FlashChat - Who is in the chat (Add-On) · **Released**: 05-19-2006

Hack Support

This hack is now discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates, nor will support be provided as the thread is no longer monitored.

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.

NOTE: Who is chatting Add-On (for Flashchat) for v3.6.x is available here.

vBulletin Version Compatibility

This hack has be tested with v3.5.8. This has not been tested with earlier versions, but should work.

What Does This Hack Do?

This is an add-on/enhancement to Paul M's FlashChat - Who is in the chat v 4.18, so this hack does not work without Paul M's hack installed first.

This does not change the functionality of Paul M's hack, this is just an enhancement to your installed version of FlashChat - Who is in the chat.

The members on my forum requested that the Who is in the chat box be moved to the top of the forums as it was a long way to scroll down to see who was chatting, at the top members could see who was chatting.

As members had to enter the chat or visit the forum homepage again to see who was chatting, I fixed it so that my members could also see who was chatting as they browsed the various forums and threads as well as on the who is online pages.

Code that is used in this hack is mainly Paul M's and he has kindly given me permission to use the code in my hack. I have also used part of the description off his hack as well.

Thanks Paul for all your work on the Flashchat integration, it makes all our lives easier

What it does

It displays the chat list under the navbar on Forum Home, Forum Display, Show Thread, Who is Online and on Search pages.
The list view is collapsable, so you see just the number.
Users who should display as coloured or bold etc are displayed correctly (based on the display usergroup)
If you 'hover' over a username it will show the room they are chatting in and their status (away etc).
If the chat is empty, a simple "no one is chatting" message is displayed.

Installation Instructions

Great mod.

I have one issue though. I'm using two styles and it shows fine on both styles within a forum / thread area, but only shows on one style for the forumhome. Any ideas?

If you can post (or PM me) the URL to your site, I will have a look. Please also let me know what style is affected.

Installed on vB 3.6.1 with ease.

Thank you for sharing this code with the rest of us.

You are most welcome

PaulM is the person to really thank though, as this is just based on his Who is in the Chat mod.

I even got this running on my vB 3.6.2 however, PaulM has updated his Who Is Chatting hack. With his update the code has obviously changed, so this will no longer work with his update he put out today Oct 14, 2006.

I kept the old hack he made and added it....then installed your hack and I'm back off and running once again.

It would be nice if you and Paul could work with one another and have this working with his latest version of Who Is Chatting hack.

Thanks

Is there any way to have this hack working with the latest intergration hack from PaulM?

Please?

Mosh · #48 11-08-2006, 05:03 AM

As soon as I install version 3.6.x at least on my test forum, I will update this mod, but until then please have patience.

TCB · #49 11-15-2006, 08:06 PM

looking forward to it. I loved it the way your addon showed the people currently in the chat on top of the forum (y)

I'll add my vote to having this work in with PaulM's latest version. Doesn't look like it would take too much to fix up, but beyond me nevertheless.

Must be a great mod, jdsinclair & PaulM, because when it went temporarily missing during the vBulletin upgrade, the members kicked up a stink about it.

+1, Would like to use this with the latest version of PaulM's hack. Any news on that?
