Joomla! 1.0, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5 ( JomSocial and CommunityBuilder )
The AVChat Integration Kit for Joomla! handles the integration between your Joomla! 1.0, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5 web site and our AVChat 3 software.
Here's what the Integration Kit will do:
- user name integration
- profile url integration
- profile image integration (when JomSocial or Community Builder is present)
- placement of video chat within the web site (user and admin interface)
- allow you to setup different features/permissions for different Joomla! user groups
- etc.
Joomla! is actually the first CMS with which AVChat was ever integrated, and to this day it's the one we devote the most time to.
If you like the AVChat Video Chat Component for Joomla! don't forget to rate it and review it in the Joomla Extensions Directory!

1. Installing the AVChat Component for Joomla!
First you have to download 2 archives from your private client/trial area on avchathq.com to your computer. These 2 archives are:
- AVChat 3.0.zip (contains media server files for Red5/FMIS/Wowza and AVChat Standalone)
- avchat3_joomla_components_UNZIPFIRST.zip (contains the 3 components: one for Joomla! 1.0, one for 1.5 and one for Joomla! 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5)
Extract the 2 archives somewhere on your computer. We will use files from both archives.
After installation, the first time you will log in the video chat you will be asked or a license key, it's in your client/trial area.
1.1 Setting up the avchat30 application on the media server
First you need to install the avchat30 app on your media server. If you don't know what a media server is check out the requirements. If you already have a media server (Red5, FMIS, FMIS hosting, Wowza) here's what you need to do:
| Red5 0.8 installed on a dedicated or VPS server |
Wowza installed on a dedicated or VPS server |
1. Upload the avchat30 folder from the AVChat 3.0.zip/Files to upload to your media server (Red5 0.8) folder to the webapps folder of your Red5 0.8 installation (C:\Program Files\Red5\webapps on Win, /opt/red5/webapps/ on Linux). 2. Linux only: Chmod the new avchat30 folder to 777. 3. Restart the Red5 server You're done, move to Part 1.2 below |
1. Upload the applications, lib and conf folders from the AVChat 3.0.zip/Files to upload to your media server (Wowza) folder to the root folder of your Wowza Media Server installation (C:\Program Files\Wowza Media Systems\Wowza Media Server Pro 1.7.2\ on Windows). 2. Restart the Wowza server You're done, move to Part 1.2 below |
| FMIS installed on a dedicated or VPS server |
FMIS hosting from http://influxis.com |
1. Upload the avchat30 folder from the AVChat 3.0.zip/Files to upload to your media server (FMS) folder to the applications folder of your FMIS installation (C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server\applications on Windows, /opt/macromedia/fms/applications/ on Linux). 2. Linux only: Chmod the new avchat30 folder to 777. You're done, move to Part 1.2 below |
While logged in your influxis.com account: 1) Go to File Manager: Done. Your connection string used in Part 1.2 will look like: rtmp://123.rtmphost.com/avchat30/_definst_ where 123.rtmphost.com is shown at the top of your Influxis.com account. |
Now that we've got that out of the way, let's move on to installing the AVChat Component on Joomla! 2.5, 1.7, 1.6, 1.5 and 1.0 .
1.2.1 Installing the AVChat Component on Joomla! 1.5
- Login to your Joomla! 1.5 administrator area (http://yourJoomlaWebSite.com/administrator/) and go to Extensions -> Install/Uninstall.
- Click the Browse button next to the Upload Package File file field and select the Joomla! 1.5 component zip file (com_avchat3.zip) and then click the Upload File & Install button. You should now see a success message.
- Now using a FTP program go to the Joomla! installation folder/components/com_avchat3/ on your web server and put in there the contents of the folder named Files to upload to your web site from the AVChat 3.0.zip archive.
- Open Joomla! installation folder/components/com_avchat3/avc_settings.php in a text editor and set the value of
$avconfig['connectionstring'] like this:
$avconfig['connectionstring']='rtmp://myFMSserver.com/avchat30/_definst_';
where myFMSserver.com is the domain name or ip of the server where your media server is installed.- CHMOD the /components/com_avchat3/uploadedFiles folder to 777 (otherwise the upload function might not work)
- Create a new folder tokens (components/com_avchat3/tokens) and CHMOD it to 777 (otherwise we might have token generation issues later on)
- Close the FTP program cause we don't need it anymore!
- Back in the Joomla! 1.5 administrator area go to Components->AVChat 3->Login as Administrator into AVChat 3
- Type a user name, click [Connect], the video chat will connect to the media server. Once the connection succeeds you will be asked for the license key:
enter the key (it's in your client/trial area) and press [Submit]- Now, that the component and video chat are installed let's add a link to the video chat in one of the front end menus:
- Go to Menus -> Main Menu.

