Adding FlashChat support to your theme

[Daniel15]

Note that by default, the FlashChat mod is only installed on the default theme. To install this on your custom theme (so it shows the users in the chat under Users Online, and at the top of the page), you'll need to edit some files.

In Themes/[theme name]/BoardIndex.template.php, find:

Code: [Select]

echo '
', $context['show_who'] ? '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=who">' : '', $context['num_guests'], ' ', $context['num_guests'] == 1 ? $txt['guest'] : $txt['guests'], ', ' . $context['num_users_online'], ' ', $context['num_users_online'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users'];
Replace with:

Code: [Select]

echo '
', $context['show_who'] ? '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=who">' : '', $context['num_guests'], ' ', $context['num_guests'] == 1 ? $txt['guest'] : $txt['guests'], ', ' . $context['num_users_online'], ' ', $context['num_users_online'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users'], ', ', $context['num_chat'], ' ', $context['num_chat'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users'], ' ', $txt['fc_in_chat'];

Find:

Code: [Select]

if (!empty($context['users_online']))
echo '
', $txt[140], ':<br />', implode(', ', $context['list_users_online']);

Add after:

Code: [Select]

// --- Begin FlashChat integration ---
// If there's users in the chat
if (!empty($context['users_chat']))
echo '
<br />
', $txt['fc_users_online'], ':<br />', implode(', ', $context['list_users_chat']);
// --- End FlashChat integration ---

Also, open Themes/[theme name]/index.template.php, and find:

Code: [Select]

// But, let's always show minutes - Time wasted here: 0 minutes ;).
echo $context['user']['total_time_logged_in']['minutes'], $txt['totalTimeLogged4'], '<br />';
}
Add after:

Code: [Select]

// --- Begin FlashChat Integration ---
// Do we need to display a list of the users in the chat?
// Are there users online?
if (!empty($modSettings['fc_showUsers']) && !empty($context['users_chat']))
echo '
', $txt['fc_users_online'], ': ', implode(', ', $context['list_users_chat']), '<br />';
// --- End FlashChat Integration ---

Note that this will not add the Chat button to the menu bar. If you need help on that, please ask

I tried to add the last bit of code in my theme but couldn't find the statement that reads:

Code: [Select]

// But, let's always show minutes - Time wasted here: 0 minutes ;).
echo $context['user']['total_time_logged_in']['minutes'], $txt['totalTimeLogged4'], '<br />';
}
I'm using the MeshTP theme.  I'll also need help creating the button if you don't mind helping out.

Thanks.

I can't visit this forum that often... School is more important for me. I'm a 17-year-old student, and need to focus a lot of my effort on school work .

For everyone that requested a button, please provide a link to the theme you're using!
