This is a simple mod I created to not only fill in the gaps of features in the official addonchat product for vBulletin, but also add a few features which are liked on my forum. You will need to make a few changes to some of the templates for Addonchat. I have asked AddonInteractive to make a few fixes in their files to support a mod like this; so hopefully less edits will be needed in the future.
Features:
Adds a "Who's Chatting" list ABOVE the forum, instead of in the WGO area. Who's Chatting area will now also sort by usernames, and give markup based on display usergroups.
Adds a "most chatters at one time" datastore; this is the same datastore used by Paul's Flashchat Integration script; so if you switch from Flashchat to Addonchat, or vice versa, you will retain this record.
Adds support for Streaming video and chats from within the embed page. (Only works with the embedded page, not the popup page; I have disabled the popup page on my forum in order to promote the use of this new feature.) With this, users can chat in your chatroom, while also viewing flash based streaming video (uStream, JustinTV, etc). Stream data is handled through AJAX; so if you change the stream location, users will not be forced to leave the chatroom in order to get the new location, they only need to hit the "Update" button.
Thanks ... we really love the AddonChat product and the outstanding support given by the developer ....
Nice to see extensions being developed ...
Question: Before I install this, is it possible to have the option of keeping the Who's Chatting" list in the WGO area, instead of having it appear at the top of the forums? We're getting a little cluttered up there and it would be nice (at least for our site) to leave it in the WGO area.
This mod doesn't replace the existing WGO2 plugin, it adds a NEW one. So if you want to remove either of the two plugins (the above forum, and the WGO2), you simply need to disable the appropriate plugin.

After uploading everything and changing the template nothing has changed and i don't see an option for "Stream Settings", any idea what might be wrong?
Ok still having an issue, as u can see in the pic the "whos chatting" is showing a bad link/pic and i still dont have the stream settings option! Can u help?
# Setup your settings in "Stream Settings" under AddonChat in AdminCP.
Just cannot find this!?!?!? Looked in the forums Admin. Can see where I change the size of pop-up etc... but no "Stream" info?!!?
