Flashchat: Who is chatting

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This is a simple ForumHome display of who is currently using your Flashchat.

Version 2.20 is for use with Flashchat 4.1.x - however, it may work with older versions of Flashchat if set-up correctly.

The main features of Version 2.xx are ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home with the "Users online" display.

2. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number.

3. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc should be displayed correctly. (based on the display usergroup)

4. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the room they are chatting in.

5. If the chat is empty, a simple "no one is chatting" message is displayed.


Note: This will not display the names of any bots in the chat, due to the strange way that flashchat stores this information.


With help from Cyricx a CPMS module is located in this post. (Version 2.20 only, unsupported - use at your own risk).

I have the same problem with a user. What is the proper way for members to log out? When I leave the chat I am automatically logged out (Mac platform).

Thanks.

Using the red Circle (or X) in the top right of the flashchat screen.

I added a message when the chat rooms are empty with a link to flash chat login to encourage people to use it.

"The Chat Rooms are currently empty. Click here to enter now. Use your Acorn Domains forum username and password to gain access"

Great mod

Thanks!

I figured that was the proceedure. :> It would be nice if we could create a reminder of some kind to click that before leaving chat.

If your integration is set-up correctly then they should log in automatically (as long as they are logged into the forum).
