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.

Is there an easy way to adapt this to make it display in the Ultimate Side Columns?

[Meje]

Works brilliantly! Thank you

Can I easily change the image it uses - the whos_online.gif ?

Ive had a bit of a poke around, but cant see where I would need to go to change it?

Display_Chatters template.

I have a navigation tabs in my navbar. One is for chat. I would like to display on this tab, how many members are in chat.

I tried this:

PHP Code:

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/forum/misc.php?do=flashchat&room=1" title="Chat Room" id="mytab" class="tab">Chat <if condition="$totalchatters=='0'"><else />($totalchatters)</if></a> 


The conditional is added, so that it will not display if there are no chatters. I know this is likely not the best way to do it.

Anyway, the code $totalchatters does work on many pages, but not on blog.php, group.php and pages of various add ons.

Do you have any tips for what code to use?

Is there anyway to only display who is chatting on the main chat room? I've created a private chat room and I don't want any registered users to see who's in there, but they can see who's in the main one.

Thanks

There is no such facility.

Installed it, works great. One question/request:

Where it says "Members currently using Flashchat:" at the bottom, I want to have the word "Flashchat" in that sentence be a clickable link that takes you to the Flashchat itself.

A little help here about what to do?
