Who is chatting (for Flashchat)

[pureturk]

any way to change the smillies in system?

[Paul M]

Please refer to the notes ;

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

[stagmite]

This integration isn't showing up on my new skin that I installed. Can you tell me how I can manually edit my html in order to get this to display in my Who' Online area? I'm currently running vb3.6.7.

[popowich]

Hoping someone here may have a quick answer.

I am seeing the following in my error logs:

[Tue Jul 24 15:05:02 2007] [error] [client 66.135.44.164] File does not
exist: /my/path/to/inc/cmses/aedatingCMS.php

Is this an old version hack attempt or something? My only file in there is the vBulletin CMS that comes with the package.

-Raymond

[Paul M]

Yes, it's probably someone trying to exploit a security hole that was present in the aedatingCMS.php file (about a year ago).

I import the product via ACP, but nothing appears on the forum home page. Integration with Flashchat installed and works fine. But I guess this mod for some reason can''t alter my FORUMHOME template. Is there any way to insert this section into the FORUMHOME manually? Thank you in advance.

[Paul M]

This has all the settings you need to do that in the options (ATCS settings).

[Transverse Styles]

Yep, i went into the admin cp options and I can't edit anything ... nothing appears on the FORUMHOME template, even after saying the options.

Same here. I am on the second version of vb 3.6.8 and use version 4.4.2. I noted that in the Installed Products list, it lists that I have installed 4.4.2, but that 4.4.1 is the latest version.
Please advise.

@Transverse_styles: nice skins BTW.

[lifanovsky]

This has all the settings you need to do that in the options (ATCS settings).Right, and I used these options, but with no luck. Ended up with manually inserting the template into FORUMHOME, though I just wonder why it didn''t work automatically...

[Zaiaku]

I have a question about this. It reports a using is in the chatroom when they left a long time ago. Does the mod go by the flashchat timeout settings or vbulletin timeout settings?

I have the flashchat timeout settings to 3mins, but vbulletin time out settings in 15mins. So if a member goes to the chatroom and closes the window is it going to wait for 15min to say they left the chatroom. If the member is still active on the site but not the chatroom it still says they are in the chatroom.

Same here. Help!

[foulplay]

You have to edit the usergroup list in order for it to show

[Mrdby]

so 3.6.7 is ok?

[pakomen]

You have to edit the usergroup list in order for it to show

Thanks so much. That did it. :D

[foulplay]

so 3.6.7 is ok?

yes you should be fine.

[Ceyhun]

You have to edit the usergroup list in order for it to show

Thanks

[winduff]

cheers, great mod. I have a request, is it possible to also use one query to like show a number of who's online next to the "chat" link?

Hence, add some small php/mysql query in one of the templates (nav)..... If that's possible... what is it :)

[loresfx]

No idea what i am doing wrong but it wont display anything on my forums.


www.rwc-clan.com/forums

[Paul M]

Could you please be a little more specific about your problem. :)

[loresfx]

im sorry, lets see if this helps.

I have vbulletin 3.6.4

- I installed flash chat (FlashChat_v4710)
- installed Who is chatting (for Flashchat) mod

on forum home i don't see anything that tells me how many users are logged in on flashchat.

If you need to go through the forums i can pm you a login and pass.

[SliceofLife]

*clicks install

I love this! Thank you!

[nikki712]

I'm running 3.6.8, and nothing is showing up. :(

[Paul M]

Can you be a little more specific please, what isn't showing up ?

[cyclone-uk]

I'm running 3.6.8, and nothing is showing up. :(

I had same problem, you need to edit the usergroups list in the who is using flashchat options with the id's of the usergroups you wish to be able to view.

[SCRIPT3R]

updated again... same version number?

[Paul M]

Yes, just an extra space in a template removed.

[Reg Car]

What a seamless installation. I wish all hacks could be installed so easily.

Thanks

Reg

[Techlion126]

I think I installed it correctly but when I lick on the flash chat I am sent to a chat room with nothing in it. Do you know what I did wrong>

I have been running this for a while and it has been flawless. Thank you Paul! Excellent work.

Praise of course leads to a question of sorts. Any thoughts on adding a online now icon that will show up on the users postbit profile. Maybe working with AJAX to show logged into chat or not etc. I just thought of this today when a member asked, so I haven't gotten very far with it, but will sculpt the idea when I have time.

Example below. Shows colored icon when in chat and greyed out icon when out. Chat status so to speak :)

[Paul M]

Either you don't have Flashchat installed, or it's not in the correct place.

[Paul M]

Version 4.46

The "Most Ever Chatters" option has now been added directly to the modification instead of needing the seperate ME product.

[Masiello]

Thanks

[SH0CK]

Before this last update, I could show the total number of users in chat on all pages of the site using the variable $totalchatters in the navbar. Now, it only shows on the index page. I thought it had something to do with global_start, but I see that this uses that already.

