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).

Perfect and took about 15 seconds (after getting to the files).

Thanks, Paul!

It works fine but is there any way to hide members who have chosen to be invisible?

Yes, but I deliberately didn't include it as it seemed a bit stupid TBH, you can't hide if you are in the chat.

The only reason I had asked is because I have one of my usergroups hooked up to the spy feature of FlashChat, and showing that those users are in the chat really defeats the purpose of that feature. However, I understand your reasoning and I will customize it for myself since many people might not have a use for that.

I see, in that case it is very easy for you, just modify the WHERE clause in the SQL to this ;

PHP Code:

WHERE user.usergroupid <> 6 AND connections.userid IS NOT NULL ORDER BY start 


Change the "6" to the id of you spy usergroup.

This is perfect. I've used Flashchat for a while and could never find a whois online edit. I installed it very quickly with no problems. Great job. *clicks install*
