Flashchat: Who is chatting

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This is a simple ForumHome display of who is currently using your Flashchat.

Version 2.20 is for use with Flashchat 4.1.x - however, it may work with older versions of Flashchat if set-up correctly.

The main features of Version 2.xx are ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home with the "Users online" display.

2. The list view is collapsable, so you just see the number.

3. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc should be displayed correctly. (based on the display usergroup)

4. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the room they are chatting in.

5. If the chat is empty, a simple "no one is chatting" message is displayed.


Note: This will not display the names of any bots in the chat, due to the strange way that flashchat stores this information.


With help from Cyricx a CPMS module is located in this post. (Version 2.20 only, unsupported - use at your own risk).

Nice mod, and easy to install, but after installing I entered chat, but my name doesn't appear next to the Whose in chat box. What might I be doing wrong, any ideas?

Did you refresh the display ?

Merry Christmas!

Yes, I refresh the display, I waited for a half and hour and refreshed the display again, I tried everything I could think of, still no name shows up.

I'm sure it something pretty simple, but I'm not a coding expert so have no clue where to start to look.

Any other ideas?

Thanks

TBH, I have no idea - there is not exactly much to go wrong.

When you login to flashchat, it adds you to its connections database, which this hack queries. Simple as that. I would guess your flashchat isn't working quite right - what is the address of your forum ?

Well chat itself seems to be working fine from what I can see. My forum is here

Thanks for your help.

Have you put the code in index.php ?

peep sprnch.com I have it in a custom box on the main vbindex page. Not only that, guests cant see in the room and it only shows members in the room for reg. users if the chat has over 10 users. freakin hot man.

nice addition.

Well it took me a few minutes to figure out your mistake, but the small snippet of code finally gave it away.

You have put the hack code in the wrong file. It goes in vB's index.php - you appear to have installed it in flashchat's index.php.

See posts 11 & 19 in this thread for your answer.

Btw, could you please edit your posts to enclose the code in PHP tags, otherwise unregistered users can just copy it.

Thanks! That got me sorted.
