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 (I have v3.0 RC2 installed and used it to create this module - used file vbadvanced_cmps_3_0_rc2_(vb_3_6)_4239.zip).

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

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 module anywhere on a vBadvanced CMPS page 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. This module displays the chat list anywhere 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.
