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.

is there a way i can intigrate the 'whos chatting' into the 'currently active users' box? instead of making a new table?? i wanted something like this...

Most users ever online was 00, 04-18-2007 at 06:32 PM.
bla, bla, bla, bla

Members currently using Flashchat: 0
No one is currently using the chat.

all in the same box just maybe put a page break in between them. i dont like the look of all the tables at the bottom looks cluttered.

Hi everyone.

This works nicely but it puts the "Who's Chatting" box in What's Going On at the bottom of the page. I don't see this in the forumhome template either so I don't know how to move it.

Is there a way to move Who's Chatting to the top of the forum home page?

Thanks.

Laura
