All users in chat

[christianchat]

A number of our users have asked for a way to see all the users in the chat room, rather than having to flip from room to room to see who is around.

Fortunately all the chatting users can be listed on your webpage using the provided open API.

You can display the user name list of each room on your webpage by retrieving data from "room_*.txt".

In the <123 installed directory>/server/data/default/, you can find the following files:

"room_1.txt ", "room_2.txt", etc.

These files store the online user lists of relevant rooms. These will keep changing depending on the changes of specific rooms.

The tutorial is written here:

Not sure I agree - that does not auto update needs the page to be refreshed as far as I can see. It is also clunky to configure for hosted sites.

It would be better if it were possible to see people internally in chat from the chat - that way you could also PM across the site to people in other rooms. It simply would need another tab in the room drop down list saying "All users"