- Now using a FTP program go to the /components/com_avchat3/ folder on your web server and put in there the contents of the folder named Files to upload to your web site from the AVChat 3.0.zip archive.
- Open /components/com_avchat3/avc_settings.php in a text editor, and set the value of
$avconfig['connectionstring'] like this:
$avconfig['connectionstring']='rtmp://myFMSserver.com/avchat30/_definst_';
where myFMSserver.com is the domain name or ip of the server where your media server is installed.- Chmod the uploadedFiles folder to 777 (otherwise the upload function might not work)
- Create a new folder tokens (components/com_avchat3/tokens) and CHMOD it to 777 (otherwise we might have token generation issues later on)
- Close the FTP program cause we don't need it anymore!
- Back in the Joomla!
- administrator area go to Components->AVChat 3->Login as Administrator into AVChat 3
- Type a user name, click [Connect], the video chat will connect to the media server. Once the connection succeeds you will be asked for the license key:
enter the key (it's in your client/trial area) and press [Submit]- Now, that the component and video chat is install let's add a link to the video chat in one of the front end menus:
- Go to Menus -> Main Menu.
- Click on the NEW icon at the top right of the screen
- on the page that opens up select component from the top right list
- click the NEXT icon
- on the new page give the new menu item a name and select AVChat from the components list
- set the access level to Public (this controls who sees the chat link in the menu, visitors are still not allowed to join by default)

Now your users (and visitors, depending on the access level selected above) will see the new menu entry and that entry will take them to a page in your web site with the AVChat video chat embedded.
2. Accessing the AVChat admin interface in Joomla!
The AVChat admin interface allows you to kick and ban users, view private discussions, log in as hidden, close, open and delete rooms, change the license key, etc. .
For Joomla 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5
Joomla! 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5 has 3 default user groups for the administrators backend: Super Users, Manager and Administrator. Even if they can access the Joomla! backend, they will not be granted admin rights to the AVChat component. The Super User has to specifically grant the rights to the other groups.
Here's some screenshots of what the Super Admin must do IF they want to provide access to a certain user group in the Joomla! backend and to allow for that specific group to see the AVChat from the Joomla! backend.
Note: Even if the Super Admin gives permission for a user group to enter the Joomla! backend and to have access to the AVChat component administration, that user group will not be granted permission to AVChat admin interface if it is not granted permission by the Super User for that specific group from the Option menu in the AVChat administration area from the Joomla! backend.
To allow other user groups to access AVChat as admins, you have to edit the AVChat 3 Permissions by going to Components -> AVChat 3 -> Options -> Permissions tab -> Click on the user group you want to have access to the chat admin interface -> Allow Chat Admin Interface Access -> Save .
If you give a certain user group permission to access the admin area of AVChat, then he can access that through front-end and backend as well(if he has permissions).
For Joomla 1.5
Joomla! 1.5 has 3 user groups (levels) for the administrators backend: Manager, Administrator and Super Users. Every user that belongs to one of those 3 user groups can access the AVChat admin area.
So, Super Administrators, Administrators and Managers can all access the AVChat Admin Interface by going to Components -> AVChat 3 -> Login As Administrator in to AVChat 3 .
Here's a screenshot of the menu:
OK, but how can we limit their powers? We don't want Managers to be able to change the license key!
To do that (and this applies to all limitations) you need to:
- Login via FTP to your Joomla! web site
- Edit components/com_avchat3/ integration.php
- Find these lines of code:
if ($user->get('gid') == '18'){
//REGISTERED USERS permissions
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '19'){
//AUTHOR permissions
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '20'){
//EDITOR permissions
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '21'){
//PUBLISHER permissions
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '23'){
//MANAGER permissions
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '24'){
//ADMINISTRATOR permissions
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '25'){
//SUPER ADMINISTRATOR permission
}- and add $avconfig['adminCanAccessSettings']=0; in the MANAGER permissions block:
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '23'){
//MANAGER permissions
$avconfig['adminCanAccessSettings']=0;
}- Save and update integration.php on your web server with the newly modified one.
$avconfig['adminCanAccessSettings']=1 means users (admins) logged in trough the admin interface can not access the Settings panel from where you can change the license key:
You can do that for all the settings in avc_settings.php and for all 7 (fixed) user levels in Joomla! not just for the MANAGERS group. avc_settings.php also contains detailed explanations for each setting.
3. Location of AVChat files in a Joomla! installation
All the AVChat Standalone files including language files, audio/video quality profile files, avc_settings.php and, well, everything else are on your Joomla! web site in:
Joomla 1.5 and 1.0: Joomla! installation folder/components/com_avchat3/
Joomla 1.6, 1.7 adn 2.5: Joomla! installation folder/components/com_avchat3/chat/
In those folders you will also find some special integration files like integration.php. These contain all the logic behind the integration. They modify the default values in avc_settings.php for some settings (profile url, user name, permissions, etc.) depending on the logged in user/browser requesting them.
