Chat Modifications - Members who are chatting in Flashchat 6.

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Note: I no longer use Flashchat, and development and support of it at Tufat appears to have died in 2010.

vBulletin 4.x Version

** This is not compatible with vBulletin 4.0.7 or Less **

Please remember to click Mark as Installed if you use this modification.
Please fee free to nominate this modification for the MOTM, and/or use the donate link provided (Support Developer).

This is a simple display of who is currently chatting in FlashChat - on the forum homepage display.

Note: This modification is for Flashchat 6, it will not work with Flashchat 4, and may not work with Flashchat 5.

The main features 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 option to record and display the Most Ever chatters can be enabled.
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).

Added in v4.0.2
9. The list view can be set to be always collapsed on page load.
10. The mod will try and detect if Flashchat is installed, and display an error if not.
(Options are located in vBulletin Options > Who Is Using Flashchat).

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


Further Notes:

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

I have no connection with the Flashchat product - if you have questions about Flashchat functionality then their forums are located here.

Only one question, please ... do you see a chance to generally realize this :

(Sidebar Forum 4 - not as widget)

I always thought and got the feedback too, that the information "who is online in the chat" in "Whats going on?" does not arrest attention, cause it`s placed at the bottom of the forum.

Thank you again and merry christmas!

+1 It was better....

I was just wondering if the was away of putting it in one of the forum blocks, That way I could have it showing near the top of the forum making it more visible to members.

Edit:
Sorry I see it was already posted here.

It is not possible with this, no - it would require a completely new modification. ATM I have no idea how those sideblocks even work, I might look into it when I have some spare time.

I thought I would contribute for once. =) I have a chat block "mod" that I posted here.

I recommend still using this mod (Members who are chatting in Flashchat 6) in case users have sidebar blocks hidden.

Either your Flashchat is not installed correctly, or you have incorrectly set the language code in this mods options.
