Flashchat: Who is chatting · **Released**: 12-17-2004

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).

Is the upgraded version supposed to work with the newly released FlashChat 4.0? If so, mine is not working

. I logged into chat and refreshed the forum homepage to find it still said no users in chat. Is this supposed to be working with 4.0?

The upgrade was nothing to do with any version of Flashchat, it was an alteration to take account of the displaygroupid in vB.

However, this hack works perfectly for Flashchat 4.0.0 (beta) - I have been running this version of the chat on our forum for 2/3 weeks now, so you must have made a mistake somewhere.

I must, however FlashChat came out of beta on the 21. It worked well when I was working with the beta, but not now. I'll post up part of my index.php file and forumhome template

Hmmm. I wasn't aware that it had been released in full - I'll grab the latest version then to see if anything has changed.

Yeah, there are now two VBCMPS files. VBCMPS2 being for 3.0.7. Also, I know commen.php and many other files changed drasticly. There were also changes to the MYSQL tables. This may be the problem.

PS: Do not install the bots

, there is a bug where if you install them with a cms you will get call to undefined member errors. This is supposed to be fixed in a later release.

Paul M · #**137** 04-24-2005, 10:11 PM

Well they really f**ked up from 4.0.0 beta to 4.0.1 didn't they

- Yes, the BOTS are a pain - I had to edit proc.php despite turning them off.

The problem with the hack seems to be down to the fact that 4.0.1 now uses it's own table prefix system with vB - as well as the vB table prefix system - and to make it worse, there is an error in the CMS2 file as well. The default prefix they use seems to be "flashchat_", but you will find it in the config.srv.php file as below ;

Code:

<?php
	$GLOBALS['fc_config']['db'] = array(
		'host' => 'localhost',
		'user' => 'sqluser',
		'pass' => 'password',
		'base' => 'database',
		'pref' => '',
//		'pref' => 'flashchat_',
	);
?>

Try the following experimental fix and let me know how it goes.

Works great perfectly

However where it says

PHP Code:


			


require_once('./flashchat/inc/config.srv.php');

Should read

PHP Code:


			
require_once('./chat/inc/config.srv.php');

FlashChat 4.0.1 uses a folder called chat now instead of FlashChat. any new people that will use this hack will run into a file error if it is not changed. Either this, or it can be made a note in installation to change this variable to your directory

.
Great job Paul

Don't you just love consistancy, why do they change things just for the sake of it.

I will make a note of it, people who upgrade from 3.x.x to 4.0.1 will probably retain the flashchat folder (as I did).

Yup, you have to love it

I myself just changed the folder to the name chat. I try to keep everything as it came as much as possible

. Even with these problems some of which plain acts of negligence on the coding side my members still like 4.0.1, and that's what makes them and myself happy
