I don't know if any of you will find this useful but its something that I've wanted for a while. For me, the problem with all of the other "who's in chat" hacks is that most of them require something crazy to work (I have no idea what an eggdrop is). Anyway, this one is php/mysql based and should be easy to install.

Description: This will add a new section to your "What's going on?" block which will display a list of users who are currently chatting or viewing the included chat.php page (see screenshot). The list of current chatters is updated every 60 seconds by an auto-refreshing (hidden) iframe in the chat page.

This hack should work with any embedded (web based) IRC chat.

Installation overview:
*Files to edit: (1) -index.php
*Files to upload: (2) -chat.php & icon_chat.gif
*Templates to edit: (1) -FORUMHOME
*Templates to add: (3) -chat_main, chat_chatters, & chat_chatbit
*Queries to run: (1) Adds the chatters table.

After that you simply add the html code to embed your chat applet in the chat_chatbit template. You can then view your chatroom by going to yoursite.com/forums/chat.php.

Note: The list of chatters is updated every 60 seconds, so usernames will still be listed in the "who's in chat" box for up to a minute after they leave the chat page.

Credits: The idea for refreshing the iframe to update the chattime came from John's "extend session" feature in his V3Arcade hack. So thanks John.

The wife (Internet Support Technician) seems to think you might have a corrupted IE installation. If you have the WinME CD, she suggests that you re-install IE. If you want, jumnp on the site and I will have her talk to you about it.

What if it doesn't work on my other browsers either? Well no matter, we can continue this discussion at your place as I have no wish to get the hack topic sidetracked.

By all means I'll click install in the meantime so I can more easily keep an eye on this thread.
Zelda,
It will work with any embedded IRC chat (and maybe even some other types). My favorite chat software is Jpilot which can be downloaded here:
http://www.jpilot.com/
Or if you just want a simple free IRC chat thats hosted by someone else you could try this one:
http://freejavachat.com/index.html
You can configure both of those so that they automatically log your users in with their vbulletin username.

Boofo,
I can't get your chat applet to load in my browser either. I've tried it at work and at home with no luck.

Can you get the chat here at vb.org to load?

Fine hack! Question, would it be possible to add a popup Window if someones enters the chat, and close it if he leaves? Someone did sometihing like that, then one has no need for refreshing...?

I've been trying out jpilot. It works fine and my fellow admins are agreed it's The Business! It's tested positively on IE6, Firefox and Opera7. Now I can finally get on with installing this hack.

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind.

Hack installed. Working fine. Anyone with the chat file NOT in the forum root directory will need to do some customising but I'm impressed at just how easy this hack is. I'm used to chat hacks being rather complicated.

Found pjirc here: http://www.pjirc.com/downloads.php
