Forum Home Enhancements - Who is chatting (for Flashchat)

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This is a simple display of who is currently chatting in FlashChat - on the forum homepage display.

The main features of the 3.6 version are basically the same as previous versions ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home with the "Users online" display.
2. The list view is collapsable, so you see just the number.
3. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc are displayed correctly (based on the display usergroup)
4. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the room they are chatting in and their status (away etc).
5. If the chat is empty, a simple "no one is chatting" message is displayed.
6. The hack is phrased.
7. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
8. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
9. The location of the flashchat folder is now an ACP option
10. The option to record and display the Most Ever chatters has been added (v4.46+).

(Options are located in vBulletin Options > Who Is Using Flashchat).

Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

To upgrade from the 3.5 version you need to re-import the product with the overwrite option set to yes.


Note: This hack cannot display any bots in the chat, due to the strange way that flashchat stores this information.

Please also note that I have no connection with the Flashchat product - if you have questions about Flashchat functionality then their forums are located here.

sorry paul, I know your busy.


I'm just looking for a way to move the " who's chatting" from the bottom of
my site to left side area of my homepage. Its working great and I'm sure my answer is somewhere in these pages, just haven't had time yet.

thanks again.

It's not really designed to be moved, allthough all the options are provided - you would need to disable the auto template injection and manually edit your templates to display what you want, where you want.

installed and up and running thanks!

Shoot. I installed this and when I loaded my index page, it was just a blank white screen. When I disabled it, things were back to normal. Anyone else experience this?

[Paul M]

That's usually a sign of a php error, but error display being disabled on your server by default.

Add this to your config.php ;

PHP Code:

ini_set('display_errors', 'On');

Hi there,

I would like to translate the text of the file into German ... unfortunately I have no idea, which parts of the file can be altered without causing mistakes. Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance!
