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.

Hey I have this installed and everything but it's not showing up unfortunately

http://www.gossiprocks.com/forum/

Even upgraded to the latest version of flaschat, I had this on 3.5.4 previously and it worked fine

Edit: OK figured it out It's the plugin based template cache. Do you know which template I need to exclude for this to work? I tried FORUMHOME but that wasn't it
