Flashchat - who is online with showing the chatters avatars

this is a beta release of a "who is online" mod for Flashchat

Version 0.2

What's new:

• now working with prefixes for the database tables
• now working with gif-avatars too
• resize option (yes / no)
• better image quality because of gdlib2

Features:

• generate dynamically resized avatar-pics for the chatting users
  and displays them on the forumhome with the username and a link to their profile

issues/bugs/ todo:

• if too many users are chatting, the tablerow grows and grows instead of breaking into a new tablerow (fixing it later)
• doesn't show avatars when they aren't stored in the db(thekeeper)

note: you need the gdlib2

installation and upgrade information inside the .zip

Hmm, not working for me, gives parse errors. For what I can see there are three of these { and only two of these }

[The Keeper]

Yup, just fixed it, you're missing a closing brace.

oh hi! i am really amazed that someone uses this it's my first "mod"


so let's start over:

@ karlogaga: I will rewrite the instructions in the next release. sorry for that.
with forum.test.tld i ment that you just have to insert there the url of your forum. tld = topleveldomain... so if your forum is http://forum.test.com... insert the url in the script

if your location is at : http://www.test.com/forum, please do not use a trailing slash, so http://www.test.com/forum would be right and
http://www.test.com/forum/ would be wrong

<if condition="$chatter['count'] >0"> is a template condition for vbulletin..
for example you could write something like this:

<if condition="$chatter['count'] >0">
in chat are: $chatter[usernames]
<else />
nobody is chatting right now
</if>

so when someone is in the chat you'll get the "in chat are + picture" and if no one is chatting there will be the output "nobody is chatting right now"



@FilmoreSlim yep, that will come next.

@thekeeper: where ? would be cool if you could tell me, so that I can update the file.

thx for your replies

[The Keeper]

Ok, fixed that and now nobody shows up in the box when I have them logged into chat.

Just replace

// concatenate the temp stuff to > $chatusers
	$chatusers = $chatusers.$temp;

}; // End foreach

with

// concatenate the temp stuff to > $chatusers
	$chatusers = $chatusers.$temp;
}	
}; // End foreach

@Quasan: Hi, thanks for your answer! I'll try to install it, was working almost all day on the integration of the new version of flaschat in vb3, now it doesnt autologin anymore, what a bummer..

@Keeper: does it work now with your fixes?

[The Keeper]

It doesn't give a parse error anymore, but the variable $chatter[usernames] is always blank.

[quasan]

thekeeper: sorry i tripple and quad checked the amount of { and }

there are exactly 3 opening tags and 3 closing brackets.

the first closing } is after the do while loop

the second is

}; // End foreach

and the third: }; // End $count_chatter >0

please recheck this, because the amount of {} is right. I cannot explain where your parse error came from. what message came with the php debugger?

if you are not sure where the error is, please test the following.

open the http://forum.test.com/avatar_resize.php?u=USERID

with a user Userid where the user has a avatar.
for example:

http://forum.test.com/avatar_resize.php?u=1

it should show the resized avatar of the user

[The Keeper]

Sorry, ignore me, I copied the code wrong, which is why it isn't working for me.

[The Keeper]

Works now, but the avatar function isn't quite right. People with avatars are showing up as the noavatar thing
