Yeah, teh function for avatar urls is just taken from vBulletin itself, rather than write my own, so it's 100% compatible :)

@The Keeper Sorry, but this code gives me the same error...

Works fine on my site. :\ can you paste for me the entire copy of your index.php?

karlogaga why not just attach the file? :p

quasan I seem to be having probs with line "exif_imagetype", seems my server doesn't support it or something. Isn't that the same as "getimagesize"?

No avatars show up now ... I'm gonna check out your update closer a little later!

Thanks :)

do you have gdlib2 ?
or 1.6 ?

Greetings, i installed the hack, but from moment to moment, it shows me this error:

mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in ..../index.php on line 438

and the code is this on line 438:

line 437: $query_chatonline ="SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ".FLASHCHAT_PREFIX."connections WHERE userid IS NOT NULL";
line 438: $count = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query_chatonline));

How can i avoid this error to be happen again?

Thanks in advanced.

@parajsa

hi, you modified the sql command. as I wrote: No need to edit anything below" :)


Just define your flashchat database prefix here:
define(FLASHCHAT_PREFIX,"FLASH_");

replace the FLASH_ with your prefix

or if you aren't using a prefix
define(FLASHCHAT_PREFIX,"");

my gd version is (2.0.23)..

Hi there quasan,
I use the form: define(FLASHCHAT_PREFIX,""); coz i am not using prefix;

But it does continue to show that error, it is not permenent, but time after time, it show itself on the begginin of the forum.

What can i do, this happen, when a user enters the chat, or get out of it.

Thank u for ur help, and for the good hack.

@quasan the new code just shows the user-name, it doesnt show any avatars, not even the no-avatar.png... php-info says the version of gd is bundled (2.0.28 compatible)

we will try to locate any of your errors.
that couldn't be that hard, because I tried this mod on 2-3 vbulletins and it works.

I am back tomorrow and than the bughunting starts:)

sorry for these "bugs" but on my systems it just runs :rolleyes:

Can someone help me figure out how to not* show the avatars?
I just want the names to show up. Thanks!

I love the chat, but I'm looking for something a little more simple and a little more discreate with respect to any "Who's Chatting" feature.

In fact, I'm looking for something more along the lines of "how many" in chat. An accurate count of members in the chat room set next to the chat link on the navbar. Is there a code like this available? Or can you make one?

This would really help.

this would be great! i search for this too. don't need the avatars on the top...

Yea I been trying to figure out how to remove the avatars with no luck ;(

yea sweet i just found this hack here...would like it to show just the user names in the chat not the icons.

figured it out.

i put // infront of

and that stops the icon from loading.

Thanks Da_GoTTi! :)

Can you maybe update the zip file with the newest instructions? Following this thread is a bit confusing.

Thanks alot.

I am getting an error with this hack.

I have found that putting this hack in global.php rather than index.php I am getting more members using the Chat Room as they can see more easily who is in the chat room. Many of them only visit the index page once and then don't see it again until they log-out.

However, if I install the code into the global.php file then when someone is in the chat room the Who's Online Page doesn't work nor do a lot of the user profiles. THe pages instead return this error.

If you have any thoughts as to what might be causing this it would be appreciated.

hi quasan,
does this hack also display the avatar in the chat itself or just in the index ?

I get some errors when an upcomming even displays on the index page.

Warning: fopen(./appdata/appTime.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /FlashChat/inc/classes/chatServer.php on line 60

Any idea?

Is there a way to put this "Who's online" on every forum page? I tried inserting the code under FORUMDISPLAY but it doesn't show who's in flashchat

I had worked it and and was putting the script in global.php, and the template changes in the navbar template. However, if someone is in the chat room then the script stops Who's Online and most member profiles from working. So I am waiting to hear back with a fix for the error and then it will be good to go.

Great mod but a request.

Is there a way to change the font size of the username that is showing up? I'd like to make it smaller than default and nothing I've tried seems to work.

Any suggestions?

Find this in your edited index.php:
Replace with:
Worked fine for me. :)

hi guys,
i am so sorry that I didn't provide any updates in the past.
but there was a lot going on in my life

@fringehead
yo have to make the appdata dir writable to your server.
chmod it to 777

@Inzagi
just on the index. it's a hack for the vbulletin and not a hack of the chat itself

@all
i'll provide a new version the next days

Thanks CraigR - worked like a charm! :)

Now if I could only figure out how to make the "Who's In Chat" show up on every page instead of the just the main forums page I'd be in business!!

quasan ..... is there a way to do this? I tried adding it to the display template but it doesn't show the users/avatars of those in chat. I think this would be a useful mod so you can always tell when someone is in the chatroom. Also useful to update the "Who's IN Chat" since people do not randomly refresh the main forum home page, but moving to a new forum/thread will automatically refresh the "Who's In Chat" if its available on each page. What d'ya think?

Rather than putting the code in index.php you could put it in global.php then simply add the $chatter[usernames] part in a template that appears in all pages, such as header, footer, navbar. This way you will get the online users on every page.

Once again I have to extend thanks to you Craigr! Worked like a charm.

Thanks!

Noticed recently that when the code is put in global.php that the profile pages do not appear - it causes an MySQL error. Here are the symptoms:

When no one appears in "Who's In Chat" then clicking on a username brings up their profile with no problems. If the user shows up in "Who's In Chat" then clicking on the username (either in Who's Online or Who's In Chat) brings up the error mentioned about:

----------------------------------------------------

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT userid, username, IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid
FROM user AS user
WHERE userid IN (0Array,2)

mysql error: Unknown column '0Array' in 'where clause'

mysql error number: 1054

----------------------------------------------------

If I log everyone out of Flash Chat and refresh the forum page - I have access to the profiles again. What is causing this error? I haven't tried to reproduce this with the "Who's In Chat" code in index.php. This error is completely reproducible and seems to originate from this hack.

Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks,
Paul

BTW - I have the navbar template modded to have the "Who's In Chat" show up on each page.

We are in the same boat as TheArchitect. Our profiles break when people are in the chat room. Any fix for this? PnL posted the error.

Thanks,

Sean

We are going to have to install another flashchat mod. We really like this one, it's too bad it breaks the profiles... I see you guys haven't posted in about 1 month... I'm loosing hope!!! You never address the Architect's issues either.....

Sean

There is an alternative here. :)

nice hack & works well but for one problem.....

i use vBadvanced and have put this hack into a module - i have done this successfully (having put hack into global.php) and it works perfectly when operating within the forum
(i.e. www.gpcricket.com.au/forum/)
however when i go my other pages on the website
(eg. http://www.gpcricket.com.au/index.php?page=shirts)
that are controlled by vBadvanced the avatar does not appear and I get a 'x' in a box, like a missing pic file link, in its place above each name (see screenshots)

any assistance to retrieve the avatars from webpages outside of the forum would be greatly appriciated

FYI i have returned the module to text-based for the moment
