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 am using VB 3.06 and I cant see anything in FORUMHOME which says <!-- end logged-in users -->

So I put it below this code:
<if condition="$show['loggedinusers']"> <!-- who's online -->

I get whos in chat and the names but its not in a table, the names are clickable, but thats it.

Now sure whats going on there

You have obviously either changed your forumhome template or are using a custom one - as your currently active users is at the top - which is not standard. Where do you want the chat list to appear, top or bottom of the page ?

[PamelaE]

I would like to show it at the top.

Yes you are quite right, we did change it to show at the top of the page.

Thanks

Well, if you PM me a copy of your forumhome template I'll look at how it needs changing for this hack.

Upload the inthechat.php file to your modules directory - and then create a new template called adv_portal_chatters. Copy the contents of adv_portal_chatters.txt into this new template.

Now Create a new module

Module Title: Users in Flashchat

Module Identifier: (leave blank)

File to Include: inthechat.php

OR Template to Include: (leave blank)

Templates Used: adv_portal_chatters

As previously mentioned - I have no way of testing this - but others have confirmed it as working.

Sorry, but as I said, I have no facility to test it. FYI - As far as I can see, Line 4 is the SQL query, if this fails then something in your set-up is very broken.
