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.

Correct, they way the mods work, the last one executed will appear at the top.

Aaa Ha! Now that worked.

Ok, so after causing all that trouble, I guess I thought this mod/hack put it at the top of of the forums home page. This is of course fine where it is. Didn't the 3.5.4 version all you to put it on the top?

Suppose I'll go look at the old one and see what maybe I need to do to make that happen since i don't recall what I did to make it happen.

Sweet - been looking forward to a 3.6.

I never have any problems with your mods!

Great mod, thank you!

Someone asked earlier, but I guess I will repeat the question because there was no answer. Can this be incorporated into a CMPS?

I would love to have this on the portal.

i made a module for vBA in the 3.5 version... haven't looked at this one yet, but i'm guessing it would more or less be the same.

The php code has changed from the final 3.5 version, but that's all, the template code and output variables are the same.

I made a minor chage to the xml file to change the icon used; glad I could do that, that was nifty. Thanks a lot for this!

Hi, i already installed the "Who is Chatting" File - it works but the Usernames are not correct....?

Where could be the problem ?
