auto update chat users without page refresh

where it says



There are currently ### user(s) on the ChatBox�


is there anyway to write a script or something to make this update without a page refresh?

Hi! It's AWC you're using, right? I'm an AWC user as well. I've seen you on AvacWeb b4. Hey, Ange wrote a script for refreshing chat every whatever you like for a period. You may wanna search for that in the topics around here. Just saying. It may help you. And since you're a good scripter, you might find yourself the answer in just that one small but very important post of her! If you can't find the answer here, please consult LG first I'd advise!

no im not talking about the chat box but on the forum itself under

Who is online?

Like I said b4, you're a good scripter, and I think together with what Ange wrote b4 you might strike lucky. Else, please consult Ange on this. She's the greatest on this. Sorry for interrupting in this topic of yours, I thought I could help you out and get you in the right direction...

yea i looked around and tried to change up some other script but had no luck.. im still a script kiddy im just starting to learn javascript

<< NVM the n00b. I'm ok. You should really get in touch with Ange! She's an angel. Please, be very kind to her. I'm sure she can help you!

Hi _Twisted_Mods_,

Is your chatbox on the homepage where those texts are ? If so, we can access the frame to get the length of the chat members. Otherwise, we could probably use some AJAX to load the chatbox. ( never tried that )

yea the chatbox is on the forum page so you can get the iframe .. and i dont know crap about ajax other then i think its some kinda cleaner lmao

Yeah, you should keep far off of that AJAX stuff I know. Ange's wearing special toxic waste gloves for that. We better stand back while Ange's on it.

Try this :
Administration Panel > Modules > JavaScript codes management > Create a new script

Title : Your choice
Placement : In the homepage
Paste the code below :

Code:

$(function() {
  var fa_chat = document.getElementById('frame_chatbox'), frame;
  if (!fa_chat) return;
  
  fa_chat.onload = function() {    
    if (fa_chat.contentDocument) frame = fa_chat.contentDocument;
    else if (fa_chat.contentWindow) frame = fa_chat.contentWindow.document;
    var mem_thn = frame.getElementById('chatbox_members').getElementsByTagName('LI').length, mem_now;
    
    var a = frame.getElementsByTagName('A');
    for (var i=0; i<a.length; i++) if (/archives/.test(a[i].href)) a[i].onclick = function() { window.clearInterval(_chat_refresh) };

    _chat_refresh = window.setInterval(function() {
      mem_now = frame.getElementById('chatbox_members').getElementsByTagName('LI').length;
      if (mem_now > mem_thn || mem_now < mem_thn) {
        var s = document.getElementsByTagName('SPAN'),i;
        for (i=0; i<s.length; i++) if (/gensmall/.test(s[i].className) && /ChatBox/.test(s[i].innerHTML)) s[i].innerHTML = s[i].innerHTML.replace(/<strong>\d+<\/strong>/,'<strong>'+mem_now+'</strong>');
        mem_thn = mem_now;
      }
    },1);
  }
});

It should update the count whenever someone signs in or out.

unfortunately it didn't work .. idk if it would effect it but our names r styled like i have a image for my name some people have shadows and some people have icons b4 there name

I'm sorry I thought you were talking about the member count :


I'll have to write something else for the usernames..

sorry i didnt specify b4 i was wanting to update both the # of online and the name list
