For $5 this flash based chat SMOKES the one in this thread and integrates with the member database easily (the author provides the info for vb integration). I've used it for a month or so and my members love it.

Is there a way of showing who is on the chat in the 'Who is online' page?

yea i need help too, how do u "call" the script?

"Calling" the script means browsing to it from your favorite web browser. For example:

http://www.Your-Domain.com/YourChatP...stallation.php

Every time you click on a PHP link you are "calling" or "running" one or another PHP script parsing files, which, in turn, dynamically creates an HTML page for you. Just like when you did your original install of vB, unless of course you have an illegal copy. That's why php install files must be deleted after use, they can reveal far too much about your setup.

do you know of a way of displaying who´s in chat in ´who is online page´?

Can someone make the chat so it looks and behave as the shoutbox? There is a big advantage because of the instant refresh when text is typed. All loggedin members will then shoot trough the loginsection of this chat and can talk instantly on forumhome. :)

Nice hack, but the Vbulletin intergration addon is not downloadeble :(

Sorry some DNS work made the link unrereachable yesterday. I guess that's why Xenon reminded me that the code must be attached to the first post. The Member.php attached to the first post is what you need, or you can follow the link I provided for an alternative download as it is working again.

As for showing the chat users in "Who's Online" - Chen's hack should do the job nicely:

EDIT: Opps Chen's hack is for version 2. Anyone know of a similar hack for vB 3?

I like this idea! Boy would it increase the forumhome pageviews alot. I remember seeing a hack out there that lets you include flash on forumhome. It would be simple work to make that chat look like an embedded shoutbox by changing the look. Gears are starting to turn....

Chen said he is not going to port his hack to vB3.

Can tell me how you used your users.php (to see who's on chat) on your Home page?
