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).

From the information you PM'd me, it looks like your chat is a folder level up from your forum (I would have thought you must have had to alter some paths in flashchat when you installed it) ?

Try ;

$fcfolder = '../chat'; // The folder name where your flashchat installation is located //

I'm off to bed in a couple of hours, and then away until next week. I'll check back in a bit to see if this fixed it, otherwise I'll check next week.

No I didn't have to alter anything. I just installed the newest version and from the way the install directions read I thought that's where it was supposed to go. Everything worked correctly with Flashchat itself so I didn't think anything was out of the ordinary. I'll try your fix and let you know if it works. Thanks.

That fixed it Paul. Thanks a lot.

Hi Paul,
is there anyway to Block Usergroups from the Chat?

I'm not sure what this has to do with who's chatting - but I don't quite follow anyway - can you be more specific about your problem please.

TBH, I'm not entirely following you.

1. Are you saying you want to ban a group from using the chat ? If so then you need to install my Flashchat upgrades hack.

2. Most chatters is possible by installing all, or part, of my Most Ever Users/Members/Guests/Chatters hack.

HTH.

flashchat

That'll fix all the quirks

This should be added to the instructions for the vBa, it really acts weird without it.
