Chat Modifications - Flashchat: Who is chatting

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.

Note: Version 3.7.003 and above are for Flashchat 5.0.x onwards, and will not work with Flashchat 4.x.x. Version 3.7.002 will currently continue to be available for Flashchat 4.

The main features of the 3.7 version are ;

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 an ACP option
10. The option to record and display the Most Ever chatters can be enabled.

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

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


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.

What addon ?

The Who Is Chatting (add on) by mosh.

I couldn't see the the box or anything when I used your mod but since I wanted the extra advantage of his mod I went ahead and added his too. When I did I was able to to see the box for who is chatting although the box is empty. I hope I'm not confusing you more but would like to get this sorted if possible. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank You Paul ... installed.

I have answered you in my thread.

Ok Paul I'm back, I still can't get this hack to work on my site.

Mosh was awesome enough to take a look and even created a test template and still no luck. I have 3 skins currently including VB's and in all the skins I can't even see the box. The test template that Mosh created is the only one that I'm able to see the actual box but there is still no information within it. I can forward you the pm between Mosh and I and see if there's anything else you might be able to get me to try. I'd really like to get this one working.

[Paul M]

I cant really help you unless you give me admin access to your forum.

[yaoren]

Paul I'll send you the pm which has admin access since Mosh was trying to get it to work for me. It'll also have an explanation of what he's done. Hope you'll be able to help me out

*Edit* Also, I thought I'd mention that I just upgraded from 3.7.0 RC4 to 3.7.0 Gold and still not able to view it in any style.

Can you give me advice on these weird extra characters that appear in my display:

Members currently using Flashchat: %1$s 0

Thanks! ~DEB
