This hack can only be used with v3.8.0 and later versions.

What Does This Hack Do?

This is an add-on/enhancement to my Flashchat: Who is chatting (Add On)

IMPORTANT NOTE: This hack works for FlashChat 5.0.x onwards only, and will not work with FlashChat 4.7.x.

IMPORTANT NOTE 2: I will NOT be producing a vBadvanced module version of this hack. This is due to the fact that all of my other Flashchat 5: Who is chatting add-on hacks are displayed under the navbar, so, I want all of the display locations to look consistent, and I only want to support one vBadvanced version, and this is it. So, please do not ask.


hack for vBadvanced. 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. vBadvanced v3.1.0
  2. Tufat's FlashChat v5.x.x
  3. Paul M's Flashchat 5 Integration for vB 3.8 v3.8.001
  4. Paul M's Members who are chatting in Flashchat 5 v3.8.002
  5. Mosh's Flashchat 5: Who is chatting (Add On) v3.8.004
  6. Then install this hack.

This does not change the functionality of Paul M's hack, this is just an enhancement to your installed version of Flashchat: Who is chatting.

The members on my forum requested that the Members currently using Flashchat box be moved to the top of the forums as it was a long way to scroll down to see who was chatting, at the top members could see who was chatting.

As members had to enter the chat or visit the forum homepage again to see who was chatting, I fixed it so that my members could also see who was chatting as they browsed the various forums and threads as well as on the who is online pages.

Paul M's has kindly given me permission to use some of his code in my Who is chatting add-on hacks.

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

What You Get

  1. It displays the chat list under the navbar in the following locations:
    • vBadvanced CMPS
  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. Display the Most Ever chatters if enabled.
  7. The ability to select which locations this hack is displayed (independent of Paul M's hack).
Note: This hack cannot display any bots in the chat, due to the strange way that FlashChat stores this information.
