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.

At a guess, your chat is not correctly integrated with vb (an obvious sign would be that you have to login to it).

Who is chatting (for Flashchat) and Cyb - Login To Other User Account are not playing well together... I love both of these applications, so hopfully either developer can contact one-another and try to fix this minor issue:

[Scenario]
With both mods active, I switch over to the Members page (members.php), and select a non-admin member. I select the 'Log In As User' button and now I'm logged in as that user...so far so good.

Now when I click on the 'here' button (see attachment) to log out of the account and back into the admin, I get the follwing error (also see attachment):

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/neosmutc/public_html/vb/chat/inc/config.php
Line: 884

If I disable the Who is chatting (for Flashchat) mod, the Cyb - Login To Other User Account mod works fine. I can login and logout of oter accounts w/out an issue.

Thanks!

Question - I imported it and it works great but how do I change the "Members currently using Flashchat:" to a text that I want to read? Is it too late since I imported the XML already? What steps do I have to take to do it if it's not too late?

Thanks!

It's a phrase - search for it in the phrase manager and edit it to what you want.

Thanks I needed that info

Thanks for this hack, it works great, I just need to hide to anybody see the location /forums/chat/getxml.php on the who's user online, how I do that?
Thanks

[Paul M]

That's not really anything to do with this, but what do you mean by "hide" it ?

[Masiello]

I intend that should not appear that address like /forums/chat/getxml.php without disable the users options from vBulletin to show path Url's

[Paul M]

You need this.
