Flashchat 4: Who is chatting (Add On) · **Released**: 02-19-2009

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This hack has now been discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates as this thread is no longer monitored. I am also not interested in doing paid work requests to update this hack at all.

IMPORTANT NOTICE 2: This hack only works with FlashChat 4.7.12, and will not work with FlashChat 5.x.x.
There is version of this hack that will work with FlashChat 5.x.x and later versions, and can be downloaded here.

What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr]
This is an add-on/enhancement to Paul M's Flashchat: Who is chatting hack.
This is the v3.8 port of my v3.7.x hack with extra 10 extra display locations, and enabling display locations per usergroup via usergroup permissions (no longer centrally, so allowing extra flexability).

What hacks need installing before installing this hack?
These hacks need to be installed in this order and working correctly, for this hack to work.

Tufat's FlashChat v4.7.12
Paul M's Flashchat 4 Integration for vB 3.8 v3.8.001
Paul M's Members who are chatting in Flashchat 4 v3.8.001
Then install this hack.

This does not change the functionality of Paul M's hack, this is just an enhancement to your installed version of Flashchat: Who is chatting.

The members on my forum requested that the Members currently using Flashchat box be moved to the top of the forums as it was a long way to scroll down to see who was chatting, at the top members could see who was chatting.

As members had to enter the chat or visit the forum homepage again to see who was chatting, I fixed it so that my members could also see who was chatting as they browsed the various forums and threads as well as on the who is online pages.

Paul M's has kindly given me permission to use some of his code in my Who is chatting add-on hacks.

Thank you Paul, for all your work on the Flashchat integration, it makes all our lives easier

What You Get

It displays the chat list under the navbar in the following locations:
- Forum Home
- Forum Display
- Show Thread
- Who is Online
- Members Profile pages
- Search pages
- Tag Search
- Social Groups
- Calendars
- FAQ
- Albums
- User Profile
- UserCP
- Private Messages
- Subscriptions
- Members List
The list view is collapsible, so you see just the number.
Users who should display as coloured or bold etc are displayed correctly (based on the display usergroup)
If you 'hover' over a username it will show the room they are chatting in and their status (away etc).
If the chat is empty, a simple "No one is currently using the chat." message is displayed.
Display the Most Ever chatters if enabled.
The ability to turn it on/off is in the AdminCP Options (independent of Paul M's hack).
The ability to select which locations this hack is displayed (independent of Paul M's hack).
The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list (again, independent of Paul M's hack).

Note: This hack cannot display any bots in the chat, due to the strange way that FlashChat stores this information.

Works perfect thanks!

EDIT: I just had an idea to match my edit. I am going to redo that icon so it says "Join Chat". Just having an icon of people hide the fact that it is actually linked.

What do you think?

Attached is a simple text image to replace the icon. I will post what I come up with as a better looking button icon.

Good idea

hi there.

i seem to have goofed up and am hoping you can help or point me in the right direction.

i had FC4 in my 3.6 Vb board. when upgrading to 3.8 i noticed FC5 was here.
i installed the FC5 and the members did not like the new sounds, and i was unable to figure out how to change them to the old style.
i "thought" i followed the instructions on how to uninstall the product.
i then when ahead and installed FC4 and was on my merry way.

well i am too having this problem, and relize it is my own fault.
i have uninstalled FC5 and have FC4 up and running and can not edit my usergroups.

i have tried reinstalling ms_wic_addon.xml and uninstalling it in hopes that it would fix the error in the DB. but it has not.

so i am not out of ideas and wanted to ask you for an idea or if you could lend a hand.

Thanks for making great products.
Rob

You need to delete the bitfield_ms_wic_addon.xml file from your /includes/xml/ folder (which you did not delete when you uninstalled FC5).

Well from the error you posted above, that would have been the solution. Can you post the error you are getting, not the one Locutus2999 was getting please?

This is the thread for help/support, and I do not provide free support via email.

If I can not help you resolve this issue via this thread, then I will probably need to look at your installation itself to find out exactly what is causing the issue.

For some reason you have lost the ms_wic4_addon_permissions column from the usergroup table in the database, which is why you are having issues.

From the installation instructions for this hack, do Step 3 again, allow overwrite.

If that does not work, then uninstall the product from the AdminCP and then do Step 3 again.

If that does not work, then let me know.

Hi all,

It is with regret that after over 4 years (and thousands of hours) spent providing free support for my free hacks released here, as of today I will no longer be able to provide support for free.

This is due to being unemployed for a while, being strapped for cash and unable to rely on the virtually non-existant donations from here to help to pay the bills or put food on the table for my family. I am now providing all support for my free hacks released here over at Wolfshead Solutions via an annual support subscription (for a small fee).

It does not mean I will be no longer release free hacks, I will, but I will just no longer be supporting them for free.

My free hacks have and always will remain free to download and use. And so will updates/bug fixes.

I will be releasing more free hacks, but if you require any support at all for those free hacks, you will need to purchase an annual support subscription over at Wolfshead Solutions to receive support.

I am really sorry I have to do this, but revenue generated by my programming gigs are now my only source of income, and I can no longer afford the luxury of providing free support here, when that time can be spent creating new commerial products, doing paid work requests or providing paid support to pay the bills.

Thank you for the understanding.

Regards,

Mosh.
