Members who are chatting in Flashchat 4.
Mod Version: 3.8.001, by Paul M

vBulletin 3.8 Version
Please remember to click Mark as Installed if you use this modification.

This is a simple display of who is currently chatting in FlashChat - on the forum homepage display.

Note: This is compatible with Flashchat 4.7.x only, it will not work with Flashchat 5 or 6.

The main features are ;

1. It displays the list on Forum Home with the "Users online" display.
2. The list view is collapsable, 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 chatting" message is displayed.
6. The option to record and display the Most Ever chatters can be enabled.
7. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Options.
8. The ability to allow only certain usergroups to view the list is an ACP option (include or exclude groups).
9. The location of the Flashchat folder is an ACP option

(Options are located in vBulletin Options > Who Is Using Flashchat).

Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.


Further Notes:

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

I have no connection with the http://www.tufat.com/s_flash_chat_chatroom.htm product - if you have questions about Flashchat functionality then their forums are located http://www.tufat.com/phpBB2/index.php.
