vBulletin Version Compatibility

This hack can only be used with vBulletin v3.6.x.

What Does This Hack Do?

This is an add on for my Who is chatting Add-On (for Flashchat) hack, which in turn is an add-on/enhancement to Paul M's Who is chatting (for Flashchat) v 4.46.

NOTE: Only install this if you have http://www.vbadvanced.com/ CMPS installed.

You really only need to install either this hack or my Who is chatting vBadvanced Module (for Flashchat), as this is a vBulletin Product and that is a vBadvanced Module.

What hacks need installing before installing this hack?
These hacks need to be installed in this order and working correctly, for this hack to work.

1. http://www.tufat.com/s_flash_chat_chatroom.htm v4.7.x (v5.x.x has not been tested with this hack)
2. Paul M's Flashchat Integration for vB 3.6 v3.55
3. Paul M's Who is chatting (for Flashchat) v4.46
4. Mosh's Who is chatting Add-On (for Flashchat) v4.46a
5. Then install this hack

This does not change the functionality of my add-on hack, this adds an the ability to display a Who is chatting box on vBadvanced CMPS as well as the other locations in my original Who is chatting Add-On (for Flashchat) hack.

Code that is used in this hack is mainly Paul M's and once again he has kindly given me permission to use the code in my Who is chatting add-on hacks. I have also used part of the description from his hack as well.

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

What It Does

1. It displays the chat list under the navbar on the vBadvanced portal page.
2. The list view is collapsible, 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 currently using the chat." message is displayed.
6. The ability to select if enabled on vBadvanced portal.
7. Display the Most Ever chatters if enabled.

Note: This hack cannot display any bots in the chat, due to the strange way that FlashChat stores this information.

Installation Instructions

1. Import the XML into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager. If upgrading from an earlier version, then set Allow Overwrite to Yes.
2. In vBulletin Options > Who Is Using Flashchat (Add-On). Select if you want to enable display on the vBadvanced portal.
