to include config.php ? And further, IP no longer uses $phpEX - it uses PHP_EXT.

But! The real smart thing to do would be for those who want FlashChat, is to contact Darren at "FLashChat" and ask if they would make a bridge for IP as it no longer uses the standard phpBB2* script or bridge.
