Flashchat - who is online with showing the chatters avatars
 

this is a beta release of a "who is online" mod for Flashchat

Version 0.2

What's new:

• now working with prefixes for the database tables
• now working with gif-avatars too
• resize option (yes / no)
• better image quality because of gdlib2

Features:

• generate dynamically resized avatar-pics for the chatting users
  and displays them on the forumhome with the username and a link to their profile

issues/bugs/ todo:

• if too many users are chatting, the tablerow grows and grows instead of breaking into a new tablerow (fixing it later)
• doesn't show avatars when they aren't stored in the db(thekeeper)

note: you need the gdlib2

installation and upgrade information inside the .zip

looks good, will try it out ;)

Excellent FlashChat mod.. much better than including the info file using phpinclude (I often had probs with that if 3 or more people were in the room) but this hack 7 people in the room and just one extra query on the forumhome, superb stuff.. thanks :)

Hey just installed FlashChat and was looking for something like this! Great job!!

*clicks install

*theArchitect clicks install*.

Great work. I was going to developing something similar, this has saved me having to do it.

Hi Quasan,

this must be an amazing hack if it works! I wonder if you could explain how to do these things a little bit more precisely, as if you were writing for someone who is handicapped in his coding abilitys, cause i really am! (and i still want to implement this very much)

The first thing i dont understand is where you write:

, i wonder how to write that URL if the forum is in a subfolder, like http://www.test.com/forum , do i have to write it like that or does it need a "/" at the end?

Next thing is:

, ok, just like this:

<td>$chatter[usernames]</td> ? I wonder...



And also for this part:

..it would be very, very helpful for someone like me who is still learning to have a little but complete example, to see how the syntax of this works.

I hope i didnt work on your nerves too much, i guess for you it is hard to imagine how someone could not know these things i'm asking for...

I would appreciate it very much if you could help me out with this, and anyway thanks for sharing your work!

Might be a stupid question, but how do I get into chat? I've installed it, and when I go to the /chat directory it asks for a user and pass. The only one which works is my admin pass, but I didn't buy this to sit in the chatroom myself.

Hey keeper did you follow the vB integration instructions that came with FlashChat?

quasan, this is pretty nice! I was wondering if there was a way to have the same hack without all the re-size options? The avatars on my forum are already small enough and don't need to be resized.

I installed the wrong FlashChat, that guy has two out.
