Who's In Chat for FlashChat
 

This is a mod for use with FlashChat - a $5 chat script that is worth WAY more than $5.

FlashChat can be purchased at http://www.tufat.com

Out of the box, FlashChat works with Vbulletin 3.

Screen shot?

Amy thanks for this, and for pointing out Flashchat.

Am I correct in assuming that this link assumes that Flashchat is installed in a folder that is a sibling of the vb forum, and it's called "FlashChat?"

fixed

Not a sibling - a child, but the directions indicate you should change that if you installed elsewhere.

I'll attach a screenshot in a second.

Hmmmm.. I get the output but after a group of four warnings displayed first:
Maybe it's a permissions problem?
Regards,

Matt

Matt, try doing a chdir before the include and then chdir back afterward.

What does this mod do? As you say, Flashchat already works with vB out of the box.

Better put: how does it look without the mod?

Just installed this mod - cheers :)

Flexo - it adds an extra table row under the "Currently Active Users" box in the "What's Going On" section on the Forum Home Page, and it lists the IDs of members who are in the Chat Room - handy for users who want to know who's in the room before going in themselves!

Bill ;)

At the minute, when there's nobody in the chat room the "Who's in Chat?" is blank (see attachment).

I was wondering if it would be possible to add something to this mod that would add a line of text saying something like "There are no users currently in chat" when the room is empty?

If so - how could it be done and can anyone do this?!! Cheers :)

Do it as a template conditional. Check to see if $chatwho exists or not. If it doesn't, print your "Nobody's in chat" phrase.

I had to do this in the php template

@require("./FlashChat/info.php");

instead of

require("./FlashChat/info.php");

To avoid getting the errors I mentioned above.

Regards,

Matt

i noticed that when I use this hack it messes up the arcade.. the who's in chat works great but this is the error it gives me when I try to access the arcade, any suggestions??

It has something to do with the phpinclude_start file because when i delete the entry all works fine accept for the who's in chat then... go figure... can you help me??

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare getmicrotime() (previously declared in /www/a/adventurers/htdocs/forums/FlashChat/inc/common.php:123) in /www/a/adventurers/htdocs/forums/includes/functions_arcade.php on line 3

fixed it nevermind :)

Thanks for the reply Amykhar.

I'd already thought about a conditional but as a noob it's not something I know how to do just yet! I did however adjust the info.php file to show a text line of "Users currently in chat:" which displays a zero when nobody is in the room and then the number of people who are in when it's being used - with their ID underneath as usual.

Cheers :)

I'm a little new to the vB code. If it's not too much trouble could someone please elaborate on this some? :confused: Thanks!

Just curious if anyone else is having any issues in Firefox. The Enter key no longer sends the message it returns a line and the background doesn't display properly. Everything works fine in IE though.

For some reason my text has become larger when I have the who's in chat activated. I like it with a smaller font, I'll post pics of what I am talking about

One on the left is what it does when activated, the one on the right is the way it's always been.

I had the same problem and it involved the HTML from the FlashChat info.php. I removed the HTML from mine but you may be able to close the tags somehow instead. I have no use for displaying that file any longer now that it shows in the who's online. Someone else may know a lot more than I do but that's where I tracked it to.

I got a couple of questions

1 - how to a get it to say "No one in Chatroom" when the chat is empty?
2 - how can I get on the display the usernames like it does in the who's online?
3 - Can this be added to vBadvanced as a block?


thanks

Got my issue resolved...just took out the HTML in the info.php

Help, I am obviously putting the information in the wrong location on the FORUMHOME template, however, I cannot seem to figure out where it goes :mad:

Here is a pic, could someone help?

Ok, another problem, my co-admin recently upgraded to the newest version and now the Who's in Chat isn't working, I don't see how it wouldn't since I put back the info.php file from this thread into there and when I type in the URL my name shows up but it doesn't show up in the ForumHome even though I haven't changed the templates

EDIT: I fixed it

try this thatmusicdude

How did you guys fix the arcade problem. I'm having the same problem...

The username on forumhome is to large, how can i get it smaller? It does not work when i set it between font tags.

I've deleted the first function (with getmicrotime) out of the functions_arcade.php

Anyone having logout from vbulletin issues after being in the chatroom? I found others with this too. Looking for correct fix. thanks

...........

Could someone be so kind as to tell me where I should place the code on the ForumHome template...Seems that I am not doing it right and it is not looking as it should. Thank you everyone!!!

Anyone? I would really like to get this up and running and it is not working....

I got it installed. Easy $$.. The info that is placed in the Forum Home is at the bottom.. Doesnt look very good. I am probably going to remove it.

Ya I got that part, what I do not understand is why it always shows me in the chat?

Alright, problem solved, restored database and got rid of this hack. It does not work properly and has too many bugs.....No support (which I can understand, people are busy)

Hack should probably be put in a beta stage and tested some more.

-- error after installing hack!! HELP!

Viks, hack does not work properly...try this though:

Do this in the php template

@require("./FlashChat/info.php");

instead of

require("./FlashChat/info.php");

what effect does this have on the arcade?

well, i found out what removing that function in functions_arcade.php does.

it stops several games that depend on that function from writing any new scores. nobody should remove that function if they want their arcade to work. i think i'd rather have a functioning arcade than be able to see who'd online in the chat.

is there any way to get this working for a forum that has an arcade?

Sorry if has been asked, but I have found it anywhere.

Can this srcipt be integrated with VB, whereas it loads within it? LIke a hack I guess.

I took out the html tags in the info.php but my forumhome is still in larger text. Has anyone resolved this issue?