4. Opening up the video chat in a pop up
There are two ways to open the AVChat Video Chat Component for Joomla! in a pop up:
4.1 METHOD 1 : Using Joomla!’s default method:
- Log in the administrator area of Joomla!.
- Go to Menus -> Main Menu
- Edit the AVChat link
- When editing the link, set the On Click, Open in option to New Window without Browser Navigation (screenshot below)
- Click Save.
4.2 METHOD 2 : An awesome method that allows you to control the size of the pop up:
- Login to your web site via FTP and go to
- /components/com_avchat3/avchat3.php (in Joomla! 1.5 or 1.0)
- /components/com_avchat3/views/avchat3/tmpl/default.php (in Joomla! 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5)
- Find the object & embed html tags (highlighted with blue below):
- And replace them (the entire blue area) with this HTML code:
Joomla 1.5 and 1.0: <a href=”javascript:void(0);” onclick=”window.open(’/components/com_avchat3/index.html’, ‘AVChat’, ‘menubar=0, resizable =0, width=900, height=650′);”>Launch Video Chat</a>
In Joomla! 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5 there are 2 such embed codes on the HTML page (one for admin.swf and one for index.swf) and you will have to replace them both.
for index.swf replace with:
<a href=”javascript:void(0);” onclick=”window.open(’/components/com_avchat3/chat/index.html’, ‘AVChat’, ‘menubar=0, resizable =0, width=900, height=650′);”>Launch Video Chat</a>
for admin.swf replace with:
<a href=”javascript:void(0);” onclick=”window.open(’/components/com_avchat3/chat/admin.html’, ‘AVChat’, ‘menubar=0, resizable =0, width=900, height=650′);”>Launch Admin Video Chat </a>- Save the file and make sure you upload it back to the web server.
You can change the size of the pop up by editing the width and height properties in the code above.
5. Placing ads around the video chat
Placing ads around the video chat is simple. The video chat itself is actually a Flash .swf file embedded in a HTML file. In that HTML file you can place anything: links, images, AdWords ads, banners, etc. .
In the case of the AVChat Component for Joomla! the default HTML file embedding the index.swf file (main video chat file) is:
Joomla 1.5 and 1.0:
Joomla installation folder/components/com_avchat3/avchat.php
Joomla 1.6 and 1,7:
Joomla installation folder/components/com_avchat3/views/avchat3/default.php
In the case you're using the open in pop-up solution method mentioned at point 4.2 above the HTML file to look for is:
Joomla 1.5 and 1.0:
Joomla installation folder/components/com_avchat3/index.html
Joomla 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5:
Joomla installation folder/components/com_avchat3/chat/index.html
So to add ads around your video chat in Joomla! 1.5:
- Connect to your web site using FTP
- Go to /components/com_avchat3/
- Edit or avchat.php with a text editor
- Place your ad code in it
- Save and upload back to web server
A little bit of HTML knowledge might be required tough to properly place the ads above, below or to the sides of the video chat.
6. Joomla!'s user groups and limiting features for specific user groups
For Joomla 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5
Joomla! 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5 come with 10 default user groups and the possibility to add more:
Each user in Joomla! 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5 must be part of at least one group. A user can be part of more than 1 group.
Managers, Authors and Super Users logged in the backend will have access to the admin interface (admin.swf). Limiting their admin features has been discussed at Chapter 2 above.
To limit powers for a certain user group you need to edit the permissions for the user group in the Permissions Tab:
If you change a setting, it will apply to this and all child groups, components and content.
Inherited means that the permissions from the parent group will be used.
Denied means that no matter what the parent group's setting is, the group being edited cannot take this action.
Allowed means that the group being edited will be able to take this action (but if this is in conflict with the parent group it will have no impact; a conflict will be indicated by Not Allowed (Locked) under Calculated Settings).
For example, if we want web site users part of the Registered user group (and all its child groups) to not be able to create rooms:
- Login as administrator
- Go to Components -> AVChat 3 -> Options -> Permissions -> Registered -> Allow users to create rooms -> Select Denied -> Click Save.
- This screenshot is similar to what you will see when changing the above permission:
Joomla 1.5
There are 7 FIXED user groups in Joomla! 1.5, 3 for the administrators area and 4 for the public front end:
Administrator groups:
- Managers
- Administrators
- Super Administrators
Public front end groups:
- Registered
- Author
- Editor
- Publisher
Each user in Joomla! 1.5 can only be part of one group!
When editing or adding a user in Joomla! 1.5 you can select the group he is part of:
Managers, Administrators and Super Administrators logged in the backend will have access to the admin interface (admin.swf). Limiting their admin features has been discussed at Chapter 2 above.
Registered, Authors, Editors and Publishers will have access to the user interface (index.swf). Limiting their features depending on the group the user belongs to is 100% similar to the way limitations work for admins.
