If the simple module doesn't work try this:

1.Create a template called adv_portal_zh_chatting_users with this content:

<tr>
    <td class="thead"><span class="smallfont"><strong>Users Now Chatting: $totalchatters</strong></span></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$chatters</div></td>
  </tr>

2.Create a new php file called zh_now_chatting.php and upload it to modules folder with the following content:

<?php

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('forumhome_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;

$chatters = str_replace( "member.php", $vbulletin->options['bburl']. "/flashchat.php", $chatters);

eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_chatting_users') . '";');

?>

3.Add a new module using that php file and using that template

easy install and works great, thanks

lol I though this would be a hit cause everybody was requesting it

I have installed this, and I think correctly, but it is not showing on vbadvance page ??? I have Pauls M's hack installed for some time and it works.

I am sure I missed something in adding the module, any hints as to where to look for my error would be great.

BTW, thanks for writing this hack, something I've wanted for some time.

Did you upload the php file to modules folder?
IMported correctly?
Have installed Paul m's hacks?
Updated all pages?
Is the template correct?
Is the module active?

All I can think off

There seems to be an issue with the installation instructions. It mentions to upload the php file to the modules directory and then import the module file.

However if you do this, when you come to import the module file, it produces an error stating the the file already exists in the modules directory. If you ignore then first step and just upload import the module, it's fine. However, then you don't get any of the chat information below the heading 'Members Chatting'.

Finally, if you have two styles, how do you use on both?

Thanks ZiKi for the reply, here's whats happened now
Deleted module and reload it, set to update all pages, module showed up but...php code appeared at top of page so I went back an clicked on 'clean output file' but code still shows up and it breaks the templets ??? I have set it to inactive. Also notice changes in my Site Nav module... maybe I set something wrong in the home page. Any more suggestions ? (I guess by now you know I have very little php know how.)

Thanks for your help.