Any ideas?

[Paul M]

Have you actually set the option for all pages ?

[SH0CK]

Have you actually set the option for all pages ?Must be getting old... Didn't even think to check the options.

Thanks! :up:

[Parture]

I installed, but I can't find where it says "Most Ever chatters" added.

What might I have done wrong? http://biblocality.com/forums

[Paul M]

How exactly have you installed this ?

Your profile shows no evidence of you downloading the current version, and the version on your site is old.

[Parture]

Oops, silly me. I reinstalled the Integration and not the Who is Chatting.

[needaltuna]

Topnotch mod! Was a breeze to install and is working marvelously well in my board.

My only quibble is that the configuration options haven't shown up in the forum home page options of my admin panel. Any ideas why this is so? I'm using the latest versions of Flashchat and vBulletin.

Many thanks for the mod and your assistance.

[Paul M]

As it says;

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

:)

[needaltuna]

Thanks for that. I was going by this:7. The ability to turn it on/off is in the ACP Forum Home Options.

[Paul M]

It probably was a very long time ago, edited.

[Nik9]

Hi,

where i can get the german .xmls for this Hacks ?
I see at http://vbhacks-germany.org that there are german xml but they were removed.

Regards
Nik

[Paul M]

I only provide the modification in English.

Have you tried the official German modifications site.

[Jezlad]

Hi guys

I'm having a problem where users are automaically logged out of the chat room after a certain amount of time. Is there anyway to stop inactive chatters auto logging out of the chat room?

Is it a flashchat or vbulletin setting?

Thanks

[Paul M]

That would be a Flashchat setting.

[afullcup]

Just installed but Who is Chatting is not appearing on any of my pages. I set it to ON, set "Run Code on all pages", allowed the "Automatic Template Changes System" and saved it. It doesn't appear to have added anything to FORUMHOME

I am obviously missing something, do please tell :)

EDIT: Found it - I hadn't updated the Usergroups allowed to view it. Thanks!!

[afullcup]

I have seen this asked so many times, and not really answered in a straight-forward way. Can someone please explain exactly how to move the Who is Chatting box from the bottom of the page to the top of the page? I have been all over the place trying to figure out how this thing is being called and I can't. Help is much appreciated :)

nevermind - I finally found the additional add-on hack... http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=143840

[Dave Rosteck]

I recently moved to a new server and since then no members show up as currently chatting. I even upgraded to the latest version and still nothing. Any ideas?

[haytham]

Working like a charm 3.6.8

[rammbs]

installed. thanks!!

[Alfa1]

Paul,

Please consider writing a "display 'friends in flashchat' in navbar" add-on for vb 3.7. (below 'your notifications')
I am sure that this would intensify the use of flashchat on any site and enhance integration.

[Paul M]

Blimey, I'll have enough work making sure everything works on 3.7 first - but I'll keep it in mind.

[Alfa1]

Great. Thanks for the English lesson BTW. Never knew that expression before.

[Mosh]

Paul, just to let you know, while testing my Flashchat add-on hacks to check compatibility with v 3.7.0 beta 2, I tested this hack, and it works fine with no alterations apart from editing the product xml to change the dependency maxversion to allow it to work with v3.7.0 beta 2.

[testaj]

Great Hack! Easy Install!!

Thanks for all the hard work!

Just to make sure, I can change the phrases at

ACP->Languages & Phrases->Phrase Manager?

I seem to get there, and find the appropriate phrases, but it only allows me to add an english translation, not alter the text...maybe I'm barking at the wrong tree....

[testaj]

My Apologies, I'm an idiot! And it's late....

Operating a computer under the influence can have negative effects!!

[NeitherSparky]

Lol, I finally got around to installing the October update. Thanks Paul, it works great. ;)

[charlesbahn]

Installed, Thx

Charles

[J599D09D52F5]

This might be a very silly question but I cannot see the Product Manager within the Admin Control Panel.
Can someone pls briefly explain how to import the XML file.

Many Thanks!!

[Paul M]

Its in the Products & Plugins section (near the bottom of the ACP).

[J599D09D52F5]

Thanks for the quick reply! I got it working now!!! Great stuff!!

[zone 5]

I have my "who's online " list at the TOP of the page, along with a left side column when I install the whos chatting, it also puts that on top, and the formating on the page is off. I'd like to have just the who's chatting at the BOTTOM of the page in the "whats going on section". What whould I need to edit to do this?

Thanks! checked installed, and great hack!

[stuartn]

I'm playing with some new skins and the flash chat box doesn't appear on my homepage for any other skin than default....any clues why I'm starting to scratch my head here.

[stuartn]

doh..templates

I shall switch my head on first next time.

[joeysdad]

Thank you, was looking everywhere for such a Mod, great job!