For example, if we want web site users part of the Registered user group to not be able to create rooms:
- Login via FTP to your Joomla! web site
- Edit components/com_avchat3/ integration.php
- Find these lines of code:
if ($user->get('gid') == '18'){
//REGISTERED USERS permissions
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '19'){
//AUTHOR permissions
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '20'){
//EDITOR permissions
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '21'){
//PUBLISHER permissions
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '23'){
//MANAGER permissions
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '24'){
//ADMINISTRATOR permissions
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '25'){
//SUPER ADMINISTRATOR permission
}- and add $avconfig['createRoomsEnabled']=0; in the REGISTERED permissions block:
}else if ($user->get('gid') == '18'){
//REGISTERED permissions
$avconfig['createRoomsEnabled']=0;
}- Save and update integration.php on your web server with the newly modified one.
$avconfig['createRoomsEnabled']=0; means users logged in trough the user interface will not have the option to create rooms.
You can do that for all the settings in avc_settings.php and for all 7 (fixed) user levels in Joomla! not just for the REGISTERED group. avc_settings.php contains detailed explanations for each setting.
7. Allowing visitors to join the video chat and limiting their abilities
Allowing visitors to join the video chat in Joomla 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5
By default the AVChat Component for Joomla! does not allow visitors of your web site to enter the video chat. Only signed in users are allowed in the video chat.
To allow visitors into the chat in Joomla 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5 you have to: Login as administrator and Go to components -> AVChat 3 -> Options -> AVChat 3 General Options Tab -> Select "Allow" from Allow visitors to access the chat
Visitors will have the option to choose their user name and gender before joining the video chat.
Allowing visitors to join the video chat in Joomla 1.5 and 1.0
By default the AVChat Component for Joomla! does not allow visitors of your web site to enter the video chat. Only signed in users are allowed in the video chat.
To allow visitors:
- Login via FTP to your Joomla! web site
- Edit components/com_avchat3/ integration.php
- Set $allowVisitors = 1; (it's on line 12)
- Save and upload integration.php back to the web server
Visitors will have the option to choose their user name and gender before joining the video chat.
Limiting their abilities in the video chat, in Joomla 1.5 and 1.0
Limiting what visitors can do in the video chat is done pretty much the same way you limit the abilities of admins and members.
For example if I want to limit the ammount of free video time/ day (freeVideoTime var in avc_settings.php) to 3600 seconds/day I do the following:
- Login via FTP to your Joomla! web site
- Edit components/com_avchat3/ integration.php
- Find these lines of code (they're at the bottom, this is the block of code which contains the limits for visitors):
else if ($allowVisitors){
//Allow access to visitors
$avconfig['username']='';
$avconfig['changeuser']=1;
$avconfig['loginPageURL'] = JPATH_BASE;
...
} ;
- and add $avconfig[freeVideoTime]=3600; above $avconfig['username']=''; like this:
else if ($allowVisitors){
//Allow access to visitors
$avconfig[freeVideoTime]=3600;
$avconfig['username']='';
$avconfig['changeuser']=1;
$avconfig['loginPageURL'] = JPATH_BASE;
...
} ;- Save and update integration.php on your web server with the newly modified one.
The same process applies to all the variables in avc_settings.php. Remember, the values of variables in avc_settings.php are the default ones and they can and are overwritten by the values set trough integration.php.
Limiting their abilities in the video chat, in Joomla 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5
With the new ACL system introduced by Joomla! 1.6, the component permissions can be set easier. To setup permissions for AVChat 3 in Joomla! 1.6, 1.7 or 2.5, just login as administrator, go to Components -> AVChat 3, click on the Options button from the toolbar, and open the Permissions tab. A list will all the user groups and available AVChat 3 permissions will be displayed and you will be able to allow or deny various AVChat 3 features for each user group.
8. Changing the looks of AVChat to better fit your Joomla! web site
Changing the design of AVChat is explained in detail in the documentation for the standalone version.
For Joomla 1.5
When working with the Joomla! Component keep in mind that AVChat is installed in:
- /components/com_avchat3/ on Joomla1.5
- /components/com_avchat3/chat/ on Joomla! 1.6 and later
so all the files you need to edit (like style.css for fonts and colors, avc_settings.php for the background image, the files embedding the swf: avchat.php and index.html for changing the background color) are there.
9. Who's Chatting Module for Joomla! 1.5
In the avchat3_joomla_components_UNZIPFIRST.zip archive you will also find a folder named joomla1.5.x_whos_chatting_module . It contains an archive named mod_avchat3.zip.
It's a module for your Joomla! 1.5 web site that shows in the side bar a list of the users online in the video chat at that time.
To install it:
- Log in to your Joomla! 1.5 administrators area and
- Go to Extensions -> Install/Uninstall .
