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).

I installed this today to my forum home and its great, but looking at it, is there a way to copy and edit it so that up in my header of all pages of the site, I can list the same info? Before vb3.5 I was able to do a "Who's Online: MemberA, MemberB, MemberETC and 432 guests"

Any thoughts or knowledge of how to accomplish this?

somewhat off topic but...

I added Flashchat to our board and created a forum link on our forum home page. Members hardly ever scroll all the way to the bottom to see who's in the chat room so...

Is it possible to add the names of the people chatting next to the link for the chatroom? Similar to the picture below. Or maybe a mouse over, instead of a description it could show the names of the chatters?

I tried adding the source code to the Description and Title fields, didn't work
this is the code I added "Members currently in the Chat: $totalchatters"
Anyone else wanna take a stab at it?
This is a great idea RichTJ99!

I have a feeling this would get more attention if it was for the latest versions (3.5)

Some of the user groups of my forum do not see that this in line in chat. Where it can be the error?

One of the forums I admin is still on 3.0.x We recently implemented CMPS and I've been trying to get the "Who's Chatting" module for CMPS to work ( based on this post:)

The module trys to go full width (and fouls up everything else) and also has two collapsible icons (something not right). I got rid of the "width" statement, but that only affects part of the box.

Has anyone put together a "Who's Chatting" module that actually works right? It's obviously just an issue with the template formation since it is pulling the right info. I've messed with it for far too long.

I know this is unsupported, but maybe someone has sorted this out?
