DESCRIPTION:
This is a module that contains a combination of code from several hacks all in one place to make a more complete FlashChat module for vbAdvanced. It works with the latest versions of FlashChat, vBulletin and vBadvanced. Also, optionally there are instructions for adding a module with link to your FlashChat Admin page in the zip file.
REQUIREMENTS:
You must have: vBulletin, vBadvanced, and FlashChat installed.
FLASHCHAT COMBO-MODULE WILL DISPLAY: (see included screenshot)
Total number of how many people are in the chat.
List of usernames of the people in chat with links to their profiles.
The names of your chat rooms with a head count per room.
The names of the people in chat listed under each chat room.
A link to join the chat.
If no one is in the chat a customizable message is displayed.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Upload the whochat.php file into your modules directory.
Next, you must create a new template.
Go to: >Admin >Styles & Templates >Style Manager >Add New Template
Title of the new template needs to be: adv_portal_whochat
You must replace the url in the code below to point to your flashchat.php file.
Copy the below code into the template area:
Next, add a new PHP file module in your vBa CMPS with the following settings:
Title: Who's Chatting!
File to include: whochat.php
Identifier: whochat
Templates used: whochat
....8. Tweak the module's permissions and click save. Your module should be active now!

# Future Plans #

- For version 2.0 of this module I plan to implement some kind of chat invitation system that will immediately notify other chosen members that you wish for them to enter the chat. A invitation window of some kind will appear containing the chat link. It would be nice if a sound would play to help alert them as well.
- In version 1x the module does not collapse fully. Rather just the members list collapses which is either a code mistake or a cool feature depending on your perspective. If you have many users in the chat having just the members list collapse might be a cool feature to leave in.
- I plan to combine into this module a link to the FlashChat Admin page and eliminate the need for a second module for that link. It needs to be coded so that only Admins can see that link.
FlashChat Admin Link in Quick Moderation Block
Here is a simple way to include a link to FlashChats Admin page inside the Quick Moderation block. I decided to put a link to the chat admin there because I have that block set so only Admins can see it. So it helps to keep the link to the chat admin secure.
Instructions:
How to add FlashChat Admin Link to Quick Moderation Block:
Go to >admincp >Styles & Templates >Edit Templates
Click on vBadvanced CMPS Templates >adv_portal_moderation
Find the last instance of: </td> </tr> and before it add the below link code: <a href="/forum/chat/admin/index.php" TARGET=_BLANK>Chat Admin</a></td>
Be sure to replace the correct path to your chat's index.php in the above link.
Save the template and your done!
See attached screenshot of the Quick Moderation block with chat admin link.
