phpmychat who's online (works with vB3)

Been done lots before, and is *very simple*, but this will work with pretty much most versions of vB and it definitely works with vB3! It's really not difficult as it's basically a (minor) mod of files included with phpmychat distro.

The following can be used to display "who's in chat" using PhpMyChat, either integrated (with Stasiks integration hack) or out of the box. It can be used with standalone chat dB or chat dB that has been integrated with vB, there are no vB files to hack, and only one template to edit. Again, vBintegration is not required, shared databases are not required for this to work.

It doesnt get much simpler. There are 3 steps....
1 file to upload.
1 addition to phpinclude template.
1 edit of forumhome template.

Cool, 2 installs no questions.

Dead simple innit?

I should point out that in the screenies, I have the "who's chatting" box in a side panel, but you can put it anywhere - even on a none-vB page (although I havent tested that, I can see no reason why not).

It just gives you "$chatters" which will give you a list of chatters pretty much wherever you put it. You can wrap it up in your own html to make it look however you want.

The refresh time is set by your phpMyChat options. I have mine set to update every 60 seconds - it's not instant, but it's close enough.

Trilobyte,
I'm curious if you could help me.
I need the IRC chat integration into Vb 2.3, I need it free and I'd like to have a place on my forum where people see who is chatting. Where is this item on Vb. When I do a search on vb.org I get nothing but confused with the pirc, mirc, irc, and so forth that I don't know what to install.

What do you recommend?

This hack is for the phpmychat 0.14.5 script. Find it here :http://www.phpheaven.net/en.html

Look here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=21329

For Stasik's integration hack with vBulletin.

Many people prefer IRC, it's faster, less of a resource hog and way more powerful for a skilled user. There are some nice integration scripts too, but I have yet to find one that displays "users in chat now" with any reliability.

I suppose it depends on what your needs are. My forum users (www.britishblades.com) are more familiar with hitting bits of hot steel with hammers, than configuring irc clients & chan's, they just wanted a simple chat program, with an auto login, acessible to all the members and private for members only, they also wanted a method of seeing who was in the chatroom as the surf the forums. PhpMyChat fits this brief better than IRC, or even java front ends for irc.

However, if your forumites are experienced and competent users, they will undoubtedly prefer an IRC chan, preferably one they can access with mIRC, with a java applet for those less skilled. But it comes at a price. I was using jIRC for a while, with mixed results. My site is mainly (but not exclusively) for UK users. I had a real hard time finding a host that would work internationally, with reliability, that was free of trolls.

PhPMyChat - is the best option for me at the moment. It may be good for you also, or it may not.

I have a quick question. I installed everything and it works great [wonderful directions- thank you!] except I HATE the look of how it says "Who's in chat." I checked the code and saw the

<span class="normalfont">

tag which I am unfamiliar with. I deleted that and inserted a normal font tag like:

<font face="verdana" size="1">

and the result was that that entire cell of the table scrunched up into about two pixels and you couldn't see or read anything at all.

Can someone tell me how to change my "normalfont" [which is unlike all the rest of the fonts on my entire forum] so that it matches everything else, or instruct me as how to use the other tag without ruining the table?

Thank you! =)

Thanks for pointing this out Kristie, I overlooked it.

< span class="whatever>yourtext< /span>

...is how vBulletin 3 uses css classes for just about everything. I wrote this up for vB3 and this is a legacy of that. I've updated the install file so it should work with pre-vB3 forums.

you need to replace:
Code:
<b /><span class="normalfont">Who's in Chat</span></b />
With:
Code:
<b><font size="2">Who's in chat</font></b>
There is another instance further down you'll need to alter as well, take a peek in the updated install file if you need help.