[Lord Zedd]

Thank you for the plugin. It works like a charm. Little note : before I found this plugin I went to the tufat website, followed their instructions to the letter to show who is chatting. It didn't show on my template. This plugin however did work.

[astrat]

Just tried installing in vb 3.6.8 and get an error message when it tries to load the forum

This is the error I get

Warning: require_once(/export/home/webs/cabinetmakers/public_html/forums/chat/inc/config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /global.php(360) : eval()'d code on line 7

[Paul M]

Either you dont have flashchat installed or its not in the standard location, so you need to set the option to tell the mod where to find it.

[astrat]

Hi Paul,

First .. thanks for the prompt response .. you'll have to bear with me I'm a newbie at all of this.

I have the latest version of flashchat installed ver 4.8.3 and I'm using VB 3.6.8

I did install your mod for incorporating FC into VB and that is working great.

How and where do I find how to set the option telling VB where your mod is ??? Is this during the import of the mode or somewhere in the mod itself ??

Thanks for your patience

[Paul M]

From the main post :)

9. The location of the flashchat folder is now an ACP option

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

[astrat]

Hi Paul ...

Not sure if your reply was to me or not ...........

I don't see this option in VCP ... maybe because the install crashes the site ... as above

Art

[forumrunt]

Having same problem where do I change the location so this will show. I have it in forum/vb/chatroom

Thanks

[Paul M]

That message is not an installation error, to get that it must have installed itself.

Having same problem where do I change the location so this will show. I have it in forum/vb/chatroom
Please read post #324, it tells you where the options are located - "Location of FlashChat Folder" is the one you want.

[Phaedrus]

Why would this not show how many users are in the room next to "Members currently in the Chat Room:"?

Thanks.

[Paul M]

Probably because you have customised the phrase at some point so its missing the parameter.

[Phaedrus]

Ah, the showspiders hack then.

What phrase is it looking for and where? Will I be able to fix it easily?

Do I just add the $Phrase into the Display_Chatters template in the right place?

[Chy]

Installed, thanks!

[boatswife]

Thank you for your FC mods!

[justchil]

Great mod... it really helped me get a vBa module setup as well :)

For those of you using vBa and not able to get a module/block working...

Make sure you go to vBadvanced CMPS Options -> Main Options -> Portal Output Global Variables... Add totalchatters and chatters. I have chatmax as well but I modified the plugin so chatters only displays the names instead of both the names and the record # of chatters.

If anyone might know how to remove the color from $chatters it would be very helpful. I did this with my onlineusers.php some time ago but I don't think this method applies to the who is chatting mod. If I find out how I'll post it up in case someone else may find it useful.

[Phaedrus]

Paul?

What phrase do I need to add to which template? I'd love to be informed when people enter the room without having to have it extended all the time.

Thanks!

[Paul M]

Revert the "wic_using_flashchat" phrase.

[Phaedrus]

I know what happened. I forgot the {1}...

Duh.

[segwayon]

Could editing the phrase "Members currently using Flashchat:" within Phrase Manager have stopped the integer from showing up? It lists members underneath but not the number of members anymore.

I don't recall having seen any markup codes with the edit of that phrase. Any pointers appreciated.

Aha! I see the answer right above in Phaedrus' issue. Thanks for a cool product!

[odeezie]

It's not designed to be moved.

Hi Paul, thank you so much for your efforts on this hack, it is excellent.

I was just still wondering if the Who is using FlashChat box is still unable to move....i see that post was back in Sep. of '06 and was just checking to make sure i didnt miss a mod that allowed users to move the box.

Thank You for your time!

Brad

[Paul M]

Its always possible to move it if you know what you are doing and are prepared to edit templates/options as needed. I however cannot help with such changes or support them.

[BucShot]

The 3.8 version of this mod installs fine but this 3.6x version is getting failed to open stream errors with Flashchat 5.0.10 even though the file listed in the error exists.

(/chat/inc/config.php on line 5 and 11) ~ Flashchat 5.0.10 is working on 3.6.8 BTW...

Any idea what's going on here?

I installed a older version of Flashchat (4.7.8) and that fixed the problem. Mod's working fine.
Also worth mentioning, the older version of Flashchat appears to work much better. The new version (5.0.10) is extremely buggy.

[Jensers]

Agreed - I had the same problems, the same results. 5.0.10 is not ready.

[Joe Blow]

Anyone know how to get this working with Flashchat 5.0.11?

I'm running vbulletin 3.6.12

[wacnstac]

Ported this post to the correct thread. I am having problems with this plugin giving me corrupted characters before it correctly posts the number of people in the chat. Please see the screenshot below:


http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1965&pictureid=12136

See the %1$s that's what I'm talking about.

[Paul M]

I cannot see a screenshot, but what you describe normally means the phrase has been customised in the past, you need to revert it (drop the custom version).
