Forum Home Enhancements - Who is chatting (for Flashchat)

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This is a simple display of who is currently chatting in FlashChat - on the forum homepage display.

The main features of the 3.6 version are basically the same as previous versions ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home with the "Users online" display.
2. The list view is collapsable, so you see just the number.
3. Users who should display as coloured or bold etc are displayed correctly (based on the display usergroup)
4. If you 'hover' over a username it will show the room they are chatting in and their status (away etc).
5. If the chat is empty, a simple "no one is chatting" message is displayed.
6. The hack is phrased.
7. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
8. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
9. The location of the flashchat folder is now an ACP option
10. The option to record and display the Most Ever chatters has been added (v4.46+).

(Options are located in vBulletin Options > Who Is Using Flashchat).

Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

To upgrade from the 3.5 version you need to re-import the product with the overwrite option set to yes.


Note: This hack cannot display any bots in the chat, due to the strange way that flashchat stores this information.

Please also note that I have no connection with the Flashchat product - if you have questions about Flashchat functionality then their forums are located here.

This integration isn't showing up on my new skin that I installed. Can you tell me how I can manually edit my html in order to get this to display in my Who' Online area? I'm currently running vb3.6.7.

Hoping someone here may have a quick answer.

I am seeing the following in my error logs:

[Tue Jul 24 15:05:02 2007] [error] [client 66.135.44.164] File does not
exist: /my/path/to/inc/cmses/aedatingCMS.php

Is this an old version hack attempt or something? My only file in there is the vBulletin CMS that comes with the package.

Yes, it's probably someone trying to exploit a security hole that was present in the aedatingCMS.php file (about a year ago).

I import the product via ACP, but nothing appears on the forum home page. Integration with Flashchat installed and works fine. But I guess this mod for some reason can''t alter my FORUMHOME template. Is there any way to insert this section into the FORUMHOME manually? Thank you in advance.

[Paul M]

This has all the settings you need to do that in the options (ATCS settings).

[Transverse Styles]

Yep, i went into the admin cp options and I can't edit anything ... nothing appears on the FORUMHOME template, even after saying the options.

Same here. I am on the second version of vb 3.6.8 and use version 4.4.2. I noted that in the Installed Products list, it lists that I have installed 4.4.2, but that 4.4.1 is the latest version.
Please advise.

@Transverse_styles: nice skins BTW.

Right, and I used these options, but with no luck. Ended up with manually inserting the template into FORUMHOME, though I just wonder why it didn''t work automatically...
